Mia, too, turned her attention to Timothy, curious to hear what Heath had relayed.

With a stoic expression, Timothy broke the silence, "Heath is already handling the termination of the partnership on behalf of the company; it just requires a bit more time."

"Tim, there's something off about this. Given that it's just a minor branch, why would Heath need to make a personal visit to cancel the partnership with the Bowen family? Is it possible that there's opposition from someone within the subsidiary?"

"So, it was him, huh? I remember he was kicked out of the Barrett Group due to bribery. Your mother certainly stirred up quite a rift between you two. And after that, I heard he vanished without a trace. It turns out he ended up at the Nord City branch,” Caleb recounted. “That's right,” Timothy confirmed. "I honestly didn't expect my mother to arrange for Uncle Ralph to be transferred to the Nord City branch.” “It's no wonder such a bizarre event unfolded at the subsidiary office.
