CHAPTER 827: CHAPTER 827: SACRIFICING EVEN HIS OWN DAUGHTER

The video call quickly connected, and the images of their respective figures appeared on both sides.

Gideon Faulkner looked at the man in the shadows before him, who was tall, his face indistinct but only his strong torso clad in a shirt was visible.

From the texture of his skin, it was clear he was a young man.

Franklin Faulkner leaned back in his chair, glanced at Gideon Faulkner in the video, and said in a low voice, "I heard Mr. Faulkner was looking for me. I wonder what it is about?"

Gideon Faulkner restrained his thoughts and said bluntly, "I know you’ve been cooperating with my eldest brother."

"Is that so? Since you already know, then why are you looking for me? What do you intend to do?" Franklin Faulkner said quietly.

Gideon Faulkner gritted his teeth; of course, he wanted to destroy Gregory Faulkner’s plan and successfully seize the Faulkner Family Head position.

Old Master Faulkner had a total of four sons; the third son Gordon Faulkner died early, leaving Alaric Faulkner and Jasper Faulkner, and he was the second in line.

The middle son was neither favored by his father nor mother and didn’t excel like the eldest, but his ambition was not that limited.

So he set his eyes on the person Gregory Faulkner found, attempting to subvert him, making Gregory’s efforts futile.

"I also want to work with you," Gideon Faulkner said confidently.

Franklin Faulkner sneered, saying leisurely, "What makes you think I would betray Gregory Faulkner to cooperate with you? What benefits can you offer me?"

"Whatever benefits he can offer you, I can give you all of them after I’ve secured the Family Head position, and... "

He glanced over Franklin Faulkner’s body and smiled, "You are a promising young talent; you must have grand ambitions. I can help you achieve what you desire.

After a brief pause, Gideon Faulkner threw out an even bigger bait, saying, "I have a daughter, one of the top ten socialites in Aethelgard, with outstanding looks and talent. I can place her by your side. We can become in-laws and win together."

Upon hearing Gideon Faulkner’s words, a hint of disdain and disgust flashed in Franklin Faulkner’s eyes.

To achieve his goal, Gideon Faulkner even sacrificed his daughter, and he didn’t even know his own identity.

Truly ridiculous to the extreme.

How could he possibly help the people of the Faulkner Family; he was merely using them.

Now that Gideon Faulkner came knocking, he might as well fool him into thinking he was tempted, and then he could cause Gideon Faulkner and Gregory Faulkner to turn against each other.

If he could bring in the fourth brother, Garrett Faulkner, even better.

Would these uncles and advisors be so filled with rage they wished to kill when they found out their struggles were all just an illusion?

A cold arc appeared on Franklin Faulkner’s thin lips. He asked, "Mr. Faulkner, are you not concerned about giving your daughter to me without knowing my identity?"

"You are a talent among talents; your identity must not be simple. I feel assured entrusting Yun’er to you."

A cold light flashed in Franklin Faulkner’s eyes, "Since Mr. Faulkner is so sincere, I won’t decline. I can forgo my cooperation with Gregory Faulkner and switch to working with you."

Gideon Faulkner smiled, excitement flashing on his face.

It indeed persuaded this person; sacrificing his daughter was not in vain. Anyway, once it’s done, he would just need to kick him away.

Both were scheming, each with their own objectives to calculate against the other.

Franklin Faulkner said blandly, "I wonder what Mr. Faulkner wants me to do?"

Gideon Faulkner pondered a moment and said, "You just need to humor my eldest brother, doing as he asks, but at the right time, push me to the top."

"Deal."
