Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 330 You Can't Bear to Do It Because She's Who You Love?
After arranging a grand funeral for Todd overseas, he returned to Country A and organized a high-profile memorial service for Todd.
Despite Ambrose's reluctance, Stuart insisted that all employees from the jewelry company and Far East International attend the memorial service. His orders left no room for exceptions. Ambrose had to attend as well. At the memorial service, Stuart cried particularly sorrowfully. Not only did he cry himself, but he also forced everyone else to cry.
"Everyone, cry, cry out loud!" Stuart imposed his grief on everyone.
Stuart ordered everyone to fake their tears, including Ambrose, who found the act of crying extremely disgusting.
'Stuart should have died along with Todd.' Ambrose cursed silently.
As Ambrose put on an act, pretending to shed tears of sorrow, Denny quietly approached him and whispered, "Mr. Vale, there's a police officer named Neil Jackson outside who wants to speak with you." "Tell him I'm busy. He should talk to my lawyer about everything in the future," Ambrose replied.
"Yes." Denny took the order and left.
Ambrose continued his fake crying. Stuart was still heartbroken, and after the memorial service, he was helped back to his room to rest by his assistant.
Denny immediately reported to Ambrose, "Mr. Vale, I've sent him away, but I heard that Neil is very persistent and might be difficult to deal with."
"No problem," Ambrose said confidently. "No matter how much they investigate, they won't find anything on me. We left no traces at the scene, and there were no cameras nearby. Besides, I've already found many people who can vouch for me at the company."
Despite Denny feeling somewhat reassured by Ambrose's confidence, he still harbored a lingering concern.
He said, "Bill and I will naturally keep our mouths shut, but Marigold..."
"She was the mastermind behind this kidnapping. She voluntarily leaked Stellan's whereabouts to me. If she were to be convicted, she would be the main culprit. Do you think she would dare to speak out? She can't even compete with Stellan for the interim director position at Nexus Innovations. If it's confirmed that she was involved in the kidnapping, she's done for. Don't worry. She won't dare to say anything." "That's good," Danny replied.
Ambrose smirked and patted Denny on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry. Todd's death will go unavenged. He died in vain, and that's the best outcome for him!" Ambrose truly hated Todd to the core. Even now, Ambrose's hatred for him remained intense.
What pained Ambrose the most was that Neil had come to find him because of Stellan. It became apparent that Stellan really wanted him dead.
The next day, Stuart's grief had slightly subsided, and he called Ambrose over.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Ambrose asked.
Stuart said weakly, "Todd is dead, and I have no heart to manage the company. Several executives have suggested that you take over."
Todd had always been arrogant and disrespectful, while Ambrose excelled at maintaining appearances. Compared to Todd, Ambrose had a much better reputation.
With Todd's death, several executives were secretly pleased and suggested to Stuart that Ambrose could be developed as the successor.
Ambrose replied, "I never dared to covet the position of chairman. Dad, you are in good health. I will be a good assistant to you and will never..."
Stuart raised his hand to interrupt Ambrose and said, "Regardless of my personal favor towards you, I have to admit that you are capable. The fact that several executives suggested you take over shows your ability. You're my only son left now. Such a large enterprise can only be left to you. However, the Vale Family's reputation cannot be tarnished. The world must not know that it was passed on to an illegitimate child.
So from now on, you and Todd are real brothers. I will add you to the Vale Family genealogy. Understood?"
Hearing this, Ambrose was overjoyed. Not only had he become the heir of the Vale Family, but he also shed the label of an illegitimate child?
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you very much," Ambrose said gratefully. "Rest assured, Dad, I will not let you down. I will lead Far East International to greater heights. Thank you for your trust!"
Ambrose was so excited that he almost knelt before Stuart.
"But there is one thing you must do for me!" Stuart added. "Dad, please go ahead."
"I don't care what method you use, you must avenge Todd. Alaric and Stellan, both of them must die!"
Even Stellan?
"Dad, you..."
"Is it because she's who you love that you can't bear to do it?" Stuart immediately scolded.
"No, it's not," Ambrose replied.
"To achieve great things, one must be ruthless. Hesitating over a woman is pathetic!" Stuart said, "Now the position of heir can only be yours. But don't be too happy too soon. You have six months. If you can't avenge Todd within six months, I will revoke your position as heir.
Although you are my only son left, I have other relatives. Many people are willing to serve me. If you can't do it, others can. Understand?"
Six months?
Stuart wanted him to kill his Stellan?
"Remember my words," Stuart reminded him again.
He had originally decided to kill Alaric himself. But during the funeral arrangements back home, Stuart calmed down. He thought, 'Why should I do it myself when I had such a good opportunity to test Ambrose? Why let it go?' Soon, Ambrose became the heir of the Vale Family, and the news of Ambrose officially taking over Far East International made headlines.
The comments were overwhelmingly positive, with people saying that Ambrose was the rightful successor.
Seeing these comments, Stellan felt an urge to laugh. These netizens really had no idea what was going on.
"Todd is dead, and Ambrose has smoothly taken over," Cormac said after seeing the news. "Objectively speaking, Ambrose is much harder to deal with than Todd."
"He's despicable and shameless, so naturally, he's harder to deal with. But the higher he stands, the harder he will fall," Stellan said confidently. "One day, he will fall miserably."
"Of course."
"I don't even want to bother with him right now." Stellan said happily, "Josep called me and said that the drug has been successfully developed. Tonight, they will inject it into Alaric. I have a feeling that Alaric will wake up soon." "Really?" Cormac couldn't help but feel excited upon hearing this.
"Yes, I'm going to pick up Josep now. Do you want to come along? Caspian, Harry, and Elisa have been saying they miss you these past few days."
"Sure, let's go together," Cormac said eagerly. He didn't want to miss such an exciting moment.
