The Amazing son in law Chapter 532
It was truly unfortunate that he chose the wrong path. This misguided decision led to the unfortunate reality that this devoted son was now viewed as a beast by everyone around him.
After two full days of speculation, the passing of Masao Kobayashi, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, had captured a significant amount of attention across Japan.
Thanks to a vigorous campaign orchestrated by Masao’s second son, Jiro, Ichiro suddenly found himself labeled as the chief suspect in the poisoning death of his own father, allegedly motivated by a desire to usurp his father’s position at Kobayashi Pharma.
At this moment, the entire nation was condemning Ichiro, branding him as the most unfilial son in Japan. Some even went as far as to call him the shame of the nation!
Meanwhile, Jiro escalated the situation by raising the bounty on Ichiro’s head from 1 billion yen to a staggering 3 billion yen.
His goal was to swiftly claim the chairmanship of Kobayashi Pharma. To achieve this, he felt compelled to ensure that his brother met his end before ever returning to Japan.
Jiro was acutely aware that his elder brother had no intention of killing their father. Even if he had wanted to, it was unlikely he would attempt such an act while being stuck abroad. If he were in Japan at the time, he could have stepped into the chairman’s role immediately following this tragedy.
Thus, Jiro could only conclude that his brother was also a victim in this grim affair, suffering just as much.
After all, Kobayashi Pharma had already transferred a whopping ten billion dollars to Charlie, which served as substantial evidence that Charlie was indeed behind this entire incident.
However, if Jiro did not shift the blame onto Ichiro, then, as the eldest son, Ichiro would rightfully inherit the chairmanship. This would solidify his position as the rightful leader of Kobayashi Pharma.
For Jiro to mount a successful counterattack and secure the chairmanship for himself, he had no option but to continue undermining his brother.
This is why Jiro was eager for Ichiro to perish in Aurous Hill.
If Ichiro was silenced, Jiro’s claim to the chairmanship of Kobayashi Pharma would be all the more assured.
Jiro’s increasing cash reward for his brother’s head made it evident that he was desperately intent on eliminating Ichiro as soon as possible.
In response, Charlie sent a text to Albert, instructing him to reach out to Jiro. Charlie proposed that Albert demand one billion dollars from Jiro in exchange for Ichiro. If Jiro refused, Charlie threatened to personally escort Ichiro back to Tokyo and arrange a press conference where Ichiro could publicly clarify the situation. This would allow Ichiro to compete openly against Jiro for the succession of Kobayashi Pharma. For more chapters visit find✦novel.net
Charlie’s reasoning was straightforward. If Jiro truly aspired to be the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, he would need to cooperate with Charlie. Otherwise, should Charlie release Ichiro, the brothers might end up sharing the company, resulting in a far greater loss for Jiro than merely one billion dollars.
Without hesitation, Albert contacted Jiro to relay Charlie’s demand.
Upon hearing Albert’s message, Jiro nearly lost his mind.
One billion dollars?!
Kobayashi Pharma had already paid Charlie ten billion dollars for the poison prescription!
This ten billion dollar transaction had been voluntary—his father had been completely deceived by Charlie.
The very thought irritated Jiro greatly; his father had essentially spent ten billion dollars to procure a poison that ultimately led to his own demise.
If this transaction were to be made public, it would undoubtedly be deemed the most unjust deal of the century.
Jiro felt that if Charlie had any sense of decency, he would assist him in eliminating his brother in exchange for the ten billion dollars. He never imagined that Charlie would instead demand another billion dollars. Did he really believe he was running a bank?!
