My Bossy CEO Husband

"How could it be possible?!" Brian's heart pounded against his chest so violently he could feel it bounce back at the bottom of his
throat.
Upon realizing that his mother was not joking, cold beads of sweat started to roll down the side of his head.
"Mom! What are you talking about? It's impossible."
"Why is it impossible?" Nellie retorted.
"I know Oliver Group was founded by Grandpa, but it only became the giant that it is today under Uncle Ryan's leadership.He's a
business genius! He has a steely resolve and is far more talented than me.How can I compete with such a guy?"
Ryan had long been a renowned legend in the business world.The people of Ywood viewed him like a legend.And compared to
him, Brian was nothing more than an ordinary person.How could he possibly defeat Ryan "Not only that—"
"So what is it that you're trying to say?" Nellie interrupted in a gentle voice.
"Most of the shares of the company are in Grandpa's hands.It's only logical for them to be passed down to his son, right?
Besides, except for Bruce, no one else in our family has contacted Grandpa these past few years.I haven't seen him in almost
fifteen years.Even if we were close before, I'm sure the passage of time had diluted our relationship..."
It also didn't help that his parents were driven out by his grandfather in the past.
As a result, their relationship might be even lighter than he supposed.
"Mom, what I'm saying is your idea is too impractical." Nellie chuckled.
"Impractical?"
"No.In fact, it's impossible! Mom, I have to tell you something that you might not like.You should know how determined Grandpa
was when he drove us out.At that time, he hated us so much.It was very rare that he didn't attempt to cause us trouble these
past few years.How can you expect that he'll be willing to give us any property?"
Fifteen years ago, when Jaylen and Nellie were driven out of the family, Brian was already eleven years old.
He knew exactly what happened.

Anson publicly severed his relationship with Jaylen and Nellie after they had done something so bad that it merited such a
drastic punishment.
More so, he announced that he would never give Jaylen and Nellie any property.With such a tumultuous history, how could they
reconcile so easily?
"Mom, you'd better give up this idea."
"Why?"
"First of all, I can't defeat Ryan.Second, Grandpa has also issued a public statement that he won't give us any property."
Nellie chuckled again.
"Mom..."
"First of all, Ryan is also a human, which means he has weaknesses.He's not as invincible as you think.Nellie grabbed his wrist.
"That's why I want you to marry a lady coming from a rich family.With the help of your parents-in-law, it will be possible." Brian
kept his lips pursed.
Just the very thought of Ryan was enough to strike fear in his heart.
Although Ryan was only a few years older than him, Brian was still very much afraid of him, a kind of fear that seemed rooted in
instinct.
As long his eyes would cross Ryan's cold ones, he was sure to freeze on the spot, completely debilitated by his mere aura.
To stand in his presence was already daunting in itself.To resist him would be next to impossible.
No matter how much his mother tried to reassure him, he did not believe her words at all.
If Ryan were so easy to deal with, Jaylen and Nellie would've never been kicked out fifteen years ago.
"Mom—" Nellie interrupted him again.
"Your grandpa indeed publicly announced that he won't give your dad and me any property.But he never mentioned you and
Bruce.You two still have a chance."

Brian was at a loss for words.
What her mother said made sense, but he still heavily doubted the feasibility of her idea.
‘Is it really possible?”
"Mom—"
"Don't be so eager to deny the opportunity! Brian, you should know how precious the shares of Oliver Group are! Even if you
only get a few percent, the annual revenue would be enough for you to live a carefree life.Your grandpa has at least more than
30 percent of the shares.That's an astronomical figure!"
Brian's throat tightened as he tried imagining how astronomical his grandfather's shares were.
"Your grandpa has a clear distinction between what he hates and what he likes.Even though he hates both your dad and me, he
won't have any prejudice against you and Bruce.If you can win his favor, he's likely to give you some of his shares.That should
be enough for you to squander for a lifetime! Money isn't the only benefit.If you get along with him, it will be reported by the
media, and trust me, if that happens, all the bigwigs in Ywood will show you respect!"
As his mother outlined the benefit of her plan, Brian allowed himself a brief moment to construct what that fantasy would look like
in his head.
Money! Power! Women! They were only three things worth pursuing for a man.
Money! He didn't lack it.But of course, no one disliked money.He would be more than glad to have more.Power! He didn't have
any.He was just a plain businessman.
The only reason some people looked up to him was because of his parents’ background.
There were a lot of rich people in Ywood.
And within that group, he wasn't the most outstanding.
He remembered how Ryan was respected.
To have that kind of power, it was indeed very tempting for Brian.He also had his own desires.
If he were to be rich and powerful, he would be able to attract women of all kinds.

It wasn't going to be just Wendy, but other women as well! This was the life he wanted! His eyes lit up as the fantasy in his head
took more shape.
"Mom, I'll do as you say," Brian said, his face looking determined.
Nellie's eyes lit up.
"That's good! When the storm dies down in two days, I'll prepare a gift for you to bring when you visit your grandpa."
"Okay," Brian assented.
There was one more problem lurking in the back of his mind.
"Uncle Ryan..."
"Don't worry.Your dad and I will take care of it."
Nellie looked calm and confident.
Brian sensed a deceitful vibe hiding behind his mother's eyes.He threw away the can of beer to one side and asked, "Mom, do
you have a plan in mind?"
Nellie smiled but didn't say anything.
"Mom!"
"Don't ask about anything you shouldn't know.It's not good for you.Anyway, just focus on building a good relationship with your
grandpa.As for Ryan, I won't let him have the chance to cause any trouble for you."
"Okay."
On the other hand, Jeffrey was calling Wendy.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service..."
"Shit!" Jeffrey cursed.
He hung up his phone and quickly redialed the same number only to get the same pre-recorded message.

‘Damn it!" He almost smashed his phone.
"Jeffrey, don't worry.Maybe Wendy turned off her phone to avoid the journalists.You can try her again later."
Ransom, his agent, tried to comfort him.
"Shit! How can I not be anxious? I had no idea that she was in such big trouble! Damn it! If I had known, I would've rushed back
even at the cost of breaching the contract!"
Jeffrey put away his phone and glared at Ransom.
"You have the nerve to say that? I've told you to pay more attention to the news concerning Wendy.Is this how you're doing what
I asked you to do? If I hadn't accidentally browsed the news, I would've never known that she was hurt so badly!"
Ransom rubbed his nose and didn't dare to speak.
He was wronged.
It was not that he didn't pay attention to it.
He was an agent of Glory Media.He signed a contract with them and received adequate compensation.His superior asked him to
keep what happened to Wendy a secret from Jeffrey.He was stuck serving two masters.
