FreeNovelChapter 845 Chapter 845 After shoving the man into the room, William waved his hands dismissively. "Alright folks, the old man wants everyone out. Let's not hang around. He's not in the mood to see anyone these days." The crowd, which included many from the various branches of Dorsey International, shifted uneasily. The doctor had made it clear: the patriarch's condition was critical. Who knew when he might pass? The last person to see him might get the first scoop on the will, and the old man hadn't mentioned anything about it yet.

Inside the hospital room, Michael sat up in bed, looking surprisingly spry. Antoapproached and took a seat, showing utmost respect. "Grandfather." Michael nodded curtly, his gaze wandering to the window. "How are things?" "Uncle Max just returned from abroad. We're still not sure why he left, but his relationship with Brielle seems solid." Michael sneered, his eyes cold. "Ashton, do you know why I chose you?" Antodidn't speak, instead pouring a glass of warm water for his grandfather. Michael took it, "You don't have your father's underhanded ways. He's always scheming to push Max out, but when you look at the Dorsey family, Max is the only one fit for the top job. Anyone else takes over, and Dorsey International will face disaster." Michael had handpicked his successor, someone more capable than anyone in the main or side branches of Dorsey International. Antonio's gaze fell, a small smile forming on his lips.
"Uncle Max's abilities are indeed unmatched." "But he has disappointedsomewhat. I'll give him one last chance." Michael's eyes darkened. "Otherwise, he'll learn the cost of defying me." A flicker of anticipation crossed Antonio's eyes, his lips parting slightly. An hour later, when he emerged from the hospital room, no one knew what Michael had told him. The corridor was still crowded, but the patriarch's stance was clear-he would see no one.
As Antostepped out, he was immediately surrounded. He had never received such attention since joining Dorsey International; he simply chuckled. "Grandfather didn't say anything." Down in the car, William called him over. The father and son planned to head back. "Did your grandfather really say nothing? An entire hour-what were you doing?" "Grandfather only talked a bit about Uncle Max." "Hmph," William grumbled, "It's high the drafted a will. Max's head is all wrapped around Brielle; how can he lead Dorsey International? The old man still has twenty percent of the shares. It all comes down to who he decides to give them to." Those shares were the prize everyone at Dorsey International was after, which explained why the family manor had been unusually crowded lately.

The second son's family is gone, and the third might as well be dead, having not contacted the family for years. And Victoria? What can a woman do with stocks? Those side branches are nothing but wolves. Your grandfather isn't blind; we've got the best shot." "Father, you're absolutely right." Antonio's handsface was a mask of respect, but his eyes gleamed shrewdly. William patted his shoulder, pleased. "If you could marry a well-connected socialite, your grandfather would think even more highly of you. After all, Max still doesn't have any kids." Antodidn't respond, his smile cold. But William had already begun mentally sifting through potential brides. When they reached Antonio's place, the car cto a stop. After stepping out, Antowalked into his villa and saw someone waiting in the living room. His demeanor instantly becrespectful. "Sir." The villa was spacious, and the seated man idly swirled his glass, his fingertips unnaturally pale. Antowaited, head bowed, for his command.
"How's the old man?" "Grandfather's holding up well." The man scoffed, a thin smile on his lips. "Your father deliberately leaked Dorsey International's inside information. You have evidence, don't you?" "I will personally report it to grandfather." "Not bad, willing to sacrifice family for justice." "Father's always played shallow games. When he targeted Uncle

end up like my second uncle."
As Antospoke, his face bore a smile devoid of emotion. "Father only I'm wants grandfather's shares, but I'm different. I want the entirety of Dorsey International."
