Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1343 Guarding VIC Group

Andrew hung his head, feeling pretty down and at a loss for words. Just then, the sound of a car pulling up outside caught his attention. He glanced back, quickly pulling himself together. "Silas, Ryan's here. I'll walk you to the car," he said. "Alright," Silas nodded. "You go on ahead. I brought some folks with me."

Since Raymond passed away, the bodyguards and old servants who once looked after him now took care of Silas. But Silas had cut down most of the staff, sending them to help Micah and keeping just a few for himself. He figured he didn't need that many people fussing over him. Still, Micah respected him a lot and made sure he got the same level of care as Raymond did.

Andrew walked Silas to the waiting car, handed him off to Ethan, and watched them drive away before heading back to greet Ryan. As Ryan stepped out of his car, he noticed Silas's vehicle leaving and felt a wave of anxiety. He grabbed Andrew's arm and asked quietly, "Mr. Clemens called me here. Is something up?"

For years, no matter how big the issue, Micah always met him at the office or somewhere else. This was the first time he invited him to his home, so Ryan couldn't help but feel a bit on edge.

"You'll replace out soon," Andrew said respectfully. "This way, please."

Ryan followed Andrew to the study, where Rebecca had already swapped out the teapot.

Micah was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, looking over some documents. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and smiled at Ryan. "Ryan, welcome!"

"Mr. Clemens," Ryan greeted, feeling a bit uneasy, "What's the occasion? Why did you call me to your house all of a sudden?"

"Have a seat," Micah gestured to the sofa opposite him. Rebecca poured tea for both men and then left the room, leaving a calm but tense atmosphere. Ryan was about to pick up his cup when he noticed a document on the table. His unease grew.

"This is for you," Micah said, handing over the document. "Take a look."

Ryan set the teacup aside, put on his glasses, and started reading. His expression quickly turned to shock. "Mr. Clemens, what are you doing? You're so young. Why are you making a will? And you're asking me to take over your position and manage VIC Group? This..."

Before Ryan could finish, Micah gently cut him off. "Read it carefully," he said. "It states that if something happens to me, you'll take over my position and manage VIC Group. Silas will still oversee the headquarters in Country F, and you'll assist him."

"What is going on?" Ryan was completely flustered. "The Clemens Group is stable, and your career is going great. Why make a will now?"

"Just in case," Micah replied nonchalantly. "Life's unpredictable; who knows what'll happen tomorrow."

"But..." Ryan started to argue but was cut off again.

"Look at the document carefully and see if you have any objections," Micah interrupted. "If you do, Anthony can still make changes. If not, I'll finalize it."

"This..." Ryan hesitated, still uneasy and suspecting there was more to Micah's decision. But he knew better than to push for answers when Micah wasn't willing to share. Unlike Silas, who had a lifetime of personal connection to the Clemens family, Ryan's relationship with Micah was strictly professional.

"Alright, I'll take a look," Ryan agreed, pushing his doubts aside and focusing on the document.

Just then, the attendant led Anthony in. Anthony greeted Micah and Ryan with a bow and started taking notes on any necessary changes to the document.

Micah leisurely sipped his tea, patiently waiting for Ryan.

After a while, Ryan finished reading the document and said solemnly, "I've read it. I have no issues with it, but the terms seem too generous. I've only managed the VIC Group on your behalf for ten years, yet you're giving me ten percent of the shares. I feel unworthy of them. Even without these shares, I'd still do my best to protect VIC Group."
