Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1365

I turned to my father, initiating a conversation about the Myers family's situation.

"This eldest son, Fred, is a practical and capable person. But after his mother passed away, his father remarried and had a younger son named Hugo. This younger son grew up spoiled by his mother.

"When his father couldn't manage things anymore, Fred took over the factory. He ran it well, with excellent quality and high output. He quickly became a leading figure in the industry, and no one can surpass him.

"To be honest, I really admire Fred's qualities. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to work with his company back then.

"But as this younger one grew up, he became envious of his successful elder brother. Plus, his mother was pushing him, seeing the factory as a treasure to go after.”

"It's similar to the Pierce family," my father said.

"Listen to the rest first," I said. "The younger brother knows the limit to his abilities, so he wants to reap the benefits without doing any real work. He's not cut out for it.

"He's just there for the title and to flex out there. He repeatedly tried to take over the company from Fred and resorted to dirty tricks. It's been a constant battle for Fred to focus on work while also guarding against Hugo’s schemes.”

"So many good companies have fallen into the hands of such troublemakers." Lauren sighed.

"That's why I advised Fred to transfer the factory to Bourdamun and get rid of this burden." I looked at my father. "At first, he wanted to split the company with Hugo, but his father refused. I think he knows what kind of person his younger son is."

"How foolish," my father sighed.

Suddenly, my father spoke up. "Your approach is correct, but it's too soft. It should be more ruthless. Otherwise, Hugo still poses a threat."

"But Fred always considers his father's feelings. After all, his father is old." I looked at my father helplessly. "I've hinted at him, but he can't bring himself to do it."

"Just wait for the opportunity. Since that younger one is a devil incarnate, he won't stop. Once he gets what he wants, he'll become even more arrogant. That's when you'll have a chance. Find evidence of his past misdeeds and expose his true nature,” my father suggested.

My father's words left me deep in thought. He was right. To eliminate this threat, I'd have to eradicate it from its root.

It didn't mean I couldn't if Fred couldn't. To ensure overall stability, I had to take matters into my own hands.
