Chapter 1709

Briar wanted to beca member of the board of directors of Hunt Enterprise so she could decide the fate of

the company and have the right to suppress Stefan.

"I..." It was rare to see Jovan look so defeated, and he kept his head bowed as he muttered, "I can't do it... at

least not right now." "So, we can't reach a deal?" Briar snorted. Why did you askto chere if you can't do

it? You're wasting my time."

Briar turned to leave, but Jovan stopped her. "I only said that I couldn't do it now. You have to givetime, or

else my smart grandpa won't agree. If he gets upset, | might even lose my position, and then | won't be able to

help you at all."

Briar paused and contemplated it briefly. She knew she couldn't push him too hard, so she relented. "Fine, I'll

give you one week. Is that enough?" "I'll give it a shot." Jovan knew that getting what he wanted would just

remain wishful thinking if his offer to Briar wasn't good enough.

Jovan decided to go to Hunt Manor to visit Timothy that night.

Timothy's health was getting worse. He had been lying in bed for a long tbecause it was hard for him to get

up and move around. He was overjoyed to see Jovan, and they played chess and chatted like they used to. "You

seem like a carefree guy, but you're actually quite devoted. You always cand spend twith me."

"Grandpa, please don't say that. You're the one who's spending twithand givingadvice." "What

advice can | give you? | can share sof my experiences with you because I've been playing chess for a long

time." Timothy cleared his throat and moved a chess piece. Instantly, his gameplay becoffensive instead of

defensive, and he started advancing.

At first, Jovan had the upper hand, but he had no choice but to retreat, and could not make a counterattack.

"Grandpa, you're amazing. | can't win this one." Jovan gave up resisting and willingly surrendered.

"Nonsense. As long as the ggoes on, there's always a chance to win," Timothy said profoundly, trying to

give Jovan life advice too. "Sometimes, people are just like chess pieces. Don't forget yourself when you're

winning, and don't be downcast when you're losing... So, tell me-why did you ctotoday?" Timothy was

smart; he knew that Jovan wasn't just here to play chess. He was certain Jovan had a favor to ask of him.

"Ah, you really do knowbest." Jovan sighed and decided to cclean.
