Chapter 385 That Person Has Appeared
Paige gritted her teeth and said. "Didn't I already have all of Andrew's people replaced? How could someone still send out this kind of invitation notice?"
The fact that such an important invitation notice from the Universe Group, issued in the name of CEO Paige, was sent out without her knowledge, made her think that only the former CEO Andrew could have caused the trouble.
Pearl said, "I've already had someone investigate who did it. We should have an answer soon."
Paige said, "Cancel the banquet immediately!"
Margaret was still under Andrew's control, and this banquet was clearly part of Andrew's meticulous plan. His intentions were obvious.
He wanted to use this banquet to gather all the elites and even the two major families together, and then publicly expose Paige's identity.
Previously, Andrew had threatened her with Margaret's life as a small warning, but the real conspiracy was here.
Pearl said, "Ms. Ellison, it might be too late now. Most of the invitations have already been confirmed, including those from the two major families. There's only one way. We need to turn this banquet into our own. If we can prevent Andrew from appearing at the banquet, we'll be safe."
Paige quickly weighed the best solution to this problem.
Canceling the banquet now would certainly lead to a lot of speculation from the outside world, but holding it as planned would also be very risky.
Paige found herself in a dilemma.
Raymond walked up and said. "I didn't receive this invitation?"
This meant that Andrew had deliberately not invited him.
As Raymond said this, Louis walked over with his phone. "Did something important happen at the Universe Group? I received an invitation without hearing anything about it."
As soon as Louis finished speaking, Raymond and Paige turned to look at him.
It turned out that Andrew hadn't left out the Carnegie family; he had sent the invitation directly to Louis, thinking he was the current head of the family.
This was a clear sign that Andrew didn't consider Raymond the head of the Carnegie family.
Paige said expressionlessly, "The invitation wasn't sent by me; it's Andrew's plot."
Louis immediately became tense. When he first saw the invitation, he thought it was part of Paige's plan to deal with Andrew, but he didn't expect it to be Andrew's scheme to frame Paige.
It seemed that ever since Luna's death, nothing had gone smoothly for Paige.
No, Paige's life had never been smooth since the controversy over her background began.
Louis stood there awkwardly with his phone.
Since this was Andrew's plot, Margaret would definitely be involved.
The first thing that came to Louis's mind was that this banquet absolutely couldn't happen, at least not according to Andrew's wishes.
Louis asked, "This is an invitation from the Universe Group. Can't it be canceled now? You're the CEO of the Universe Group; it shouldn't be too difficult to cancel it, right?"
Paige said, "Do you know what the reputation of the Universe Group is? Everyone has already confirmed their attendance, including the Hamilton family and the Russell family. Do you know what that means?"
Louis wasn't stupid. Recently, as he took over Bradley's real work, he gained a new understanding of the world's dynamics.
So when he heard that even the Hamilton family and the Russell family were attending, he understood what canceling would mean.
He also understood why the guests had confirmed their attendance so quickly.
Louis asked nervously, "Could it be that Andrew has the support of the Hamilton family and the Russell family?"
Paige glanced at Louis and said. "You're not entirely stupid!"
Now, it was Paige's turn to have a headache.
Louis said, "Does this mean Margaret is really going to be killed this time?"
Although Margaret had a grudge against Paige, Paige would never actually kill her, no matter how she retaliated.
But if Margaret fell into someone else's hands, she could really die.
Paige said, "Pearl, move up the plan."
Originally, she had wanted to delay a bit, but now it was impossible.
Pearl immediately responded, "I'll confirm with Julian right now."
Paige sat down on the nearby sofa, holding her head. Raymond followed and comforted her. "If we really can't stop it, then let me expose myself and officially start the battle with them."
Paige said, "We haven't found the secret funds yet. Our leverage is still far from enough. Did you hear? Emory said that over the years, the Russell family has been involved in cutting-edge technology and medical research. In fact, the Russell family has been involved in medical research for many years, not just recently. They did many cruel things during the war."
Because Paige was also in this industry, she knew this history better than anyone else.
Emory's recent invitation made Paige realize that after decades of development, the Russell family's progress in this area was terrifying.
She knew how much wealth these projects could bring.
Because of this, Paige felt that her own accumulation was far from enough.
Raymond smiled and pulled Paige into his arms. "You never cared about the shares of Hawke Corporation, so how do you know I don't have the capability?"
Paige looked up sharply into Raymond's eyes. "But you've hidden yourself for so many years, haven't you been waiting to find the secret funds to feel confident?"
Raymond smiled lightly and said, "We don't have secret funds, and neither do they. They have capabilities, and so do I. Over the years, while pretending to treat my leg injury, I've multiplied the Carnegie family's wealth several times over. If they want to focus and pressure you, dragging you into this war first, then I'll escalate the situation so that no one can stay out of it! It's time to settle old scores!"
As Paige was speaking, Pearl suddenly ran down the stairs with her phone. "Ms. Ellison, that person has appeared!"
