Chapter 447: Chapter 446 Scheming Face

Chapter 446 Scheming Face

Meanwhile, Zhou Jingren was also fighting his own battles. The return of his parents was unexpected. While he did not involve himself in the announcement of his father's return, he was still wary that Zhou Kang would include him.

At this point, Zhou Jingren only wanted to find Lily. Since his parents promised to take care of the Zhou Family, he immediately backed down and concentrate on looking for his wife.

It had been seven weeks now. Seven weeks without Lily and Zhou Jingren is already struggling to exist. It was as if… there had been a lump in his heart, constantly preventing him from functioning like a normal human being. He missed her, everything about her.

On the other side of the world, Jack was also busy scheming to destroy Zhou Jingren. While he did not found any proof that that the attacks on his shipments were instigated by Zhou Jingren, his gut feeling is telling him that the man would pose a threat to his empire soon. Because of this, Jack decided to visit Cathy.

\"I already told my father about this man before. I believe he wanted to take over the Facci Group.\" Jack said. sincerity was written all over his face. It had been three days now since the attacks in his shipments started- three days without any results. This made Jack fume on the inside. However, Jack was not planning to show his true emotions to the woman sitting in a leather chair in front of him. \"Now… I am not blaming my father for not warning Lily beforehand. I know how much he loves her and seeing her happy must have made him happy too.\"

\"So… let me get this straight.\" Cathy leaned towards Jack, \"You wanted me to investigate the man and remove him from the Facci Group?\"

\"I am not saying that. I am just telling you to take care of Lily's properties. And of course, be careful of Zhou Jingren.\" He smiled. Jack wanted to make it seemed as if he was only concern about the fruit of Lily's labor. They all knew how Lily loved her company so much and he was using this as an excuse to get involved in the matter.

Moreover, Cathy and his father used to work a lot before he was poisoned. Because of this, he knew how good this woman is. He knew that Cathy would be smart enough to figure out his real concern about Zhuo Jingren.

\"Well… Mr. Arison, thank you so much for your concern but this matter. But let's be honest, this is none of your business. We are all mourning. While we are doing our best to cope and try to move on, we can't really deny that her death was a great loss to everyone. I can't just do an investigation right after she dies and disrespects her love for her husband.\"

Jack immediately felt the bitterness in his throat. \"Cathy… don't get me wrong. Both of us knew what kind of man he was before he met Lily. Did you really think that the marriage happened because they love each other?\"

\"What is your point?\"

\"Well… I'm sure you knew about Lily's engagement to Liam, right?\" Seeing Cathy nod, he continued. \"I believe the marriage happened because she wanted to retaliate to my brother.\" Jack knew that this was a lie. However, he was banking on the fact that Lily was a very private person. He believed that Lily did not tell Cathy any information about the matter at all.

\"You think… Lily is that shallow?\" Cathy almost laughed. How could she not understand Jack's motive in coming here?

\"No- No… of course not. But that cheating incident must have hurt her. Both of us knew that Lily is a very prideful person. How could she allow her fiance to embarrass her like that?\"

Cathy stared at Jack for a few seconds. \"I don't think Lily would lower herself to your brother's level. She is a very calculating person. Someone that would treat everything as an investment. If…\"

\"Exactly!\" Jack interrupted her. \"That is my point! That marriage was a marriage of convenience. It was convenient for her to marry him. She could use him for revenge while he could use her for fame! Think about it… after the marriage, he started showing his face in the public more and more.\" It was as if Jack had a Eureka moment as he continued to convince Cathy about the marriage. In his excitement, he had forgotten he was here to pretend that he was concern about the Facci Group. Instead, he had accidentally revealed his true, jealous self.

\"You know… if it is hard for you, I can always buy some stocks. Arison Holdings is always at your service.\" He immediately offered. This was his second goal in coming here. The Facci Group originally belonged to his beloved. How could he allow some other man to manage the company?

\"You wanted to buy shares?\"

He nodded in response. \"I could buy the majority of the shares. Make the Arison Holdings the major shareholder and by then… we could easily overthrow the votes of the other shareholders. It would be easier to kick him out.\" He smiled.

\"Jack…\" Cathy pursed her lips, he held herself from lashing out. \"Do you think I'm a fool?\"

It was as if a lump suddenly appeared in Jack's throat. \"I—\"

\"Did you think… I won't notice your true goal here?\" While Cathy wanted to unmask Jack's scheming face, right now. She also knew that it would only make the matter more complicated. She could not let Jack knew that she is suspecting him. \"You are being greedy, Jack.\" Her tone was full of warning.

\"What do you mean?\"

\"Well… The Facci Group does not need the Arison Holdings' help. In fact, we don't need anyone's help.\" Her words immediately gave a surge of relief inside him. He thought Cathy was already suspecting him. Turns out she was talking about his offer.

\"Please don't get me wrong…\"

\"Listen here,\" Cathy interrupted him. \"Do not underestimate the woman who made you what you are now. Marrying him was her decision. Do you think she was a fool for doing that?\" She narrowed her eyes at him. \"Without Lily, you would get stuck in Poland for the rest of your life. Lily is your Savior. She was the one who planned everything. Because of that… you should be grateful. Stop trying to take advantage of this unfortunate incident for your own self-interests!\"
