Chapter: 749
Still, he couldn’t pass up this lucrative opportunity, especially since BRD Group had thrown their hat into the bidding competition.
The current bidding had far surpassed his initial expectations.
However, BRD Group’s involvement only served to bolster Darian’s confidence in the immense profitability of this project. There
was no way he could back out now.
Numerous parties had their eyes fixated on this project, and securing the bid required considerable investment and a well-
established network.
Darian had wagered heavily to acquire this project. He took a tremendous gamble that put almost everything he had at risk.
To establish crucial connections, he spared no expense. He was on the precipice of success, but his financial resources were
struggling to support him at this critical point.
Darian had dug through every possible avenue to ensure his ultimate triumph, yet a significant funding gap was left.
The one possible solution lay in SJ Entertainment.
The company held significant funds, prompting Darian to contemplate embezzling from them.
However, moving such a substantial amount of funds presented its own set of challenges.
Adrian, now the chairman of SJ Entertainment, was a hands-off person who showed little interest in the day-to-day operations of
the business. He rarely set foot in the company, leaving most of the high-level positions in the hands of Darian’s trusted
associates.
Theodore stood as the sole obstacle in his path.
Darian had come up with plans to get rid of Theodore, even considering the drastic measure of kidnapping to exert pressure on
him.
With Theodore already stripped of his shares and Darian free from the constraints of his ex-wife’s will, everything seemed to
align perfectly for Darian.
Once Theodore was out of the picture, all would be well.
As Darian meticulously strategized his next move, Theodore unexpectedly passed away during this critical time.
When all these events came together, the sheer coincidence appeared too astonishing to ignore.
Jasper stood at Darian’s side, observing the troubled countenance etched on his face.
Confusion washed over Jasper as he asked, “Theodore is dead, why does your disquiet persist?”
Darian hid his true concerns from Jasper, but his brow furrowed as he replied, “I just have this nagging feeling that I cannot get
off my mind.”
“What cause is there for such unease?” Jasper triumphantly exclaimed, “We have seen that face for countless years. Could it
truly be a charade? Besides, we conducted a covert DNA confirmation, and the guy resting there is indeed Theodore.”
Jasper’s words succeeded in alleviating some of Darian’s worries, yet he remained only partially reassured.
Slipping his arm casually around Darian’s shoulder, Jasper asserted, “Father, relax! Ariana’s reaction just moments ago serves
as the most compelling evidence, does it not?”
Darian contemplated Ariana’s fainting spell, a result of overwhelming grief, and failed to discern any flaws in Jasper’s reasoning.
Contemplating Theodore’s usual demeanor toward Ariana, Darian finally succumbed to the belief that Theodore’s demise could
not be a sham, relinquishing his worries.
With all concerns dispelled, Darian wore a serene smile and declared, “Then have the finance department prepare and set our
plans in motion.”
