Chapter 229 Playing Dirty
The Enigma City branch was one of the more influential branches of the Wilson Family, and Dashiell was its head. His business achievements made him one of the top figures among the second generation of the Wilson Family.
If it weren't for the fear that the power in Enigma City would be too difficult to control, the best choice for the Cloud Group when they expelled Ethan from Novaria would have been to let Dashiell take over the Cloud Group.
For Brady, Beverly may be deemed a fortuitous serendipity.
"Since you sent Uncle Wilson to Everglow City, I don't have to rush over there; I just found some useful information that might help you!" Beverly suddenly had a bright idea and said to Brady.
"What information did you get?" Brady's eyes lit up as he asked.
"Ethan recently established IntelliMerge Group in Baytown. He has already gained a foothold there and is now the largest private coal enterprise. Except for a few state-owned enterprises under the Baytown Bureau, no one can compete with him!" Beverly brought up Ethan's IntelliMerge Group in Baytown in a timely manner.
She still remembered what Ethan had said to her before leaving Novaria, and it was clear he had decided!
"The IntelliMerge Group that suddenly rose in Baytown is his! Is the information accurate?" Brady was shocked by the news. After leaving the Cloud Group, he didn't expect Ethan to make a comeback so quickly and in such a covert manner, setting up such a big game in Baytown! The current market value of IntelliMerge Group is no less than that of the Cloud Group!
He thought, 'Ethan getting expelled from the Wilson Family and the Cloud Group was just two or three months ago. How does he manage this?'
"Absolutely accurate. But signs indicate that he has been planning this for a long time and started taking action more than a year ago!" Beverly nodded half-truthfully.
"So, I really underestimated him. Where did he get such a large amount of capital?" Brady's face turned grim.
"This is still under investigation. But I believe we will have results soon!" Beverly said confidently.
"You just said this information could help me. What do you mean by that?" Brady suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"It's quite simple. Ethan is now in Everglow City and can only be in one place at a time. As long as Uncle Wilson can keep him occupied in Everglow City, I can take this opportunity to have the Cloud Group acquire IntelliMerge Group. Once IntelliMerge Group becomes ours, it will be a significant blow to Ethan!" Beverly laid out her plan, which Ethan had previously instructed her to do.
"Acquire IntelliMerge Group! Are you confident?" Brady's eyes lit up upon hearing this!
"I already have a rough plan. It's relatively easy to execute, but I need sufficient funds. With the current strength of the Cloud Group alone, it might not be possible!" Beverly began to set a trap for Brady!
Brady fell silent upon hearing this. After a long pause, he suddenly asked, "If you were to acquire IntelliMerge Group, how long would it take?"
"If the funds are sufficient, it can be done within half a month!" Beverly said confidently.
She thought, 'With Ethan's cooperation, it wouldn't even take half a month, just a few days! But if it were too easy, Brady would suspect, so half a month is neither too long nor too short.'
"Alright! This time, I'll trust you and let you go ahead boldly. Don't worry about the funding; I'll fully support you. Just tell me how much you need, and I'll allocate it to you in batches!" After hearing her assurance, Brady immediately slapped the table and made up his mind.
"Thank you for your trust, Brady!" Beverly knew that once she took this step, there was no turning back. From now on, she had to be extremely cautious with every step!
While Brady and Beverly were discussing how to trap Ethan, Ethan was in the room with Sarah.
After making love, Sarah lazily nestled in Ethan's arms, blinking her big eyes curiously, and asked, "When you took Chloe back today, did she say anything to you?"
"What do you think she would say? You two have completely turned me into a sinner. I guess I'll owe you both for the rest of my life!" Ethan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"From the way you say it, it sounds like the guilty ones are us, not you. Don't get too proud! Many men would dream of being in your position!" Sarah pouted and playfully punched Ethan's chest.
"Let's not talk about it. Let's get some sleep." Ethan shook his head with a bitter smile, clearly not wanting to dwell on the topic.
"Don't change the subject. Since Chloe has already made her stance clear, how do you plan to handle Alice?" Sarah pinched Ethan's nose and pressed him for an answer.
"What is this all about? I've told you so many times that I have no interest in Alice!" Ethan felt a headache coming on.
"You may not be interested in her, but she is interested in you! Who knows if one day Alice throws herself at you, will you be able to resist?" Sarah scoffed, not taking it seriously.
"So, what do you want me to do? Send Alice back now?" Ethan rolled his eyes, feeling completely helpless.
"Alright, let's get some sleep. If Chloe isn't in a hurry, why should I be?" Seeing that Ethan really didn't want to talk about it, Sarah wisely ended the topic, knowing it would only make him uncomfortable.
Ethan finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hugging Sarah and closing his eyes.
The next morning, Ethan drove to the Miller family, picked up Chloe, and brought her to the hotel to have breakfast with Sarah and the others.
Jayden was picked up by Orion early in the morning.
The details of the new company's preparation still required Jayden to represent Ethan's side in the negotiations.
When Ethan appeared at Skyline Center with the three girls again, the Ashford family immediately got the news.
Even more exaggerated, not only did Ethan and his group show up, but shortly after, a group of young people from the Harris family, led by Lucien, also appeared in the Skyline Center mall.
A large group of people shopping has naturally attracted a lot of attention.
It didn't take long for the news of Ethan and the Harris family hanging around with the Ashford family to spread throughout the upper social circles of Everglow City, and everyone sensed something unusual.
After Lucien's public apology yesterday, almost everyone knew that the Ashford family had bowed to the Harris family, and the Harris family's demand for Skyline Center had already leaked.
When Dorian and Caspar learned about Ethan and the Harris family's actions that morning, they became furious.
"What is Ethan trying to do? Does he really think our Ashford family is easy to bully? That is simply shameless!" Caspar cursed angrily, clearly provoked by Ethan's shameless actions, reigniting her anger.
"He wants to send a message to the outside world or make things more chaotic! The Harris family clinging to Skyline Center is his idea! Does he think that by doing this, I'll give them Skyline Center? He's dreaming!" Dorian was angry but clear-headed, understanding Ethan's intentions.
However, he wasn't sure if Ethan's methods were limited to this in his quest for Skyline Center.
In Dorian's current state, there arose a somewhat ominous feeling.
