“How should we handle this?” Casper asked as he did not want to continue waiting.

“Ms. Stalling, shall we let the Hunter family go?” Tony looked at Victoria as they were on her turf. Moreover, Victoria was the one in danger. Hence, Tony could not do as he pleased and needed to seek her opinion.

Darian smirked coldly. “I don’t need any pity from you! Are you trying to play the saint against my malice? I wanted to take your life earlier, so I’ll repay you with my life now!” He dashed toward the wall, attempting to end his life after finishing his sentence. However, Jake restrained him by tugging his shirt and knocking him out cold with the back of his head.

“I will go with Mr. Lane’s wishes. There are only a few left in the Hunter family. Let’s not end the family’s lineage.” Victoria waved her fan at Jake. “However, the gold silk and feather jacket and stained glass lamp will be mine. Since you used them as baits, I’ll take them.”

Jake thanked Victoria. “Thank you for sparing us, Ms. Stalling!” He supported Darian and walked through the crowd, leaving Victoria’s Chamber.

Casper realized that Jake’s expression remained emotionless. “Is his face paralyzed? Why doesn’t he have any expression on his face?”

Tony explained, “His mother passed away when he was little. Subsequently, he was severely ill. His hair turned white overnight, and his face remained expressionless. He had been like that since then and followed his father to travel around. I didn’t have the time to visit him when I was in Horington. What a pity! He’s such a good child. How great it would be if he was born to my family!”

Winston appeared disappointed as Tony had always praised strangers and wanted others to be his son. On the other hand, Winston had never received praises from Tony. He was close to forty years old, and Tony had never praised him, nor did he pressure him to get married. On the contrary, Tony kept criticizing that he was not capable enough.

While he was distracted, Tony patted his shoulder. “I leave the rest of the matters to you. I’m tired and will be going back to rest. You’ll be the head of the Lane family from now onward.”

Winston was surprised and almost could not react in time. Immediately, he kneeled in front of Tony. “Dad, you must think this through thoroughly. My capabilities are far from being able enough for the position. Let me send someone to bring Wyatt home from school. He’s the best person for the position.”
