Chapter 748
Cooper's heart skipped a beat. He quickly recalled all his contacts with Armand during that period of
time, but each time they had been extra careful and vigilant. Even the somewhat goofy Timothy
practiced caution when speaking to others.
Jack's subordinates could not have found any clues even if they secretly monitored us, so why is Jack
asking me this question?
Wearing a poker face, Cooper replied indifferently, “Shouldn't you know better whether he's dead or
alive? Do you think you can stop him if he wants to bring the two kids and Genev away?”
Jack switched on his tablet and handed it to Cooper. “Two of the largest international financial
corporations, MF Group and GS Group are targeting Faulkner Group.”
Cooper's pupils constricted. He immediately stepped forward to receive the device.
MF Group and GS Group were financial corporations that existed since the twentieth century. Their
current influence and wealth were extremely formidable after so many years of development.
Those two financial corporations had collaborated to manipulate various countries' currencies, leading
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto financial crises in those nations. Those affected states had to rebuild their economies for many years
before slowly recovering from the tragic impact. Other financial companies had to be humble in their
presence.
Even Cooper and Jack did not dare to provoke those two financial corporations unnecessarily.
Alone, either MF Group or GS Group's influence was sufficiently terrifying. However, they were now
working together to eliminate Faulkner Group, which had dropped out of the global ranking.
After Cooper finished reading the information, he asked Jack, “Did you offend them?”
“Nope. On the contrary, Helt Corporation has multiple collaborations with MF Group.” Jack stared
intently at Cooper, attempting to catch the smallest change in the latter's facial expression. “They had
been secretly targeting Faulkner Group since two months ago.”
Jack purchased Faulkner Group's shares using his own name and became the group's major
shareholder.
Faulkner Group belonged to him and had nothing to do with Helt Corporation.
Jack elaborated calmly, “Faulkner Group's growth has become slow. An insignificant company like this
should not attract those two large corporations' attention. Someone must have struck a deal with them.”
Aside from the dead Armand, Jack could not think of another person who would team up with the two
financial groups.
Cooper narrowed his eyes and analyzed the situation. “Faulkner Group may not be significant globally,
but it was undoubtedly one of the largest corporations in Xedells, involved in trades of most Xedells'
citizens' daily livings. Faulkner Group is still considered a money-making organization. After MF Group
and GS Group take over Faulkner Group, they can utilize Faulkner Group to establish their influence in
Xedells.”
Jack curled his lips and sneered. “Is that so? There's something else I should tell you. Someone dug
Cesar's grave.”
“What?” That alarming incident shocked Cooper to his core.
He even began suspecting if Armand was indeed behind all those things.
Jack asked Cooper, “Who do you think has nothing better to do than to dig up a dead person's grave?
Moreover, they did that without alerting anyone.”
Cooper swiftly recollected himself and said, “I know how much you despise the Faulkner family. In my
opinion, the two financial corporations targeting Faulkner Group and the robbery of Cesar's grave are
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmboth orchestrated by you.”
A cruel smile spread across Jack's face. “If I wish to wipe the Faulkner family out, I could have done so
in the past. I did not need to do it indirectly by manipulating others to do my bidding!”
Cooper responded, “You said Armand is not dead. Show me the proof.”
Jack bore his frosty eyes into Cooper for some time. Perhaps Cooper's acting skills were too
convincing, so Jack did not notice anything suspicious in the end.
Cooper moved toward the window and gazed at the scenery outside. After a few moments of silence,
he piped up, “Is there a chance for Faulkner Group to be saved?”
“No,” Jack answered straightforwardly.
He was not a member of the Faulkner family. In the past, he had taken control of Faulkner Group and
left it in his possession as a tool to generate profit as a favor to Genevieve.
If the two financial corporations wanted to seize Faulkner Group, Jack had no intention of saving
Faulkner Group either.
Right after Jack and Cooper entered the study, Nathalia had tiptoed to the door of the room to
eavesdrop on them. An unusual glint flashed across her eyes as she listened to their entire
conversation.
When she heard the sound of footsteps drawing closer, Nathalia quietly and hastily returned to the
living room.
