Chapter 555: Plans Can Never Keep Up with Changes (3)_1
"Mom, how did you find out about this?" Brown Kress experienced a momentary blank in his mind when he heard his mother’s words. Then, he shuddered as it hit him: if the shareholders of the Brown Family knew about his dealings with The Underworld, there was no telling what awaited him.
"Where did I hear it? All the shareholders have been calling me. What the hell is going on with you? Have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of the Brown Family, huh?" By the end of her tirade, Old Lady Brown’s voice had risen several decibels in her agitation.
"Mom, don’t get so worked up," Brown Kress attempted to comfort his mother. But clearly, it was not very effective.
"How can I not get worked up? I just handed over the position of the Family Head to you, and now look at the mess you’ve stirred up. Are you trying to hand over the position of the Family Head of the Brown Family to that BASTARD?" Old Lady Brown couldn’t hide her agitation at the thought of his illegitimate child.
"Mom, please, don’t panic. I’ll come back right now and explain everything to you," Brown Kress had considered the possibility that his collaboration with The Underworld might be exposed one day, but he never anticipated it happening so soon. However, he had his own considerations. He thought that the success of their project with Dragon Society would take the Brown Group to the next level within BL, and that should shut up all the critics within the Brown Family.
"Fine, I’ll be waiting at home for your explanation." With a "click," Old Lady Brown hung up the phone.
Brown Kress listened to the rapid "beep beep beep" coming from the other end of the line with a dark expression. Clutching his phone tightly, he thought to himself that if he found out who was causing trouble from the inside, he definitely wouldn’t let them off lightly.
"Let’s go, back to the old mansion." Brown Kress handed his phone to his assistant and left the Brown Group building.
