They didn't dare to offend Jared Hughes now, and they were eager to please him.
However, if they were to personally visit him and offer gifts, the act of seeking favor would be too obvious. They thought it over and decided to take a more indirect approach.
Since Jared Hughes had made a clear stance during the dinner party, they should also make their stand.
The best way to show their attitude was to directly target the Barratt family.
Although the Barratt Group has been doing quite well these years, they were well aware that without government support, the company would probably have been long gone.
There are no eternal friends or enemies in this world; as long as there are benefits, they would naturally stand on that side.
MK's momentum was unstoppable, and the Russell family was also a powerful and wealthy family.
Basically, no one in their country dared to provoke these two families.
So, in order to gain Jared Hughes' favor, others decided to target the Barratt family.
