Chapter 634 Teasing
Maggie understood what Fiorello meant; he was worried that the person who poisoned him before might poison Mark again.
Maggie also took it seriously and said, "When my dad went back to London, I told him about this. If he could let go and hand the company over to those two siblings to manage, and just take some dividends himself, nothing would happen. But he didn't want to relinquish power. He said he handed it over to me because of you."
Now, the Jackson Group is complicated. Mark wants to seize power, but it's probably not easy. During Mark's illness, Melissa and Timothy will definitely speed up their steps to establish themselves. It's obvious that there are hardly any board members left who still support Mark.
Maggie has Fiorello's support, which gives her the ability to compete with Timothy and Melissa.
Fiorello nodded, "The Jackson Group is now valued at over a billion dollars. After Timothy took over, he pursued a new route, packaging new media short videos, and signed a lot of internet celebrities to do live streaming sales. This is more profitable than the winery and tourism industry, making the Jackson Group's market value continuously rise."
"Timothy isn't that smart; this must be Melissa's idea," Maggie said. "From the first time I saw Melissa, I knew she wasn't simple. If it weren't for her previous health issues and the fact that she's a girl, my dad would have definitely groomed her as the heir. She indeed has a talent for business."
Previously, when Maggie was setting up a stall at the night market, she also thought about doing live streaming, but her strength alone was too small. Forming an industrial chain without a team is impossible.
The Jackson Group has developed to this point, with excellent connections and cash flow. As long as they can spot business opportunities, they can make a lot of money.
Clearly, Melissa has a keen sense of spotting business opportunities.
Soon, the waiter served all the dishes. While chatting with Maggie, Fiorello was also carefully picking out fish bones for her.
Fiorello calmly said, "You said before that you didn't want to get involved with the Jackson Group. Now that you're pregnant, I also don't want you to get involved. It's just over a billion dollars. My estate is left to you; you don't need to get involved."
Maggie laughed, "Your estate is yours, not in my name."
"I've already changed everything to your name," Fiorello said seriously. "All my stocks, funds, properties, shares, and cars are in your name now. I'm just working for you, and you just need to give me some pocket money every month."
Maggie was stunned, "Fiorello, are you joking with me?"
"Not a word of a lie," Fiorello suddenly smiled. "So, you have to pay for this meal later. I'm out of money."
Maggie laughed, "I think you just want to trick me into paying. Fine, I'll pay for this meal."
Fiorello, afraid of scaring her, laughed, "You saw right through me."
Maggie didn't take it seriously. Fiorello had said such things before, and she had said she didn't want his things. But this time, Fiorello wasn't lying; it was all true. Everything under his name was Maggie's, but Maggie only found out later.
In a restaurant, Gregory had booked the entire place and prepared a lavish dinner with his son, Sharon.
He was playing with his son while checking the time.
It was already eight o'clock, and Jenny hadn't arrived yet, an hour late.
Gregory wasn't in a hurry; this was typical of Jenny.
At the bar, Brian, disguised as a bartender, was monitoring Gregory's every move.
At 8:10, Jenny arrived. As soon as she entered Brian's line of sight, his expression changed slightly.
Brian recognized her as Christina, the woman who had deceived Holden.
Brian kept his composure and didn't make any moves. Seeing Jenny walk towards Gregory, and thinking about Holden being deceived, Brian guessed, could Gregory really be the mastermind?
Brian took out his phone and sent a message to Fiorello: [Fiorello, the woman Gregory is meeting is named Christina, the same woman who deceived Holden last time.]
