William hesitated, staying silent for ten minutes before finally speaking his mind.

"Raymond grew up with me in the military. No one from the Montague family looked after him, but he's a capable kid. He went abroad for three years and made more money than the entire Montague family, but no one knew. The biggest acquisition back then? That was him, and he wasn't even twenty. 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.
