Chapter 376 - Jean is all alone in this battle?

It is early evening in the resort and they met unexpectedly, at least they made it look like that.
Raymond smirked as he listened the familiar voice of his fellow 'council leader'.
"Ray, where is your wife hmmm… how come you came here alone" he teased.
"Did she throw you out….haa" he continued
Raymond smirked. "Well, Ed I didn't expect you here at all. Shouldn't you be getting crushed due to Danielle's mood swings" he teased back.
"And my wife is sleeping and she mercilessly kicked me out to bring chocolate cake's and golden doughnuts for her" Raymond sighed.
The counter with doughnuts is empty and his friend here is the last buyer.
"Haha …awesome. You are out of luck man. I think you should wait till they stock up" Ed laughed.
"Ugh….I hate to request you but can you give me that doughnuts. Otherwise I will be not allowed into my suite" Raymond asked.
Ed laughed. "No I can't. Elle is craving for them and she will start blaming me if I don't. Man, pregnant women are the toughest living creatures to understand" he sighed.
"Just some hours back I was in my home, and she suddenly started asking me to bring her to Hawaii. And here we are...as soon as we came she insisted to have doughnuts" Ed sighed.
Raymond gulped his saliva, he and Seline are thinking of having a child as soon as possible. He could already imagine his plight in future.
But he remembered something important and looked at his friend who is waiting for shop keeper to stock up more doughnuts…because Danielle asked five dozens.
"Scott messaged me that Hermes transportations are trying to buy shares of INA. It would be a huge problem to Jean" Raymond said.
"Hmm….they are trying to enter Country X market through INA. Jean will surely face problems because Hermes are having a mole" Ed said.
"Can't you help her Ed. It is your country and you are the king" Raymond asked.
"Ray, let her solve her own problems. She is not impotent right, you can't forget who her parents are. She will surely backfire that Hermes" Ed smirked.
"Is it that Elder Wright and his son. Those Bastards Huh.." Raymond cursed.
"Yeah, it is Elder Wright but not his son. He don't know yet about this pictures. Might be Elder Wright want to test whether Richards are close to Jean or not"
"So, when Jean will be facing adverse problems Richards can't leave her like that right. They will surely help her because Country X is their empire" Ed said.
"Hmm.. So if you let Jean herself solve the problems without your interference they might think that Richards are not that close to her. And they will not suspect her as a council member" Raymond said.
"Yes. Elder Wright is not suspecting Jean on the first place because there are no traces the Jean is close to us, but he wanted to have no stone unturned" Ed said.
"So Jean is all alone in this battle." Raymond sighed. Summers are not that influential in country X and Cyphers moved all its assets to Country A. Even Herren's and Blacks can't help Jean because Country X is solely ruled by the companies related to council leaders.
Even Wrights are powerless. But it is one of the subsidiary family of Braxton's, might be more important one. When it comes to this Braxton family no one knew how many companies they own or which influential family is under them.
Even some of the important person's in Wright family are actually Braxton's in disguise with other surname.
(A/N : Like Edward Wright and his father, grandfather)
"No Ray. Jean is not alone, of course I will be guarding her in shadows. If something goes terribly wrong then I also have a backup plan" Ed said.
If it is anyone who can help Jean it is only him. Others are helpless against Braxton's.
"Thanks Ed. What about Johann and the mission you assigned to Jean, are you sure it is the right decision. I feel you should talk to council founders about it." Raymond worried.
Ed is sending Jean into the lions den. There are high chances that she might even find out who killed her parents. Which is not good to her according to Raymond.
"The soon the better Ray. Within no time Valdez's will realize that Jean is their lost granddaughter and soon following it, our enemies will also find out who Jean is. It is better she find truth by herself" Ed shrugged.
"Everything will go as we planned Ed. You better be careful okay, I am still afraid of the consequences of the game you are playing with them" Ray worried.
"Huh.. Never in their life they can find about what I have planned for them." They dared to hurt his father who is in coma since five years. He will never forgive them.
He will make sure that he himself, Jean and Enrick got their own revenges against that Braxton's. After that they will dismantle the council and have happy life with very big family.
As the doughnuts got restocked they bought as many as dozens they can and left in their own ways. As if they have never met..
...…..
However Jean who is not aware of the storm that is coming towards her is busy in scheming how to pair up Rick with Hope and Shawn with Helen.
It is when she will be happy. According to her Enrick deserves the best girl to love and she believes Hope is the best of best.
And Helen has gone through a lot just her like her. So she needs all love from Summers family and support from Shawn. She want Helen to be her sister.
Though she knew that Hermes are trying to buy shares, she didn't treat it as a threat because she is not aware that they are Braxton's itself…..
