Chapter 351 Top-tier Wealthy People
Suddenly, William's face changed, and he stood up abruptly, his eyes blazing with anger as he stared intently at Jeffery.
"Where is Sarah?" William growled in a low voice, like a beast guarding its offspring, and he grabbed Jeffery by the collar.
The aura around him transformed into a sharp dagger, piercing directly through Jeffery's mental defenses!
'What's going on with William? His aura is so fierce!' Jeffery thought to himself, feeling a chill running down his spine.
He swallowed hard, forced a smile, and asked, "William, why are you so agitated?"
As he spoke, he took out his phone and started a video call.
Soon, the screen showed Lucy and Sarah at an amusement park, having a great time.
"Sarah!" William called out.
"Daddy, Daddy, I'm at the amusement park! It's so much fun! Lucy is here too, and there are several people playing with me."
In the video, Sarah looked very happy.
Lucy was also there, saying, "William, I'm taking care of Sarah."
William frowned deeply, looking sinisterly at Jeffery, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you want?"
Jeffery straightened his suit, glanced at Mary on the hospital bed, and smiled, saying, "Mary, what's up with William lately? Why is he so angry? I just took Sarah out to play."
Mary quickly apologized, "Jeffery, I'm sorry. He has been busy with company matters lately. I apologize on his behalf."
Jeffery smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's fine. If you have any issues with your company, feel free to come to me. I'll help you out."
"No need!" William said coldly, then took a step forward, staring icily at Jeffery. "Jeffery, don't try to meddle, or what happened that night will happen to you again!"
Jeffery's brows furrowed upon hearing this, feeling quite displeased.
"William, you're just relying on the Jones Group. Do you really think you're that impressive?" Jeffery sneered, a hint of smugness in his eyes. "But I've heard, the Jones Group is in trouble, isn't it?"
With that, Jeffery said to Mary, "Mary, if you need any help, just come to me. William can't handle it."
With that, Jeffery walked away, looking very pleased and arrogant.
William quickly contacted Alan and learned that Sarah had been sent back to the villa.
William was a bit anxious, thinking, 'Where does Jeffery get his confidence from? Is he trying to show off? Or is the Jones Group in trouble?'
William walked out of the hospital room and called George, "Hey, George, what's the situation?"
On the other end, George sounded worried and reported, "Sir, the offshoots of the Jones family have taken back the Jones Group. Your true identity may be revealed."
It was the offshoots of the Jones family again!
William was furious, vaguely sensing that this had something to do with Jessica.
Without the Jones Group, all of William's previous efforts were in vain.
Should he reveal his true identity to Mary?
No way!
There were so many eyes on Skyheart Island, on the Jones family, and on him.
Once his true identity was revealed to the public, Mary and Sarah would face a hundredfold increase in danger and might even attract the attention of various powerful forces.
By then, no matter how capable William was, he wouldn't be able to handle it all.
This was William's current concern.
William immediately called Bennett. On the other end, Bennett said respectfully, "Oh, Mr. Jones, you finally called me. Is there anything you need my help with?"
"Bennett, set up a strong venture capital firm right away. It needs to move into Lindwood City immediately. Use foreign capital holdings and make my former overseas identity the controlling entity," William said calmly, already having a plan in mind.
Without the Jones Group, he could build his own company.
After all, he still needed to intervene and resolve the ongoing crisis at BK Pharmaceuticals.
"Alright, I'll handle it right away," Bennett said.
He hung up the phone and immediately got to work.
With one phone call, Bennett's holding company abroad started operating right away.
Meanwhile, William turned around and went back into the ward, only to see Mary staring blankly at the news on TV, her brows furrowed.
The host reported, "According to the latest report, the Jones Group has declared bankruptcy due to internal adjustments."
William watched the news, his brows slightly furrowed, surprised at how quickly the information had spread.
Mary looked at the content on the TV, then turned to William and asked, "William, is the Jones Group your family's?"
William didn't hide it. He sat down next to Mary and nodded. "Yes."
"And now you..." Mary said worriedly.
The Jones Group had gone bankrupt, which meant William might be in a tough spot.
"I'm fine. It's just family matters. Don't worry about it. Take care of yourself," William said, holding back from telling Mary more.
Mary's brows furrowed as she reached out to hold William's hand, smiling gently. "William, it's okay. You still have me. Even if the family goes bankrupt, I believe we can get through it. If worse comes to worst, I'll take care of you," she said softly.
William looked at Mary, lovingly touching her forehead, smiled, and said, "Alright, take care of me from now on."
Mary smiled, then asked seriously, "William, are you sure the bankruptcy of the Jones Group won't affect you?"
William shook his head, glanced at the TV, and said, "No, it won't."
However, William wasn't entirely sure. If Jessica had indeed teamed up with the offshoots of the Jones family, what was their goal?
The Jones Group was a shell company set up years ago by his father, Mario.
Now, Jessica and the offshoots of the Jones family had declared this company bankrupt. Did they get Mario's approval?
Of course, this news also caused a stir in Lindwood City.
People still remembered how impressive the Jones Group was, investing a billion dollars in BK Pharmaceuticals!
Now, it had gone bankrupt.
Many people thought it was because of BK Pharmaceuticals, and claimed Mary, the chairwoman, was cursed with bad luck!
The next day, a bombshell news story shook Lindwood City!
A top billionaire from abroad had established an angel investment company in the city, Crescent Investment Group, instantly attracting the attention of the entire city.
Moreover, it was revealed that this top billionaire was worth of a hundred billion dollars!
This news caused an immediate sensation throughout the city!
Having such a high personal net worth was a hallmark of being at the top of the wealth rankings!
In the country, there were many groups with assets worth a hundred billion dollars, but those were corporate assets, not personal wealth!
So, this news directly caused a city-wide uproar, with countless eyes fixed on Crescent Investment Group, trying to uncover the identity of the top billionaire behind it.
Four days later, Crescent Investment Group officially launched its operations. Immediately, a stream of affluent businessmen and entrepreneurs arrived, eager to present their company's technologies or products in hopes of securing investment and collaboration.
However, it felt like their efforts vanished into thin air; none of them received a response from Crescent Investment Group.
They didn't even get to meet the general manager of the company; they were all received by consultants.
Strict and powerful—this was how everyone perceived Crescent Investment Group.
The whole city was abuzz!
Everyone was speculating about what Crescent Investment Group intended to do.
Just as everyone was discussing, a bombshell news story dropped!
Crescent Investment Group actively sought to cooperate with BK Pharmaceuticals to invest in the research and development of new drugs.
This was unprecedented and unbelievable.
Every entrepreneur in Lindwood City recognized the immense financial power and influence of Crescent Investment Group. Their investment in BK Pharmaceuticals would immediately dispel the recent turmoil surrounding the company.
Some even predicted that if BK Pharmaceuticals and Crescent Investment Group reached a cooperation, then in the future, BK Pharmaceuticals would undoubtedly become the giant pharmaceutical industry in this city!
So, many pharmaceutical companies began privately contacting BK Pharmaceuticals, expressing their willingness to invest.
Mary, in the ward, watched this series of reports, completely stunned.
She looked at William, who was still peeling an apple, and said happily, "William, is this true?"
William handed Mary the apple and said, "Of course it's true."
Mary took the apple, suddenly having a flash of insight.
Mary suddenly turned to William, asking seriously, "William, does Crescent Investment Group have anything to do with you?"
William was taken aback.
