Lucius chimed in, “I can help the Burnetts resolve all the business gaps mentioned earlier. Furthermore, if the Burnetts need a loan, I can act as a guarantor on behalf of the Scathings as the successor.

“I can also assist in pinpointing market prospects that the Burnetts are pursuing. Considering that the Burnetts steer clear of political affairs, several current market regulations might not align with your interests.
