Chapter43

Before hanging up, they agreed to meet at a restaurant.

Katherine sighed, looking helplessly at Jacob. “Let’s go.”

Two figures–one tall, one small–walked out of the airport.

The White Family’s driver had been waiting outside with the car.

Once inside, they headed downtown.

Jacob kept his eyes glued to the window, asking about everything he saw.

Katherine patiently answered each question: “That’s Karaville Central Plaza, owned by the Sutton Family. That shop- ping street originally belonged to the Ramirez Family, but Geoffrey acquired it later. Surprisingly, it’s thriving now…”

Mid–sentence, she caught herself: “Silly me, why am I telling a child this? You wouldn’t understand.”

She pointed sweetly at a building: “See that? It’s full of toy stores.”

To her surprise, Jacob turned with utter seriousness:

“Aunt Katherine, I’ll be four this September. I’m not a three–year–old kid anymore.”

Katherine choked.

Lost for words again.

The car rolled along, soon arriving at the restaurant entrance.

Meanwhile, at Sutton Group…

Geoffrey exited the building, Andrea following closely as they entered a black Cadillac.

En route, Geoffrey absentmindedly flipped through contracts.

Andrea sat beside him: “Geoffrey, take a break.”

“No need.”

His reply was ice.

Andrea sat in silence.
