Matthew’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Looks like it’s useless to you, whether it’s taking the subsidiary from you or dismissing you!” Liam looked at him coldly. “You don’t have to come to the company anymore, then! The projects you have are to be distributed to the Hamerton kids!”

“Zephyr, make arrangements for it. Those who take over must have a virtuous character. No more blunders!”

He had a lot of peers in the family. His elder cousins were mature and steady people who were trustworthy.

“As for the western suburbs land…” Liam thought about it. “Zephyr, take full charge. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”

“Alright.”

Zephyr wore a small smile.

“Grandpa—”

“Alright, I’m tired.” Liam waved his hand and got up with his cane. “I do not wish to talk about this further.

“Work well with Nelly.” He turned back and said at the door, “Maybe you’ll realize that a woman like Cordelia isn’t the best for you!”
