Having visited the spa resort a few times, Josiah was relatively familiar with the route. As he was Skylar’s superior, she waited for him to start his vehicle first before she drove out with Maverick and the rest in the

Both cars maintained a steady speed throughout the journey, ensuring a smooth ride. Even Molly, who was the most frail among them, didn’t feel any discomfort.

Susan was an old acquaintance of Howard and Molly, and since she had a gentle and outgoing personality, there was lots of chatter and laughter throughout the journey, Josiah also occasionally joined the conversation, but only Lysander stayed mostly silent, simply gazing blankly at the scenery flying past the car window.

Worried that Lysander would feel a distance from her biological parents, Susan took the initiative to ask, “This is my first time hanging out with you youngsters. There’s a lot I don’t know. Have you decided how we’re going to have fun? It you’ve made plans, don’t leave us old folks behind.”

“The details weren’t fully planned out yet, but since we’re heading to a spa resort, going for spas is a given. Also, the scenery around is worth exploring, especially if the weather’s clear. Otherwise, we can always try out the amenities within the resort itself, including massages and the sauna.”

He was, after all, the chairman with the most shares in Thorne Constructions and Energies. Intimidating a few unsettled executives wasn’t an issue for him.

Seeing that Lysander acting as if she hadn’t heard Howard, Josiah took advantage of the smooth road condition and subtly nudged her under the guise of adjusting the navigation system. The discreet action. went completely unnoticed by the elders in the back seat.

Only then did Lysander snap back to reality, awkwardly responding, “Oh… there’s no need. I informed. everyone earlier that we should focus on having fun since it’s a year–end team–building event. Those who don’t wish to participate can opt for a cash alternative from the logistics department. The ones you’re referring to might not even show up. Besides, I believe ordinary employees wouldn’t want their superiors around.”

“Oh, I see.”

Afraid that Howard would sense something off, she quickly added, “You guys continue chatting about other things. I’m a little tired; let me take a quick nap.”
