Chapter 388
Nathan knew Thea, but he didn’t know William. He just suddenly felt a little anxious, as if he had ssympathy
for Thea. Thea longed for her father’s love, and if she were to disappoint her, she would be too miserable. Too
miserable.
Victoria wanted to gain Nathan's support, so she started to paint a rosy picture for him, half coaxing and half
negotiating, saying, “Nathan, you shouldn't pour cold water on me. After all, | have been Mr. William's personal
assistant, and you have benefited the most from it. Don’t worry, | will definitely fight for the Hill Group's
maximum interests with my uncle.”
Nathan was not confused, “If William truly trusted you, then why didn’t he give the Hill Group a convenient pass
to the South Town mall?”
Victoria said, “Oh, that shopping mall's leasing was previously handled by Thea. Thea hates us for causing
Theo's death, so she definitely won't easily let the Hill Group move in. But you can rest assured, | have managed
to bring Thea back home. She won't be able to cto the company for a long time. The leasing project of the
shopping mall will definitely be handed over to someone else. By then, | will make sure the Hill Group gets the
qualification to move in at a low price.””
Nathan seemed unsure, “Did William really listen to you so much that he marginalized Thea?”
Victoria was very proud and said, “I told you, but you didn’t believe me. My uncle treatedmuch better than
he treated Thea,”

Chapter 383
Nathan said, “I will believe you when you truly benefit une Hill Group.”
Victoria gritted her silver teeth in frustration and said, “Just you wait. | will prove it to you.”
The negotiation ended without reaching an agreement.
Upstairs, a small figure stood silently at the staircase. On the childish face covered by the darkness, there were a
pair of mysterious and unfathomable gem-like eyes. They emitted a cold light, shining towards Victoria.
The next day.

At the regular morning meeting of the Fletcher Group, William was absent from the conference.
Kyler’'s father was shocked when he saw this nephew.
“William, you were not feeling well. Why didn’t you take stoff to rest? Why were you in such a hurry to
go to work?”
William did not answer him, and his wheelchair stopped next to Kyler’s spot.
William coldly looked at Kyler and said, “Shouldn't my cousin return this position to me?”
This sentence has a double meaning.
It was like firing a shot for William to seize the inheritance from Kyler.
Kyler would never easily give up his seat. After all, today it may be a seat he gives up, but tomorrow it could be
shares in the company, and the day after he may have to give up the
inheritance rights of the Fletcher family.
Although these originally belonged to William.
Kyler said, “William, you left the Fletcher Group many years ago, and many of the rules of the Fletcher Group
have changed. Your position, which was impossible to keep for over twenty years, has long been abolished. Now
your seat is over there.”
Kyler pointed to the far end of the long conference table. Sitting next to him were sinsignificant newly
promoted managers in the company.
William sneered, “Yes, | left the Fletcher Group many years ago. The Fletcher Group should have followed the
trend and made schanges. | understand.”
Kyler laughed and said, “Big brother, it would be great if you could think like that.”
William changed the subject and said, “I want to ask: Did the Fletcher Group's family inheritance rules change?”
Kyler mumbled, “How can something like this be changed?”
William said, “So, | was still the designated heir chosen by my grandfather, right?”
Kyler whispered, “Yes.”
William coldly glared at him, “The descendants of the Fletcher Group have the right to inherit the shares left by
the ancestors of the Fletcher Group, but the proportion of shares is not determined by the elders based on their
preferences. It is determined by the performance of the candidate for
inheritance within the specified three months. This rule, hasn't it changed?”
Kyler was dumbfounded.
“No change, no change,” Uncle Jagger said, “The old ancestor is just lying in bed. He is still conscious, and all
these years he has been eagerly awaiting the return of the second master to finalize the heir. In my opinion,
since the second master has returned, it’s tto schedule the heir competition. How about starting next
month?”
Kyler turned his head and looked at his father, who nodded at him.
Kyler was full of confidence and said, “Let’s compare. William, let's be frank, if you don’t have any achievements
by then, you will have to be kicked out of the Fletcher family!”
William looked at him and said, “If none of you were able to achieve any results, then you all should get out of
the Fletcher family.”
Kyler said, “Alright, we have a deal.”
William, however, said, “It would be best if we establish a written agreement. This way, no one can cheat if
someone loses later.”
As soon as the words fell, James stepped onto the stage with a gambling agreement in hand.
William signed his nwithout any hesitation.
Kyler sneered, “Big brother, | advise you to leave yourself a way out. After all, today’s the Capital is not the same
as the
the Capital twenty years ago. The elites of the Capital now only recognize my father and me.”
William said, “Let’s wait and see.”
Kyler and William signed a gambling agreement, and James sealed the agreement. Then he reminded the two,
“Our ancestors said that this gambling must be witnessed by the world. Therefore, this gambling will be open
and transparent, and will be subject to public supervision.”

William said, “Okay.”
Kyler also didn’t know where William got his confidence from.
He picked up the pen and signed his own name.
Soon, the streets and alleys, as well as various electronic channels, were all broadcasting this high-stakes
gamble.
Thea sat in front of the television, silently gazing at her father on the screen. His refined and gentle face, which
was usually soft, now appeared hardened as he locked eyes with Kyler.
“William, you were absolutely crazy. Was the title of the Fletcher family heir really that important to you? Clearly,
you didn’t care about these things before.”
William smiled and said, “I will fight to regain the glory that belongs to my daughter.”
Thea was in tears.
She timidly curled herself up in a turtle shell. However, her father, with his frail body, tried to forge an
indestructible
s.
She should not have taken this selfless love for granted.
She stood up slowly, and looked down at her fair and translucent hands.
She should have learned to fight for a brilliant future for herself with her own fists. Then she had to protect her
loved ones from wind and rain.
This was the meaning of her existence.
Thea’s decadence faded away in her eyes.
She called Ava and said, “Did you see the news?”
“Thea, Drake, Frank, and | were all waiting for your assignment.”
“Very well. Then, according to Theodore’s wishes, transfer all of Maplecrest Enterprises’ overseas assets to my
personal account. | will take this money and conquer all.”
Ava was overjoyed, “Thea, it’s so great that you could cheer up.”
