Briar wanted to be a member of the board of directors of Hunt Enterprise so she could decide the


    fate of thepany and have the right to suppress Stefan.


    "I..." It was rare to see Jovan look so defeated, and he kept his head bowed as he muttered, "I can''t do


    it... at least not right now." "So, we can''t reach a deal?" Briar snorted. Why did you ask me toe


    here if you can''t do it? You''re wasting my time."


    Briar turned to leave, but Jovan stopped her. "I only said that I couldn''t do it now. You have to give me


    time, or else my smart grandpa won''t agree. If he gets upset, I might even lose my position, and then I


    won''t be able to help you at all."


    Briar paused and contemted it briefly. She knew she couldn''t push him too hard, so she relented.


    "Fine, I’ll give you one week. Is that enough?" "I''ll give it a shot." Jovan knew that getting what he


    wanted would just remain wishful thinking if his offer to Briar wasn''t good enough.


    Jovan decided to go to Hunt Manor to visit Timothy that night.


    Timothy''s health was getting worse. He had been lying in bed for a long time because it was hard for


    him to get up and move around. He was overjoyed to see Jovan, and they yed chess and chatted


    like they used to. "You seem like a carefree guy, but you''re actually quite devoted. You alwayse


    and spend time with me." "Grandpa, please don''t say that. You''re the one who''s spending time with me


    and giving me advice." "What advice can I give you? I can share some of my experiences with you


    because I''ve been ying chess for a long time." Timothy cleared his throat and moved a chess piece.


    Instantly, his gamey became offensive instead of defensive, and he started advancing.


    At first, Jovan had the upper hand, but he had no choice but to retreat, and could not make a


    counterattack. "Grandpa, you''re amazing. I can''t win this one." Jovan gave up resisting and willingly


    surrendered.


    "Nonsense. As long as the game goes on, there''s always a chance to win," Timothy said profoundly,


    trying to give Jovan life advice too. "Sometimes, people are just like chess pieces. Don''t forget yourself


    when you''re winning, and don''t be downcast when you''re losing... So, tell me-why did youe to me


    today?" Timothy was smart; he knew that Jovan wasn''t just here to y chess. He was certain Jovan


    had a favor to ask of him.


    "Ah, you really do know me best." Jovan sighed and decided toe clean.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
