Chapter 301

Both Debbie and Spencer understood each other tacitly after theirconversation!

Stan was curious. “How did you convince her anyway?”

Irene was not in the mood to answer, however. “Do you really have togossip so much?”

Stan chuckled-he was certainly eager to replace out, but her responsemade it clear that she did not want to tell, so he should not ask.

Soon, they returned to the hospital, and Irene headed inside.

“Mom, look at this.”

lan, who was now appointed CEO of Light Group, was almost losing hismind after seeing report after report detailing their losses.

Quincy was naturally scowling as well. “I know Isaac and what he'scapable of. There shouldn't be this. much loss...”

“Did he do this on purpose?” lan was certainly surprised by therevelation that the seemingly vibrant and dominant exterior of LightGroup hid an entity that was already at death's door.

Quincy thought about it. “I don't think so-maybe Isaac just wanted tohide it from the board.”

“That just means he took us for a ride! We went through so much onlyto get this crap!”

lan was certainly frustrated-the so-called financial giant he inheritedwas just a ship filled with holes, ready to sink in an instant!

Even so, Quincy told him to calm down.

With all said and done, she was still happy-how could she not be?They did not fail, for her longtime wish to take over Light Group wasfinally fulfilled!

“It's only reasonable that we inherited his troubles after we took hisplace. You'd be disappointing me if you back down now, lan.”

Quincy thought then that Isaac must have deliberately positioned themin an awkward spot.

She knew the man, and he must have set a trap, or he would not haveleft so quickly.

It seemed that they were looking at the trap now-Quincy would actuallybe puzzled if he did nothing before leaving!

However, it did not cross her mind that Isaac had simply staged thoselosses and had siphoned away the company’s capital instead. Beingignorant of that fact meant Quincy remained brimming with confidence.that they could turn things around and bring Light Group back on theright track, even trumping Isaac's achievements!

From there onwards, she would basically lord over the Jeffersons,since Henry was already old, leaving Light Group under her son's rule.Under her assurance, lan calmed down and thought Quincy was right.“Sorry, Mom.” He apologized. “I let my anger get the better of me.”Quincy clapped him on the shoulder. “I believe in you, son. You'd neverlose to Isaac-you're the best

Jefferson, and the right man to lead the family.”

lan nodded.

“Don’t worry, I'll be helping you too,” she assured him, adding to lan'sconfidence, his frustration from reading those damning reports nowwaning.

“Once we win this, bring Robin Lynd along when we host a banquet tocelebrate,” Quincy then said.

lan was actually surprised. “Wait, you're accepting her now?”

Quincy sighed. “She's not my choice for a daughter-in-law. I wish you'dchosen someone from another dynasty so that they could back you up.However, I saw how loyal she was to you when the mess with thecasino ship happened, and knowing that she’s genuinely in love withyou is reason enough for me to accept her.”

In the end, strategic marriages were a must for dynasties to strengthenalliances. That was the reason Quincy herself had pushed so hard toget Irene married to Isaac in the first place.

After all, be it in career or family background, Irene would be moretrouble than she was worth to Isaac, which was why Quincy helpedLionel in getting Isaac to marry her.

“Thanks, Mom... though it's still too soon to celebrate. I need to get ahandle on the situation as soon as possible,” lan pointed out.

Quincy agreed. “Call for a meeting with all heads of departments. Thatshould make things quicker.”

She was naturally a little buoyed now that they controlled Light Group,and eager to flex her authority

soon.

“Yeah. Let's go with that.”

With that, lan had his assistant send word for everyone to convene...only to replace out that the financial losses were just the tip of the iceberg!
