Griffon returned to the study quickly, with his long legs, and took out his phone to make a call.
Carol, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened by the phone call. She was surprised to see that it was Griffon calling her.
Griffon never called her first, so why was he calling so late at night?
She stretched out her wrinkled fingers and pressed the answer button, “Hello…”
Griffon didn’t even bother with pleasantries, he just said coldly, “Knight Corporation’s shares, I’ll give you back 10%, and I’ll give your son an additional 5% in stock options. That secret you’re keeping, you’ll take it to the grave. Also, don’t try to incite the Knight pack to go after my wife again, or you and your son will have nowhere to hide!”
When Carol heard that Griffon was going to give her shares and increase her son’s stock options, her mouth curved up in a smile. But before she could widen it, the words “nowhere to hide” froze her lips. “You…”
Griffon interrupted her, “You have five seconds to think about it.”
This was clearly coercion!
Carol cursed him, “You can try if you have the guts,” but nodded her head during the countdown, “Okay, I agree.”
Her husband had died a long time ago, and over the years, her resentment had faded.
Being able to exchange this secret for shares and ensure her son’s future, even her grandchildren’s future, would be worry-free.
The goal has been achieved, so Carol will naturally accept it. As for the other Knight pack members who were encouraged by her but did not get any equity back, what does it have to do with her?
If the other pack members question her about how she was able to get back the shares, she will just push everything onto Dominic and let him face it himself.
Carol’s plan was well thought out, but she didn’t expect Griffon to be so smart and figure out so quickly that she was the one who encouraged the other pack members. G really lives up to being the one in power.
However… it’s not easy to get an advantage from Griffon, so why not take the opportunity to get another benefit? “I have a daughter, and I also want her to have a 5% increase in stock options. I can exchange it with another secret. What do you think?”
Griffon, who was planning to hang up the phone, heard this and slowly put down his finger. “If it’s not an important matter, you wouldn’t be proposing a trade with me. You know my methods.”
Although it was a threat, Carol was not afraid. “It’s related to your father and older brother. I don’t think it’s an unimportant matter, do you?” Griffon furrowed his brow and agreed, “Go ahead.”
Carol spoke slowly, “Your father didn’t commit suicide, and your older brother also died from taking the wrong medicine. That’s all I know. I believe with your abilities, you should be able to uncover the truth.”
After Carol finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Griffon stared at the black screen, lost in thought.
Gloria killed his own mother, but kept Griffon by her side to torture him and get revenge on his father…
Griffon’s father, upon learning of Ashley’s death, died in the fire while trying to save others. Gloria risked his own life to rescue people.
No matter how he thought about it, Griffon couldn’t believe that Gloria would go save his father. At most, she would save his older brother. But Gloria never denied it…
Could his father’s death be related to Gloria? And what about his older brother…
He suddenly remembered that Tara had once said that she was the only one who knew the truth about his older brother’s death.
Illegitimate pup, cousin, father and older brother’s deaths, all of
these things piled up and gave him a headache.
He raised his fingers and pressed them against his temples, rubbing hard, but the pain wouldn’t go away…
The doctor warned him that his brain disease could easily recur and that he should not overwork himself, but now he is exhausted.
He slumped in his chair, staring at the dusty drawer for a long time before suddenly opening it and taking out a box of cigarettes…
Upon waking up, Taya instinctively reached out to hug Griffon, but found nothing there. She ran her fingers over the soft bedsheet, feeling the coldness.
She opened her eyes and didn’t see Griffon. She quickly turned on the bedside lamp and checked the time. It was four in the morning and he hadn’t come back to rest.
Taya got out of bed and searched upstairs and downstairs, but couldn’t find him. Finally, she found him sitting on a wooden chair in the garden.
As far as she knew, he had quit smoking a long time ago. But at this moment, the man sitting in the flower garden was holding a slender cigarette between his long fingers.
Amidst the swirling smoke, a half-lit face appeared, like an eagle lurking in the darkness, emitting an aura that made people afraid to approach.
Taya didn’t go over to disturb him, but stood silently in the distance, keeping him company…It’s unclear how many cigarettes Griffon had smoked, but eventually he took out his phone and made a call.
Zack, who was on standby, saw Greyson’s call and quickly went to a place without surveillance to answer it.
“Alpha, I’m still investigating Johnny’s purpose for looking for Rosalie. Recently, Gigi has developed a great deal of trust in me, so I believe I’ll be able to find out soon.”
Zack immediately reported the progress without waiting for Greyson to ask.
However, he felt a bit aggrieved that he had given up his virginity to gain Gigi’s trust.
Zack could already imagine how angry Johnny would be if he found out that Z had slept with his sister..
But it didn’t matter to Zack. He wasn’t afraid. He could just mate Gigi since he didn’t have a wife anyway.
Griffon was even more troubled when he thought about Johnny’s situation, but he controlled his emotions and said coldly:
“I am calling you to ask about something else.”
“What is it?”
2/3
“When you investigated my eldest brother’s cause of death, were you sure there was nothing suspicious?”
Zak frowned slightly as he thought about the clues he had found in his previous investigations.
“Alpha, the first time I investigated, I asked you if your brother had undergone an autopsy. You said no, and I thought there was too much room for manipulation. So I secretly investigated a few times. I was planning to gather all the evidence before reporting to you, but since you asked, I’ll tell you now.”
“The hospital said Mike died of a brain disease, but what I found was that the medicine he took before he died had been switched by someone. However, I haven’t found out what medicine was switched yet.”
Griffon’s face sank. It seemed that Carol didn’t lie to him. Who could have killed his elder brother?
Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from the other end of Zack’s phone: “Zack, what are you doing hiding in the stable in broad daylight?!”
Zack was startled and quickly covered his phone, lowering his voice: “Alpha, I’ll go deal with that shrew first.”
Griffon murmured and hung up the phone. When he looked up, he saw a thinly dressed woman silently accompanying him from a distance.
He was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was still holding a cigarette in his hand. He immediately threw it away, crushed it with his foot, and walked towards her.
“Honey, I… smoked, I’m sorry.”
The towering figure of the man in front of her, apologizing as if he had done something wrong, made Taya feel amused.
