Tower with Sylvia.Gavin frowned as he looked at the Williams Corp. Tower. He was unaware that Sylvia was the CEO of Williams Corp. When their grandmother passed away, he recognized Irvin, Keith, and Sylvester but couldn't figure out why they visited their village.'Could Eric's beauti

Gavin was thrilled when he realized that Lucas and Sylvia knew each other. Just as he was about to speak up, Lucas beat him to it, saying, "Sylvia is your cousin's wife, right? So, your cousin must be Eric, correct?""Yes, Mr. Petterson. You know my cousin?" Gavin couldn't contain his joy, and Lucas' companions couldn't hide their surprise. None of them expected Gavin to have such a connection."I do. I know him quite well." Lucas chuckled. "Do you know Sylvia's position at Williams Corp.?"Gavin shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure, but she seems to hold a high-ranking position there.""High-ranking?" Lucas smirked. "Sylvia is the CEO of Williams Corp!"Gavin was rendered speechless, struggling to grasp that Eric had married the CEO of Williams Corp.As they entered the company, Lucas suddenly halted. His secretary asked, "Mr. Petterson, do you want to dismiss Gavin Johnson?"Knowing that Lucas and Eric had a strained relationship and that Gavin was Eric's cousin, she assu

Irvin said, "Lucas, I've disbanded my team and moved them to different departments. How can I handle this? I just can't."Lucas replied, "Uncle Irvin, how about a 30% discount? Take them all!""Even with a 50% discount, I can't manage them!" Irvin hung up after saying that.Lucas cursed under his breath and then tried calling Sylvia, but there was no answer. Out of desperation, he reached out to Sylvester."Hey, Sylvester. Can we talk?"Sylvester chuckled. "Lucas, what's on your mind? Let me guess, do you want to thank me?"Lucas seethed inwardly. He couldn't afford to offend Sylvester, as he needed Sylvester to help him out of this mess.He forced a smile and said, "Sylvester, I've realized that the businesses I acquired from Williams Corp. don't align with Petterson Corp.'s direction. I'd like to return them to you.""Return them to me?" Sylvester pretended to be surprised. "Lucas, what kind of game are you playing? You can't do this! You can't take advantage of my lack of bu

Lucas felt extremely unwilling. He hadn't even started yet, and it felt like it was all over. -Meanwhile, at Petterson Corp.'s headquarters in Dortmund City, they were working diligently. They were trying to determine if this situation might be a trap set by Sonnex Corp. and Williams Corp. The timing just seemed too perfect. Shortly after they took over the relevant businesses, the war between the two major King City corporations erupted. But the Pettersons also wondered how the Williams and Sonnexes had obtained such confidential information.After analyzing the situation, Frederick would visit Salt City and gauge Sylvester and Irvin's attitudes.-Sylvia couldn't care less about these matters. Lately, she had been questioned by the top executives of Williams Corp. However, after Montgomery Corp. declared war on Hernandez Corp. and took action, all doubts vanished. They even praised Sylvia's remarkable vision and business acumen.Sylvia paid no attention to their compliments

After saying that, Eric continued eating.-In the afternoon, Frederick arrived in Salt City for a meal with Sylvester, Henry, Irvin, and Lucas. Sylvia couldn't make it as she had plans with Elly.Frederick wasted no time and asked Henry why Sonnex Corp. and Williams Corp. were selling their businesses.Henry's answer was straightforward. He explained that both families welcomed the Pettersons to Salt City and willingly reduced their market share to help them expand. He also apologized for not foreseeing the war between the Montgomerys and Hernandezes, which had disrupted the related markets.As Frederick sipped his wine, he wondered if Irvin might be the source of this information, having recently returned from King City.However, Frederick doubted Irvin's connections there remained. Could it just be a coincidence that some unaffected businesses were handed over?"Bad luck this year." Frederick sighed. "Who could've predicted the major conglomerates in King City would go to war
Chapter 296
That night, Frederick departed from Salt City. He realized that staying there wouldn't be productive. After discussions with Petterson Corp.'s top executives, he concluded that the Williams and Sonnexes had teamed up to deceive them. This infuriated him as it severely impacted Petterson Corp.Even if they had avoided Salt City, the conflict between Montgomery Corp. and Hernandez Corp. would still affect them. They had moved some funds to Salt City, which reduced their financial stability in Dortmund City.Despite his frustration, there was little he could do except minimize the corporation's losses and endure the situation.In comparison, Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp. had it easier. The war between these major conglomerates didn't significantly affect them. Petterson Corp. bore the brunt of the turmoil. As the battle between Montgomery Corp. and Hernandez Corp. escalated, Petterson Corp. would continuously suffer losses.-"Sylvester! Haven't you finished the evaluation yet?" Lu

Their roles were crystal clear: Eric handled technical matters, while Andy oversaw company operations. Rarely did they meddle in each other's affairs.Andy did not understand complex technological matters, and Eric was clueless about company operations. However, when they collaborated, it was a harmonious partnership.-The impact grew more significant as the two major conglomerates in King City waged war.The Williams and Sonnexes refrained from extensive business expansion during the corporate war. In this period, blind investments were unwise. Consequently, their focus shifted toward developing the northern district project. Given its local nature, the impact remained minimal.-Recently, Lucas hadn't been bothering Sylvia much, as he was dealing with his own hair loss issues. It had only been a week, yet Petterson Corp.'s Salt City branch was on the brink of collapse, and the corporate war showed no signs of ending.Meanwhile, with Seraphine absent from Salt City, Sylvester
