Chapter 308 - PECULIAR COINCIDENCE (2/2)
He did not think that his nephew had the capabilities to fight with him over the company. Even if his background was unclear, he was not a person who had been raised in the family. His understanding of the business would always be inferior.
He could not beat himself or his children at harnessing the control of the Takahashi empire.
”Grandpa Takahashi, Uncle Takahashi, I am Ito Hanae. Nice to meet you.” She spoke softly and sweetly.
She helped in dispersing the discomfort that the people were feeling at the strange behaviour exhibited by Akira and Kaito.
Chairman Takahashi looked at Hanae with a strange intensity. As a seasoned veteran in the business world, he could detect underlying things about others. So, he could see that the girl was not as pure-hearted as she portrayed herself.
However, she seemed useful.
”Sayaka, you seem to be blessed with a wonderful daughter and niece.” Chairman Takahashi spoke up.
”They are quite ok.” Sayaka responded coolly.
”I foresee a union between our families soon.” The man continued with a strange smile.
In his mind, he was already plotting how he could use Hanae to stimulate his foppish son. Even though she did not look incredibly smart, she seemed to have enough means. He had heard that she lived with the Yamazaki family even though her parents had bought a house in the locale.
Her scheming mind is exactly what his son lacked. It was a shame. Both of his daughters were extremely brilliant and had made him proud since they joined the company. However, his son was mediocre and unambitious.
Kaito could see his uncle was plotting something strange, but he did not care too much about the man for now. His primary focus was teasing his little panda.
”Thank you, Uncle. Akira and I accept your blessings.” Kaito said with his mischievous smile.
Hanae, who was waiting for Kaito to acknowledge her, felt like she had been stabbed in the heart. From the beginning to the end, he did not pay attention to her.
His attention was completely stolen by Akira.
”Behave.” Elder Takahashi rebuked his grandson before turning to Sayaka. ”I have not yet introduced you to my grandson. This is Takahashi Kaito. His parents met a misfortune when he was a child, so he has been wandering outside. Please do not take offence at his manners.”
”It is good for children to be a little livelier,” Sayaka responded with a polite smile.
”Nice to meet you, Kaito.” Hanae was happy with the official introduction.
She had thought things through quickly and decided to target Kaito as a love interest. Naturally, she liked him because he was handsome and as a member of the Takahashi family, he was a good candidate for a long-term relationship and marriage.
The most important thing was that he seemed to like Akira.
