"Grandma." Zoren broke the silence between him and Old Mrs. Pierson, watching her slowly gaze up at him. "You told me... you'd let me know if you hear anything about a person named Jonathan."

He paused, letting that settle for a moment. "Why didn't you tell me William Pierson came to you and mentioned him?"

Old Mrs. Pierson gave a sharp huff, thinking about what to tell her grandson. However, before she could speak, Zoren spoke again.

"You never go back on your word, Grandma," he continued, stressing the point. "You never do that to me, so I believe you'd never do this on purpose."

"I appreciate that, Renren." Old Mrs. Pierson smiled wryly, sighing heavily once more. "What am I going to do now, Renren? I don't remember asking William for any test or discussion about this illegitimate child."

Zoren raised his brows, then furrowed them. "You don't remember?"

"Butler Hubert confirmed it for me that William Pierson indeed visited me some time ago. However, I don't particularly remember... all of it," she explained helplessly but still managed a smile. "I'm old, Renren. Illnesses and other things are events that shouldn't be surprising at this age."

Her wrinkled face softened in defeat. "I don't think I can hold the chair much longer. If an important matter like this is something I won't remember, then I am no longer fit to sit in the chair."

Although both Old Mrs. Pierson and Zoren knew that she was holding onto this power because of him, she should have retired long ago. After all, even if Old Mrs. Pierson rarely meddled in the business and family affairs, she still had the final say when necessary.

"Others would soon find out about this, so it's best if I retire," Old Mrs. Pierson suggested, though her tone was more of a declaration. "Otherwise, they'd try to take advantage of it."

Her lips curled bitterly. "Would you be fine with that?"
