Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Helping You Trick Your Younger Brother

Julian Sterling’s plan for the sponsorship had fallen through. He had to think of another way!

The more Ryan stood in his way, the more he felt the need to act fast. He couldn’t let his brother keep the upper hand!

He’d worked so hard to drive a wedge between them. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. He couldn’t afford to wait.

Right now, his relationship with Evelyn Grant was precarious and could change at any moment.

But any new plan would have to get around Ryan Sterling, and that wasn’t going to be easy to come up with.

’The only option right now is to find a way to get Ryan Sterling to go abroad!’

’As long as he’s not around, won’t it be easy to control Evelyn Grant and her family?’

But... what could possibly make Ryan Sterling leave the country?

After thinking it over and over, he realized he would need his mother’s help.

"Mom, can you fake an illness for me? Get Ryan to go abroad with you for treatment?"

"What? You want me to lie to your brother? If he finds out, my relationship with Ryan will hit an all-time low!"

Florence Morgan didn’t dare agree to this immediately.

’How could I do that?’

’My relationship with my younger son is already strained. If I help my older son with this, I’ll have no idea how to ever fix things between us.’

"I really don’t have any other choice! I had already started making my move, thinking I could slowly mend my relationship with Evelyn Grant, but Ryan just swooped in and cut off my sponsorship for Alex Grant. Not only that, he offered three times the amount! My company... I can’t come up with that much money right now."

Florence Morgan thought for a moment. "Well... how much are you short? Maybe Mom can scrape it together for you? I can still figure something out for the money."

"Mom, even if I match his offer and the principal chooses me, Ryan will just offer even more money at a moment’s notice! Can we really get into a bidding war with him?"

Julian Sterling was very clear on this point.

’I can’t possibly have more money than my brother. Besides, it’s all his own money, so he can pull it out instantly!’

When it came to sheer numbers, he definitely didn’t have the advantage.

"Then... then I still can’t help you lie to your brother like this! Julian, you have to think about it from my perspective. If this gets out, your brother will hate me!"

"Mom, what are you so afraid of? You’ll always be mine and Ryan’s mother. Even if he gets angry for a while, we can fix it later! We’ll just take it slow." At this point, Julian had no one else he could turn to.

He had originally planned to use Evelyn Grant’s family to make his move, but that path was now blocked.

Julian would never forget the attitude he’d gotten from Alex Grant when he went to see him at the school.

’To cut ties with me, she already told her family about the divorce. That means I can’t use them anymore.’

"No, absolutely not. You’ll have to think of something else!"

This time, Florence Morgan’s attitude was uncharacteristically firm.

Although she strongly disapproved of her younger son being in love with her former daughter-in-law—a fact she found utterly shameful—she couldn’t lose a son over it.

After all, the Sterling Family’s situation wasn’t exactly optimistic at the moment. Her younger son was the only one who could really hold up the family’s reputation.

They might need him for matters big and small in the future.

Once she offended him, how could their relationship possibly be repaired?

Especially since... Florence Morgan knew exactly how much her younger son loved Evelyn Grant. It was as if she were his entire life.
