On the day of Jack’s press conference for his new song, Mikayla successfully dragged Elise over to the
event. Jack’s new song was to be released at 2.00PM, but the entire hall was already filled with people
at 12.00. Most of the people were Jack’s fans from all over the country. With the tickets in her hand,
Mikayla led Elise to the entrance. Jack’s tickets were front-row spots, and Mikayla was extremely
excited when she found out that she was seated in the second row.
“I’m so close to my husband. I’ll get to see him in close proximity later!” Elise wasn’t interested in the
entire event, so she simply pulled her phone out. At that moment, she saw a local news article that was
recommended to her. She didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but when she saw that the title of the
article had the words ‘Griffith Group’, she looked at it for a second time before tapping on it. The
article’s title read, ‘The Griffith Group Split-Up—Have all of the core technical staff left the company?’
A bad feeling emerged in Elise’s chest when she saw the article, and the look on her face only turned
grimmer as she continued to scroll down with one finger on her screen. At the very same time,
reporters were huddled right outside Griffith Group, and all of them had their eyes fixed on the main
entrance. They were afraid that they’d miss out on the exclusive news and events. Soon enough, a
bunch of people walked out with Matthew leading the pack.
The reporters immediately charged toward them. “Young Master Matthew, is your announcement true?
Are you really cutting all ties with Griffith Group? Are you going to go independent and leave the Griffith
Family completely?” one asked. “Young Master Matthew, you’re taking away all of the core technical
staff of Griffith Group, and you’ll cause Griffith Group a major loss. Do you feel like this is rather
immoral of you?” another asked.
“Griffith Group is a large family, and you’re one of them. Yet, you seem to be attempting to destroy the
harmony of the family—could you be facing your own struggles that you’re hiding from the public?
Please answer our questions, Young Master Matthew.” … The reporters bombarded him with
questions, and Matthew simply turned to the camera before curling his lips into a sinister smirk.
“I think everything that happened between the Griffith Family needs to come to an end today. Today, I
am officially leaving the Griffith Group and its Board of Directors. I’ll no longer play a role in this
company. Aside from that, Global Trading Co. will also have its official opening today! From today
onward, I hope to learn as much as I can from everyone.”
After he finished speaking, Matthew led the rest of his men as they sauntered out of the company. His
actions were extremely bold, and the staff members of Griffith Group were all nervous because of the
incident. Alexander watched the entire live stream from his office on the top floor, but his expression
didn’t reveal any hint of emotion. “Young Master Matthew has taken away all of the core members of
our technical department and a few of the best workers in our sales department.
Half of the core members of the other departments have left along with them. It looks like this was
planned out all along,” Cameron hissed angrily. They had been vigilant toward Matthew all along, but
they hadn’t expected Matthew to act so quickly. “The staff members are panicking, Young Master Alex.
I think you should make an announcement before things get out of hand,” Cameron continued.
However, there was no anxiousness to be heard in Alexander’s voice.
“There’s no big deal. I’ll just treat this as a purge for the company. I’d like to see how many secret
traitors Matthew has planted in our company throughout these years. I want you to get a sum of all the
people who have left each department. Once you’re done with that, you can promote our own people to
take over the positions that are empty.” “I got it, Young Master Alexander. I’ll do it now.” Cameron’s
actions were quick, but he couldn’t do much to stop the news articles from trending.
Furthermore, even the Griffith Group’s shares were impacted as they remained on a low for extended
periods of time. When Jonah saw the news from his couch in Griffith Residence, he threw a massive
tantrum. “Go and get all of them back home now!” he howled. The housekeeper quickly nodded before
she made phone calls to contact all of the young masters. “Please come back now, Young Master
Alexander! Your grandfather is throwing a huge tantrum—what Young Master Matthew did was too
much.” Alexander’s gaze darkened as he picked his car keys up and headed out of his office.
“Try to calm Grandpa down. I’ll be there soon.” After ending the call, Alexander took large strides to
leave the company. To his surprise, he was surrounded by tons of reporters the moment he stepped
out. No matter how much the reporters tried to question him, he kept his mouth sealed. Thirty minutes
later, all of the Griffith siblings—everyone except Jack—had arrived in Griffith Residence.
Danny was the youngest child, and he had never been involved in matters related to the business.
However, he could no longer remain in the background after Matthew did such an atrocious thing that
impacted the entire family. “Matthew’s too much, Grandpa. Who does he think we are? How could he
do such a thing?
Has he never considered the family’s well-being? Well, I guess he’s nothing more than an illegitimate
child who’ll never be recognized as one of us—perhaps that explains it,” Danny uttered. “Danny!”
Brendan stopped his brother. “Your words are too harsh. We’re all brothers, after all.” “But are we
brothers to Matthew?
If he genuinely sees us as his brothers, he wouldn’t do such a thing, would he?” Danny retorted.
Brendan knitted his brows. “Regardless… Let’s wait for Alexander to come home.” Danny’s blood was
boiling, but he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and bite his tongue for the time being. Pin-
drop silence filled the living hall as no one else volunteered to speak after that. Soon enough, they
heard the sound of a car pulling up in front of the house.
Alexander had reached home, and everyone felt a surge of relief the moment he walked into the hall.
He rushed directly to Jonah. “Grandpa!” Jonah looked up to stare at him. “Were you aware of what
Matthew was scheming?” “It was too sudden. I hadn’t expected it,” Alexander replied. “This incident
has a really huge impact on the Griffith Family. What are you planning to do about this, Alexander?”
Jonah asked. “Don’t worry, Grandpa.
Everything is under control. Furthermore, there are a few other things that I’d like to report to you
personally, Grandpa.” Once Alexander finished speaking, Brendan—the more mature sibling—dragged
Danny out of the hall before Jonah said anything. Once the younger ones left, Alexander and Jonah
were the only ones in the hall. Alexander didn’t say anything and simply pulled out two documents
before handing them to Jonah.
“I got someone to check on this, Grandpa.” Jonah’s expression grew stern after he stared at the files
for a short while. His heart was still pounding long after he skimmed through the papers. “Are you sure
that he did all of this?” Alexander pressed his lips together. “I had gotten someone to investigate this
matter ever since I found an issue with my car during the race on the windy roads in the mountains. I
found out that someone had done something to my car’s brake, and I continued tracking only to find
out that it was Matthew who had done it.
However, I had kept this a secret and never intended to release it to the public since I figured that he
might have just made a small mistake. I thought I’d give him a second chance, but he’s getting worse
than before.” As he spoke, Alexander pulled out a different document.
“I think you should prepare yourself mentally before reading this, Grandpa.” When Jonah saw the
serious look on Alexander’s face, he knew that the documents were surely something of great
importance. The old man took the file into his hands. This time, his face turned ghastly pale as he read
the document. His grip tightened on the papers and he looked like he was about to be sick. “D-Did he
do all of this as well?”
