When I spoke, even my mom seemed taken aback. In the past, Zoey was far too innocent, always seeing these so-called family members as wise and respected figures. So, despite her dissatisfaction, she never dared to challenge them.

But I'm different now. Having been given a second chance at life, who would I still pamper? Certainly not the Wilchers.

"You brat! What nonsense are you saying?" Benjamin was clearly angry, his already menacing face growing even more intimidating as his eyes glared like the statues of wrathful spirits.

Carter replied coolly. "The marriage between Zoey and me was arranged by the Boltons and the Gardners. It's none of the Wilchers' business. Don't you think your power has gotten too great, Mr. Wilcher?"

"Hey, you should be addressing me as Grandpa. Is this the kind of education the Boltons teach you?" The old man tried to make a show of himself in front of Carter.

At that moment, Bill walked in holding some pastries my mother liked, trying to win her favor.

As soon as he walked in, he sensed that something was off in the atmosphere. While taking off his shoes, he asked, "Dad, what's going on?"

Benjamin quickly noticed Bill's presence and immediately adjusted his attitude, softening his tone, "Oh, it's nothing. Just teaching the kids a bit about manners and discipline."

Though Bill appeared to be merely the Wilchers' son-in-law, he was, in fact, their main financial backbone,

The Wilchers treated him with utmost respect, even Benjamin showed him more kindness.

Clearly, they still didn't understand just how important the Boltons were to Bill. While the Boltons ca powerful force abroad, his real goal was to leverage resources and shift them to the domestic market, making an alliance with the Boltons essential for his plans. Bill gave Benjamin a cold stare. "Who are you to lecture about manners?"

Benjamin replied, "Bill, the younger generation these days is becoming more and more disrespectful. No wonder he's an illegitimate son of the Boltons. He clearly doesn't know how to act, speaking like that without any

Bang!

Bill slammed the pastry box onto the table, and instantly, the members of the Wilchers froze. Even Benjamin began to question whether he had said something wrong.

To his surprise. Bill's expression darkened. "Do I need you to interfere in our family's marriage with the Boltons? Dad, it seems you're losing your touch. Don't you know who he really is? You even told me before that you wanted to collaborate on a project with Atlas Group. He's the chairman!"

Carter had long stepped out of the spotlight, taking on behind-the-scenes role as an investor, hiring professional agents to handle the company's operations. This had caused Benjamin to overlook his true standing.
