The ring tone of Andre's phone echoed. He glanced at the caller ID, and then turned away from his wife, Mia. Mia tilted her head, curious. "Why is he avoiding me?"

After the call ended, before she could approach him for a chat, Andre found his father. They went to the study.

Mia stood in the living room, shaking her head from side to side. "What's going on?"

Jack left Finley and returned to the company to find his father. Given the sensitive nature of their conversation, the father and son returned home.

Coincidentally, the gambling enthusiast, Cecilia, was also home.

"Dad, the man who came to see me today, he wants to collaborate with us. He didn't disclose the specifics of the collaboration, but judging from his movements today, I think it must be something shady." "Who was at the meeting today?"

Jack thought of the three people at the meeting today. "Mr. Marlow was also there."

Aiden was shocked and stared at his son.

Jack admitted, "Kendrick's superior."

"Jack, there's something fishy about this. We can't agree. For now, we should still ally with the Byrne family. A strong alliance is the best strategy."

Cecilia, who had been listening on the side, also got it. She didn't want to get involved, but upon hearing that it involved the Byrne family, Cecilia immediately said, "Jack, we have to work with them on this." Aiden and Jack looked at her.

Cecilia, considering herself clever, said, "You've been sucking up to the Byrne family, but they're indifferent to you. Yes, they are powerful. But do they have to be so arrogant? Now a higher-ranking leader is seeking you out. You definitely can't pass this up. Right now, you're dealing with a secretary, but in the future, you'll be dealing with someone even higher up."

Aiden looked at this stupid woman. "Nonsense, didn't you hear what Jack just said? It's shady. If things go wrong, our son could end up in prison. There's a line between politics and business. We can't get too involved."
