Castor was resentful but did not talk back. Instead, he stood in front of the shareholders who supported
his father and said to Mr Johnston Sr., “Grandpa, I know you prefer Jared, but my father has been the
one who manages the company all this while in contrast, Jared has only been back not long ago How
can you hand over the company to him? What gives him the right to take over the helm of the
company?”
Mr Johnston Sr’s expression was frigid to the extreme, and he laughed. “Because he’s the CEO of JJ
Johnston Group”
“JJ Johnston Group?”
Everyone was astonished upon hearing the name
Henry was familiar with the name JJ Johnston Group and Johnston Group entered a joint venture last
year JJ Johnston Group, based in Mecrounia, had strong financial backing and enjoyed a high standing
internationally Even Johnston Group appeared to be a weaker partner in the venture with JJ Johnston
Group
And Jared was the one who ran such a massive corporation Because the owner of JJ Johnston Group
had been remaining very mysterious, no one in the country knew who the owner was, and Jared had
always been the only person who could contact the owner And also, because of the venture with JJ
Johnston Group, no one dared to challenge his position as the acting CEO of Johnston Group
It was not until today that Henry realized that Jared was JJ Johnston Group’s owner, which he had
been trying to woo all this while No wonder JJ Johnston Group had only wanted to work with Jared
It turned out that JJ Johnston Group was Jared’s shadow company Today, most of Johnston Group’s
funds were tied up in the joint venture with JJ Johnston Group, which also meant that most of the funds
were in Jared’s pocket
Henry was utterly dumbfounded at this moment, regretting that he had underestimated his rival and did
not properly conduct a background check on Jared
Not far away, Edwin, who was watching it all, muttered to Preston, “Few people in the country really
know Jared owns JJ Johnston Group. I only learned about it when I took on a hacking job from JJ
Johnston Group”
Preston raised an eyebrow, “You already knew that?”
Edwin nodded ‘In fact, Jared didn’t really hide his identity carefully When he first came back from
abroad, he used this identity to go to school and meet Mr. Ellison. People at the school only knew that
he was the CEO of JJ Johnston Group and did not know that he was also from Johnston Group”
So people only heard about Jared but were unaware he owned JJ Johnston Group Those who had
seen the CEO of JJ Johnston Group did not know that Jared was the owner That was why the owner of
JJ Johnston Group had been deerned so mysterious
“You deserve to be a master informer Preston raised an eyebrow, impressed by Edwin’s Intelligence
gathering wits
“I’ll take that as a compliment “Edwin smiled triumphantly, unruffled by that sarcastic remark.
People gradually come to their senses and watched Jared walk up the steps. They no longer saw him
as just a Johnston family’s outcast but a real strong man
As the CEO of JJ Johnston Group and the successor of Johnsion Group. Jared would control the
biggest corporations in Macrounia and San Joto, becoming the man that everyone looked up to
Now, even those shareholders who supported Henry had turned against him. This was expected. There
was no point in staying on Henry’s side when Jared was clearly the winner.
Henry knew he had failed utterly. He had lost every bargaining chip if Jared was the CEO of JJ
Johnston Group
Meanwhile, Castor and Murphy did not know the seriousness of the matter. “Dad, what are you doing
standing here? Jared has gone up there.”
But Henry’s face had turned pale, and he was utterly speechless.
