Compared to Jason Hawthorne’s "letting things fall apart," his elder brother Wade Hawthorne is actively socializing and visiting relatives and friends, almost every day he’s out having tea with acquaintances.
In the early days, Wade was cautious, fearing his father might call him for a talk, but after several days without any movent, he beca more obvious in his actions...
At night, Wade and his wife Penny Leighton were chatting in bed, "What do you think the old man’s intentions are? Would he not know that I’ve been getting close to several top executives in the company lately?"
Penny thought for a while, "With the old man’s astuteness, he definitely knows."
Wade nodded, "I dare not speak for anything else, but in this regard, the old man has always been very observant, keeping a keen eye on our every move. The fact that he isn’t calling to talk can only an one thing."
Penny looked at her husband, eyes gleaming with excitent, "Do you an the old man is tacitly approving of our actions?"
Wade sipped his tea, "Tis change, and the old man can’t let the Fourth Young Master hold onto that good position forever. Our Jasper is not bad either and deserves a chance to hold that position."
Penny was full of happiness, "Exactly! It’s about ti it cos to us."
The couple beca increasingly happy as they talked, further firming up their determination to engage more with the company’s executives during the New Year, as winning them over would benefit Jasper’s future position as heir.
Joy for one family, sorrow for another!
Wyatt Hawthorne, the second son, was keeping an eye on the movents of his elder brother’s family, quietly hoping his father would call him out, but after days of quiet, he beca anxious.
Lana Hawthorne, the third sibling, could only comfort her brother, "Maybe Father doesn’t know?"
Wyatt furrowed his brows, "How could such an astute person as Father not know?"
Lana was puzzled, "If that’s the case, does it an Father is allowing our elder brother’s actions? Is he dissatisfied with the Fourth Young Master?"
Wyatt anxiously lit a cigarette, "I hope Father doesn’t know, otherwise it would be disadvantageous for us!"
Lana agreed, "If our elder brother succeeds, our days will be difficult."
Wyatt sighed, "I understand our eldest brother too well. Once he takes charge, we won’t have any opportunity."
Lana pondered, "So should we support the Fourth Young Master this ti?"
Wyatt thought for a mont, "Let’s watch the situation for now. I have a feeling the Fourth Young Master is not easy to deal with and might be using this vacation as a cover."
Lana didn’t reply, indicating they could only wait and see as the situation unfolded.
Returning to Aethelburg, Laura Quincy went back to her own apartnt. Staying every day in Jason Hawthorne’s lavish Hillside Villa felt awkward since it wasn’t really her ho!
No matter how luxurious it is, one’s own little ho is more comfortable!
But barely an hour after her return, she heard knocking at the door, curiously went to check, and it was Phoebe Turner!
She turned away, choosing to ignore her.
After ringing the doorbell for a while without any response, Phoebe Turner shouted, "Sister, I know you’re ho! If you don’t open the door, I’ll sit here and refuse to leave!"
No response.
"Sis, if you don’t mind disturbing your neighbors, then don’t open the door."
Still no response.
"Sis, I have plenty of ti and energy; should I publicize all your deeds here? I bet the neighbors would love so gossip. Moreover, if you don’t open today, I’ll co again tomorrow, I don’t believe you’ll stay inside forever!"
Phoebe Turner threatened convincingly, having paid the property staff to get there so quickly in the first place...
Laura Quincy had no choice but to open the door, "Phoebe Turner! There’s nothing left to say between us. I don’t want to know or have the ans to deal with your purpose in coming!"
Phoebe Turned shifted to block the door, "How could you not have any ans? Sis, I know your relationship with the Fourth Young Master isn’t ordinary, he might take action for you against mom; surely he’d listen to your words."
Laura responded coldly, "You’re overthinking it; I have no relationship with him."
Phoebe didn’t believe it one bit, "Sis, stop deceiving yourself! Aside from the Fourth Young Master, who else has the clout to vanish all news about you within half a day? We’re family, I’m not asking you to pull us up as you succeed, but don’t push your family into a pit after your success!"
Laura eyed her coldly, "Phoebe Turner, can you speak these words with a clear conscience? How did you and your mother treat ? Did she think once about what I might face when she signed that agreent? Did she have any ounce of pity for ?"
