This is probably the most assertive Ben Ziegler has been since joining Henry Jennings.
He’s truly afraid that sothing will happen to Yvette Aston...
Jayden Grant’s face was severely grim, and he sneered sarcastically. "To get Assistant Ziegler so worked up, you must be very satisfied with her."
"Pah." Ben Ziegler pushed aside the person next to him and sat up straight. "I want to see Old Master Jennings."
"Naturally, Old Master Jennings won’t see you. Until the evening gala’s over, Assistant Ziegler will have to patiently stay in the car."
Jayden Grant adjusted his clothes, ready to get out of the car.
"Aren’t you afraid President Jennings will find out!" Ben Ziegler looked at Jayden Grant.
"It was Old Master Jennings’ idea; I’m just on my way. Assistant Ziegler, what could Henry Jennings do to his own grandfather?" Jayden Grant chuckled as he got out of the car.
Ben Ziegler knew those blocking him were Old Master Jennings’ people.
Jayden Grant indeed didn’t have the guts or ability to stop Henry Jennings’ special assistant.
...
Hospital.
Christopher Carter was pacing anxiously.
"Mr. Grant, the evening gala’s about to begin, you’d better go."
The business gala is not rely a banquet; it’s a hub for networking and resource exchange.
Not only do big luxury brand representatives attend the gala, but also top celebrities and prominent figures from various fields.
Ethan Grant, as a leader among leaders, naturally draws a lot of attention.
If he doesn’t attend, it will greatly impact the Grant Group.
"Mr. Grant, I’ll keep an eye on things here. Yvette Aston won’t have any issues; it’s just a ploy. She..."
"Why don’t you try slitting your own neck?" Ethan Grant interrupted coldly.
Christopher Carter was taken aback, looking at Ethan Grant.
Ethan Grant... seems serious, is he really worried about Yvette Aston?
The most horrifying part is that Ethan Grant is covered in Yvette Aston’s blood. He hasn’t closed his eyes or changed clothes since the early hours.
It’s known... Ethan Grant not only has a cleanliness obsession but absolutely cannot touch other people’s blood.
But Ethan Grant seems entirely unbothered.
"Mr. Grant..."
"I’ve already said, don’t wrongly accuse people without evidence." Ethan Grant leaned against the chair, rubbing his forehead.
"Mr. Grant... it was the Bell Family and Young Master Jayden who took her from Henry Jennings’ place last night and locked her in an abandoned factory in the suburbs. I checked, there were ten bodyguards that night... Their task was to target Yvette Aston, record videos and photos to threaten her into dropping the case."
Christopher Carter averted his gaze, his own face turning pale with anger.
Ethan Grant gave Christopher Carter a glance. "Jayden went to the gala?"
"Yes..." Christopher Carter nodded.
"Inform the hospital, if she wakes, call anyti." Ethan Grant rose, leaving with a heavy mood.
Christopher Carter took a cold breath, secretly smacked himself over the ears, regretting his loose tongue.
Ethan Grant’s stance indicates Jayden’s in trouble.
...
At the gala.
Henry Jennings frowned as he glanced at his phone; where did Ben Ziegler go?
Feeling uneasy, Henry Jennings went to the restroom to call Yvette Aston, but she didn’t answer.
His face darkened, and Henry Jennings exited the restroom, looking at the other assistants. "Find Ben Ziegler and have him see ."
"President Jennings, Mr. Grant is here."
Most attendees were waiting for Ethan Grant, as Henry Jennings from Montville and Ethan Grant from ridia were considered two mountains in the business world.
"Mr. Grant, I heard you’ve been in Montville for a while."
At the entrance, top female celebrities were already approaching to chat.
Ethan Grant’s face was unsightly; he changed into a suit, and his impeccably handso face drew people like a magnet.
Such a man, even entering the entertainnt industry, would be a top star.
"Mr. Grant is late; was the hotel too comfortable?" Henry Jennings approached, chuckling as he asked.
Ethan Grant’s gaze fell on Jayden Grant not far away. He ignored Henry Jennings and walked straight over.
To Henry Jennings, he had already failed by not protecting Yvette Aston.
Henry Jennings frowned slightly. "Did Ethan Grant take the wrong dicine?"
The secretary softly spoke from behind. "President Jennings, it seems sothing’s off."
"Bang!" A muffled sound.
Everyone stared at Ethan Grant in shock.
Fortunately, the business venue didn’t allow journalists inside.
Ethan Grant grabbed Jayden Grant’s collar and landed a punch.
Henry Jennings frowned slightly. What did Jayden do to provoke Ethan Grant into such madness? To the point of disregarding his image?
This is the business gala, Ethan Grant hitting his own brother is a family affair, should family matters be aired publicly? Clearly, this is to make it impossible for Jayden to blend into the business circle.
Jayden Grant looked at Ethan Grant in shock. "Bro..."
Ethan Grant pointed at Jayden Grant. "You’re an adult; you must take responsibility for your actions."
Jayden Grant’s heart skipped a beat. "What do you an..."
"Go ask the police." Ethan Grant pushed Jayden Grant away.
Jayden Grant took a deep breath; could it be... sothing happened to Yvette Aston?
Impossible, he had instructed them last night not to injure Yvette Aston, no fatalities.
"Bro... what happened." Jayden Grant was sowhat panicked.
Others were hesitant to approach, unsure of what was going on with the Grants.
"Mr. Jayden Grant, co with us and cooperate in an investigation. We suspect you’re involved in an illegal detention and hiring thugs to cause harm." The police arrived and took Jayden Grant away.
Jayden Grant’s face turned black.
This is the business gala!
Being taken away by the police here clearly aims to ruin him!
"Mr. Grant... isn’t this a bit excessive?" Christopher Carter followed Ethan Grant closely. "He’s still a Grant, your brother, if Mr. Grant finds out..."
Ethan Grant snorted coldly. "Reap what you sow."
Jayden Grant adjusted his clothes, smiling calmly. "I believe there’s so misunderstanding here."
Having said that, he voluntarily walked with the police.
He absolutely won’t let Ethan Grant succeed.
Hoping to ruin him this way, completely cutting off his chances to compete for the Grant Group inheritance? Impossible!
"Ethan, did sothing happen to Jayden?" Soone gathered courage to ask.
Elders also ca forward inquiring.
Ethan Grant spoke lightly. "Letting everyone see a joke, Jayden is spoiled by the family, sowhat reckless."
With Ethan Grant saying so, everyone understood, tacitly choosing not to ask further.
One Ethan Grant in the Grant Family was enough; Jayden Grant was the son born to Ethan Grant’s stepmother.
Before this stepmother married into the Grant Family, Jayden Grant was illegitimate.
Rumors circulate in ridia that Ethan Grant’s mother was killed by Jayden Grant’s mother.
Everyone knew these two brothers pretended harmony but hid discord.
Unfortunately, Ethan Grant’s aptitude was too strong; Jayden Grant was forever overshadowed. If any incident arises, he’ll be unable to shake Ethan Grant throughout his life.
Christopher Carter kept following Ethan Grant, palms slightly sweaty.
Ethan Grant, known for decisive actions, had many ways to deal with Jayden Grant, yet opted for the harshest.
Yvette Aston’s incident was rely a trigger; Ethan Grant clearly wanted to use this chance to show everyone in the business circle who secretly aligned with Jayden, who was the true master of the Grant Group.
Ruthless, still their Mr. Grant was ruthless.
Christopher Carter inexplicably worried for Yvette Aston, afraid she would beco a pawn in Ethan Grant’s maneuvers against Jayden Grant and his mother.
