I’m Someone Else

Chapter 382

Jax felt his heart tremble as he anticipated the imminent disaster that would befall the Flynn Family’s businesses in Irieson. This was the first time a strong urge to retreat was ignited within him.

Just who is Olivia? Even if Rafael, the renowned Business Emperor, personally intervened, could he achieve such rapid and merciless outcomes?

He hastily walked away and quickly grabbed his phone to dial his assistant’s number. “I need to know, how are our businesses in Irieson? Has Keyshire Property retaliated against us?”

Jax’s assistant’s voice came through on the other end of the line. “Rest assured, Mr. Flynn. Our businesses in Irieson are operating normally. We’ve maintained a low profile and are only working behind the scenes, so even if Keyshire Property intends to take revenge, they won’t be able to target us.”

Jax let out a sigh of relief upon hearing these reassuring words. “That’s good. Oh, thank God!”

Danny was leading the operation against Keyshire Property. Even if Olivia were to investigate just who the ringleaders of this entire fiasco were, she would likely only trace it back to Danny. This meant that the Flynn Family’s businesses in Irieson would remain secure.

If all their Irieson enterprises were to go bankrupt, Jax could imagine that his fraying nerves would actually snap right then and there. It wasn’t just simply a matter of embarrassing himself; he wouldn’t be able to bear the blame from his family if it happened. Unfortunately for him, Olivia had already uncovered Jax’s involvement and identified him as one of the masterminds behind the scenes.

In the world of Irieson’s real estate industry, Keyshire Property stood as the reigning force, nearly monopolizing the market. So, it was truly a piece of cake if they wanted to uncover just who was targeting them.

Ultimately, one could say that Jax and Danny had underestimated the power of Keyshire Property, as well as the formidable presence of Olivia, the most beautiful female entrepreneur in Irieson.

Jax placed a firm hand on Danny’s shoulder, attempting to comfort him by saying, “Alright, let’s accept the situation. There’s no point in dwelling upon this now. Gather yourself and prepare for the next round of competition.”

Danny felt utterly lost, his gaze empty as he turned to Jax. “What should we do now?”

The consecutive blows had rendered him incapable of thinking, leaving him with no choice but to rely on Jax for guidance.

“There’s not much we can do. We need to avoid direct confrontation with Keyshire Property and establish a firm foothold in Irieson before considering our next steps.” Jax shook his head in resignation.

A true businessman had to remain calm and composed in times of crisis. This particular trait was an essential quality for a professional manager, and in this regard, he was far superior to Danny.

Olivia didn’t utilize the business cards given to her by Thomas, nor did she seek assistance from the Morton Family. Besides, she had more than enough resources to retaliate against Jax and Danny, who were still in the early stages of their development, with the considerable might of the Keyshire Property at her disposal.

Inside the meeting room at Keyshire Property, Olivia and six other vice presidents sat with troubled expressions on their faces.

After a rather extensive discussion, they deliberated whether they should push forward and retaliate against the Flynn Family’s enterprises in Irieson. Three vice presidents belonged to the hardline faction, firmly believing that anyone who dared to provoke Keyshire Property had to pay the price in

blood, regardless of their identity. On the other hand, the remaining three were part of the conservative faction, cautioning against provoking the Flynn Family further due to their formidable reputation. When they considered the family’s higher standing compared to the Wilkersons, they advised Olivia to temporarily suspend any retaliatory actions for the time being.

“Oh, well!” Olivia found herself unable to make a decision. Both the conservative and hardline factions presented valid points. As a result, she opted to pause the meeting and requested the six individuals to wait in the conference room. Meanwhile, she took the documents and returned to her office to seek guidance from her partner.

Olivia held a deep resentment towards the Flynns and the Wilkersons. If they had simply tried to deceive her and lure her away, she might have been able to let it go. But now, after she had returned on her own accord, they continued to pester her relentlessly, even targeting her beloved Keyshire Property. It was truly unacceptable.

In her heart, her true desire was revenge—a potent retaliation that would expel both families from Irieson! Nevertheless, she couldn’t act recklessly. While she could handle business conflicts, it would be her partner’s responsibility if violence was introduced into these waters.

Thomas gazed at the documents handed to him by Olivia and sighed wearily before commenting, “The Flynns and Wilkersons simply won’t give it up, huh!”

Since they had audaciously approached and encroached upon Keyshire Property, it would be unjust to those who had traveled from the capital if they weren’t made to pay a price.

“Thomas, what do you think I should do?” Olivia swiftly inquired upon seeing Thomas place the documents down.

Thomas smiled. “As guests from afar, it is only fitting for us, as hosts, to respond accordingly. Since they are the ones who initiated the conflict, there’s no need to hesitate. Strike back forcefully and let

them taste the bitterness of their actions!”

He genuinely thought that there was no reason to hesitate. The conflicts between him and the two families had long become irreconcilable. Since they showed no inclination to make his life easier, he certainly wouldn’t grant them any leniency!

“Excellent!” Olivia smiled joyfully after receiving her partner’s support and turned to head back to the conference room with her head high. She would meticulously arrange everything to bring the Flynn Family’s enterprises in Irieson to ruin!

Meanwhile, Thomas left Keyshire Property. He needed to visit Pinewood High School of Irieson to check on Veronica.

Half an hour later, the Maserati halted at the entrance of the high school, where Sean and William had been waiting patiently.

“Thomas!” The two of them approached him and greeted him warmly.

The trio then proceeded directly to the classrooms, while William provided an introduction. “Veronica has settled into her new job. I spoke with the principal and was told that she applied for a position as a language teacher. At this time, she should be teaching the year 10 Class 2 students.”

Thomas nodded and soon located Class 2 and peered through the window by the back door, casting his gaze upon the platform.

There, he witnessed Veronica holding a chalk in one hand and a textbook in the other, delivering the lesson with enthusiasm.

He couldn’t help but think that she truly enjoyed her current profession.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Now that he had physical confirmation that she was doing just fine, he could feel the knot in his heart relax.

“Let’s go.” Thomas gestured, leading his two companions out of Pinewood High School of Irieson.

“Thomas, I know of a decent barber shop nearby. Shall we check it out?” Sean cautiously suggested.

Thomas’ distinctive white hair was undeniably striking. William and Sean couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy every single time they laid their eyes on it.

“Why visit a barbershop?” His mind remained occupied with thoughts of Veronica, so he couldn’t keep up with their thoughts.

“Thomas, let’s dye your hair,” Sean proposed.

“There’s no need for that.” He shook his head. Besides, even if he did dye it, the color would fade over time. There was truly no point in going that far for something so trivial.
