Chapter 488

Raymond smirked at the man's words. “We'll have to see how important Bailey is to her, then.”

The middle-aged man was about to say something when he was interrupted by knocking sounds from the door.

“Come in.”

The door to the study was pushed open, and in came the butler.

“What is it?”

“Mr. Raymond, Ms. Juliana wishes to see you.”

Raymond and the middle-aged man shared a look. The former then said with a smile, “Did you hear that? She came right to my doorstep. It seems she wants to cut straight to the chase. If the emerald seal can make her give in and marry my godson, then my godson will possess all of the power and influence of the Hoffman family, which will inevitably fall into the palm of my hand.”

“You're a man of foresight, Mr. Raymond. If Huntley marries Ms. Juliana, he'll rightfully be able to call the shots in the family's name. His taking control is equivalent to you taking control,” the man replied respectfully.

“You may go now,” Raymond ordered, waving his hand.

He then raised his head to look at the butler. “Let her in.”

Soon after, Juliana entered the room.
