Chapter 726 - The Fight Has Started!
At the office, Jean lowered his head and wrote something down on a document. A few strands of hair fell on his forehead and behind him was a large box of sunlight shining down on his shoulders. The atmosphere surrounding the man was solemn.
At this time, the man did not raise his eyes when he heard the door being opened. He asked in a low voice instead. "What else do you need?"
Lilia leaned against the door's frame and answered with a smile, "I just want to ask Mr. Widjaya, does he have time to have lunch together?!"
The man opened his eyes in an instant and looked into Lilia's clear eyes. The seriousness between his brows faded in an instant, and his magnetic voice replied, "Of course I have time. Does Mrs. Widjaya want to eat?"
Lilia bit her lip down. She was about to answer when someone jumped out from behind her. "Jean, why don't you ask me!"
Jean caught Tom's figure." What are you doing here?"
Tom's answer was short, "Nothing!"
In fact, he missed Jean!
He hadn't seen him in a long time. Indeed, he planned to come and chat with his friend.
The man ignored Tom. He put the pen in his hand and got up to meet Lilia leaning against the door. "Did you go to your studio today?"
"Yes," Lilia unwrapped her scarf and saw the man spread his arms. She handed herself over to him. "I wanted to see Vivi, but I met Brother Tom there, so we came here together!"
Tom was left speechless at the door. He watched the warm scene ahead of him. He felt like sinking into an inexplicable feeling.
Being single is so sad!
But was he even short on women? Who wouldn't want to date the son of the Wibowo family?!
Tonight, he will find pleasure in a woman's warm embrace!
Tom is still immersed in his own world, while Lilia and Jean are already sitting on the sofa in the office.
"Did you get to see her boyfriend?" The man looked at Lilia, raised his hand to remove the hair from her lips, and asked.
Hearing this, Lilia sighed and shook her head. "I didn't see him. I saw him at the airport earlier. But I just want to see Vivi today."
When Tom heard these words, he immediately opened the conversation. "Jean, Vivi's boyfriend is so bad! How could a man let his partner take care of all the preparations? Even the tax registration information did not include her name. What do you think? I smell a scam here!"
Lilia gave him a faint look, but she didn't argue with what he said.
She agreed that Ludwig was indeed suspicious!
The man looked at Tom's poor gaze with deep eyes. He folds his legs and says, "What do you think?"
Tom was taken aback!
He does not know what to say!
As if reading Tom's languid expression, Jean raised his eyebrows playfully. "Since you don't know, have you started your preparation to inherit your family business instead of wasting your time worrying about other people's business?"
Tom was still standing at the door, his heart tightened, and his back straightened unconsciously. "Jean, I suddenly remembered that there will be a meeting soon. So I'll go first! We… Let's eat another day!"
Tom immediately ran from the scene as soon as he finished talking!
Tom, who came and left in a hurry, made Lilia dumbfounded when she saw him running away.
She looked at the door that had been left open, unable to help but laugh out loud. "He's still so scared of you! I asked about his job earlier and he answered that his company will only hold a meeting in the afternoon, and now he's running away!"
Jean shook his head helplessly. He wanted Tom to grow up as fast as possible, but it didn't seem like a problem that could be resolved overnight.
He took her eyes off the door, and saw Lilia's slightly hot eyes and thin lips. "Is there something on my face?"
Lilia pursed her lips and shook her head. Then she put her hand on his palm and grasped it tightly. She asked seriously, "I heard that you have invested in the Hartanto family. Is that true?"
When that man heard Lilia's words, his eyes were soft and watery. "Where did you hear it?"
Lilia raised her eyebrows and didn't answer, as if she had decided to wait for him to confess.
"Tom, isn't it?" Jean tried to guess the source of the information.
Lilia wrinkled the corners of her mouth without showing off her expression. After a while, she couldn't hold back her deep brows and nodded slowly. "Is it because I worked there that you invested?"
A smile appeared in the man's eyes as he caressed her face patiently. "Do I need to invest 100 billion?"
Lilia was stunned, speechless.
If this was the case, it would really be a huge investment.
Hence, the man's next explanation made Lilia let out a sigh of relief. "It's not because of you, after all. The Hartanto family had experienced a difficult time some time ago. Chris' relationship with his family is getting tense. The funds were meant as a bargaining chip."
Jean's explanation made Lilia feel relieved, but at the same time, her heart felt trembling.
He said this, perhaps because he didn't want to have his wife think too much about it……
Lilia laid lazily on the sofa, tilted her body and approached the man's shoulders. "When I walked in just now, I heard your employees were all selling stocks. The stock market was down and they were very excited. Is the stock market doing well?"
"Not!" The man embraced her soft body, then said in surprise, "What drops does the Galaxy Real Estate observe?"
Lilia was stunned.
She thought a little, and then she was surprised. The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at the man slyly.
"What are you thinking?" When the man saw his wife's gaze, his face became interested. With a sly tone, he asked and then fell silent.
Lilia thought about it for a moment, and then began to analyze it straightforwardly. "Did they seriously fall? But how come you own Galaxy Real Estate stock? Did you buy it?"
Jean did not hide, he honestly said, "Downstream companies hold a lot, there are a large number of individual investors at the same time. In a week, at least they will let the market value of Galaxy Real Estate evaporate by thirty percent."
From the start, he had no plans to play with Alfred.
He pretended to be helpless at the back, and what Alfred said to Lilia was enough to make it happen. Jean had started the fight.
When his brother asked, he also stated that he would sell shares in the downstream company without explaining why.
In fact, what the downstream companies were selling was the Galaxy Real Estate shareholding ratio of nearly 30%.
Coupled with a large number of retail investors in the market, Alfred won't be able to stand still.
Not wanting to watch the market value evaporate in vain, he will definitely use his hands to buy back the shares cheaply.
But once this happens, he will only lose more.
At that time, Lilia understood Jean's unexpected expression in an instant, secretly admiring him.
After a while, she jokingly said, "The stock has dropped dramatically and Alfred certainly won't hang around and wait to die. Maybe he looked worried, but he must be up to something. After all, when people suffer losses, they often act impulsively!"
The man had a gentle expression on his face, and it seemed like his smile showed that he was not afraid. He smiled confidently as he said, "I'm looking forward to what happens next!"
