James couldn't believe it. After all these years of radio silence, a distant branch of the family had the nerve to come sniffing around for the family assets. It was downright shameless.

Xavier was busy in the kitchen when someone told him he had a visitor. Stepping out, he saw a middle-aged guy in a suit and sunglasses sitting at a table, flanked by two bodyguards. Xavier had a pretty good idea who this was.

Vernon looked at Xavier with a smug grin. "Do you think I'd come to this dump for no reason? I heard you're managing the Bishop family's assets. I'm Vernon Bishop, a descendant of the Bishop family. The late Valencia was my great-aunt. I'm here to take over the family assets."

Xavier raised an eyebrow at Vernon's arrogance but stayed calm. "So, which branch are you from?"

Vernon sneered at Xavier like he was some lowly servant. "Dexter Bishop was my great- grandfather."

Xavier nodded. The Bishop family did have a branch from Dexter, but they were distant relatives, at least five generations removed.
