"It's impossible for him to forget Sierra." Liam mentioned, a shadow passing through his eyes. At the same time, his grip on the cup subtly tightened.
No amount of time could make someone forget their loved ones.
Janet didn't notice the shift in his emotions and instead answered impatiently, "I really don't understand what's so great about Sierra. And what did Benson mean when he said she's helpful for his career? Just because she's a designer?
"There are plenty of talented designers out there. We could hire more to help Benson. Why does it have to be her?"
"Because Dad likes her. And he feels guilty toward her."
"Guilty?" Janet's eyes widened in confusion as she looked at him.
"Mr. Bobby once saved Dad's life, and his health deteriorated because of that. If it had been Dad who was injured instead, Bobby wouldn't have died at a young age. Sierra wouldn't have been left as an orphan. Dad has always carried that guilt because of that.
"He promised Mr. Bobby that he would take care of Sierra, and when she marries, he will give her five percent of Gray Group's shares as a wedding gift to ensure she never has to worry about money for the rest of her life."
"Five percent of the shares? That much?" Janet gasped, completely shocked.
Currently, Theo had the largest stake in Gray Group—with 40 percent. Liam had 20, while Edward controlled 30. The remaining ten percent was split among various shareholders. If Edward gave Sierra five percent, she would become a shareholder of Gray Group.
"Has Edward lost his mind? How could he make such a promise? Why have I never heard about this before? How do you even know?"
