Chapter 796 Conspire
Lawrence's eyes were bloodshot as he looked Jeremy up and down with guilt. "Are you okay? Olivia said she heard on the phone that you were shot multiple times."
"I almost died," Jeremy nodded, trying to reassure him. "But look at me now, I'm fine, aren't I?"
"What happened? Where did you disappear to?" Lawrence asked, frowning deeply.
Jeremy turned to look out the window and recounted in detail how he fell off a cliff, was rescued by Adam, and spent over a month recovering on Azure Isle.
Lawrence clenched his fists. "That idiot Sean."
"He was tricked by Mars! When you took Winnie at the wedding, Mars and the Peterson Family were already plotting against the Rodriguez Group. They saw me as a threat and used Sean to steal the chip and frame me."
Jeremy continued, "Mars suddenly kidnapped Olivia and Mia, forcing me to leave the lab for half a day. That's when Sean stole the chip, and then everything went wrong. I was ambushed by hitmen hired by Mars at the seaside factory, driven into a dead end."
"Jeremy, I almost got you killed," Lawrence slammed his fist on the table, full of guilt. "You called me, asking me to come back and take charge because you couldn't handle it alone. I was careless because of Winnie."
Jeremy didn't comfort him, just smiled calmly. "It's all in the past, Lawrence!"
"Luckily, your uncle saved you. But how did he know you were in Trento City?"
Jeremy awkwardly brushed his short hair. "My uncle was sent by my mother."
"Wait, your uncle is?" Lawrence's tone was sharp.
Jeremy licked his lips. "Yes, he's Adam, the chairman of NexaCore Group."
Lawrence was undeniably shocked.
"No wonder when I collided with Mr. King's car on Camellia Mount, I thought he looked a bit like you. Later, at his housewarming party, I felt a sense of familiarity between you two. So, Jeremy, you're his nephew?"
Lawrence slowly sat down. "I knew the DeRoss Family in Lymington had connections both legal and illegal, but I didn't know your mother's side had ties to the presidential office. Adam is the top financier behind the president. Your background is impressive, and you've kept it well hidden."
"Not really," Jeremy felt embarrassed, his expression calm and reserved. "My mother married into the DeRoss Family and has always been low-key about her background. I only found out when I grew up that her family had connections to the presidential office, but she rarely contacted them."
"This time, she knew I was in danger, so she asked Adam to come to Trento City to look after me. Adam used to be at the presidential office. He moved to Camellia Mount in Trento City and bought property to investigate me."
"During that time, he believed the rumors spread by Mars and misunderstood that you betrayed me. The worst part was, I had temporary amnesia and almost let Adam take revenge on you."
"Fortunately, I regained my memory just in time when NexaCore Group was about to sign a contract, and I rushed back to Trento City."
Lawrence finally understood what Jeremy had been through.
His eyes were cold and guilty. They didn't express their gratitude or get emotional, but deep down, he was grateful to Jeremy.
In times of trouble, Jeremy still remembered to fight to come back and help him. He would never forget that.
Hiding his choked-up feelings, Lawrence's expression turned cold. "NexaCore Group needs to choose a partner, but don't rush it. Focus on getting better first."
"I'm already fine, and the heat toxin is cured." At this, Jeremy suddenly thought of Olivia's face.
Adam mentioned that Olivia helped cure him.
But he didn't remember it and didn't know where she got the medical skills to cure the toxin.
In any case, after finishing Lawrence's business, he would go back to Azure Isle to bring Olivia back.
Lawrence asked, "What is heat toxin?"
"I was bitten by a poisonous sea creature, which caused neurological issues and memory loss. After I regained my memory, I don't remember much of what happened over the past month. But it's not important."
"Lawrence, I convinced Adam to believe that you are innocent. I also made Adam realize that the Peterson Family and Rock are not good people. Now, the NexaCore Group partnership is secretly under my control, and Adam can't do anything about it."
"I want to give this partnership to you. As long as the Rodriguez Group adopts NexaCore Group's advanced technology, you will definitely overcome this crisis and make a strong comeback."
"Jeremy," Lawrence's body trembled, momentarily at a loss for words.
He felt incredibly fortunate.
He had thought it would take a lot of effort to make Adam see his capabilities and convince him to collaborate.
But he never expected that the heir to NexaCore Group would be Jeremy.
It was truly a case of family helping family.
With the support of NexaCore Group, Lawrence was confident he could turn things around. He might even seize the opportunity to bring down the top-ranked Peterson Family and the rapidly growing Rock.
A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he thought of many things.
Jeremy was very familiar with Lawrence's ruthless demeanor, knowing he was likely plotting something.
He smiled and leaned in, "I have NexaCore Group, and you have the skills. Let's plan how to quietly bring down the Peterson Group and Rock, and help the Rodriguez Group rise again."
"Lawrence, should I immediately sign over the technology to you and spread the word, letting all the companies in Trento City know that NexaCore Group has chosen you? These opportunistic people will surely want to collaborate with the Harrington Group again."
Lawrence pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
He let out a cold laugh, "What I want is to use the power of NexaCore Group to completely take down the Peterson Family. I have an idea, Jeremy. Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes!" Jeremy perked up, "You were clearly set up by Ronnie and Mars, leading to this situation. The Peterson Family's top position should be taken back from them!"
Lawrence, with a cold and ruthless demeanor, laid out his plan, "Then you should operate in the shadows and have Mr. King come forward to sign NexaCore Group's advanced technology first with the Peterson Group, and of course, also give some benefits to the Harrington Group."
"What?" Jeremy was completely puzzled, "Give the technology to the Peterson Family and Rock? Lawrence, what are you thinking?"
Lawrence gave him a calming look, his eyes cold, "The Peterson Group may be the top company in Veridiania right now, but it doesn't have its own brand. They accumulated wealth by exploiting the Rodriguez Group's interests."
"I've found out that the chip the Peterson Group presented last time wasn't actually owned by Ronnie. He just got the authorization from Fantasyville NexGen Innovations Company to sell the chip domestically and make a profit."
He continued, "The Peterson Group's other industries are only doing well in e-commerce. They don't have cutting-edge technology, and it would take at least a year or two to develop a talented team."
"That's why Ronnie is so eager to get NexaCore Group's technology, so they can develop new products. So, let's give them the partnership. First, let the Peterson Group and Rock invest two billion dollars."
Jeremy began to understand, "Lawrence, you want to gain huge benefits through clever means without any investment or capital?"
