“But I’m not a member of the Dalton family, so I can’t join the company, which I understand. But this lady is also not a Dalton, so why is she allowed to own shares in the Dalton Group?” Hailey raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with curiosity.

She couldn’t help but admire Mattie’s cunning. After over two years with Aiden, a man notorious for being tight–fisted, Mattie had somehow managed to get shares in the Dalton Group.

Even Rose, who had devoted herself to Aiden for years, had only been given the title of Mrs. Dalton–and no real power in the company.

If Rose found out, Hailey knew she’d likely explode with rage.

Aiden’s face shifted slightly. He stared at Hailey, his eyes narrowing. He hadn’t expected her to know this.

Hailey remained unfazed, calmly sipping her coffee, her face serene, betraying no emotion.

Beside them, Thomas, in his fury, swung his cane at Aiden’s leg.

“You… ungrateful son!” Thomas hissed, his voice trembling with anger. “How dare you give shares of the Dalton family to an outsider?!”

“Dad, listen to me!” Aiden’s face drained of color as he quickly dodged the strike.

Father and son clashed violently, voices raised, as their argument escalated.

Thomas, though old and frail, still had enough strength to be furious. His face turned ashen with rage. Though he might have wanted to hit Aiden with the cane, the effort was more a thought than an action–his hands were too shaky to strike.

Hailey glanced calmly at Mattie, who sat quietly beside her, her demeanor gentle and composed.
