The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 66:

Joshua chuckled lightly. “We were married for years. “Ties like that don’t just disappear.”

Jerald, always in tune with his son, understood without words. He waved his hand dismissively, recalling his own past. “They're just women. Have fun if you want. I’m not involved.”

Joshua turned serious. “As for the Green family, I have everything under control. There will be no problems.”

Jerald agreed. “As long as you're sure.”

His thoughts then drifted to Caden, frowning. “Caden holds a grudge. “I lost my temper today, and I’m not sure what I might do next.” The way Caden had looked at him earlier reminded him all too much of Caden's grandfather: intense, cold, and brooding. At only twenty-five, Caden looked ready to take on the world.

Joshua, sensing Jerald’s concern, reassured him, “He’s your son. What can I really do? “If he had real power, he wouldn’t have gone down without a fight.”

Jerald closed his eyes briefly, considering his son's words. Joshua handed him a glass of water and continued, “I’ve been looking into Caden’s assets overseas since he returned. He's been hiding things well. “I suspect he’s keeping some secrets.”

Jerald frowned. “What kind of secrets?”

"Something big. Financial problems or worse. His pride wouldn't allow him to come back just to compete for an inheritance, unless there's something more."

Jerald’s expression softened as the idea sank in. It made sense. Furthermore, given the scope of the Yates empire, why would Caden willingly give up the inheritance?

Still, as long as Jerald remained in control, Caden could do nothing.

“We have her mother to thank for that,” Jerald murmured, “giving me everything she had.” He looked at Joshua, offering a rare compliment. “Alicia reminds me of her.”

Joshua smiled. “Thanks for your guidance, Dad.”

Jerald took a sip of water, pondering for a moment. He knew Joshua had a knack for pleasing people, but he also knew deep down that Joshua wasn't on Caden's level.
