His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0357

Patrick had never been particularly fond of Carmela and Gavin, but Cirroc was a different story. The kid was young and not really tangled up in the family drama. Patrick figured he would cut him some slack.

Patrick, who had been all business, could not help but snort at that, his voice dripping with irony.” Alright then, chairman it is. We’ll go with that.”

Carmela froze, her face a picture of shock that slowly turned to a flushed excitement. “You mean. it, Patrick? You’re really going to make Cirroc chairman? You’re not pulling my leg, are you?”
