“Of course. As long as you pass the test, we’ll hand over the shares to you, no strings attached,” Michael said. glancing over at Max. “Max, don’t make things too tough for Rebecca. Just make it simple for her.”

Max’s gaze was deep and inscrutable.

He parted his lips slightly, his voice as cold and indifferent as always. “If it’s a family test, rules should apply equally to everyone.”

“Rebecca’s the only sister we’ve got,” Liam added. “C’mon, just go easy on her. We’re really just going through the motions here.”

Jack observed their back–and–forth, a flicker of subtle sarcasm in his usually laid–back gaze.

“Your brother’s not wrong,” Michael said.

“Ms. Jensen never had any family guidance growing up,” Victor added. “If we treat her just like everyone else, it’s going to be tough for her to pass.”

“That’s right,” Michael and Victor said, one after another.

Michael and Victor took turns speaking.

Both Michael and Victor were putting on an act, pretending they really had Rebecca’s best interests at heart.

“Max, the head of the family’s already made it clear. Just cut her some slack like he said,” Peter added, not even bothering to hide his sarcasm. “Rebecca’s no Amelia, she’s just not that talented.”

Max pressed his lips into a thin line, giving off his usual ‘don’t get close to me‘ vibe.

Rebecca couldn’t care less about all this drama.

‘Honestly, I can see right through every one of them,‘ Rebecca thought to herself. ‘It’s always obvious what they’re really after and what their words truly mean!

After hanging around Jeffrey for so long, she’d gotten a solid read on people–figuring out who’s genuine and who’s just playing a part was getting easier every day.

“Why even bother with a test? We all know it’s just for show,” Peter said, clearly here for the drama. “Stephen and I are more than happy to hand over our shares to our niece. Honestly, let’s just skip the fuss and sign the contract already.”

The moment Peter finished, the room fell into a stunned silence.

Michael gave Peter a glare so fierce, it looked like he was ready to chew him out right then and there.

“Michael, what do you think?” Peter asked, stirring the pot on purpose.

“That’s fine,” Michael replied, maintaining his steady, authoritative demeanor. He naturally glanced at
