Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1186: Taking the Manor

"By the way, have you ever met that old man from the Keaton Family?"

Perhaps noticing July Quinn’s awkwardness, Kane skillfully changed the topic.

"I haven’t found the time to visit the Keaton Family yet. We had originally planned to visit during the New Year, but something came up."

Kyle Keaton answered for July Quinn because he knew what had happened during that time was something she wasn’t ready to discuss.

Kane was instantly delighted upon hearing this.

"Good that you haven’t! I’ll video call that old Keaton later and piss him off."

Yes, the relationship between Kane and Old Master Keaton was quite good.

The two were practically brothers in their younger days, but later Kane was forced to go abroad to take over the family business.

However, their relationship remained solid, and with their children being together, they became even closer.

Knowing that Kane was often bored abroad, Old Master Keaton frequently video chatted with him, occasionally even playing chess online.

Of course, even in their senior years, their competitive spirit hadn’t waned; they loved to banter and compare with each other.

Kane thought that if Old Master Keaton knew that Kyle’s wife met him first and not Keaton, he’d be insanely jealous.

Just thinking of Old Master Keaton’s face twisted with jealousy made Kane’s heart brim with joy.

"Grandpa and the old man are so old, yet they’re still so childish. Don’t mind them,"

Kyle Keaton was a bit worried that these two old men might affect his image in July Quinn’s mind.

Contrary to his concern, July laughed, "I think it’s great. To be able to be like that with friends into old age is exactly the kind of life I aspire to have."

Aside from admiring Kane’s ability to maintain friendships at his age, July also understood that Kane was being lively because he was worried she would feel uncomfortable on her first visit to the family home.

If someone that old could make such an effort, how could she not be grateful?

With Kane’s lead, July’s first visit to the Kane’s old residence was quite harmonious.

But by the evening of her return from the Kane’s old house, news broke that Joseph had a sudden heart attack and was hospitalized for emergency treatment.

Especially those who previously believed Joseph would win against the Quinn Group now doubted that idea almost entirely.

"Joseph has fallen; who in the Marsden Family can withstand all this now? Rely on Jennings who only knows how to play with women?"

"Joseph is dead, right?"

"To the person above, Joseph might not be dead yet, but he’s almost as good as. It’s said he’s already in a vegetative state!"

Yes, there were plenty of netizens spreading rumors.

Even though official media had reported that Joseph was out of danger and was now no different from a normal person.

With all these incessant rumors, investors panicked and immediately sold off their shares in the Marsden Family. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

This led to the Marsden family’s stock plummeting the next day.

Adding to the Marsden family’s woes, the "Earl" withdrew funds, tanked several major projects, and then, posing as the victim, sued the Marsden Family for compensation through the Marsden Estate for the enormous losses due to the project interruptions.

Joseph was still under hospital observation, hooked to various monitors.

Upon hearing this chain of events, all the machines connected to him started blaring alarms.

"That damned July Quinn, she actually set her sights on Marsden Estate!"
