Chapter 191 

The secretary quickly switched on the TV and flipped to the news channel.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was ‘Three O’clock News’ again. 

Joseph’s handsome brows furrowed as he watched the news program, still in a bad mood after the incident where Balin City’s project had been stolen last time. 

“Welcome everyone to ‘Three O’clock News! Let’s start off by broadcasting today’s headline news. Last night, the internationally renowned film star, Ada Wang, touched down in Medo and drew the attention of countless admirers and the press.” 

“It was said that Ada had come to Medo to fulfill her mother’s desire and have her nuptials in her mother’s hometown, Medo. Beforehand, Sawle Group and KS WORLD had been vigorously competing for the privilege to host Ada’s wedding.” 

“After days of deliberation, Ada eventually settled on the perfect hotel in her mind.” 

Joseph’s mouth was parched and his throat constricted, his gaze fixed to the screen like a nail. 

“That is, KS WORLD. I must congratulate them on achieving their goal and successfully taking over Ada’s wedding!” Joseph’s heart sank, his ears buzzed, and a piercing pain exploded through his avatar in an instant. 

Meanwhile, a hint of joy was evident on Skyler’s face. 

The more the situation deteriorated, the less useful Joseph became, increasing her opportunity to take control! 

After that, Ada was the focus of attention. She accepted an interview on the ‘Three O’clock News’ and simply explained why she had chosen KS WORLD. 

Ada said, “The Sawle Group is a great hotel, but I’m more partial to the wedding plan offered by KS WORLD. It’s not a reflection on the hotel’s quality; it’s just my personal preference…” 

Jake had had enough. He grabbed the remote, switched off the TV, and flung it onto the table. 

“Ah, now you don’t have to worry about short-term wins and losses. You’ve lost it all! Not only did you fail to ruin Ada’s wedding, but you also caused a commotion last night. Now that you’ve gotten yourself into this mess, how do you plan to get out of it?” 

Joseph’s face was pallid. Just as his slender lips parted, Skyler hastened to console him, “Oh, Dad, please relax. Your body won’t be able to handle it if you get so enraged.” 

Aubree taught Ada deeply, and Ada spoke for Joseph, knowing that the more she did this, the stronger Jake’s hatred for Joseph would become. “Ada also stated that this was her own choice, not related to the power of Sawle Group.” 

“Furthermore, Second Brother had done all he could in this situation. If you’re looking for someone to blame, it should be Chloe for her devious and contemptible behavior. She was very shrewd!” 

“We fight in the corporate world, you come and go, there is no shortage of cunning in battle.” 

“Chloe didn’t do anything wrong,” Joseph said, giving Skyler a cold look. 

Skyler gritted her teeth, her expression dark. She thought to herself, “The marriage is already over. Now he still tries to protect her? What’s going through his mind?” 

The more you try to shield Chloe, the deeper you are digging your own grave! 

“Joseph, did you intentionally give Chloe water and intentionally lose to her?” Jake asked coldly. 

“No,” Joseph said, lowering his eyelids. 

“I must remind you that you have divorced the Thorp family girl. She has no further connection to the Sawle Group! To be frank, when I see you again, you two will be enemics. We won’t even be friends!” 

“That girl has ulterior motives; her actions are sinister. She’s been looking for trouble with us, but I didn’t make things hard for her because you two were once married. That doesn’t mean I’m going to keep letting her get away with it!” Jake’s neck muscles tensed and he slammed his fist on the table, clearly enraged. 

Joseph fixedly stared at Jake’s enraged and contorted face. His peach blossom eyes were blazing red and his fists were clenched like iron in the darkness. 

“Joseph, are you attempting to defy me? What kind of look is that?!” 

Jake’s fierce exterior belied his inner weakness; his heart trembled. 

When the child’s biological mother leapt from the building in a fatal attempt at suicide, the kid stared at her with a cold, 

venomous gaze. 

Even to this day, when he gazes into his own biological son’s eyes, a psychological shadow remains that cannot be erased. 

“I divorced Chloe,” Joseph said, taking a step closer and fixing his dark, angry eyes on the other person. “Even though she’s not mine anymore, you’d better not even consider getting close to her.” 

Jake’s shoulders trembled as he and his son locked eyes, confronting one another. 

Skyler was taken aback by the man’s intense gaze. 

But she still secretly calmed herself. She forced a smile and walked around the table behind Jake, rubbing his shoulders. “Dad, Chloe’s not worth it – you and second brother shouldn’t be arguing like this.” 

“Although she had the advantage for the time being, it wasn’t the end yet. It was still uncertain who would come out victorious.” 

“Skyler,” Jake heard her implication and hastily inquired, “from what you’re saying, do you have a means of regaining a city?” 

“Dad, if you’re willing to give me an opportunity and let me take full accountability for Ada’s goals, I’m sure I can win her back!” 

“Although she has already declared that her wedding will take place at KS WORLD,” Skyler said with a solemn smile, “this kind of thing can’t keep up with the shifting plans. Don’t you agree?” 

Joseph’s eyebrows, sharp as swords, folded coldly. 

He still understood his half-mother’s younger sister, despite her ambition to have a certain degree of power in the Sawle Group. It was a pity that she was both smart and foolish; her ambition far exceeded her capabilities. 

This time, she boldly faced him in competition, as if victory was her only option. 

Were there no suspicious elements to this, not even a ghost would find it hard to believe! 

“Fantastic! Just as I anticipated from the daughter I hold in highest esteem. She has a brave heart and a determined spirit!” 

Jake smiled with satisfaction and held Skyler’s hand tightly. “I’ll leave the planning of Ada’s wedding up to you! You and your younger brother will take care of it soon!” 

“Joseph, don’t get involved in this situation right now, otherwise you might not get along with Chloe. Let Skyler handle it!” 

Joseph’s face was cold and silent. 

Jake would not reward him for his commendable actions, but if he was wrong, Jake would swiftly punish him and refute him. 

Firstly, he looked down on this illegitimate child from the bottom of his heart, and secondly, he feared that the child would be highly respected and guarded against him. 

“Thank you, Daddy, for giving me this chance!” Skyler embraced Jake tightly. 

“If this endeavor is successful, I will reward you handsomely!” 

“What do you want? Why don’t you tell me first? Seaview Villa? Or a top sports car?” Jake asked with a grin. 

“No, I don’t desire any 

of them.” 

“As your daughter, a member of the Sawle Group family, I too want to help the Sawle Group,” Skyler rolled her eyes. 

“If I successfully remove Ada, can I assume the role of General Manager of Sawle Group Hotel from this point forward?” 

“I’m confident that if given the opportunity, my management skills will be on par with Chloe’s!” 

Joseph took a deep breath, his thin lips twitching coldly. 

It became apparent that this was what Skyler had desired. 

“Alright, I promise you! If this situation can demonstrate your capability, I’ll be reassured and hand the hotel over to you!” Jake agreed. 

“Thanks, Dad,” Skyler said icily, shooting a cold glance at Joseph. 

It was as if, upon taking charge of the hotel, she had already foreseen Joseph’s miserable state.
