King's Back

Glancing at Jackson in surprise, Dolcie sneered disdainfully, "Are you out of your mind? Do you know what you are talking about?"

"As long as you believe me." Jackson said confidently.

It was the first time that Dolcie saw him talk so seriously, and when she was dazed, she somehow believed it.

“No more jokes. It's not gonna happen. I only hope that Elder Madam can pay more attention to us."

At this moment, Elder Madam sitting on the main table sighed. Morgan hurriedly asked, "Grandma, today is your birthday. Why do you sigh?"

"Today should be a happy day, but there's still one thing that bothers me a lot. The cooperation with Jandar Group has not been settled, and I can't feel at ease.”

Jandar Group was ranked in the 3 among the largest private groups in Y City. It had many branch companies with an annual profit of more than one billion. It was a truly large consortium.

"If we can cooperate with Jandar Group, then the Clark family will have nothing to worry about in the next decade.”

"An old woman like me can't live much longer. If we can cooperate with Jandar further, then our family will have strong backing, and I can pass away in peace.”

The guests were surprised at her words.

"Elder Madam, today is your birthday, and you will absolutely live a long life."

Elder Madam waved her hand and said, "Stop flattering me. Today is my birthday, and I'll make a promise. Whoever can make this cooperation come true, I will try my best to satisfy his wish! Members of the Clark family, I shall keep my words."

After her words, the relatives were all the more surprised. From the trace of determination in her eyes, they could predict that she would not refuse to give out the position as the leader of the Clark family, if someone asked that as a wish.

Morgan's eyes were on fire, and he was about to take the offer immediately. But then when he thought of Jandar Group, he didn't speak up.

He once visited the chairman of the Jandar Group, but he was not welcomed at all, not given a chance to enter the chairman's office.

The cooperation was not an easy task.

Morgan's father, Asher Clark, said to Elder Madam, "Mom, it's not easy for big company like Jandar to cooperate with someone less powerful. Don't worry. We will try hard.”

"Heh, what's the point for you guys to try hard, the chairman still shut his door. Jandar thinks that the Clark family is too small to cooperate with."

Everyone didn't dare to speak.

"So no one dares to take the offer today?" Elder Madam asked with dissatisfaction.

Honestly, she wasn't really forcing them to settle the cooperation. What she wanted to see was the attitude of the younger generation, but to her disappointment, no one dared to respond.

Dolcie also knew the Jandar group, which was well-known in Y City, but it was also the first time she heard that the Clark family wanted to cooperate with Jandar Group. It made sense though, how would someone tell her about the Clark family business.

Seeing Dolcie was interested, Jackson touched her and suggested, "Just take the offer.”

Dolcie was obviously startled and asked, "What...what did you say?" "You should take the offer. You will be the one to negotiate with Jandar, so that you can earn the approval from Elder Madam, right?"

Dolcie was moved. Jackson was right, now that the cooperation with the Jandar Group was the concern of Elder Madam. If she could solve the problem, then Elder Madam and the relatives would have an about- turn over her and her family.

She was unable to resist the impulse, and stood up to say, "Grandma, I will do it!"

All the relatives on the main table turned to Dolcie with surprise. If not for Dolcie's words, everyone would have forgotten her existence.

"You? What makes you so brave, your company is only worth a few dollars. You're not qualified to negotiate with the boss of Jandar Group!" Morgan smiled contemptuously.

"Dolcie, this is not a joke. You will be representing the Clark family. If you took a false step, then our family will have a rough ride in Y City.” "It's not that we look down on you. Your father is mediocre, so I guess you wouldn't be any better than him. Elder Madam, I don't think it is alright to leave this to her.”

All the relatives shook their heads disappointedly when they saw Dolcie stood up.

In fact, Dolcie regretted it as soon as she stood up. She did want to prove herself. But it was such a big task beyond her capacity. And she would become a laughingstock if she went back on her word.

Elder Madam squeezed her eyes and felt disappointed. She didn't expect Dolcie to speak up, how could a woman be part of such an important family business.

But since she had made her promise, she couldn't break it for sure. "Alright Dolcie, I will leave this to you for now, but remember, don't offend the Jandar Group no matter what."

"Yes, grandma." Dolcie agreed nervously.

"Dolcie, now that you take the offer, what if you can't do it?" Morgan asked playfully.

Dolcie frowned and asked back, "What do you want?"

"If you succeed, your father can return to the Clark family. But if you fail, from then on, you will be out of the Clark family forever, how about that?"

Dolcie hesitated, what it cost seemed too much for her.

But at this moment, Jackson nodded at her with a confident smile. How could he be so confident? Did he have some sort of connection with the Jandar Group?

Thinking of that, she gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Okay, I promise you!"

After saying that, Dolcie left. Jackson followed casually with his hands in the pockets.

"A poor wretch with a wimpish son-in-law, what a perfect match.”

After the birthday banquet was over, Elder Madam watched the servants pack the gifts and take them to the Clark family mansion. "Elder Madam, what about this Bronze Pot?" A servant came over and asked.

"Why you even ask, of course throw it away. It would not be too shameful to put this kind of garbage in this house!" Morgan answered for Elder Madam.

Elder Madam glanced at him coldly. Morgan realized he had talked too much and shut up immediately.

"Just throw it away." Elder Madam ordered casually.

All of a sudden, an old man came over and said hurriedly, "Wait!"

Elder Madam smiled and said, "Master Wills, you haven't left yet.”

The Elder Master Wills was a well-known connoisseur in Y City, who possessed a pair of sharp eyes that had never missed out any real treasures.

But Elder Master Wills completely ignored Elder Madam. He came to the Bronze Pot with a look of excitement, and stroked on the patterns on the pot with his trembling hands. He was too excited to speak. "Master Wills, this thing was sent by a wimp. It is really shameful to place it here. I'll throw it out immediately.”

"Shut your mouth!" Master Wills shouted abruptly.

"You're so ignorant, this Bronze Pot is a priceless treasure. Last time at the Sotheby's auction, another pot that looked similar to this one was sold at a sky-high price of 50 million! *

Elder Madam and Morgan were both startled. This Bronze Pot... is so expensive?

"Oh my Lord, Elder Madam, I'm afraid that the total value of your countless collections is less than a fraction of this pot.”

"Elder Madam, who sent this to you? Hurry up, take me to him. He must have a really good relationship with your family to give out such an expensive gift."

Elder Madam's face trembled, and she became speechless in shock.
