Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 396

"Matthew, the head of the Grayson family, and Gabriel Hart, the head of the Hart family, were both exceptionally talented young businessmen. They were highly regarded in Crownport's elite circles."

"In fact, financial journalists often speculated that if the two of them ever joined forces, they might one day surpass the Cooper family and become the new kings of Crownport's business world."

This was precisely why Damian Cooper had been so desperate to nip them in the bud for years.

He feared the next generation, terrified that the business empire he had built with his own hands would be carved up by these young tigers.

Damian's goal was simple: take preemptive action and crush any promising young talent that could threaten the Cooper family.

Lucas sighed, a hint of resignation in his voice. "However, because of your engagement to the Hart family, and with Gabriel being so fiercely protective of his sister..."

"Your grandfather figured that as long as you and Liliana maintained the business alliance through marriage, the Hart family would essentially be an extension of the Cooper family and pose no threat. That just left the Grayson family..."

Lucas didn't have the heart to finish.

With one family dominant and two others rising, if the Hart family was neutralized in Damian’s eyes because of Liliana’s engagement to Linton, then only one target remained.

Crownport’s sole, and largest, remaining threat was the exceptionally brilliant head of the Grayson family—

Matthew.

Linton was a smart man.

Lucas didn't need to spell it out; he could connect the dots.

Linton’s eyes were downcast, his handsome face a mask of grim fury, etched with a terrifying coldness. A self-deprecating sneer twisted his lips.

He suddenly felt a wave of nausea. His face paled, and he frowned, covering his mouth as he gagged, his stomach churning with disgust.

His bloodline, his genes... his very existence.

It all filled him with an overwhelming sense of revulsion.
