Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Summoning
This matter, after all, was targeted at Adam Ross.
Mr. Ross had always been grooming Adam, and the situation developing to this point was the perfect opportunity for him to get some practice.
"Since they’ve set up this drama for us, we can’t just let it go without a fight," Adam chuckled, a hint of slyness flickering in his eyes.
"Uncle Thorne, could you please call over the few people from the Ross Family and tell them Mr. Ross has important news to announce?"
Adam indicated with his eyes to the middle-aged man beside him.
After receiving a signal from Mr. Ross, the middle-aged man answered and immediately started making the arrangements according to Adam’s request.
Since there had recently been a family banquet hosted by Mr. Ross not long ago, the distant relatives of the Ross Family had all arrived at the same time, and had not yet had the chance to leave. In no time at all, they had gathered at The Ross Mansion.
Adam swept his gaze across the room and finally, upon spotting Oliver Ross in the crowd, immediately stepped forward to approach him.
"I say, cousin, what’s happened to you? How did your clothes get so dirty?"
Adam pointed to the large wine stain on Oliver’s chest, making Oliver’s complexion even more displeased.
Earlier in the bar, someone had spilled a drink all over him. He had intended to change his clothes, but then Ray Ross called him, insisting he rush back to The Ross Mansion.
He had said that Mr. Ross might very well announce the matter of the inheritance.
So, he did not dare to delay any further and rushed back in a hurry.
Adam then leaned in a bit closer to Oliver and sniffed with his nose.
"Aiyo, such strong liquor, cousin, where have you been playing in the middle of the day?"
Adam’s teasing words were extremely irritating to Oliver, but right now, on Mr. Ross’s turf, he did not put his hands on Adam to push him away, but instead, he just asked.
"Mr. Ross has hurriedly called us back, what does he want to say?"
After all, Mr. Ross’s most coveted heir was Adam, so some things he was definitely clear on.
"What could it be for?" Adam spread his hands wide, his eyes circling around The Ross Mansion, as if hinting at something to Oliver.
Then Adam leisurely turned and walked away, leaving Oliver with a profound look in his eyes.
Oliver’s expression shifted slightly, then he hurriedly went to find Ray Ross: "Dad."
But as soon as he approached Ray, Ray caught the smell of liquor on Oliver and glared at him fiercely.
"Drinking again, don’t you have any ambition?"
"Dad, I just asked Adam, it seems Mr. Ross really did call us here for the matter of inheritance."
Oliver’s words caused Ray’s raised hand to fall, and then he looked at his unambitious son with suspicion.
"Are you sure?"
"Adam already hinted discretely, I’m sure there’s no big discrepancy. Besides, Mr. Ross is getting on in years, it’s about time he let go of the power he’s held for so long," Oliver said with a grin.
Hearing this, Ray’s mind began to formulate his own plans.
Then he scanned the other people around, noticing their expressions weren’t much different from his own.
Right now, within the Ross Family, the fierce internal struggle was for the position left by Mr. Ross.
But the biggest competitor for them was naturally Adam Ross.
However, Ray had been inquiring these past few days and it seemed that because of the trouble at the family banquet, Mr. Ross had a very bad attitude towards Adam.
Perhaps there really was a chance for someone else.
While everyone had their own thoughts on the matter, Mr. Ross was wheeled out in a chair, immediately drawing away everyone’s attention.
"Gentlemen, I called you all here today because of a certain matter."
