Chapter 22 - The Bold Jenner Family

8pm at Jenner family's villa...

The members of the Jenner family are seated. They are excited and happy especially Bonna's family. William is in high spirits, Trisha is trembling from excitement, and her mother Amelia is grinning from ear to ear. They know what Bonna accomplished today at the auction. The land from Berian city that they failed to acquired a year ago is now acquired by Bonna. 

"William, Bonna is really excellent" 

"Yes, she is the most excellent descendant of our family"

"That project will boost our family's income twice." 

"Bonna's parents are smart too.. so naturally Bonna and Trisha is excellent"

Bonna's family receives all kind of flattery. However the main star of the night has not arrived yet. After 10 mins, the door swung open and Bonna walk in holding her bag and briefcase. When she entered the hall, the atmosphere became more lively. Her family members praised her and congratulated her. Seeing this, she smiles as she remembers what Josh said 'small victories like this are necessary when you up against two formidable foes.'

"Dad where are grandma and grandpa?" she asks.

"Dad told me that he will be late but I think he's close now. He will be here soon" William answered.

Amelia stood up and kissed her daughter's cheeks "My daughter, you did well. You brought two contracts with you." 

Trisha smiles and hugs her little sister "Both contracts are profitable, it will further elevate our family's wealth and status. Small increase in our strength is necessary for us. Thank you sis" 

Bonna nodded "The second contract is a construction contract for the new company that will enter our city. I'll let you handle this since you know the city center pretty well." 

"Really, sis? Thank you so much!" the two sisters hug each other. 

Many people did not know but William knew about the company that will enter their city. The famous stargaze corporation which its origin is from the capital. The Stargaze corporation is one of the top companies in the whole country, even in the whole world. Landing a successful cooperation with such company will benefit them not just in profit but in status as well. In the business circle, if one company has successfully establish a collaboration with Stargaze corporation, they will deemed as competent and a great enterprise. There are only few branches of the Stargaze corporation in the whole ore region. That's why the competition for collaborating with such company is tight.

'Since Trisha will handle the construction of the buildings of the stargaze corporation. Then she must do well, I will help my daughter' William thought.

"Bonna where's Josh?" William ask.

"Dad, Josh told me that he has something important to do, I told him not to be late.."

"It's fine let's just wait for dad" They take their seats and wait for Robert and Christine. They talk about the potential distribution of loads and who will assist Bonna on renovating the suburbs of the Berian city.

After 15 mins of waiting, the door opens and Robert together with his wife Christine walked in. All the members of the Jenner family stood up, the crowd noticed the butler and Josh walking behind the old couple. 

'Why is he with grandpa and grandma?' Bonna asks in her heart.

The other members of the Jenner family cast a disdainful glance at him but Josh ignored them. The old couple sat down on the main seats while the butler stood up on the side.

"Josh, sit here" he pointed the seat, only one stair below the main seat. Josh went along and sat down.

'That guy is shameless, how could he sit down beside our helmsman?' 

'That penniless man's face is so thick.' 

In the hearts of the Jenner family members, Josh is just a worthless man. 

Christine spoke and said "Bonna sit beside me" 

"Yes, grandma" Bonna sat down beside her grandma. 

Robert spoke in a loud deep voice. "Today we are here because Bonna and Josh's success on the auction earlier. Bonna can you tell us what happened earlier?" 

She told everyone what happened at the auction. Everyone was dumfounded, 'What? that useless guy helped Bonna? No way!'

Even Amelia frowned 'That can't be!'

"A-actually grandpa Robert gave me that money, I actually haven't done anything major. Grandpa forgot to give Bonna an additional money, that's all." Josh explained

"What?" Robert was confused but her wife gave him a nudged and he quickly understood. "Oh right.. right.. I gave him some money. We need to beat them first to build a momentum."

The members of the Jenner family sighs in relief. In their hearts, Josh is useless that's why they despise him. If it turned out that Josh is a powerful man, it will spell doom for them. Even Amelia is relief when she heard that. 'Maybe my husband made a mistake. Maybe he is just lucky to have those pills. This useless man can't fool me.'

"Bonna, you will be in charged of the project in the suburbs of Berian city" Robert looks at her.

"Yes, grandpa, and I'm planning to get investments and collaborations with my friends." 

He nodded.. "Good, let's talk about the second project that you have. What are your plans about that?" 

Everyone looks at Bonna...

"I will let elder sister to be in charge of the project." She answered.

"Father, I've secured some minor contracts. I will let our family manage it. I haven't finished the task you gave me. Besides my two daughters will be busy from now on." William spoke.

"I agree, I will let you decide on that matters." His father agreed.

They are excited as they will earn tens of millions and if their family has the time to digest thhose projects. The strength of their family will increase.

"Now, let's talk about the main important part" Robert grins.

"Father what do you mean?" William's older brother said. 

Everyone in the hall are confused. 

 "Didn't they called us here because of Bonna's success?"

"Is there more important than those projects?"

"Was the Wade and Douglas family made a move?"

"No, that can't be!" 

The members of the Jenner family are restless. Fear instantly rose up from the descendants of the Jenner family. Even William frowned 'did they attacked? that's impossible! all the wealthy families in the city including us are silent because of the big shot who arrived yesterday.' 

"Quiet!" the helmsman of the Jenner family, Robert's aura rose up.

"What? that's an aura of peak elite stage!"

"Did grandpa made a breakthrough?" 

"Is this his trump card against the Douglas and Wade family?" 

Everyone again in the Jenner family are excited. The helmsman is at peak elite stage. They are sure that Robert can lead them into greater heights again. However William's younger brother frowned. 'Even if father made a breakthrough to elite peak stage, there are five elite peak stage at the Douglas family. The Wade family has three elite peak stage while we only have father who is elite peak stage. There are dozens of elite late and middle stage among them. Also Mr. Cole the strongest fighter of the Douglas family' 

Unbeknownst to him, the strongest fighter of the Douglas family has been defeated in the hands of Josh. The hall became quiet as they eagerly wait for Robert to speak. Instead speaking he turns and look at Josh. Josh smiled and handed him the contract, Robert hugs him and pats his back. 

"Josh, thank you" he said sincerely. He knew that if Josh hadn't returned, their family is finished.

"This is what I need to do grandpa" He smiles and hugs him.

After signing the contract, the old couple are very happy. Robert is laughing, the butler is grinning widely while Christine look at his future grandson-in-law with satisfaction in her face. This caused the entire Jenner family confused about what's happening. Robert put down the dozens of contracts from his hands down to the table. He looked at his family and smiled.

"I know that lots of you are curious, just look at your phones" 

Everyone look at their phones and was dumbfounded when they saw the news from the business circle of their city. 

"Wait! the Grant family is destroyed?" 

"Did they offend someone powerful?" 

Countless questions came out from their mouths. Even the calm and collected William was shocked. The Grant family is one step away to be an S rank family, what more is the Grant family is backed by an unknown forces. That's why no S rank family tries to fight them or even offend them except from the Douglas family the top 1 family in the city. The Jenner family haven't recovered from the shock but another news made their jaws dropped. 

The headlines on the news is "The Great Jenner family destroyed the Grant family tonight" 

The wealthy personalities and families in the city are about to go crazy. The Grant family who was backed by unknown forces was destroyed by the Jenner family who currently going against the other two great families. 

To them, the Jenner family doesn't care about anyone and anything. Tonight the only thing that is embedded in the minds of the citizens and the wealthy family on their city is the Jenner family is about to go all out!...
