Chapter 593 Using the Plan Against Them
When Jude heard that he was supposed to manage the company, he immediately hesitated.
"Lloyd, I can't do it," Jude said. "I've never managed a company before. I don't know how to."
Lloyd said, "Jude, you don't need to do anything. Your last name is Abbott. Just sit there, and people will listen to you. You don't need to actually work; there are employees for that. Do you want Celia to come back? If Celia sees your change, she might change her mind."
These words hit Jude's soft spot.
Jude still regretted it now; he shouldn't have divorced in a fit of anger.
Plus, Lloyd said managing the company was simple, and thinking about Susan's scolding earlier, Jude's fighting spirit ignited.
Clenching his fist, he said, "Lloyd, you're right. I've been freeloading at home for so many years; I should do something for this family. Mom is getting old, and Finnegan is blind. I need to take up the responsibility and prove myself."
Lloyd smiled and patted Jude on the shoulder. "Jude, that's right. I believe in you. But don't say it was my idea."
Jude was puzzled. "Why?"
"I've been away from the family for thirty years. I heard that a few of our brothers fought with Finnegan for the company and didn't end well. If Finnegan knows it was my idea, he might get suspicious."
"Finnegan isn't that kind of person, and I believe you aren't either," Jude said nonchalantly. "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
A hidden smile of success flashed in Lloyd's eyes. The second step to bringing down the Abbott family was to let Jude take over the company.
Deacon had been planning for years but hadn't caused much loss to Abbott's Corporation. Lloyd couldn't wait any longer. Now was the chance to make the Abbott family fall under Jude's hands, ensuring they never rise again.
Jude, unaware of falling into Lloyd's trap, was still enthusiastically thinking about doing a good job.
In the afternoon, Jude went to the hospital and told Finnegan that he wanted to take charge of the company.
Finnegan immediately sensed something was off and asked, "Dad, why do you suddenly want to go to the company?"
Jude remembered Lloyd's reminder and said, "I'm bored at home. Your vision isn't good, and your grandma is getting old. I can't just stay at home. I feel like I need to do something for the family.."
Ophelia didn't say anything.Finnegan could make the decision.
'Why does he suddenly think so?' he thought.
Finnegan naturally didn't believe it. It must be Lloyd's idea.
"Finnegan, what do you think?" Jude's confidence weakened a bit seeing Finnegan's silence. "Would you give me a chance to prove myself?. I don't want to be useless all my life."
"Alright."
Finnegan agreed. "You can go to the company tomorrow. Linda will help you if you need anything."
"Finnegan, did you agree?" Jude was very excited. "That's great. I'll go tomorrow. Finnegan, take good care of yourself. Don't worry. I am sure your eyes will get better."
Finnegan agreed to Jude for two reasons: to see what Lloyd would do and to give Jude a chance to prove himself.
But this chance was likely to be a blow.
However, after living half his life, finally wanting to make an effort was also progress.
Jude left the hospital happily. Ophelia said worriedly, "Are you sure you want Jude to manage the company? He has no working experience."
"Do you know why he wants to join the company?"
With no outsiders around, Finnegan didn't need to pretend to be blind. He looked at Ophelia. "It's Lloyd's idea."
Ophelia said, "He really wants to bring down the Abbott family."
"Because that knows nothing, they thought they could use him. I've got a plan. "Finnegan instructed, "Ophelia, have you done everything I asked you to do?"
"Yep. I've made a new financial report, I am sure there are no loopholes," Ophelia said. "Or the assets under the company's name have been transferred. ."
"That's good." A cold light flashed in Finnegan's eyes. "Now we just wait for him to fall into the trap."
