Chapter 712 Bradley Gave the Shares to Daniel
At the Douglas Group, Jasmine was still handling company affairs when Ben walked in. "Ma'am, just as you predicted, Deborah is out."
Lily signed the understanding agreement and released Deborah.
Jasmine nodded. She had a rough idea of what Lily was planning.
"Lily must have used some means. Xavier is actually going to get a marriage certificate with her secretly." Ben also found it quite amazing.
After all, Xavierwas the only heir of the Powell family now; his status was not what it used to be.
Although they were secretly married, Jasmine always had Ben's people watching Xavier and Lily. Their trip to Kerea to get the marriage certificate couldn't be hidden from Jasmine.
Jasmine didn't speak, Lily must have struggled for a long time to make this decision.
Sophia was still watching Lily, trying to use her to disrupt the relationship between the three Cunningham brothers. Now it seemed that Lily didn't intend to be used by Sophia.
Sophia was probably going to go crazy soon.
At Sophia's place, Aleah was happily humming a song while cooking in the kitchen.
Since Sophia promised to make Richard marry her, Aleah was now completely devoted to Sophia.
"What's going on with Lily?" Deborah stormed in angrily, throwing Lily's photo on the table. "Do you know she's messing around with Xavier? Xavier is mine!"
Sophia was a bit surprised. "Lily has this ability? No wonder she hasn't contacted me to report her work recently."
Sophia wasn't worried because she had dirt on Lily, videos of her being repeatedly violated, and her sick grandfather.
"You better find a way to keep this woman away from Xavier!" Deborah warned, looking at Sophia.
Sophia snorted coldly. "Don't worry."
Deborah sat down angrily. "Now Edgar has fallen out with Nolan. I heard Edgar took Cordelia to Nolan's place. I don't know what Nolan did to anger Cordelia, but she threw a fit and temporarily removed Nolan from the company. Currently, Edward and Edgar are managing the Cunningham Group."
This was a good opportunity.
Nolan and Edgar had already fallen out, next was Edward. "Didn't you say Lily was messing around with Edward? Now is the time to reel him in."
Sophia squinted her eyes. "Got it."
Deborah snorted. "You better be efficient. Messiah doesn't have as good a temper as I do."
With that, Deborah got up and left.
Sophia picked up her phone and called Lily, but Lily didn't answer.
Sophia's face instantly darkened. Was Lily planning to resist cooperation?
In Kerea, after finishing the prenatal checkup, Xavier and Lily went to get their marriage certificate.
Xavier kept a stern face the whole time, but Lily couldn't stop smiling at the certificate.
Deborah wanted Xavier to marry her so badly, but she wouldn't get this marriage certificate before this child was born.
Xavier still had a soft spot in his heart. For example, his mother was a devout believer. So he wouldn't easily let her abort this child. If it were born, he wouldn't want it to be an illegitimate child.
Lily had planned this from the beginning.
"Are you satisfied?" Xavier asked coldly.
"It's just a certificate. It won't be made public, and no one will know we're married. You can do whatever you want, even marry Deborah. I won't sue you for bigamy," Lily said softly, looking a bit aggrieved. "I know I'm not worthy. I'll leave after giving birth."
Xavier wanted to get angry, but seeing Lily like that, he couldn't. "I have some matters to attend to. Go to the hotel and get some rest."
Xavier left, and Lily watched his back, smiling. If only he could die in a car accident.
Unfortunately, that's a small probability event.
She still had ten months to find a way to eliminate the hidden dangers before this child was born.
Since Deborah wanted Xavier so badly, she would use her to kill him.
Her phone kept vibrating, it was Sophia.
When Sophia called for the tenth time, Lily answered, "Hello?"
"Where have you been? How dare you not answer my calls?" Sophia scolded.
Lily chuckled. "Sophia, what are you talking about? I have personal freedom."
Hearing Lily's words, Sophia's voice grew colder. "Lily, I heard you're messing around with Xavier?"
Lily didn't deny it.
"You're quite capable." Sophia laughed. "I don't mind you hooking up with Xavier. But you should also reel in Edward, make him fall out with his other brothers and fight for control of the Cunningham Group. How's that going?"
"Edward loves me very much now. He'll give me anything I want," Lily said weakly.
"Good, now it's up to you. Don't disappoint me." Sophia was very pleased.
Lily hung up the phone, her eyes growing deeper.
Sophia held too many of her secrets. The Powell family was a family that valued its reputation as a conglomerate. If she wanted to secure her position after Xavier's death with this child, the first step was to eliminate Sophia and all those who might betray her past.
Then, she would cooperate with Jasmine and Ethan, letting them help her secure her position in the Powell family.
Finally, she would gradually take over the Powell family until it was completely in her hands.
From now on, Lily would be her own queen, not a woman dependent on a man.
"Sophia." Lily mused. "How can I make you die? Let me think."
At the Douglas Group, Jasmine led the meeting while Ethan attended via video conference, unable to be there in person. Jasmine made all the decisions on his behalf.
"This time, we must cooperate with the Powell family. If we lose this project again, we finished!"
"Exactly! Daniel has a good relationship with Xavier. Bringing him back would benefit the company."
People were still arguing and fighting over the cooperation with the Powell family.
"What right does he have to come back?" Jasmine asked coldly.
"Daniel is Chairman Howard's son. Even if there's no blood relation, he was raised for so many years, he should get a share of the stocks. Bradley has already agreed to give Daniel half of the shares," Someone spoke up.
Jasmine raised her eyebrows and clapped. "So you had this all planned out."
In the video, Ethan's gaze also turned cold. "Daniel doesn't deserve to stay in the Douglas family."
"Sir, the Douglas Group is in a critical situation now, you two should reconcile. His shares can't threaten you. So can't you do it for the company?"
The conference room door opened, and Mark walked in with Daniel and Bradley.
Jasmine frowned at Bradley, it seemed Mark and Daniel were indeed 'Messiah's' people.
That was why Bradley suddenly decided to give Daniel half of the shares.
