Chapter 446 Patriarch’s Position
"End him?" Peter raised an eyebrow at the old man. Once Fu Jin is gone, did this old man think that Peter would let his son near Jiang Yue? "How are you planning to do that?" action
"Ending Fu Jin is very easy." It was Antonio. His nephew told him that he would like to leave Mia for Jiang Yue. Though he does not want to personally help him, he would still want to create some chances for Peter. "But having Jiang Yue hate us more is not." Based on Jiang Yue’s personality, she would definitely investigate and avenge her man’s death.
"I believe that she used the technology that she acquired from the Li Family to attack our shipments," he added calmly. "This only means that she could do it again and again. She could even do it now to exterminate us."

Antonio was right, if they anger Jiang Yue then she might continue wreaking havoc instead of siding with them.
"Then let’s find a way for Fu Jin to leave Jiang Yue." Someone suggested.
"That is not possible." The first Elder chimed in. "They almost don’t go in separate ways. The best course of action that we can do right now is to use another person to eliminate Fu Jin."
"The blame should not be on us." He added while stroking his goatee. "We need a scapegoat."
"Then how about Nico Ruiz?" Peter suggested, instantly making everyone looked at him in a very peculiar way. If Jiang Yue will choose to destroy the Ruiz Family then what will happen to Peter’s wife, Mia? Isn’t this akin to shooting his feet with his own gun?
"Ehem... that... is not possible." Antonio said, saving his favorite nephew from everyone’s scrutiny. He understood that Peter took a like towards Jiang Yue however, he should not make it that obvious. Or, Mr. Quan and Quan Lei might suspect that something was not right and would launch some countermeasures against Peter.
That would be a disaster, considering the Quan father and son as the only people that they trusted the most in the East.
"How about we have Fu Jin marry someone else?" said Mr. Quan. After some thought, killing Fu Jin was not the best option. The man was also talented and skilled in business. Why not take advantage of this and have him marry another influential person?
"Who?"
Another silence. Who can they ask to marry Fu Jin? And how would they make Fu Jin agree?
"Mr. Quan... I remember you still have a daughter. Quan Lei’s sister?" Peter smiled, his eyes flashed a malicious glint. "Why don’t we arrange your daughter to seduce Fu Jin?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Not possible!" Mr. Quan responded without batting an eyelid. However, hesitation started to cloud his judgment. Her daughter was an excellent businesswoman. Moreover, her beauty is also comparable to Jiang Yue. She is also talented in the fashion industry. If she could get Fu Jin’s favor then...
"Why not?" Peter inquired. "She is as excellent as Jiang Yue. I’m sure she had a big chance to get Fu Jin’s attention."
"Peter is right... Mr. Quan... we can have your daughter meet Fu Jin accidentally. She could try and get the man’s attention while we talk to Jiang Yue about her marriage." Antonio agreed. His words also earned some nods from other people in the room. He then gave Peter a side glance. "However, with the current state of the Ruiz Family, I don’t think Mia is fit to compete with Jiang Yue."
Antonio had always been thinking for the Vercello family’s interest. Everyone knows that Antonio is always ruthless when it comes to the decision that would benefit the Vercello Family greatly. He would not hesitate to abandon his family members for the sake of the organization. So, his words right now is actually not a surprise to everyone. In fact, many of them are expecting this.
"What are you trying to say now?" It was Mr. Quan. He already had a bad feeling about all this when Peter tried to talk about Jiang Yue.
"Simple..." The first elder answered. "Jiang Yue is deserving of the position. With her capabilities, our enemies will surely shiver in her presence. However, she is still not married. Why don’t we have Quan Lei and Peter compete for the Patriarch’s position?"
"That Mia is already useless. She is not skilled and talented. She was only married to Peter because of the favors that we owe the Ruiz Family. With the current state of the Ruiz Family, Mia is already worthless. She is a dispensable character," He added.
"You cannot do this! My Quan Lei had been set to marry Jiang Yue for years now!" Mr. Quan gritted his teeth as anger poured through him. Peter vs. Quan Lei? This is preposterous! Although his son is equally as talented as Peter, the Pardi Family have too much influence compared to his Quan Family. This is something that should never happen!
