Chapter 466 A Brilliant Successor
“But Cherise’s adoptive parents raised her well. You should learn from her.”
Then, he turned to Cherise and seemed pleased with her. “I’ll leave her to your guidance.”
Gwenn was left speechless.
She had said those words to make Beckham feel guilty.
Yet…
Beckham regarded her as immature. He even asked Cherise to educate her.
I don’t want this country bumpkin to teach me anything!
On the other hand, Jacob watched the scene unfold with glee.
He turned to Beckham and smiled. “I’ll leave Mr. Aaron’s medicine with you.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my clinic.”
Then, he turned around and left without bothering to check Gwenn and Cherise’s reactions.
Once he left Lenoir Manor, he immediately called Damien. “I finally figured out why your dear Cherise is so adorably silly.”
“She got it from her father!”
He understood what Gwenn’s words meant. She implied Beckham had no right to call her immature. Even if she was, it was because Beckham failed to educate her.
However, Beckham did not notice anything strange about her words. Instead, he was happy to have Cherise teach Gwenn good manners. He was pleased not to have to teach her himself.
Jacob imagined how furious Gwenn must be.
Meanwhile, Damien chuckled on the other end. “Sounds like they got along quite well.”
Jacob opened the car door and put on a Bluetooth earpiece. He shrugged indifferently. “I didn’t expect Cherise to have such an incredible and unique background.”
“It turns out she was not only Beckham Tanner’s daughter, but also the daughter of the head of the Miles family…”
“She’s now above your social status.”
“Aren’t
you
worried her parents might find your family background too lowly for their daughter?”
Damien laughed into the phone. “I suppose Lenoir Group would seem inferior to them.”
“But you forgot I have a few major corporations in Europe. Even the companies under Lennon’s name
are mine.”
Jacob smacked his forehead. “Ah, you’re right.”
“You’re always so secretive.”
“If you didn’t remind me, I would have almost forgotten that you founded many corporations alone.”
“With all those corporations combined, they should make you almost as influential as the Tanner and Miles families.”
“Moreover, you have the advantage of being young. Surprisingly, you created massive business empires overseas while remaining in Adania.”
Jacob laughed and continued, “Looking at this, should I congratulate you and Cherise for making such a advantageous match? Or should I congratulate the Tanner and Miles families for discovering such a
brilliant successor?”
“Successor?”
Damien’s tone contained a hint of mockery. “I guess I might succeed the Tanner family.”
“But the Miles family…”
There’s still Zachary and his group of siblings waiting to inherit it.
But two years ago, Charisa, the head of the Miles family, declared that any of the younger generations who married Charise would inherit the Miles family’s properties.
Of all these people, only Zachary knows Cherise’s identity for now.
Once we hold the wedding, others from the Miles family will discover Cherise’s existence.
What happens next will be complete chaos.
“Damien.”
Jacob bit his lip and looked into the distance. “Do you have any pretentious neighbors living near your place?”
Damien frowned and shook his head. “No, why do you ask?”
“I…”
Jacob nearly dropped his phone. “I saw a convoy of luxury cars… They… They are heading toward your
house.”
