Chapter 790 How Could It Be Him?
That afternoon, Antonio had James prepare all the necessary documents. The seals and important password for the safe he had came in handy.
He also transferred all his shares to Brian.
Overnight, the Valencia Group underwent a dramatic change.
Early the next morning, James released a company statement and held a press conference with Brian to make the matter public.
The press conference caused a huge uproar in the entire Capital City.
Although Brian was Sarah and Antonio's son, in the eyes of the public, he was just a somewhat clever kid who ultimately knew nothing. Handing the company over to him was like a joke.
The outside world naturally didn't know that Benjamin was actually Antonio.
They had initially admired and felt sorry for Sarah, thinking that after her husband's death, she had managed to hold up the company while pregnant.
But now, they just thought Sarah had lost her mind.
She was heavily pregnant and didn't want to manage the company anymore. If she didn't want to manage it, fine, but at least hand it over to a professional manager. Now, handing it over to Brian, what was she thinking?
The internet was abuzz with all sorts of comments.
Most people thought the Valencia Group was doomed.
These public opinions inevitably spread to the company. The shareholders were already discontented, and seeing such comments made them even more restless.
James's phone was almost blowing up with calls from shareholders or investors who had somehow found his number.
Sarah and Antonio, upon hearing the news, just smiled calmly.
They even discussed it with interest.
Sarah said, "What do you think their reaction would be if they knew Brian was the owner of BrianTech Solutions Inc.?"
Antonio thought for a moment, "They'd probably be shocked."
Even as his father, when Antonio first found out that Brian was running a company, the sense of disbelief and pride was indescribable.
Therefore, he had no worries about handing the Valencia Group over to him.
However, Antonio didn't want to keep living under the identity of Benjamin Harrington.
He thought that once the chip was removed, he would definitely return to his original identity.
So, he had James discreetly inform some of the senior, reliable members of the Valencia Family.
He let them know that Antonio might not be dead and that the transfer of shares to Brian was all part of Antonio's plan.
The senior members were ecstatic upon hearing this. They didn't trust Brian, but they still trusted Antonio.
With hints from James, the chief assistant, they immediately began to stabilize the morale within the group.
This way, the employees were mostly reassured.
However, some people were infuriated upon hearing this news.
In the Capital City prison, during lunchtime, the cafeteria TV would always play the midday news.
Today was no exception, and the screen was showing the major upheaval in the Valencia Group.
The head of the Valencia Group had handed over a listed company to six-year-old Brian.
Amid the discussions in the cafeteria, an elderly man with a grim expression stared at the photo on the screen, wishing he could kill the people in it with his gaze!
This man was Antonio's nominal grandfather, Philip.
Philip had always wanted Antonio to marry Serene, but Antonio refused, his heart only for Sarah and those children.
Antonio wasn't even a real Valencia, and Philip had long despised this ambitious grandson.
Only Ryan was the true heir of the Valencia Family.
Philip thought of his grandson, Francis Valencia, who had died young, and tears welled up in his eyes. It was all because of Antonio.
That accident was clearly aimed at Antonio, because his impulsive actions had provoked enemies to tamper with the car.
If only Antonio had died quietly. But Francis, being too kind-hearted, somehow ended up taking Antonio's place in the car and died.
So, Philip hated Antonio and forced him to raise Francis's son, Ryan, as his own.
But because Sarah returned with her children, Ryan was no longer the sole heir of the Valencia Family! How could Philip not hate?
He had hired someone to kill them, but his plan was exposed, and Antonio had him thrown in prison!
Philip was already barely surviving in prison, his health failing. Seeing this news made him so angry that he coughed for a long time before calming down.
He cursed in his head, 'Sarah! That damned woman, isn't she trying to ruin the Valencia Group?'
Philip knew about Antonio being "blown up" and had harbored resentment for a long time, thinking the Valencia Group would fall into the hands of an outsider, Sarah!
And now, Sarah had handed the company over to Brian to play with in just half a year!
He wanted to break out of prison and kill Sarah and her children!
But ultimately, if he hadn't adopted Antonio, none of this would have happened, and Francis wouldn't have died!
As a result, he raised Antonio, who stole their company and lived a carefree life outside, while he suffered in prison, along with his poor great-grandson, Ryan.
Thinking of this, Philip's hatred grew rapidly.
His emotions were so intense that he couldn't breathe and almost fainted.
The prison doctor nearby quickly came to help.
Philip, in a daze, saw a doctor, his chest heaving.
This was how he had been living for the past couple of years.
No one knew better than him what this doctor represented. After the injection, he was in a daze for the rest of the day.
Maybe he really could only wait to die like this, but Philip was unwilling.
The doctor's grim gaze occasionally fell on the weak Philip, pushing him out. But this time, they didn't go to the usual ward but stopped at the door of a very secluded room.
The doctor knocked three times, respectfully.
A deep male voice came from inside, and he pushed the door open.
It took Philip a while to recover. After his breathing steadied, he felt something was off.
Why wasn't there an injection today? And where was this place?
He struggled to sit up, seeing walls on all sides. The simple room was filled only with the sound of the TV news, and the doctor had already turned and left.
Not far away, a man in a suit sat.
The man exuded a terrifying aura, the light from above casting his face in a mix of light and shadow, like a messenger from hell torn from the darkness.
Philip stared at him, gradually recognizing the face.
'Oh no, how could it be him?' He thought to himself.
