Though ranked second among the four wealthy families, the Cooper family harbored no desire to settle for the runner–up position. For years, they had been competing with the Calhoun family secretly, creating a bitter rivalry that was nothing short of mutual animosity.

Of course, it was the elders who were at odds; the younger generation didn’t really care.

Joshua was always taught to learn from Owen and to surpass him. As a result, the name of Owen was practically his nightmare.

Owen narrowed his eyes and recognized hit, greeting, “Hi. Joshua”

They’d only met a few times, so Joshua was pleasantly surprised that such a busy man like Owen could remember him.

Suddenly coming face–to–face with his nightmare. Joshua was a bit flustered.

Previously, his impression of Owen was formed at banquets, where Owen seemed exceptionally aloof and detached. unapproachable, like a celestial being from outer space.

However, upon meeting privately, Joshua discovered that he wasn’t as icy and unattainable as he seemed. At least, he would greet people.

Owen naturally took Hailey’s backpack. His long, pale fingers were particularly beautiful, and then he asked Joshua casually. “I’m taking Hailey out to eat. Want to join us?”

Owen frowned slightly: he didn’t play games, so he didn’t quite understand what Joshua was saying, but he guessed Hailey was quite the gaming pro.

“Aren’t we going to eat?” Timely, Hailey interrupted Joshua’s endless chatter.
