"Indeed." Franklin Faulkner curled his lips into a smile and chid in, "The vast assets of the Faulkner Family should be inherited by you all."
After pausing for a mont, he continued, "Among the few in the Faulkner Family, I think you are the most qualified."
Garrett Faulkner was taken aback and looked at Franklin Faulkner, "Do you really think so?"
In the Faulkner Family, he was not very noticeable, and everyone always thought the other mbers were better. No one ever considered him.
But now, Franklin Faulkner’s words made him feel like a talented person who was finally appreciated by a discerning ntor.
"Of course, Gregory Faulkner is too arrogant, while Gideon Faulkner is sly and treacherous. In comparison, you are the most sincere, and everyone wants to do business with sincere people."
"Hahaha, it’s the first ti I’ve heard soone describe like that, but you’re not wrong!"
Garrett Faulkner raised his wine glass and clinked it with Franklin Faulkner’s.
Seeing Garrett Faulkner gradually being drawn in, Franklin Faulkner smiled and asked, "Recently, Eleanor Sterling seems to be quite favored in the Faulkner Family, right? Is she highly regarded? I heard she brought a bodyguard to stay at the Faulkner Family’s place, what’s that bodyguard’s background?"
Garrett Faulkner downed the wine in his glass and burped, "I don’t know; isn’t it normal for a woman to have soone around to protect her?"
"Have you heard them say anything?"
Garrett Faulkner pondered for a mont, "Not really, I can’t very well push in front of her."
Seeing there was no useful information, Franklin Faulkner couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed; however, his purpose today wasn’t really this, inquiring about the bodyguard was secondary.
"Co, let’s drink." He raised his glass and clinked it with Garrett Faulkner’s glass.
Garrett Faulkner took another sip.
"To be honest, I asked you out today because I want to discuss a collaboration with you."
Garrett Faulkner’s eyes flashed, "Collaboration?"
"Exactly, you help , and I’ll help you beco the Family Head of the Faulkner Family, how does that sound?"
Franklin Faulkner began to carefully lure him, trying to use the sa tactics he used against Gregory Faulkner and Gideon Faulkner to draw Garrett Faulkner into this ssy struggle.
"Are you really confident?"
"Of course, your two brothers are already working with . I just think their abilities are not as good as yours. A good minister chooses a wise ruler, and you are that wise ruler."
Garrett Faulkner’s eyes flickered, "Alright then, let’s cooperate!"
Franklin Faulkner slowly curled his lips into a smile, extending his hand, "Then let’s wish for a successful collaboration."
"To a successful collaboration."
"I wonder what you want to do?" Garrett Faulkner asked in confusion.
"It’s nothing major, just keep an eye on Eleanor Sterling and that bodyguard of hers, and report to if there’s any unusual movent. When the Family Head eting cos, I’ll push you forward."
"Sure thing, I will definitely keep a good watch on Eleanor Sterling and tell you all the news I gather."
"Hmm, much appreciated," Franklin Faulkner nodded in satisfaction.
"It’s getting late, I’ll head back first."
"Take care."
Garrett Faulkner stood up and sat in his private car.
After the car door closed, he spat, "Does this Mr. Faulkner take for a fool? Using such an excuse to flatter , huh, thinking I’d believe it?"
He’s not clueless; after all these years in the Faulkner Family, doesn’t he know his own weight?
He doesn’t want to vie for the Family Head position anymore, even if he tries, he can’t compete with his two brothers, but he can choose his stance!
The old man couldn’t have left no moves behind; only by following the old man’s intentions does he have a chance to laugh last.
By then, with the position of the new Family Head, things will be smooth sailing, definitely much better than failing at taking the Family Head position.
Garrett Faulkner decided to feign cooperation with this Mr. Faulkner while selling information to Eleanor Sterling.
