Chapter 885:

At the Herrera family residence, Aliza sat at the dining table, showing little interest in her meal and aimlessly picking at her food.

Kathleen set her fork down, glanced at Kristopher, and turned to Aliza with a frown. “Aliza, what are you doing? You know better than to behave like this at the table. Haven’t you remembered the manners we taught you?”

With frustration, Aliza let her fork drop loudly onto her plate and exclaimed, “This city is so dull. I can’t find anyone interesting to spend time with.”

Kathleen picked up a shrimp, placed it onto her daughter’s plate, and responded in a soothing tone, “Times have changed. It’s easy to find new friends now. If you’re feeling isolated in Isonridge, why not look elsewhere? The Hinks family from Egoshire is visiting soon. They have a daughter; maybe you could befriend her.”

Kathleen had initially intended to mention that the Hinks family was wealthier than many in Isonridge, but she held back with a side glance at Kristopher. The Hinks family, originally from Pinecrest where they owned casinos, had relocated to Egoshire. There, they expanded into diverse industries, growing their wealth substantially through partnerships with international financial groups.

In contrast, the Herrera family’s ventures were in newer markets. The Hinks family, who prioritized quick profits over legacy or status, could be particularly useful allies.
