Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 52

Juliet is head over heels for you. You should have used that to your advantage long ago, Hugo scolded lightly.

"The Lindstrom family shares the same blood. I know you're dedicated to your Municipal Government job, but don't ignore potential business profits, Hugo said, sipping his chamomile tea.

"Help Jaxon whenever you can. After all, you two are brothers. About your mother... Hugo started

Brantley narrowed his eyes, hiding his emotions. I don't have a brother. My mother only had one son."

Watching Brantley walk away, Hugo sighed. He knew Brantley was exceptional but stubborn. If Brantley could let go of his grudges and work with Jaxon, they could lead the Lindstrom Group to new heights. Brantley left the study and bumped into Jaxon, who had rushed back after receiving a call from Queenie, in the hallway.

"Brantley!" Jaxon called out.
