Chapter 833: Chapter 833 Betrayed_1
Even an artificial intelligence like itself could receive blessings from other AIs on its birthdate, yet its master seemed to have never experienced such a thing.
How pitiful.
So in Jinlian’s place, there was now another pitiable representative—Hannah.
The long night dragged on, and by the time Arnold Simmons returned to the bedroom, the sky was already faintly brightening.
He silently watched the sleeping face beside him for a while before he reached out to embrace the person in his arms, his heart filled in an instant with a silent sigh.

Three days later, Jimmy Simmons officially returned to the Simmons Clan.
By then, the Simmons Clan had already descended into chaos after one internal struggle after another. Even though it still looked impressive from the outside, the negative attitude of the employees inside the building revealed that the Simmons Clan was no longer as it used to be.
Without Arnold Simmons, the Simmons Clan seemed to revert to its former decrepit state.
However, Jimmy did not see it that way. Even seated in a wheelchair, he could not hide the arrogance and flamboyance between his brows.
He always had confidence that he could lead the Simmons Clan to new heights. As for Arnold’s actions, Jimmy saw them as malicious, deliberately treating the Simmons Clan as his own possession.
The few senior shareholders exchanged glances, quickly putting on obsequious smiles, and discussed the recent plans for the Simmons Clan with Jimmy.
These were projects which sounded good but were actually full of flaws.
Yet Jimmy was completely unaware, even thinking of urging his assistant to promptly arrange a meeting to discuss this new project in detail.
Standing behind Jimmy, Hank Ward furrowed his brows. He was not a businessman, but he had a knack for understanding people and sensed something strange about the expressions of these senior shareholders.
Thinking it over, he still offered a word of caution. "Young master Simmons, perhaps you should reconsider?"
Hank was someone Jimmy could trust completely. In the past, Jimmy would seriously consider his words, but now he was somewhat impetuous.
His only desire was to achieve his own success and surpass Arnold.
He didn’t respond to Hank’s advice.
The senior shareholders, worried that their plan might fall through, chose to back off as a strategic move. "It seems the people by young master Simmons’s side are still concerned, which is understandable. Why don’t you think it over for some more time, young master? It’s just that..."
Jimmy caught the implication behind their words and frowned, "What is it?"
"It’s just that we’re worried that the River Family might get ahead of us. After all, there were quite a few who were keen on this project initially, so the competition is quite fierce."
After speaking, the senior shareholder stealthily gauged Jimmy’s expression and saw his face turn cold, as expected.
Indeed, after he had disappeared for so many years, the family company had been taken over by a bastard uncle, and just when the "dead" man was gone and he had returned, he received news of betrayal by a good brother.
Anyone would be greatly shaken by such a blow.
After all, the friendship between George River and Jimmy Simmons was well known to the entire circle, and there were even bold speculations about the nature of their relationship...
Of course, all these rumors came to an end with the start of George River’s romance with Tiffany Lynch.
But over the years, the relationship between the two men did not seem to fade; George had been diligent in searching for Jimmy’s whereabouts since his disappearance.
Who would have thought...
Remembering George’s actions, Jimmy slapped the armrests of his wheelchair hard, his face full of anger as he commanded sharply, "We must secure this project!"
The senior shareholders finally left with satisfied nods.
Only Jimmy and Hank remained in the office.
