Chapter 969 Yakov Takes Over

The atmosphere in the Faust family was oppressive. First, Zeke's eldest son passed away.

Then, his eldest grandson was sent to prison. He'd lived many years but had never

encountered such a bleak situation.

In the living room, the whole Faust family was silent. Julian looked at his father and

grandfather, then turned to his sister for help.

"Isabelle, when can we leave?"

Their grandfather called them over to have dinner, but now he wouldn't let them go. Julian

had never liked staying in Faust Manor, so he moved out as soon as he became an adult.

He rarely spent as much time there as he did today.

Isabelle gave him a cold look and said, "Be quiet. Can't you read the situation now?"

Their grandfather obviously had something to say, and it was likely related to the current

situation of the Faust family. Julian didn't offer any valuable suggestions but was in a hurry

to leave instead. If Zeke knew, he would be furious.

Julian was dismayed at her reply. He'd made plans to go out with his friends that night. If

he didn't leave soon, he'd miss out on the chance to join them. Although he couldn’t wait

to leave, he dared not say it out loud. He didn’t want to provoke his grandfather.

After a while, Zeke sighed heavily. "Yakov, you're aware of our situation right now, aren't

you?"

"Yes.” Yakov nodded.

"Tell me. What do you think?" Zeke looked at him, but he didn't have much hope for his

second son. Although he was meticulous in his thinking, he was too verbose and couldn’t

accomplish great things.

However, Zeke didn't have much of a choice now.

Yakov raised his head and looked at his father. "It's obvious that someone is targeting our

family, intentionally releasing some bad news about us to cause panic among outsiders."

In just a few days, Faust Group's stock had hit several consecutive daily limit downs, and

they’d had lost at least tens of billions in their market value. But that wasn't the most

crucial point, as the market value would eventually recover as long as the crisis subsided.

The key concern now was thinking of a way to resolve the current crisis.

"You're right," Zeke agreed. He knew who was behind all the trouble, but he chose not to

disclose it explicitly.

He said to Yakov, "Now that your elder brother is gone, and Luke won't get out of prison

any time soon, the Fausts are in your care now."

Although he didn't trust Yakov's abilities, he had no choice but to put him to the task.

Yakov wasn't very capable, but Zeke believed that his second son could become a fitting

head of the family with his patient guidance. After all, both his sons were intelligent.

"Don't worry, Dad. I won't let the Fausts fall into the hands of others!" With those words,

Yakov would take on the responsibility of leading the Fausts and sorting out the mess it

was currently in.

Zeke nodded with satisfaction. If Yakov could resolve everything perfectly this time, he

would announce to the outside world that he'd officially handed over the Faust family to

him. Even if Alec had objections to it, what could he do? After all, Faust Group's shares

were in Zeke's hands, and he could give them to whomever he wanted. No matter how

powerful Alec was, he couldn't control Zeke's will.

Upon leaving Faust Manor, Julian took a deep breath of the fresh air outside and looked at

his father standing beside him. "Dad, are you really going to take over the family?"

"What else can I do? With the current situation, the family will fall into Alec's hands if I

don't take over." His thoughts were the same as Zeke's-Alec was an outsider to the main

family, even if he was a Faust. Although Julian didn't really care for their family affairs, the

death of Xavier affected him deeply.

"That's true. But I'm afraid of Alec..."

"Don't worry. I can protect myself." Besides, would Alec dare to attack him? His guess was

Alec wasn't so bold as to make another drastic move like that unless he wanted to spend

the rest of his life in prison.
