chapter 12 Kevin Lin's conspiracy

In the past, between Olivia Lin and Kevin Lin, there had been fierce struggles and disputes over the Lin family's inheritance. Both sides had long been at odds. Emma Chen was already in a bad mood, and now, when she saw him, she directly brought up the matter of that batch of goods. While Emma Chen felt guilty, her expression worsened.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the products not be sold?"
"Auntie, I know everything about your situation. Not only can't you sell the products, but everyone who used to cooperate with you has cut ties with you, right?" Kevin Lin said with a smirk.
"Ah, how do you know?" Emma Chen was startled, and her psychological defences instantly crumbled.
Kevin Lin's reaction made him coldly sneer inside. What a fool! What a foolish woman!
Olivia Lin was his biggest enemy when it came to the inheritance rights. He had long had an undercover agent by Olivia Lin's side, monitoring their every move. He was well aware of their current situation.
Just a few days ago, the old lady even wanted Olivia Lin to become one of the company's heirs. Kevin Lin felt an unprecedented sense of crisis because Olivia Lin's business acumen was too strong. How could he possibly be her match? He even divorced that useless Alan Xu, thinking that he was surely done for.
But he never expected that not only did Olivia Lin fail to complete the project, but the company was also on the verge of collapse.
Originally, he had planned to tell the truth to the old lady and completely ruin Olivia Lin!
However, last night, by chance, he found a way to ensure Olivia Lin's complete downfall, and he even gained something good from it!
He went directly to find Olivia Lin, but she was not going to take the bait. So he turned to Emma Chen, this vain and foolish woman.
Looking at the frightened Emma Chen, Kevin Lin spoke in a seemingly concerned tone, "Oh, Third Aunt, we're all family. Of course, we should pay close attention to the success or failure of that project. But don't worry, I won't tell Grandma about this. I'll even help you find someone to buy the products!"
"Kevin, is that true?" Emma Chen's face lit up with excitement, completely forgetting that Kevin Lin and their family were at odds. How could he possibly genuinely help them?
"Of course it's true. In fact, I've been running around for this matter these days. But, I guess I have a bit more ability than you. I found someone who can buy that batch of goods, and the price is definitely not low!" Kevin Lin replied with a smile.
"Ah! That's wonderful! Kevin, you must help us. Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble. My sister, she'll go bankrupt!" Emma Chen was overjoyed, thinking she had found a saviour, and she tightly grabbed Kevin Lin's sleeve, her eyes filled with pleading.
This was exactly the effect Kevin Lin wanted. He smiled and said, "Hehe, Third Aunt, we're family. You don't even need to say it. I'll help you for sure. But, you mustn't tell Olivia the truth. Just say you found your friend who helped you with the product sales!"
"Huh? Not tell Olivia? Can we really do that?" Emma Chen hesitated.
"Auntie, you should understand my relationship with Olivia. If she finds out that I helped, with her strong-willed nature, would she be willing to let me help her?" Kevin Lin shrugged and said with an air of helplessness, "If you really care about her, then do as I say. Otherwise, I can't help you, and you'll just have to watch Olivia go bankrupt. Your wealthy life will probably come to an end too!"
"This... this!"
As soon as Emma Chen heard that her wealthy life might come to an end, she became even more anxious. She gritted her teeth and made a decision, "Alright, I promise you. But, who is the person you're introducing?"
"His name is Albert Meng! He's the CEO of Dingyun Company! You don't need to contact him yet. On Saturday, at City of Tianfu, there will be a banquet at the Grand Hotel. Let Olivia go alone, dressed beautifully. He will be waiting for Olivia at the door. I can guarantee that as long as Olivia goes, the deal will definitely be successful!" Kevin Lin said confidently.
"Okay, okay, that's great! Kevin, you really have to help us, or we'll be in big trouble. My sister, she'll go bankrupt!" Emma Chen was ecstatic, thinking she had found a way to continue her wealthy life. She held onto Kevin Lin's sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with gratitude and pleading.
"That's settled then, Auntie. You must follow what I've said, okay!" Kevin Lin instructed.
"Child, rest assured. Auntie will do as you say!" Emma Chen smiled brightly. She had found Kevin Lin extremely disagreeable before, but now she liked and admired him no matter how she looked at him.
"Alright, Third Aunt, it's a deal. I'll go now. Just in case Olivia sees me." Kevin Lin gave Emma Chen a reassuring smile and then got into his Porsche 911 and left.
"What a good child, what a good child!" Emma Chen watched the direction the Porsche 911 left in, excitedly running into the residential area.
"Hmph, foolish woman!"
But in the car, Kevin Lin revealed a sly smile.
Olivia Lin, oh Olivia Lin, dare compete with me for the family’s assets. This time, I'll make sure you're finished!
He was even more eager about the banquet to be held in City of Tianfu on Saturday.
Kevin Lin's scheme was naturally unknown to Emma Chen. After returning home, she couldn't wait to video call Olivia Lin and tell her everything Kevin Lin had arranged.
"Albert Meng!"
Upon hearing the good news from her mother, Olivia Lin, who had been desperate, frowned. She knew this person. He was over 60 years old and had bothered her several times at a high-profile event half a year ago. If it weren't for someone helping her at the time, he would have pestered her endlessly.
She also heard that he was wilful and lecherous, even at his age.
Her initial reaction was that she absolutely couldn't meet him again.
But thinking about how she was on the brink of bankruptcy, about to face total destitution, she hesitated.
If Albert Meng could buy this batch of goods at market price, there would be at least over ten million in profit. With this profit, she could at least get the other projects that the company had halted back on track.
This was definitely an opportunity.
Moreover, the banquet in City of Tianfu was coming up, and she had heard about it a few days ago. It was said to be hosted by an extremely influential figure. The people invited to this banquet were all major figures in Jiang City, with assets starting at least from a billion. Even her grandmother didn't qualify to be invited.
If she could get in, she might have a chance to meet some high-ranking and influential people. And if she was lucky enough to meet the person hosting the banquet, it could change her destiny!
With so many powerful and influential figures present, even if Albert Meng wanted to do something, he wouldn't be able to, right?
After much internal struggle, Olivia Lin nodded and said, "Mom, I'll go!"
"Oh, my good daughter, I believe Mr. Meng will definitely help us!"
Emma Chen was thrilled and thought she had saved her wealthy life.
After ending the video call, she immediately secretly sent a WeChat message to Kevin Lin, telling him that Olivia Lin had agreed and asked him to speak well of Olivia Lin to Mr. Meng, emphasizing that he’d really need to help her own biological sister.
At this moment, Kevin Lin, who had already arrived at the chairman's office of Dingyun Company, became extremely excited when he saw the message. He quickly took out his phone and, with a beaming smile, said to the grey-haired man sitting on the boss's chair before him, "Mr. Meng, I told you. Olivia Lin is within my grasp. She has agreed!"
The grey-haired man, who was Albert Meng, carefully examined the chat history and became excited, "Kevin, my old friend, you're really amazing. Ever since I saw this woman at the last banquet, I've been itching to have her. But is it really okay to pursue her? I heard that not long ago, Bert Shen had approached her on his own!"
"Heh, since she divorced her useless husband, Bert Shen hasn't paid her any attention. You don't need to worry." Kevin Lin said with a smirk.
"Useless husband? Who's that? Will it affect our plan?" Albert Meng furrowed his brows.
"Heh, he's just a good-for-nothing. That useless person won't affect our plan at all!" Kevin Lin said disdainfully. "By the way, who is the host of the banquet in City of Tianfu this time? Can you take me in to meet him?"
"Old friend, I really can't bring you in this time. They've specified that only family members can enter. Bringing Olivia Lin in is already the extent of my abilities." Albert Meng shook his head. "As for who the important person behind this banquet is, I really don't know. All I know is that he comes from a powerful and wealthy family in Capital City. Their wealth is immense, and their power is overwhelming. It's an existence that both you and I can only look up to!"
"Well, forget it then!" Kevin Lin was very disappointed. This was a great opportunity to meet influential people. After a moment's pause, he continued, "But, you mustn't forget what you promised me earlier!"
"Old friend, rest assured. As long as I successfully obtain Olivia Lin, I will definitely fulfil our agreement!" Albert Meng said eagerly, then gave Kevin Lin his marching orders.
Right now, all he could think about was how he would enjoy Olivia Lin when the time came. This made him extremely eager. As soon as Kevin Lin left, he hastily summoned his female secretary, closed the office door, and engaged in unspeakable activities.
