Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2674: Chapter 1921: ”Partner” Robert

While Robert opened his heart to Bai Xiaosheng, he kept his gaze fixed on Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes to show his sincerity. What he said came from the heart, and he was serious.

Bai Xiaosheng gazed at him, nodded slowly, then glanced at Lorna in the distance and remarked, ”It seems Mr. Robert has truly found someone he loves this time, and his feelings are genuine.”

Not allowing his sister to harm his beloved, even at the cost of preemptive action, ”preventing trouble before it arises.”

This indeed has the style of the Caroline Family.

”My actions are not just for my love, but also for my identity, my status, and... everything that belongs to me!”

Robert candidly told Bai Xiaosheng, ”I’ve decided to reclaim everything I deserve in the family. I am the future Family Head!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

A man with ambition can find sufficient motivation and fortitude.

Coupled with the inspiration from love, such a person is worth cooperating with.

”So what do you intend to do, Mr. Robert?” Bai Xiaosheng asked again.

Truth be told, Bai Xiaosheng had some guesses in mind.

Robert leaned in and lowered his voice, ”I’ll find a way to return to our family’s residence in the short term. There, I have some trustworthy people. When the time comes, I’m willing to provide you all the help I can—any intelligence concerning Caroline. I hope you can kick her out of Zhenbei Group!”

”Afterward, I’ll take back everything that originally belonged to me from her!”

Robert’s gaze was determined, clearly resolved, even if he hadn’t approached Bai Xiaosheng, he might have sought someone else.

Bai Xiaosheng pondered for a moment and said slowly, ”Mr. Robert, frankly, you and I have no friendship, and there are even some grudges between us. You and Caroline are close relatives, and I can’t think of a reason I should trust you.”

What Bai Xiaosheng said was also only human nature.

However, he actually already believed Robert’s words.

A person might lie, but it’s not easy to deceive in expression and detail.

Especially when pretending in front of Bai Xiaosheng, it’s even harder.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t necessarily need Robert to pledge a token of sincerity, but he wanted to see how determined he was.

Robert seemed to have considered this issue long ago. Once Bai Xiaosheng asked, he calmly responded, ”Words as proof, even if I were to make elaborate claims, it would be useless. I’ve already been relegated here, and what I have are the family’s businesses in this area. You may take everything, just give me a reasonable excuse to account to the family, as I still need a legitimate way to return. I’ll leave you various documents signed by me, which, though cannot directly prove any collusion between us, will be enough for my family to take my last bit of power away from me due to error. Leaving me with absolutely nothing!”

It seems Robert is truly desperate, even willing to wager everything he has left.

Bai Xiaosheng stared at him and smiled, ”Do you trust me that much?”

Once Bai Xiaosheng seizes everything from him and betrays him, he won’t just be left with nothing; he might die with grievances.

Robert looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said solemnly, ”Ever since you thwarted Caroline, I’ve been observing everything about you. I’ve analyzed repeatedly what kind of person you are. As an enemy, you’re formidable, but as an ally, you’re reliable.”

”Do you trust your judgment that much?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile.

Robert also smiled, ”What value do I have for you to cheat? No value before, and likely none after. Currently, I am but a scorned man by the family; deceiving me won’t trouble Caroline the slightest bit, nor gain you any benefit. On the contrary, if you cooperate with me, I can be the person close to Caroline to help you against her!”

”Although you might not fear Caroline, from what I know of her, she will persistently target and scheme against you, like a venomous snake.”

”With her position in Zhenbei Group and our family’s resources supporting her, it’s not easy for you to act against her. Isn’t that right?”

Robert’s analysis was clear, even fathoming Bai Xiaosheng’s thoughts.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Robert, silently impressed.

Indeed, worthy of being from a prominent family, even if once a prodigal son, upon turning over a new leaf, he commands admiration.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded slightly, ”You’ve convinced me, I’m willing to collaborate with you.”

Speaking, Bai Xiaosheng even extended his hand proactively.

Robert shook hands with Bai Xiaosheng and smiled, ”This decision will certainly not disappoint you!”

The two reached an agreement swiftly.

At the side, Lorna suddenly stood up and headed straight out the door.

Bai Xiaosheng and Robert both noticed but didn’t mind.

Bai Xiaosheng said to Robert, ”Mr. Robert, let me remind you once more, your sister Caroline is no ordinary person, akin to a phoenix in human guise. If you falter, I fear she may silently trap me instead. I hope you know I’m also taking a huge risk.”

”What happened today, only you and I know, and all future contacts will be made personally by me,” Robert said without hesitation, ”Even those closest to me won’t know, and if discovered, I’ll never betray you, as it brings me no advantage.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”Mr. Robert is thorough and principled. I genuinely hope you can dominate the family’s business, then I’d like to partner with you.”

Hearing this, Robert’s eyes flashed, and he nodded solemnly.

”Alright, we’ll collaborate on business then!”

The conversation between the two was temporarily concluded, and the coffee was nearly finished, so they both stood up and walked out.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying noticed and naturally stood up to greet them.

”Where’s Lorna? Why did she leave?” Robert couldn’t help but ask Lin Weiwei.

Lin Weiwei saw Bai Xiaosheng and Robert chatting happily, shaking hands, and even reaching some understanding, indicating they were allies, not foes.

At the moment, facing Robert’s question, Lin Weiwei politely responded, ”Oh, Miss Lorna said she remembered she hadn’t bought your favorite snacks, and they’re just across the road, so she went out to get some.”

Upon hearing this, Robert’s expression softened, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

Observing his expression, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but think to herself: That’s the look lovers have, it seems Mr. Robert is truly fond of Miss Lorna.

”Let’s go. I think Miss Lorna should have finished shopping,” Bai Xiaosheng said beside him.

Robert nodded at this, and stepped towards the door.

Bai Xiaosheng and the three followed him out.

Lin Weiwei suddenly remembered something, couldn’t help but feel a bit ”concerned,” and muttered to herself, ”Hopefully, Miss Lorna has money with her now...”
