A Trust-fund Baby novel Chapter 69

It was ten o’clock last night in a private room of an upscale hotel. .Juliet and Robbie sat opposite. Juliet looked at Robbie wearing a white suit, crossing legs. Deep down, she could not help feeling a little resentful.

She thought, in the future if Robbie was in charge of the Shaw family, the wealth of the Shaw family for decades would be destroyed. From childhood to adulthood, Juliet had been looking down on this cousin. If it were that she needed his help, she would not meet Robbie alone.

Robbie smoked a cigarette and asked Juliet, “Juliet, what do you from me?”

Juliet smiled gently and took a sip of tea and said to Robbie, “Robbie, I heard that you went to find Diana and was thrown out by the security guard today? Ha ha, aren’t you angry?”

Robbie sneered, “You got slapped by Judson too. Do you want me to teach Judson a lesson? Juliet, why should I listen to you? Haven't you always looked down on me? Don't you always behave well in front of grandma? Ha ha...”

Juliet was stiff on her face and looked at Robbie incredibly.

“Ha ha...” Robbie sneered, “Juliet, I am foppish, but I am not a fool. You want to use me. Do you think that's possible?”

Juliet took a deep look at Robbie and then smiled, “Robbie, since you know it in your heart, I will go to the point. Now the company business is getting worse and the three most profitable projects had been robbed. And four of our partners have stopped cooperating with us today. If the company goes on like this, it is estimated that the company will lose a lot of money this year, and it is not sure that the company can continue to run...”

Robbie frowned. Juliet chuckled and poured a cup of tea to Robbie, “Robbie, even if we don’t like each other, this is the matter of our family. But Judson is an outsider. Now Judson is the executive of the Ray Group, and Diana seems to be more and more concerned about him. If Diana really likes Judson, with Judson and Diana’s status, do you think grandma will let Diana go back to the company? And will she give the company to Diana after she dies?”

“Impossible! Diana is married! She...” Robbie suddenly realized something and immediately stopped speaking. Then his face turned completely pale.

Juliet leaned her body to Robbie, “Yes, you are right. Judson is a live-in son-in-law! In the future he and Diana's children will be surnamed Shaw! Then the Shaw family can be completely given to Diana! And with Diana’s position in the Ray Group, if she returned to Shaw family, do you have chances to inherit the family?”

Robbie was uncomfortable about Juliet's attitude. He couldn't help but reply, “How about your chances?”

Juliet returned to her seat and took a sip of tea with a smile. Then she put the cup on the table, lowered her head, and tapped the cup with her slender white fingers. “You are the eldest grandson of the Shaw family and the first heir of the third generation of the Shaw family. I have no right to inherit the Shaw family. Mr. Brown has been approaching me, and his family is much bigger than our family. I wanted to have the Shaw family's property before the Shaw family's accident, but now? Ha ha...I'm sorry I don't want it now.”

Robbie changed his expression, picked up the cup to drink tea, “Juliet... I am your cousin, you can't turn a blind eye to me. We cannot give the property of the Shaw family to Judson!”

Juliet raised her head and looked at Robbie. “I am 28 years old now, and I will get married next year. In your words, I have nothing to do with the Shaw family.”

Robbie stood up, went to Juliet and said excitedly, “Juliet, please help me. We have grown up together. After I take over the Shaw family, I will give you 20% shares, how do you think?”

Juliet continued to knock on the teacup, “20% is too little, at least 30%...”

Robbie nodded without hesitation, “Ok, deal. But now you have to help me out, or else you won't get any money if the company really goes bankrupt. At that time, if the Shaw family is doomed, the Brown family will look down on you after you marry into the family. If the company can be kept, and Brown family cooperates with us, we will have a bright future...”

Juliet frowned. Robbie was a dude, but he was right. If the Shaw family was really over, Mr. Brown would look down on her. Without her family background, she was just a beautiful vase. Besides, many girls were much prettier than her. The marriage of big family valued equal family!

Mr. Brown seemed to love her, but if the Shaw family was over, she knew Mr. Brown would not marry her. Even he would, she would suffer after she married in the family!

So that was why she came to Robbie tonight. Juliet was clever. For so many years, she let Shaw family realized that she wanted to contend for Shaw's inheritance right. But she had no intention of doing so. She was a woman who only wanted to enjoy benefits, not to give. What she wanted was to restrict the Shaw family with the Brown family and restrict the Brown family with the Shaw family, so that she could control the two families. This was her real purpose!

Juliet's ambition was not small!

Juliet nodded to Robbie, “Robbie, in fact, the way to break the game is very simple. The Ray Group must be behind the accident of the Shaw family. Then we can start from the Ray Group.”

Robbie said with a bitter face, “I know, but I don’t know the high level of Ray Group. I'm just a dandy. I am good at hooking up with girls, but I am not good at doing business.”

Juliet shook her head and smiled, “Wrong, you know the high level of Ray Group. You have a friend named Clark Plummer. George Plummer, his father's company had just been bought by the Ray Group, and George Plummer is now the seventh vice president of the Ray Group. Even Jake Plummer, his brother is now an executive of the Ray Group...”

Robbie was bright in eyes, but then asked, “You are right, Clark wanted to approach Diana last year. But at that time Diana’s father had just died, she did not pay attention to him. Juliet, you are smarter than me, tell me what I should do. I'll do as you said...”

Juliet deeply despised Robbie. But it was good Robbie was controlled.

Juliet said to Robbie, “Let Clark go to grandma saying he wants to marry Diana. With the status of the Plummer family, grandma will agree. Then she will have no chance to compete with you for Shaw family property. And then with the help of the vice president of Ray Group, Shaw's difficulties will be overcome. The scale of the Shaw Company will be expanded several times...”

Robbie nodded his head. But his face changed again, “Juliet, I heard my father said, Bruce, the president of Ray Group personally invited Diana on grandma's birthday party. Do you think Bruce has fancy on Diana? Is he going after Diana?”

Juliet sneered in disdain, “No way, do you think Bruce with that status will go after a married woman? Just for fun at best. Isn't that what's going on in this world? I was still thinking why Judson entered the Ray Group to work. It seems to be the arrangement of Bruce. So you don't have to worry about that. If Diana marries into Plummer family, George and Jake are his employees, it will be more convenient.”

Juliet said, showing a malicious dirty smile...

Robbie nodded, “Ok, we say some good words about Clark to grandma. If grandma agrees, Diana cannot refuse.”

Robbie said, standing behind Juliet, massaging Juliet shoulders. Juliet smiled and took a sip of tea. “Of course... I sure will help you...”
