Chapter 1524: 1524. Elly is in trouble
Just said:
"Back then, when the White Family was annexed and after my father passed away, the people of the White Family relied on the wealth taken from me to rebuild. They’ve developed quite a few businesses and naturally consolidated many connections."
"A few months ago, I started cleaning house, and most of those ingrates from the White Family have been dealt with. The few remaining are unworthy rotten fruits, not worth mentioning..."
Speaking of this, Ethan White furrowed his brows slightly, a bit annoyed, "It’s my fault for being too complacent, causing some mistakes, letting my cousin escape. Now, he’s causing some trouble."
Adam Jones listened with a furrowed brow, with slight impatience showing on his face.
"I only want to know about Elly; I have no interest in your family affairs."
Ethan White wasn’t angry at his impatient attitude, just smiled and said:
"I don’t need President Jones to intervene in these troubling matters. I just wanted to tell you that during the investigation of my uncle, I discovered something that might relate to Elly, which is why I reached out to you."
"Go ahead."
Adam Jones spoke, bearing his temper.
"I discovered during my investigation of my uncle that he’s linked to the Auston Group."
"Auston?"
Adam Jones’s eyes held a bit of surprise.
The Auston Group is a pharmaceutical company in Germany, with a history of over a hundred years.
Although it carries a German name, the head of Auston is an England person, with significant connections to the Jones Family.
Since Adam’s grandfather’s grandfather’s generation, the Jones Family has been in close ties with the Fefferman Family, the current heads of Auston, with multiple intermarriages.
Adam’s grandfather’s aunt and sister both married into the Fefferman Family.
The relationship between the two families is very good.
Currently, the head of the Fefferman Family is Lisa Fefferman, the eldest daughter.
The Fefferman Family’s heir is not restricted by gender but is determined by ability.
Lisa Fefferman is in the same generation as Adam’s father, Henry Jones, so Adam still has to address her as aunt.
In recent years, the two families have been busy with their respective business domains, leading to less frequent interactions, yet they’ve maintained constant contact.
It can be said that the Jones Family’s stability back then was not just supported by Lily Bankston helping Grandma, but also by a significant financial contribution from the Fefferman Family.
The financial support from the Fefferman Family was indeed a lifesaver for the Jones Family back then.
Therefore, in recent years, the Jones Family has also favored Auston in the market by offering benefits. Any industry touched by the Fefferman Family, the Jones Family basically prioritizes collaboration.
Now, hearing Ethan White suddenly link the Fefferman Family to his wife, he couldn’t help but become alert.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Ethan; though Ethan has bad intentions toward his wife, he still conducts himself uprightly. Even if he wants to deal with him, he won’t use Elly as leverage.
Therefore, he believes Ethan is telling the truth.
Precisely because it’s true, he’s on guard.
If Elly’s trouble stems from the Fefferman Family, handling it would be very tricky.
His gaze fixed on Ethan White, his eyes narrowed as he said sternly:
"Continue."
"My research company has recently faced some obstacles. Initially, I thought it was my uncle causing trouble for me through the Auston Group, but upon investigation, I found out that Auston’s actual target isn’t me but Brayman. Because the direction of my company’s research is similar to Brayman’s, it got dragged in."
