h Geoffrey nowhere in sight, Maureen grew restless alone in her room.

Strangely, Jessica hadn’t appeared since their return.

Didn’t she complain to Nicholas?

In the eastern wing’s traditional–style house,

Nicholas sat at the head sipping tea, steward Jonathan standing beside him. Geoffrey occupied the right seat.

Opposite sat Willie with his parents–Geoffrey’s cousin Edward Sutton and Edward’s wife Kathleen Wright.

Grandpa, Kathleen and I rushed back from overseas right after finishing our business deal.

Edward got straight to the point, “I believe family businesses should be managed by family.”

“If Geoff’s too busy, Kathleen and I can help.”

How shameless.

The Sutton Group had been built from scratch by Geoffrey alone, while these two had long secured loss–free companies from Nicholas for their own gain.

Geoffrey listened silently, his lips curled into a cold sneer, waiting to see how far their greed would stretch.

Nicholas, ever the old fox, saw right through them: “Since you offered to help Geoff, you should ask him directly,”

Edward choked, flushing with embarrassment.

Kathleen, knowing Nicholas wouldn’t yield easily, shot their son Willie a meaningful glance.
