Nick looked at Wendy's serious expression, and a wave of panic swept over him. He thought Wendy might be influenced by Natalie. "Mom, can you stop being unreasonable?

"I really can't give you the shares. I know you have your ways to keep the company safe," Others might not know Wendy's abilities, but he sure did. She had been involved in the business world's fierce competition since she was eighteen.

She was trained to become a strong businesswoman by his grandfather. She had been a powerhouse in the business world, securing the Simpson family a place in the bustling city. This gave him the opportunity to become the heir of the Simpson family. Wendy gazed at him intently.

Jason slightly furrowed his brows, looking at Wendy's deep expression, unsure of what was on her mind. He suddenly felt nervous, like he couldn't catch his breath.

Even though it was a cool autumn day, it felt like the depths of winter, and a thin layer of sweat covered his back. "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"

Wendy knew when it came to herself, Jason might not be that nice. Jennifer sure knew how to put on a show. She cried, made a fuss, and threw tantrums, leaving Jason completely baffled.

"Just pretend you didn't hear what I said earlier. I also can't believe your dad would do such a thing to us. Alright, I'm heading to the office. You should get busy with your own work too."

Wendy had been acting strange lately. "Mom, are you
