Chapter 354
Marlon scoffed, "Then what can he do anyway? He won’t be able to do anything just because I attacked his mistress."
"But Sarah said he is already starting a business backed by Vernon Phoenix Gray. What would happen if he becomes extremely successful and tries to destroy all of Grant’s family businesses?"
The smirk on Marlon’s face disappeared instantly.
He would lie if he said he wasn’t concerned about Henry’s effort.
He saw Henry as lesser James.
He was less smart, brave, and skillful at managing business. Henry was also easier to control than James simply because he was the son of a prostitute. He understood his position and, thus, had lesser self-confidence and self-worth.
That’s why Marlon didn’t hesitate to kill James when he knew he had a dumber son he could control.
Unfortunately, he began to lose his grip over Henry. Although Henry wasn’t as good as his late brother, he still inherited Marlon’s savvy business talent, and Vernon’s backing didn’t help either.
"That’s why I’m trying to capture Kate. That disobedient son of a bitch will do anything as long as we have Kate here. I can also order him to betray his cousin and destroy the Gray company from inside," Marlon said.
"And if we can’t capture her?"
"Then I will use all of my connections in New York to make sure that Henry will fail whatever business venture he has," Marlon replied. "He is supposed to be the heir of the Grant family. He would also be the Duke of York if everything went well since the noble family has no male descendants."
