Chapter 2697 - 2715: Relatives
But Lancaster’s wood business has pulled off a series of wild maneuvers that really opened my eyes. @Little Jane’s fangirl Amber Edwards...——Jane Sampson.
After thinking for a bit, Jane Sampson decided to directly host a cash giveaway for retweets in this twitter post.
One person will straight-up receive ten thousand in cash, ten people will receive one thousand in cash.
This is for fear that this twitter post doesn’t get enough popularity, so there’s a cash giveaway to boost it.
After posting the twitter update, Jane Sampson put her mobile phone down and spent five minutes telling Old Master Black the whole story.
After hearing it, Old Master Black raised his eyebrows, "It’s an old company already; how could it do something like this?"
Jane Sampson shook her head, "I haven’t had contact with anyone from Lancaster’s wood business. That day, it was Amber Edwards who brought their contract to me."
"Lancaster’s wood business originally had a pretty good relationship with Amber Edwards, otherwise they wouldn’t have given such a crucial contract to her. How did it end up like this afterwards?" Old Master Black couldn’t believe such a thing would be done by a mature old company.
"Logically speaking, if Lancaster’s wood business wanted to change people, they’d at least notify Amber Edwards and have her pass on the message to you directly." Old Master Black said, "Wait for your aunt to return and have her arrange someone to investigate."
"Investigate what?" James Black came downstairs just in time to hear Old Master Black say this sentence.
Old Master Black then told James Black the story of Jane Sampson’s experiences with Lancaster’s wood business.
James Black nodded, then took out his mobile phone to check the twitter post. When he saw Emily Lancaster’s name, he paused and read it aloud.
"Emily Lancaster?" James Black thought for a moment, finding the name somewhat familiar but unable to recall who the person was. He then exited twitter and put his mobile phone away.
"I remember Lancaster’s wood business seems to have some sort of relative connection with Thomas Lancaster’s home," James Black said. "It seems that the family is a distant relative of sorts, Lancaster’s wood business might eventually come to Thomas Lancaster as a spokesperson."
"Give Thomas Lancaster a heads-up first." Old Master Black said, "If Lancaster’s wood business approaches him, tell him not to agree."
James Black nodded, then directly sent a text message to Thomas Lancaster. He then said to Old Master Black, "Grandfather, I have something important I want to tell you; let’s go upstairs to the study to talk."
After speaking, James Black also spoke to Jane Sampson, "You should go back upstairs to wash and rest; Rock Bell will handle this matter for you."
It’s a small matter; James Black believed Rock Bell had the means and ability to deal with it.
Old Master Black glanced at James Black, seeing his serious expression, he guessed this important matter might be a difficult one.
Old Master Black replied with a sound, got up, and followed James Black upstairs.
Jane Sampson was staying downstairs, feeling bored, listened to James Black’s call and went back to her room.
But she didn’t go to wash; instead, she picked up her mobile phone and went on WhatsApp, where someone in the childhood friend group was mentioning her.
Little Jane, what’s exactly going on with Lancaster’s wood business? Have they got the braveness to bully you like this?——Peter Gingery.
Thomas Lancaster, it seems Lancaster’s wood business has a relative connection with your family, right? If I remember correctly, you two clans are relatives, correct?——Chen Dong.
Yes, blood-wise, Emily Lancaster’s father’s great-grandfather and my father’s great-grandfather are cousins, but their great-grandfather was adopted by another clan’s relative. The kinship is very distant now; back when my great-grandfather was alive, the two clans did keep in touch, but after my great-grandfather passed, the connections ceased.——Thomas Lancaster.
