Chapter 956 The FS Empire

Chatting and laughing, the six sat together, their smiles a reflection of the happy times.

"Oh, I almost forgot it. I have one thing to tell you and Jackson," Mond said in a serious tone, as he turned to look at Cherry.

"What is it? Tell me, I'm all ears," Cherry replied in a casual tone.

"I am planning to go abroad so I can stay with Natalie and her mother. I will then leave the working of ZM Group to Lawrence," Mond declared.

This announcement left all the others silent. Wilson, Derek, and Selina had their gaze focused on Lawrence's parents.

Surprised, Cherry and Jackson glanced at each other dumbfounded.

Jackson narrowed his eyes towards Mond, and asked, "Are you not going to return ever?"

"I will return. But I don't know when that would be," Mond replied honestly. He had no intention of hiding his plans from Jackson and Cherry. Looking at their confused expressions, he explained, "Natalie has grown up. I have barely kept her company the last few years. I owe her a lot. Now I want to be a good father to her. Before she gets married, I want to spend some more time with her."

On hearing this, Cherry and Jackson became engrossed in their thoughts. 'I understand. He isn't joking. He must have thought all about this before making this decision, ' they mused.

Wilson and Selina exchanged glances and nodded to each other in agreement. The former then said to Cherry, "I and Selina have also thought a lot and decided to let Lawrence take over the H King Group."

"Wilson, you..." Cherry was too shocked to even continue her sentence.

"Cherry, Jackson, you know that Austin has been abroad for a long time now. I don't think he intends to take over the H King Group. So we decided to let Lawrence run our company. We can't trust anyone else apart from him," Selina expounded.

"Oh, yeah, we both have become old. It's time to leave our business to the younger generation to handle," Wilson supported her.

When Derek heard this, he became agitated. Transfixing his eyes on Jackson, he broke in eagerly, "You haven't forgotten what I had told you earlier, have you?"

Jackson nodded his head. Of course he had remembered Derek's proposal as well. But he was taken by great surprise that his son might have to take charge of three companies now.

"What do you think of this, honey?" Cherry turned and asked for her husband's opinion. 'I can't make a decision on Lawrence's behalf. These are very important matters. I should first listen to Jackson's opinion, ' she decided.

After a long pause, Jackson opened his mouth. "Are you sure about the decisions you have made?" he asked with a scowl.

"Yes, I am," Mond replied with a firm look.

Derek and Wilson nodded in reply too.
