Chapter 251 

Love wasn’t that important. Then had had enough of not being fisted by her family. She only hoped that her future spouse would treat her without reservations, forever favoring her and making exceptions for her. 

She said, “I will always remember this favor. When I go back, I hope that you can take the time to settle the procedures as soon as possible.” 

Night fell. 

In the end, Nicolas did not give Thea an answer. 

At this moment, at the Hendrix family. 

Jepson Hendrix suddenly stood up from the sofa and said, “What did you say? Nicolas is missing?” 

“It’s absolutely true!” Jake nodded heavily as hot tears welled up in his eyes. “The news came from the Rowland family. Darwin has gone crazy looking for him. Dad, we’ve been suppressed by Nicolas for so many years. Now, it’s finally time for you and I to make a comeback.” 

Jaepson was the eldest son of his father, but his father had never trusted him. To this day, he was still managing a branch company that was not doing well. 

He hoped that Nicolas could die this time. 

To Sunnyend Manor!” Jepson retracted his gaze and could not hide his anxious smile. “Of course, we have to let Stefanhear this good news with his own ears.” 

The reason why Darwin blocked the news was to prevent this from happening. 

In particular, Stefan was too old to withstand the stimulation. 

When Stefan heard the news, he was actually calmer than Jepson had imagined. 

Jepson lost the joy he felt at home just now. He said, “Dad, Nicolas is the successor you nurtured. I know you’ve always valued him the most. Now that such a big thing has happened, it’s my fault for not taking good care of him. If you feel uncomfortable, cry. Don’t hold it in.” 

If Jepson could hide his schadenfreude better, Stefan might have believed his nonsense. 

Jake was unwilling to fall behind. He said, “Grandpa, even if Nicolas is no longer around, you still have me and Father. Don’t worry, in the future, we will definitely treat you well. 

“However, the Hendrix Group can’t be without a manager! We’ll do our best to search for Uncle, but before that, someone has to take charge of Hendrix Group.” 

His intention was obvious. 

Stefan leaned against the wheelchair with the butler pushing him behind him. 

Stefan’s fatigue was evident. 

He said, “You’re right.” 

Jake and Jepson’s hearts were in their throats. 

Nicolas was gone, and they were the only members of Hendrix family left. They felt that it was their turn to take over.

Jkae said, “Grandpa, I’ve been reading recently. It’s all about the company’s financial management and economic development. I believe I won’t disappoint you.” 

Before Stefan could say anything, Jake was already anxious to show his intention. 

Based on his attitude, Stefan would never hand over Hendrix Group to him.

Stefan’s heavy eyelids covered his fatigue. He said, “The company won’t collapse for now. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll be able to lead the company. Nicolas is your family. You’re too anxious to do this right now.” 

With a cold laugh, Jepson and Jake felt as if they had been struck by lightning. 

“Dad, the doctor said that you can’t work too hard!” Jepson gritted his teeth. He could not pretend anymore. “I don’t understand. What did I do wrong to make you so worried about me? I’m also your son. Are you worried that I will ruin the Hendrix Group?” 

Stefan nodded seriously. “Very likely.” 

Jepson added, “I’m also a top student who graduated from finance major… Dad, I’ve been wanting to ask you for all these years. What exactly made you so biased?” 

The resentment that had been buried in Jepson’s heart for a long time poured out. 

He knew that he was Stefan’s only child, and now that Nicolas was gone, he was fearless. 

However, Stefan would not indulge him and said, “Your character. A person’s ability never depends on how many things he can do. It depends more on how he handles things.” 

Stefan sighed deeply. “What I can give you and Jake is a luxurious and carefree live.” 

If he offered more, he felt that they might not even be able to maintain their current rich life. 

Incompetent people would only suffer a crushing defeat if they rashly took on the responsibility. 

However, it was obvious that both Jepson and Jake were unwilling to give up. 

Jepson said, “I think you’re really old and muddle–headed. Nicolas is the one who is useless. Over the years, he has offended many partners. If we hadn’t tried our best to make up for it, no one in Key Biskane would have been willing to work with Nicolas! I’ll prove with my actions that you have chosen the wrong person!” 

Stefan knew that he could no longer stop him. He asked, “What if I refuse to give in?” 

Jake said, “Grandpa, you’ve been sick. So you can’t make the right decisions. I believe the shareholders will definitely make the right choice.” 

Jake had been raised by Stefan since he was young, and Stefan had taught him a lot. 

However, he did not expect that Jake had inherited the bad character from Jepson. 

Stefan’s face twisted in pain. The only person that really cared about him was the butler. He asked, “Mr. Hendrix, are you feeling unwell? I’ll get a doctor for you.” 

Before he could take a step, the butler’s figure was stopped by Jake. He smiled evilly and said, “Grandpa’s health has always been bad. Sunnyend Manor is too far from the city. Don’t trouble the doctor to make a trip here. Grandpa will be fine after taking some medicine.” 

Jepson did not stop him. 

Their thoughts were surprisingly unanimous. If anything happened to Stefan, then the Hendrix family would become

theirs. This was a great opportunity for them.

Even though they were a family, Jepson and Jake were unmoved Jepson said, “Dad, Sunnyend Manor is a good place that Nicolas chose for you. The air is fresh here. You will definitely be able to recover on your own.” 

Stefan was so angry that he almost fainted. “Are you trying to kill your father?” 

“You’re being too serious. I’m doing this for your sake.” With a ned, Jepson turned around with Jake. 

After taking a few steps, they retreated in unison. They were so frightened that they almost peed themselves. 

Nicolas was like a demon. With every step he took, his expression became even gloomier. 

Jake was not as calm as Jepson. When he saw the trail of water behind Nicolas, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees. He asked, “Are you a human or a ghost? Nicolas, shouldn’t you be dead?” 

Nicolas’s lips curled into a mocking smile. 

If not for this, he probably would not have known that his brother and nephew could be so ruthless to Stefan. 

“It seems like you really want me dead,” Nicolas said coldly. 

He focused his attention on Stefan. 

Stefan’s face was pale, but when he saw Nicolas, he was overjoyed. “It’s good that you’re back.” 

Nicolas said, “Stop talking. The doctor is on his way… You have to hold on. Watch how I teach these two dicks a lesson for you.” 

Darwin searched along the riverbank and locked onto the locations of Nicolas and Thea. 

Before he could change his clothes, Nicolas came to Sunnyend Manor. 

Nicolas guessed that Jepson and Jake would not behave themselves. He did not expect them to want to anger Stefan to death. Nicolas said, “For the sake of the family assets, you don’t care about kinship at all. Don’t you understand why Father doesn’t like you? It’s because of your bad character!”
