Chapter 1709

Briar wanted to become a member of the board of directors of Hunt Enterprise so she could decide thefate of the company and have the right to suppress Stefan.

"I..." It was rare to see Jovan look so defeated, and he kept his head bowed as he muttered, "I can't doit... at least not right now." "So, we can't reach a deal?" Briar snorted. Why did you ask me to comehere if you can't do it? You're wasting my time."

Briar turned to leave, but Jovan stopped her. "I only said that I couldn't do it now. You have to give metime, or else my smart grandpa won't agree. If he gets upset, I might even lose my position, and then Iwon't be able to help you at all."

Briar paused and contemplated it briefly. She knew she couldn't push him too hard, so she relented."Fine, I’ll give you one week. Is that enough?" "I'll give it a shot." Jovan knew that getting what hewanted would just remain wishful thinking if his offer to Briar wasn't good enough.

Jovan decided to go to Hunt Manor to visit Timothy that night.

Timothy's health was getting worse. He had been lying in bed for a long time because it was hard forhim to get up and move around. He was overjoyed to see Jovan, and they played chess and chattedlike they used to. "You seem like a carefree guy, but you're actually quite devoted. You always comeand spend time with me." "Grandpa, please don't say that. You're the one who's spending time with meand giving me advice." "What advice can I give you? I can share some of my experiences with youbecause I've been playing chess for a long time." Timothy cleared his throat and moved a chess piece.Instantly, his gameplay became offensive instead of defensive, and he started advancing.

At first, Jovan had the upper hand, but he had no choice but to retreat, and could not make acounterattack. "Grandpa, you're amazing. I can't win this one." Jovan gave up resisting and willingly

surrendered.

"Nonsense. As long as the game goes on, there's always a chance to win," Timothy said profoundly,trying to give Jovan life advice too. "Sometimes, people are just like chess pieces. Don't forget yourselfwhen you're winning, and don't be downcast when you're losing... So, tell me-why did you come to metoday?" Timothy was smart; he knew that Jovan wasn't just here to play chess. He was certain Jovanhad a favor to ask of him.

"Ah, you really do know me best." Jovan sighed and decided to come clean.
