Chapter 882 - We Are Brothers!
And the people who had belittled Jean\'s family before now cowered in fear.
Whether it was Glen\'s statement or Jean\'s warning by throwing people overboard, it was enough to shock the guests.
At this moment, Glen pinched his waist with one hand and looked around in disdain. "Everyone, do you have any questions?"
Silence spread around him.
Seeing this, Glen said in a relaxed tone, "Since everything is fine, let\'s start today\'s dinner. Earlier, this friend of mine said you are free to party, so just take advantage of today\'s opportunity to be more familiar, maybe you will be interested in the future. Who knows if there will be an unexpected cooperation at the end of this banquet!"
After saying this, the crowd immediately dispersed.
Seeing this scene, Glen couldn\'t help but sneer and curse.
They are all a group of businessmen who have forgotten their places and so he had to show them.
At this moment, Glen caught a glimpse of the many people on this deck whispering to each other. He then shrugged, turned and looked at Jean. "You, don\'t stand there, let\'s find a place to drink!"
Lilia smiled and walked to Mellisa\'s side. "You guys talk first, I want to take a stroll around this place!"
Glen nodded, watching Lilia and Mellisa walk towards the other side of the deck. "Jean, your wife is as resourceful as ever!"
A few minutes later, Jean, Glen and Leonard were seated at a square table on the side of the ship\'s deck.
Leonard never said a word, he was just busy with a cigarette in his hand.
Glen, who was sitting beside Jean with his legs folded, sat comfortably and relaxed.
He lifted his chin slightly, looked at Leonard opposite him, and smacked the corner of his mouth. "Do you still know me?"
Leonard stopped from lifting his cigarette, squinting through the layers of smoke then nodding. "Of course."
Glen licked his lips and looked at Jean jokingly. "I didn\'t expect the two of you to have your own women!"
Jean extended his eyebrows elegantly. "This world is too small!"
Glen chuckled, but didn\'t answer.
Leonard finished his cigarette and stubbed the butt into the ashtray. He swallowed and looked at Jean with an indistinct expression. "Jean, do you know the Sylvester family in Parma?"
"The Sylvester family was able to gain power thanks to him and to prove our gratitude, we will gladly help him with all of our resources!" Glen spoke the shocking news flatly.
Leonard was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Sure enough, compared to Jean Widjaya, I am too far behind!"
Glen narrowed his eyes to observe Leonard\'s broad smile, leaned closer to the table, and said to him, "I heard that you haven\'t been at the Adlers\' house in recent years. How can you compare with us who never leave our families? Before I came, I heard from Jean about your situation. I didn\'t expect him to come to Bandung…"
"Glen!" Just as Glen was about to speak the truth without a second thought, the man beside him gave a warning.
Glen stopped, stared at him helplessly, and then turned around.
Leonard sharply noticed that something was off. Glen was about to tell him something, but was suddenly interrupted by a warning from Jean.
Leonard sighed silently, and lit another cigarette in annoyance.
The atmosphere at the table became a little stagnant from the silence. Glen muttered for a moment, then stood up. I\'m going to the wine cellar to get some bottles, you two can talk first."
Glen realized that maybe Jean had something to discuss with Leonard.
After Glen left, Leonard looked down at the cigarette in his hand and said in a mocking voice, "Coming to Bandung specifically for my business this time, right?"
The man looked at him blankly. He said in a soft voice, "That\'s not really true, I\'m here on a honeymoon with Lilia."
Leonard raised his eyes and ran to his pupils, then took a deep breath. "Glen and I haven\'t seen each other for more than 20 years."
"Honestly I don\'t know him at all. All I know is that my mother is his aunt but like... very distant aunt. Our relationship is not very close. For the past few years, the Slyvester family has been in charge of the cruise ship industry in Bandung, but I didn\'t expect him to be in charge. He really has become the chairman of the Sylvester family cruise ship."
As the words fell, Leonard suddenly smoked his cigarette.
His appearance was dull and discreet.
After being laid out on the table for comparison, one would find that the distance between them was almost infinite.
At this moment, he clearly felt the difference in strength between himself and Jean.
This was probably the fundamental reason why he had not yet attained the position of heir to the Adler family.
At this time, Jean was sitting on a chair with a relaxed posture, bending his legs slowly, showing a hint of laziness.
He looked at Leonard\'s depressed gaze, his pupils deep. "What Glen said is true. You have been away from the Adler family\'s affairs for many years, and in essence, this is very different from our home. If you had not gone to the capital city then, you would have been the leader of the Adler Family by now!"
Leonard\'s eyes flickered, sighing softly. "You don\'t need to comfort me. In terms of strength and means, I am too inferior compared to you. I always thought that as long as I returned to Bandung, I should immediately retrieve what was rightfully mine. But you have seen the fact that this Adler family feud is not that easy, and I\'ve indeed lost all my support for not being here."
After hearing this, Jean followed his line of sight and looked into the distance together. "When we were young, we had absolutely no ambition, so thinking about women or living leisurely isn\'t a bad thing. Now that you\'ve returned, you\'ve had the experience of living in the outside world. Naturally, you have experience and abilities that the other members of your family don\'t have. No matter how you do it, keep trying! Don\'t bother to stop even if it\'s really hard!"
These illuminating words filled Leonard\'s eyes with complexity. He looked back at Jean, licked the corners of his lower lip, and sighed. "You are more confident than me."
"I only trust you." Jean looked at Leonard frankly. "Whether it\'s me or Glen, we\'re here to be your supporters!"
Leonard was quite touched. He closed his eyes and tried to contain the overflowing emotions.
He smiled awkwardly. "Are you sure I won\'t lose? Why do you want to help me?"
"Of course I believe you will win, because… We are brothers!"
Jean\'s tone was very nonchalant, as if stating a fact!
Hearing this, Leonard looked up at the night sky and heaved a heavy sigh.
"Actually I\'m a little tired and want to give up on pursuing that position. But now, as you said, it\'s time to fight! Before, I lost many opportunities because I kept looking back. Sometimes I couldn\'t stop thinking that if I hadn\'t run away and become a police officer in Jakarta, would my position be as bad as it is now?"
"But you\'re right indeed, I should make my life experience my weapon!"
