Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2685: Chapter 1926: Notable Figures in the Clan (Part 2)

Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s name, Caroline’s eyes narrowed instantly, and her body sat up a little straighter.

”Of course I remember him! The news you bring is related to him?!

”Isn’t Bai Xiaosheng now a chieftain in Oshan, with territory in Eisenlag? The company I manage is there, so I know. Of course, you must have known this a long time ago.”

Robert originally intended to give a reminder, so he could continue speaking.

Unexpectedly, Caroline was very surprised, ”What, Bai Xiaosheng, a chieftain? What’s going on!”

She didn’t know?

Robert also looked at Caroline in surprise at this reaction.

Logically, Caroline wouldn’t pretend not to know about such an incident. Does she really not know?

She didn’t even know Bai Xiaosheng had become a chieftain, doesn’t she watch the news?

Under Robert’s astonished gaze, Caroline urged, ”Is this the news you brought me?”

”No.” Robert hurriedly replied, ”Actually, I have connected with the Anlos Family. Their family is doing business with Bai Xiaosheng... developing business within Bai Xiaosheng’s territory. So I thought through this channel, I could learn about Bai Xiaosheng’s movements! I wanted to say, if you need, Sister Caroline, I can arrange for people to monitor Bai Xiaosheng’s actions!”

This statement indeed invigorated Caroline.

However, Caroline didn’t immediately express anything, instead smiling warmly, and said.

”I heard about your dealings with the Anlos Family and heard it’s related to a girl named ’Lorna’—tell me about it.”

Caroline certainly knew Lorna, as she was the one who spent money to have the Honey Badger Gang deal with Lorna.

However, at the time, it was just a casual remark by a trusted aide. Naturally, she wouldn’t let a woman of dubious identity tarnish her family’s reputation, so she casually instructed someone close to her to take care of it.

Unexpectedly, that ’Lorna’ actually managed to connect with the Anlos Family.

And there were many versions in the news media, each one wildly different. Listening to the party involved was more reliable.

Robert did not refuse and immediately sat down to tell Caroline the details.

Caroline nodded continuously as she listened...

Outside Caroline’s study, her two confidants and some servants waited outside, ready for orders.

They originally thought Robert would come out soon, after all, Miss Caroline had said she had a lot of work today and would be busy until midnight.

Time was limited, and Robert was not someone Miss Caroline particularly liked, so the conversation should end quickly.

To their surprise, it actually lasted nearly an hour.

The people waiting outside couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

Now, does this also signal that Miss Caroline’s attitude toward her brother Robert has changed?!

If this matter spreads, others in the family might completely adjust their stance toward Robert...

While the people outside were speculating, the door opened.

Robert came out from inside with a broad smile.

Soon after, Miss Caroline, surprisingly smiling herself, appeared at the door.

Before others could be surprised, Caroline even smiled and said to Robert, ”I’ll send for you when I’m free, let’s talk again.”

These words might seem overly polite or distant to siblings, but here it was indeed shocking.

When had Miss Caroline ever been so ”enthusiastic” to someone, even to most of the elders in the family!

Robert replied cheerfully and then turned and left.

Caroline’s confidants and the servants were already dumbfounded in astonishment.

Watching Robert leave their field of vision, Caroline’s smile lingered, her eyes shimmering as if she wanted to say something—

”Bai Xiaosheng, you have finally returned to my sight again!”

That night, back in his own room, with the disguise removed, Robert turned off the lights, standing in the dark, gazing at the lights outside, his eyes slightly flickering.

”Bai Xiaosheng, you’re truly no ordinary person! With this tailoring, I, who was once useless, have completely turned around my image in a single day!”

”This was originally something I planned to achieve in three months!”

”And thanks to your guidance, I can remain calm and unfazed when facing Caroline!”

”You really are my benefactor!”

...

In a blink, a few days flew by.

The Eisenlag Ogade Great Chieftain’s Palace now belonged to Chief Bai Xiaosheng, a gift from Chief Ogade.

The coronation ceremony had been days past, aside from an official announcement on the day itself, there was no subsequent media tracking report, making the new Great Chief Bai Xiaosheng seemingly appear extraordinarily low-key.

However, this is not uncommon.

Some chieftains simply do not like being disturbed.

Of course, as a young, modern-educated chieftain, this low profile seems a bit unusual.

Nonetheless, there was still no media coming to disturb him, and even if there were, Oshan’s officials would privately handle the matter.

During these days, within the palace, Bai Xiaosheng had already discreetly met with Hogson, Anlos, and Brady several times.

Sometimes all three would attend, sometimes not everyone would be there, or Bai Xiaosheng would invite only one or two of them.

Most of the time, they discussed work, various aspects of investment, development, and progress, along with any emerging issues.

Other topics were not meant for outsiders, especially those concerning Brady.

Speaking of Brady, although in the cooperation within Oshan, he reluctantly complied due to circumstances and profit, working seamlessly with Bai Xiaosheng, it was limited to just that.

On the Zhenbei Group level, he remained a steadfast supporter of Bai Xuanyu, maintaining an opposing stance against Bai Xiaosheng.
