The existence of Daniel Rand has already posed a great threat to the RAND Group, no, to their brother and sister's control of the RAND Group.

And now that Daniel Rand has found Jerry Hogarth, with her support, it will be much easier for Daniel Rand to regain control of the Rand Group, and in this situation, because of the surveillance of S.H.I.E.L.D., they can't humanely destroy Daniel Rand, so Joey can only persuade Ward to be ready to negotiate with Hogarth, and destroy all evidence that can prove Daniel Rand's existence.

All of Daniel Rand's records, his birth certificate, his doctor's exams, even his library card, anything that recorded his DNA and fingerprint samples were erased by Joy and Ward.

Even the X-rays of a broken bone when he was a child, which few people know, were burned in front of him, and he could only watch helplessly because he wanted to save others.

In this case, Daniel Rand couldn't help but explode, angrily came to the door, and quarreled with the Joey brothers and sisters in front of many people.

When Daniel broke a bone, only Ward stood by his side, and in addition to the parents of both sides, only Ward knew best.

Joey really didn't know that Ward had even sent someone to do this in private, knowing that once Ward did something excessive, S.H.I.E.L.D. would intervene.

In the end, Joey still stood in Ward's position, after all, it was her own brother, and she and Daniel were completely broken.

The place where the two sides quarreled was a lunch restaurant, and the diners were all high-ranking people in the bustling neighborhood of Manhattan, and the two siblings Joey and Ward were not only embarrassed by this, but more importantly, the news that Daniel Rand was alive was well known to some people.

You know, among the people who dined together that day, there were many people from Wall Street, these people were very sensitive, just from the two siblings Ward and Joey, as well as Daniel Rand, they could guess a lot, coupled with the fierce attitude of both sides, it didn't take long for many people to quietly buy more shares of the Rand Group in the stock market.

Those people on Wall Street are very greedy and very resourceful, they first collectively work together to hold up the stock price of the RAND Group, and then short-sell the backhand, usually when this happens, the stock price of the RAND Group will be like a flood discharge from a dam, and it will plummet for thousands of miles.

Of course, the current Ward and Joy have not yet noticed the secret methods of the group of people on Wall Street, and now the stock price of the RAND Group has not fluctuated much, and it is still rising, of course they will not care, and now the two people are staying in the chairman's office of the RAND Group.

"Give me all the information you have about Danny, everything." Instead of accusing Ward of doing something, it was useless to do it now, she stared at him and said, "I have to see Hogarth tomorrow, I don't want to be caught off guard like I just did." ”

Ward originally thought that he would be scolded by Joey, but he thought too much, Joey was like what she said, no matter when, no matter what he did, she would firmly support him behind his back, just like he did in the restaurant just now.

Ward took a deep look at Joey, didn't hesitate any longer, turned around directly, and handed Joey more than a dozen files from the secret safe behind him, these were all things that Joey didn't know, and Ward didn't tell her, and these were all handled privately by Ward.

It's a little unbelievable that Ward is hiding so much behind her back, and Joey looks at Ward angrily, she is flipping through these files, she wants to avoid the things recorded in these files will cause them harm.

"Don't you think it's okay to say to Danny what you said to us just now." Ward looked at Joey with concern, he knew that Joey had been trying to solve this matter with moderation, and what she said today had gone against her original intention.

To be honest, Joey now regrets not telling Ward, S.H.I.E.L.D. is also watching this matter, maybe if he knew about it, his means of doing things might be a little more restrained, but now, there is no turning back.

With a deep sigh, Joey looked at Ward and asked in a low voice, "I don't know why things have to get so complicated, I really hope I can find something in Danny that I hate, if that's the case, I'll feel a lot easier." ”

To be honest, after so many contacts with Daniel Rand, Joey can see that his nature is very simple, not much different from the child who grew up with her 15 years ago, which is why she can't bear to use too ruthless methods.

The current scale of the RAND Group is inseparable from the abilities of Ward and Joey, Ward has a group of people of his own, and Joey also has a group of people of her own, these people are doing some things for them that are secretly unseemly, but compared to Ward's subordinates, Joey's methods are much gentler, but they are not without ruthlessness.

Of course, these methods are used against outsiders, and Joey really hasn't used any means to be like Daniel Rand, who belongs to his own category.

Ward could feel Joey's mood fluttering, and he whispered in defense, "Have you forgotten, he just tried to attack your brother. ”

"Huh!" Joey gave Ward a blank look without curiosity, if it wasn't for Ward doing something out of the ordinary in advance, Daniel wouldn't have come to the door directly.

Shaking his head, Joey said casually, "Danny once said that his father went to see him in the hospital, maybe he is really as crazy as you say." ”

"What!" Ward couldn't help but have a face full of surprise, while Joey shrugged his shoulders indifferently and left Ward's office directly, she didn't notice at all, just after she finished speaking, Ward stood there in a daze.

The next morning, Ward and Joey met with Daniel Rand and Jerry Hogarth with a five-member group of lawyers.

This was a very formal meeting, not only with recordings, but also with a special court recorder on the side recording every conversation between the two parties, in which every word said by everyone had the force of law, which was equivalent to testifying directly in court.

"Nice to see you again, Jerry." Ward looked at Jerry Hogarth, who was sitting across from him, chuckled and said hello.

In any case, Jerry Hogarth is the lead counsel of the RAND Group, which pays her law firm a large sum of money each year.

Although Jerry Hogarth is now sitting on the opposite side of him, Ward has no intention of dismissing Hogarth as legal counsel, because contractually, this is an internal affair of the RAND Group, and in this case, Ward wants to terminate the contract, and he needs to pay a large termination fee.

Hogarth thought very carefully about this matter, when Hogarth was almost squeezed out of the law firm by his partner, Ling Xiao tried to terminate the contract with her law firm, and then signed a contract with her personally, Hogarth told Ling Xiao that this path would not work, because Hogarth himself set extremely detailed and strict terms and conditions in the contract, and this liquidated damages were paid, even the Siwei Group could not be underestimated, and she did not want this money to fall into the hands of others.

Similarly, such a liquidated damages is not easy to come up with in the RAND Group, and the board of directors will never agree to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cash, even if Ward and Joy jointly occupy most of the group's shares, but it is difficult to convince others, especially this matter, which also involves the issue of the shares of the two of them, which is even more impossible to pass.

Hogarth was confident in this, and she nodded at Ward and said, "I wish I could say that, but ......"

"Alright, let's get started!" Joey interrupted Hogarth and Ward's conversation, then nodded to each of them before he spoke, "We've changed our minds since our last proposal. Due to the constant harassment and threats of your customers to my brother and me, we decided to lower our offer to 20 million with a restraining order. ”

"A restraining order is a clever attempt." Hogarth's face was calm, she glanced at Joey and Ward, and then said, "But since your last offer, we've changed our minds. We still insist on getting all the rights as the sole heir to RAND, which includes a 51% controlling stake, a seat on the board of directors and indemnity, but now we also have a corner office, a support staff, and a housing allowance of $1 million a year. ”
