Chapter 892 Im Lost (1/2)
Not long after Jacob spoke to Emily, he was told that Darren was making his move and had taken action.
A few days later, the news that the CEO of the Xu Group would be changed spread in all of the major news media outlets, implying that the fight within the Xu Family had begun.
As a result, the stock of the Xu Group plummeted. What's more, the whole company fell into a state of depression. David remained at the company headquarters to deal with those things for several days in a row and didn't go home to rest at all. He soon became worn out and strained by facing the siege within his own family.
Seeing the news concerning the Xu Group displayed on the screen, Dina polished her newly buffed fingernails and her lips curved up into a wicked smile. ”Emily, did you see that? I will destroy all that anchors you, one by one.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than a soft male voice sounded in the room as Darren rolled his wheelchair closer to face Dina.
”So are you satisfied with what you saw now?”
”Yes.” With one word, she expressed her jubilation at her enemy's looming demise. Dina looked up at him curiously and pointed at the man who had suddenly appeared on the screen. ”By the way, are you okay with treating your brother like this?”
She remembered that at the beginning, when Darren had told her that he would do her a favor, she had wanted him to punish Emily. But she had never imagined that he would so casually disregard his own family in the process and strike out at his own brother.
”Of course not. But if I didn't do that, how could I help you to deal with Jacob and the others?” he asked, his voice almost a purr of contentment. Moving to face Dina, Darren pulled her feet from the tea table and onto his thigh.
”You're right. Hey, that's so ticklish. Stop it,” Dina chided as Darren stroked her feet.
Darren's fingers gently pinched her delicately-shaped toes. Dina shivered with goosebumps as he tickled her and she pulled her feet back. Then, she sat up and hugged his neck.
”Darren, do you think that I can start filming again soon?” she implored.
Now that Darren had become the largest shareholder of the Xu Group, it meant that she had a backer who could compete with Jacob. Therefore, it would make sense for the company to resume her work.
Dina was used to the adrenaline-fueled life of being a famous star with many events to attend and parties to be seen at. Her recent life of peace and quiet bored her and she felt uncomfortable in this forced role. She hoped to reprise her role as a starlet as soon as possible.
”Yes, it'll come very soon. Just wait.” Darren soothed her and touched her head gently.
'If everything goes well, David would have to agree to let Darren become the CEO of the company.
