The Greatest Heirs

Chapter 7

"Okay. I'll prove it," replied Renal confidently.

 Gerald immediately snatched the cooperation contract letter with Wayne Corporation from Harley's hands. The man with a thin beard and mustache tore the paper into shreds and threw it in front of everyone there with full confidence.

 “Are you crazy, Gerald?!” Grandma shouted because the thin paper was so precious to her.

 "Grandma won't need that, because her beloved grandson will guarantee a new cooperation contract from Wayne Corporation," replied Gerald. After saying that, Gerald pulled Harley's hand away from there, the two of them walked confidently and left the Kyle family residence.

 Meanwhile at home, Grandma was infuriated by Renal's mother's arrogant attitude and immediately hit her very hard in the face and blamed her for making Gerald that angry.

 "You're the one who made Gerald angry today, are you out of your mind?" Grandma snapped.

 "She's just a worthless daughter-in-law, why bother with her? Don't worry, regarding the contract, we already have Renal, I'm sure my son will get the signature," she answered convincingly to Kyle's grandmother. Kyle's grandmother's feelings were raging, not sure if her grandson would get a new cooperation contract with Wayne Corporation, knowing that it wouldn't be easy.

 "It's true what mother said, I'm sure Renal will get a cooperation contract with Grandma's new Wayne Corporation," added Yoke.

 However, unexpectedly, Renal himself secretly lost his mind when Gerald tore up the contract letter with Wayne Corporation. In his heart, doubts arose to repeat this collaboration with Wayne Corporation.

 "What are you doing? Your actions just now made grandma really want to kick you out of the Kyle Group, Gerald," said Harley irritably after the two of them were together in a quiet place.

 "They deserve that, Harley," replied Gerald casually.

 "You don't understand how to play, Gerald. I deliberately provoked them to act like that to open Grandma's eyes to think that I was indeed the right person to lead the Kyle Group. But instead you ruined everything by coming straight to tear up my contract with the Wayne Corporation. Harley cried, lamenting that Gerald's actions had ruined her fortune.

 "I'm sorry Harley," he whispered.

 "You don't know, if this contract was so important in my life because of your actions, I'm sure I would have been kicked out of the Kyle Group. Oh, God! "What if the reality is that I don't have a place to work anymore while I have to support everyone at home," said Harley sobbing.

 "Don't worry, everything will come back." Gerald tried to calm Harley, trying to tell her that everything would be okay.

 "I thought at first you were helping me, Gerald, but your actions made me really disappointed and thought that I really had a useless husband," said Harley.

 Harley got into his sports car and left Gerald just like that, feeling disappointed, mixed with annoyance and anger, he couldn't stop thinking that his husband would actually lead him into a hole of misery.

 Gerald really, really regretted going back to see Arnold, who was now like a friend to confide in and told him everything that had just happened.

 “What should I do Arnold?” asked Gerald, confused.

 "What Miss Harley said is true, young master," replied Arnold, instead blaming Gerald.

 "What's the solution Arnold?" Gerald started to get emotional.

 "You look arrogant, young master," he said.

 "What do you mean?" asked Gerald nervously.

 "The actions you took reflect your arrogant attitude as the new owner of the Wayne Corporation and can do anything to the Kyle Group. You don't realize that your attitude will destroy your own life," explained Arnold.

 "Then what should i do?" Gerald asked.

 "Keep looking poor and act as usual. Don't make too many people suspect you. If you want to take over the Wayne Group again, you have to follow the path of your sad life first and see who your real enemies are," suggested Arnold.

 This time, Gerald followed the advice put forward by Arnold Zummer because the overflowing emotions of seeing Harley being treated unfairly made him angry and arrogant.

 While the two people were still absorbed in their conversation, Gerald's green eyes suddenly caught a familiar body. Christian was also in the same place as him, walking alone to a table not far from where Arnold was sitting.

"Christian is here?" said Gerald.

 "Where?" Arnold asked.

 "Behind you. Don't turn around, he will see us!" Gerald ordered. Gerald wants to move to eavesdrop on Christian's conversation with a strange man.

 "I want to know who the new owner of Wayne Corporation is," Christian was heard saying.

 "Aren't you one of the Wayne Corporation family?" asked Christian's interlocutor.

 "Yeah, but Wayne Corporation just changed ownership and I didn't know about it," Christian answered. Gerald and Arnold's gazes met as if they were having a telepathic conversation.

 "And I want you to investigate this person," said Christian again.

 "Isn't he your first foster brother?" asked Christian's interlocutor.

 "Yes, I know. I have suspicions that the Wayne Corporation has something to do with him," Christian answered.

 Gerald's heart was beating so hard. What Arnold said was actually true. His actions made many people immediately suspect that he had something to do with the Wayne Corporation.

 "You see, even your sister is suspicious of you," said Arnold as he pulled Gerald's hand to leave.

 "I have to be able to convince Kyle's family that I don't have any relationship with the Wayne Corporation," replied Gerald.

 "How to?" Arnold asked.

 "For the next few days, don't ever come to see me. Everyone knows you are the trusted owner of the Wayne Corporation," said Gerald.

 "Yes, young master," nodded Arnold.

 "And for the time being, let Ana do my work, I want you to investigate something," ordered Gerald.

 “What is it, young master?” Arnold asked curiously.

 "Can you trace where Christian's funds flow from the Wayne Group? For a long time, I believed that he was the one who embezzled funds from my father's company and distorted the facts and slandered him," said Christian.

 "Okay young master, I will do it as soon as possible," replied Arnold quickly.

 Gerald let out a strong breath thinking about recent events that were beyond his comprehension, so many problems arose that he didn't expect that one by one his burdens would begin to lift.

 On the other hand, Ana has secretly met Gerald's grandfather to report on his work which has been recorded to prove his suitability to become an authoritative leader according to his wishes. Without knowing, Arnold drove to the middle-aged man's residence carrying the results of his work.

 "Is the big master inside?" Ana asked quietly.

 "Please come in, Ana, the master has been waiting for you." Ana nodded in understanding then followed the elderly woman, none other than the butler who was responsible for the entire contents of this house.
