Calvin felt powerless and believed his efforts were in vain. He thought nothing would ultimately change, no matter how much he exerted

himself.

He questioned the purpose of investing more effort, as his father seemed unwilling to pass on Murray Corporation, and the looming threat of Jimmy’s aggression remained

Despite Calvin’s laziness, Benny did not remove him from the company. To avoid being labeled an idiot and considering the numerous hardworking contributors to the company’s success, Calvin adopted a more relaxed approach and enjoyed a steady income.

However, he struggled with the uneasiness that his son was surpassing him.

Jennie chuckled, realizing the wisdom in dropping the matter by saying, “That’s enough. Why always hold onto anger toward your son?”

Sandra agreed, “She’s right, Calvin. Clayton is impressive.”

On the other hand, Keanu frowned and said, “Regardless of accomplishments, being a good son is crucial!”

Keanu and Sandra had been working t

together for over two decades. They knew how to support Jennie and complement Calvin.

Calvin seemed even more arrogant when he heard their remarks.

Clayton stood at the door and listened to the familiar scene that had unfolded since childhood. It seemed absurd that Calvin had been content playing the same role his entire life.

Meanwhile, Channing, Mandy, and Queenie quickly descended the stairs.

As Mandy sat down on the arm of the couch next to Calvin, she remarked, “Dad, Clayton’s house is huge, but some of the rooms on the second floor are locked. He might use them,”

“Why does he have to lock the door when his family is here?” Calvin questioned. He was displeased.

“Calvin, remember, we’re guests in Clayton’s house. Act accordingly,” Jennie reminded him. She turned to the siblings and Queenie, saying, “Don’t touch Clayton’s things without permission.”

She ensured they promised her before letting them go.

Calvin sighed and looked at Keanu, admitting, “Jennie excels at raising children. As for my rebellious son, he caused me a lot of pain, but he was dedicated to his work afterward. If only he could learn to be a good son like Channing, his success would surpass the current level!”

Keanu nodded and said, “I agree. Jennie has a knack for disciplining children. Even my father often says Queenie is lucky to have grown up with her aunt. Otherwise, she won’t be as successful as she is now.”

While Jennie continued conversing with the three children, she pretended not to hear them, though the smile on her face suggested otherwise.

However, Sandra felt uneasy, wondering, “What does he mean? How can he solely attribute my daughter’s success to her aunt? Where do I, the mother, fit into this?”

Despite her reservations, she smiled awkwardly at her husband’s words. She recognized the need to flatter Jennie, whom she considered a
