On the other side.
In the Collier family's villa in York.
Albert Collier had just received Christian Zook's invitation.
"Cielo, co here!"
After hesitating for a mont, Albert shouted upstairs.
Cielo Collier rushed downstairs after hearing Albert call for him. He then asked Albert respectfully, "Father, what's the matter?"
"Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of Christian Zook, the head of the Zook family. I don't have ti to attend, so you and Aida go in my stead."
Albert said softly.
"Alright, I understand…"
Cielo nodded gently and took the invitation letter.
"Alright, go do your work!"
Albert waved at Cielo.
After hesitating for a mont, Cielo asked Albert softly, "Dad, where's Aida?"
"She's discussing a project with soone outside. You should learn from your sister. You shouldn't be at ho all the ti. Now, most of the Collier family's business is being managed by your sister. If I'm not around in the future and your sister gets married, can you manage the Collier family's business?"
Albert said lightly.
"Dad, I want to learn from Aida, but sotis she doesn't even bring along. I can't do anything about it!"
Cielo said helplessly.
"..."
Albert hesitated for a couple of seconds when he heard Cielo's words. Then, he said in a low voice, "I'll tell your sister about this when she cos back…"
"Alright…"
Cielo nodded gently and returned to his room.
Cielo had just entered the room when his mother followed him in.
Cielo's mother was called Shereen Stevens. Although this woman was not in charge of any business in the Collier family, she was very scheming. Otherwise, she would never have gotten rid of Aida's mother and taken her spot.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Cielo looked at Shereen and asked.
"Did you hear what your father said just now?"
Shereen asked Cielo with a frown.
"Yeah, what about it? I'm not as capable as Aida, and the company's matters are all managed by Aida. She is constantly on guard against , so I have no chance to interfere in the company's matters. Do you think I want to stay at ho all the ti?"
Cielo said helplessly.
"There are so things that I didn't intend to tell you, but since things have already co to this, I have to remind you of sothing!"
Shereen whispered.
"Mom, what is it?"
Cielo frowned and asked in confusion.
"Aida is a very smart woman. She's so smart that it's scary. Besides, you know how good she is in doing business. Now, most of our family's businesses are under her control. When your father steps down one day, your grandfather might choose her to inherit your father's position."
Shereen said in a low voice.
"Mom, that's preposterous. Aida is a woman. How could she beco the head of the Collier family?"
Cielo said disdainfully.
"I thought the sa way you did at the beginning. But now, the situation is different. Your father wants Aida to marry Juan Goz. He is the eldest son of Goz family. If they really get together, Aida will get Goz family's help. In the end, she will try her best to beco the head of the Collier family. Once she becos the head of Collier family, our positions in the Collier family will be in danger!"
Shereen said with a frown.
"..."
Cielo fell silent after hearing Shereen's words.
It was true that Aida did not have the ability to beco the head of the Collier family. However, Aida had no choice but to be with Juan, which ant that there was the Goz family behind Aida.
The Goz family would definitely find a way to make Aida the head of the Collier family, which would make it easier for the Goz family to swallow the Collier family.
"Mom, what do you an by that?"
Cielo seed to have realized the danger he was in and hurriedly asked Shereen.
"I originally thought that Aida would be fine as long as she got married, but I never thought that she would marry into the Goz family. The Goz family's ambitions are much greater than Aida's, so no matter what, we can't let this marriage succeed. The best way is to get rid of her!"
Shereen said coldly.
"Mom, isn't it a little too risky to get rid of Aida?"
Cielo asked in a low voice.
"If you don't get rid of Aida now, do you think you'll still have a chance to get rid of her after she marries Juan?"
Shereen paused for a mont before continuing, "If you don't get rid of Aida now, then she will definitely get rid of you!"
"..."
Cielo lowered his head and said nothing.
"Think about it yourself!"
Shereen said helplessly.
"I don't need to think about it. I think you're right. I have to get rid of Aida to secure my position, but I don't know what to do now. If she dies, I'll beco the biggest suspect!"
Cielo said with so distress.
"Didn't your dad ask you to go to Yarlford with Aida? I heard that our family has an enemy called Connor McDonald. You can take this opportunity to get rid of Aida and then fra Connor. Wouldn't things be much simpler this way?"
Shereen had already planned everything out.
"That's right, why didn't I think of that!"
Cielo was a little excited.
"Son, this is all I can do for you now. The rest is up to you. If you can get rid of Aida this ti, then your position in the Collier family will be safe. After all, there is no other heir besides you. If you fail, then both of us may be in danger!"
Shereen said earnestly.
"Mom, don't worry. Aida doesn't know that I am thinking about doing sothing to her, so it's easy for to get rid of her!"
Cielo said confidently.
"I hope you can succeed this ti!"
Shereen let out a long sigh of relief, then turned around and left Cielo's room.
anwhile, Cielo began to think about how he should act against Aida without arousing any suspicion and also fra Connor.
