Chapter 450 Everything Was Just Speculation

I stood still in the same spot for a moment, stunned by Aaron's words. It took me a long time to gather my thoughts before tentatively speaking up

"So... your father let you enter Morris Group, not because he started to care about family ties, but just weighing the pros and cons?"

"Yes, he was making plans for his family business. Although no one in his family knew about it, there were already rumors circulating in the company. When his first medical examination report came out, the shareholders started speculating about who the next chairman would be. In fact, they had never doubted that

Joe would take over until I appeared, causing many of Joe's supporters to waver."

In Aaron's affirmative gaze, the image of old Morris in my heart plummeted once again

I didn't understand what Aaron meant by "plan" at first, until I heard what he said, and suddenly realized that perhaps old Morris was reluctant to give up his power, so he hid the fact that he might be ill from his family, and then called his second son back, allowing the two children to compete for the position of heir, while also making them restrain each other

The Morris Group was founded by my father, and he became the chairman at an early stage

At the pinnacle of this family business pyramid, even his cousins and relatives had to obey him

He was like the creator of that world, possessing absolute authority and power. Even a single nail

of the company had to be approved by him before it could be hammered into the wall

Aaron leaned back on the sofa absentmindedly, his fingers twirling his brow, as if reluctantly acknowledging his father's scheming, feeling both indignant and helpless

A person like him would not tolerate the loss of power, even if the successor 1s his own son, he would feel jealous. If I'm not mistaken, he started to worry when he heard the rumors from the shareholders. If his illness is spread, would Joe sideline him as a father and quickly develop his own influence within the company

So Mr. Morris tried his best, even using force if necessary, to keep Aaron, who was about to return to Germany

It seems that his kindness towards me and his

enthusiasm towards Molly and Jasmin in the past few days were only because I accidentally helped him, giving him the opportunity to bring Aaron into Morris Group to compete with his brother

In Morris' mind, as long as Aaron was willing to stay and join Morris Group to take up a position, those shareholders who originally supported Joe would waver. They would recall this second son who had been away for many years, and then begin to weigh whether or not they should fully support Joe

In this way, Joe would not have received 100% support within the group, and absolute power would not have been transferred. Even if Morris had been terminally ill, he would have been able to hold onto the position of chairman

I felt a wave of sadness in my heart, whether I

regarded old Morris as an elder suffering from a terminal illness or as a shrewd entrepreneur, the reality was unimaginable to me

Perhaps old Morris was really getting old, which made him confused enough to argue with his own biological son over the elusive and intangible right to have a say

Or perhaps, as Aaron said, years of absolute power made it unbearable for him to live as an ordinary, ailing old man. Under the influence of power, he gradually became someone devoid of any sense of affection, even the warmth of apologizing to Aaron 1n person in the past had vanished

I looked at Aaron in front of me, unable to hide his pain, and suddenly felt extremely sorry for him

He worked so hard to achieve something outside, perhaps to avoid any connection with the Morris Group and to prevent becoming the person who would confront his brother in the midst of internal power struggles within the group one day

But his father refused to let him go, even though he repeatedly stated that he would not enter the group headquarters. Old Morris still forced him in, treating him as a sword to balance Joe, but no one asked Aaron if he was willing to be this sword

I embraced Aaron's body and gently patted it a few times, but still did not speak hastily to draw a conclusion about the whole thing

I think I shouldn't deepen the conflict between Aaron and any member of this family, even though I am currently disgusted by the behavior

of old Morris, I cannot join Aaron in cursing his father

That's right, everything was just speculation
