No one knows how many companies he bought during that time."

He took a sip of water.

"I asked him to come back and take over the Montague Group. That job was supposed to go to his brother. I always trusted Raymond but worried he'd become uncontrollable. His uncles thought I was biased and that I cared too much about him. Really, I was just trying to keep him in check.
