CHAPTER 861: CHAPTER 861: TURNING AGAINST EACH OTHER

In the room, Gregory Faulkner’s eyes suddenly widened, his face full of anger, as he said, "What did you say? He really is in contact with the second one and wants to push him up?"

The assistant nodded in confirmation.

Gregory Faulkner swept everything off the table onto the floor, his face contorted with rage.

"I knew it wouldn’t be that simple! So, he even prepared several backup plans, intending to step on me to elevate the second one, using me as a stepping stone."

Gregory Faulkner had always thought that Franklin Faulkner was cooperating with him, helping him to enter the Faulkner Family so that he could eventually rise to power.

Now, hearing this news, he realized he had been busy for nothing, merely sewing wedding clothes for others, and how could he not be angry?

The assistant stood aside, not daring to leave, afraid of being caught up in Gregory Faulkner’s fury.

After venting his anger, Gregory Faulkner gradually calmed down, sitting in his chair, panting hard.

Since Franklin Faulkner won’t play fair, then neither will he.

He will not allow himself to be used for nothing.

Franklin wants to promote the second one, but Gregory Faulkner will not watch it happen indifferently.

He will continue to help Franklin Faulkner, but only let him in alone. As for Franklin’s people, Gregory chuckled coldly; they can stay outside. At that time, when Franklin is left all alone, they’ll see who ultimately wins.

Meanwhile, Gideon Faulkner was equally furious.

He too had received word that Franklin Faulkner had infiltrated the Faulkner Family with Gregory Faulkner’s help.

"Good old Mr. Franklin, we agreed to cooperate, and you accepted my daughter, yet you played me with this two-faced trick!"

He sent someone over, thinking he could control Franklin Faulkner, but ended up suffering a loss.

In the end, Franklin still wanted to help Gregory Faulkner.

He thought he had won him over to stand on his side, but unexpectedly, Franklin turned around and allied with Gregory Faulkner instead.

"I knew there was something off when he kept refusing the little benefits I offered; turns out he was loyal to his former master."

Gideon Faulkner’s face turned from white to black with anger.

"You may leave now."

The assistant nodded and left.

Only then did Gideon Faulkner sit back on the sofa, contemplating how to properly take revenge on Franklin Faulkner for playing him.

Since Gregory Faulkner is merciless, then he cannot be blamed for being unjust.

Gideon Faulkner summoned someone and instructed them to spread the news that Gregory Faulkner was conspiring with outsiders to seize the Faulkner Family’s property.

At that moment, Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner also received the news.

Eleanor looked at Alaric and asked, "I heard that Gideon Faulkner revealed the collaboration between Gregory Faulkner and Franklin Faulkner. What do you think about this?"

Alaric squinted his eyes upon hearing this, revealing a calculating glint, and his smile grew deeper.

"Give him a hand; let this news spread. Tomorrow, when they start fighting each other, they’ll definitely expose each other’s secrets. It will be quite entertaining."

Eleanor chuckled, "Aren’t we being a bit unscrupulous doing this?"

They watched the two engage in an internal struggle effortlessly, sitting back and reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.

Alaric reached out and hugged her tightly, "There’s nothing unscrupulous about it; their motives aren’t pure. We’re just tidying up the Faulkner Family."

Eleanor, not one to be soft-hearted, only brought it up in jest. Those who hide in the shadows against them must all be dealt with, otherwise, their future would never be peaceful.
