Chapter 773: As Long as He Can Protect Her
Grandpa and grandson look at each other silently, their eyes filled with stubbornness that they will make no concession.
Pehry is very clear about the old man's power. If grandpa wants to hurt Jasmine, it will be too late for him to stop his grandpa.
No matter what happens, Pehry can take a risk and fight, except when it comes to the matter of Jasmine.
She is so unique that he cannot bear losing her.
After a long silence, Pehry takes a deep breath and looks at the old man in front of him. He cannot see a trace of affability, only endless stubbornness and calmness.
He stares at the old man's eyes and says word by word, "doesn't you always want me to come back and inherit the position of the family. As long as you promise me not to hurt Jasmine, I will listen to you."
During these years, even though Pehry has been managing the business of the Red Club, it is only a clubhouse after all. Its subsidiary hotels are legal and much more formal.
However, Pehry's family amasses wealth as a gangdom organization. Although the old man isn't against Pehry's business, he still feels that it is a waste of time.
There are still a lot of things Pehry needs to do at home, so it's better to go back than deal with other matters.
He should take over the family business and give up his own.
However, although it seems easy, it is extremely difficult for Pehry. Back then, his grandpa ruined his parents' relationships because of it, and now it is his turn. History repeats again, nothing changed.
Hearing this, the old man is stunned.
Actually, before Pehry comes, the old man reminded himself that he would make no concession on this matter. He endures Pehry for a long time, and wants to persuade Pehry this time. He doesn't expect that Pehry will agree with him so quickly.
Although he makes up his mind to be determined, as soon as he hears Pehry's words, he cannot help but hesitate.
He asked Pehry to come back to inherit the family's business many times, only to be interrupted halfway. Pehry is not willing to hear his words, let alone agrees to come back.
The old man knows it is an important matter for Pehry. He definitely won't promise randomly. So when he says yes, he really makes his promise.
Should he agree?
The old man frowns. He really wants to say no because he doesn't need a person who comes to the company for a woman's sake. But when he thinks of Pehry's performance, he doesn't refuse Pehry.
He really hopes that Pehry can inherit the family business. His son is unreliable, so he can only rely on his grandson.
Otherwise, their family's reputation will be far inferior to others after years.
Therefore, he changes his tone and asks in a seemingly friendly tone, "Listen to me? Are you sure?"
Pehry nods without thinking, "Yes. I'm sure."
The old man looks at Pehry's extremely serious expression and thinks for a moment before saying, "How about this? You come back to inherit your family's property, and discuss everything with me. You should keep me informed. Then I guarantee that I will definitely not hurt Jasmine."
Inherit the family business.
It wouldn't surprise Pehry if he has to take over the business. However, when he needs to face it, he still feels a bit uncomfortable.
He doesn't know if it is because of his childhood or because of his parents. To him, inheritance is not just about accepting a job or returning to a certain position. It is more like a helpless compromise. He doesn't reconcile with his past. Even if he agrees to come back, it is just another kind of torment. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
But now, he has no choice but to agree for Jasmine.
"As long as you promise not to hurt Jasmine, I will never go back on my word." The premise of his agreement is Jasmine's well-being.
Although the old man is not satisfied with Pehry's obsession with the girl, he knows which is more important. At the moment, it seems that this is the only chance for Pehry to return to his family business.
That girl can be dealt with at any time, but Pehry can't come back at any time.
Thinking of this, the old man finally agrees and nods. "Alright, I'll give you three days. Hand over the things on hand. The Red Club can be brought in. As for the other industries, you'd better find someone to take over."
Pehry is calm when he hears this, his expression extremely cold. However, as long as he comes up with it, and as long as he agrees, he is ready to accept everything.
"Alright."
The old man sizes him up and down and says, "Then I'll call your uncle back this afternoon. Let's have dinner together. You should also know the family's current situation from him."
Pehry secretly grits his teeth, "Alright."
Then, news of his company's independence quickly spreads out. Ordinary people don't know about it, but people in their circle, notice every minor change.
Rex directly calls, "Pehry, what's the situation recently?"
As friends for so many years, there is no need for them to talk in a roundabout way.
Pehry can tell the worry in his words. But compared to Rex, he is much calmer. "I've taken over my family's business. In the future, other than the Red Club, my personal property should be left to someone else to take care of."
Rex frowns, "Who?"
"I don't know. Maybe a professional manager."
Rex lets out a deep breath and finally realizes it is so unusual. "You aren't even prepared to find someone to take over. Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"
Pehry's throat is a little dry, "My family asks me to do something."
Family?
Rex is even more confused. He knows that Pehry is not a person who will compromise because of his family's arrangements. Otherwise, he will not be on bad terms with his family for so many years.
Rex's tone suddenly becomes serious, "Pehry, is something wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, but the situation has changed. I have to come back and take over first."
Even without Jasmine, the old man will still find a way to make him come back. However, compared to now, he may not be so passive.
So what can he do? From the moment he was born, his future life was planned.
He can't change.
Rex doesn't believe his casual and seemingly indifferent words, "Pehry, if you still think I'm your friend, just tell me what's going on."
He definitely won't believe Pehry is fine because Pehry put every effort to manage the Red Club.
No matter what happens, Rex wants to support him. This is the most important thing.
However, when he hears Pehry's reply, everything becomes clear. Rex realizes that this matter is beyond his ability.
Pehry's voice instantly becomes hoarse. "The old man doesn't agree that I should be with Jasmine. If I want to keep her safe, I should come back."
