Chapter: 17
Although Raymond said this out loud, deep inside him, he was still a Little worried.

Currently, everyone in the Wilson family knew just how mad Michael was at his grandson, and Raymond was one of those who felt delighted by the situation. Michael wouldn't change his mind just because of a Buddha statue, would he?

Raymond certainly hoped not. After all, with Anthony out of the picture, he had practically taken over the entire Wilson family as the new head.

Of course, he didn't want to lose the power he had just acquired just because Anthony was able to patch things up with Michael again.

Anthony came into his grandfather's room with the Buddha statue.

He placed the statue on a table, and then turned his wheelchair and stopped in front of the bed.

The old man lying in bed instantly saw what Anthony brought in, and he looked at his grandson with loving eyes.

“I don't know if you've noticed it, but Raymond is growing a little too big for his britches. Don't you think?" The moment Michael mentioned Raymond's name, he couldn't conceal his disgust. “Well, how long are you going to let him boast around acting all mighty?"

As Michael continued talking, Anthony gently poured a cup of water for his grandfather.

“He's only in charge of the family business by name. It's not like he can really do whatever he wants."

The business the Wilson family ran was divided into two major factions— the core business and the periphery business. On the surface, what most people saw was the periphery business. Although it seemed to flaunt the family's influence and resources, it actually had little value.

However, the core business was the one that served as the center of actual power and wealth of the family.

On top of that, it was highly classified.

It was too critical that people like Raymond weren't even qualified enough to know about its existence.

“still, I can't help but feel sorry for you..." Michael said softly as he lowered his head.

Some time ago, the Wilson family underwent drastic changes.

It all began when Michael got injured and hospitalized, and Anthony became a cripple.

For most people, what they knew was that this happened because of Anthony's poor judgment. He failed to foresee their enemies' plan, making him and his grandfather fall victims to the trap laid out for them. In the end, Michael was injured and he himself became disabled for the rest of his life.

Then, in Michael's anger, he decided that Anthony wasn't worthy of becoming the heir of the Wilson family anymore. This meant that he would have to select another heir from the Wilsons.

Although this was supposed to be just a rumor, there was a pretty powerful piece of evidence pointing out its credibility. This was when Michael arranged Anthony's marriage to the daughter of a “humble” family.

The Jenkins might have a reputation that was much greater than average families in Sheffield, but their social status was still far down compared to the Wilson family.

But no one knew that behind all these rumors, the one actually pulling the strings to spread them was none other than Anthony himself.

"Is it not time to draw the net up?" Michael asked, hinting at the possibility of taking action.

However, Anthony just shook his head and uttered, “Don't be too worried about Raymond. He's just a clown who won't be able to do anything against me. There are still some people who are Lurking in the dark. We have to sniff them out first. If they are going to play a waiting game, I can be patient.”

Seeing the confidence in Anthony's eyes, Michael also felt assured.
