Chapter 366
Now that he was in Evervale, Jarron’s first encounter was with Tracy.
The Smith Cuisine Hall was situated in Evervale. While there were a few branch locations in the country. the Smith Cuisine Hall in Evervale was the flagship establishment, with Tracy effectively overseeing its operations.
Jarron arrived to dine at the establishment.
Cynthia cast a few discreet glances in Jarron’s direction. Subsequently, upon returning to the kitchen, she contemplated for a brief moment and made the decision to ascend to the upper floor in search of her superior, Tracy.
“Master, Jarron from the Smith family is here. I’m not sure if he’s seeking you,” Cynthia conveyed with a touch of concern.
After Isaac’s collapse, several significant developments unfolded within the Smith family. With Olivia’s assumption of leadership, the family’s affairs began to stabilize. The Smith Cuisine Hall, in particular, had flourished, enjoying heightened visibility and a surge in business.
Cynthia earnestly wished to avoid any further unexpected developments or disruptions.
Upon receiving the news of Jarron’s arrival, Tracy’s hand, holding the recipe, froze, and her countenance displayed signs of displeasure.
Nonetheless, her experience and composure set her apart, rendering her more stable than Cynthia. She instructed, “Bring him upstairs.”
“Master Cynthia expressed her concern.
Tracy shook her head. “We can’t evade this matter. The sooner we meet with him, the sooner we can. discern his intentions. This will prevent us from being caught off guard.”
Cynthia nodded.
Nonetheless, she remained discontented, sensing that the Smith family was excessively intrusive.
Upon being ushered upstairs, the first words that Jarron uttered upon seeing Tracy were, “Tracy, it’s been a while.”
His tone bore a gentleness akin to a spring breeze.
Jarron’s personality bore a striking resemblance to that of Gillian. They both possessed warm and amicable manners of interacting with others, making them highly affable and readily endearing to those they encountered.
Nonetheless, Tracy was not inclined to engage in casual conversation.
Tracy gestured towards the sofa across from him and directed, “Take a seat.
Her tone exuded warmth and gentleness. It wasn’t excessively enthusiastic, nor was it icy or distant. Her demeanor was measured, neither hurried nor lethargic.
“Wasn’t your intention to study in Mala? Why have you returned so promptly?” Tracy inquired, her curiosity piqued.
Jarron let out a soft sigh, and a touch of sadness laced his tone. “Tracy, you’re holding me responsible, aren’t you?
“Blame you for what?” Tracy began to ask, but Jarron carried on, “I was excessively self–absorbed in the past. I rashly deserted everything and fled abroad. I utterly neglected my identity and the obligations. resting upon me.”
He ruminated. I am the Smith family’s eldest grandson. I am duty–bound to shoulder the responsibilities of the Smith family. How could I have forsaken everything and fled abroad?”
“Tracy, I’m aware that you must be greatly disappointed in me. Jarron confessed.
Tracy was speechless.
She thought, ‘How should I phrase it? I am indeed not pleased with you at alll You’d be best off returning
overseas.
While she harbored these thoughts in her heart, she refrained from vocalizing them. Tracy simply lowered her head to prepare a cup of coffee and remained silent, offering no response to Jarron’s words. Observing Tracy’s response. Jarron furrowed his brow. He found it peculiar that Tracy didn’t seem to grasp what was in their best interest.
Rubbing his fingertips, he hesitated for a moment before continuing. Tracy, you’re my elder, and I must contemplate with you. Truth be told, I didn’t initially comprehend my obligations. It wasn’t until the Grant family dispatched an envoy to locate me a few days ago and provided me with a lesson that I recognized my errors!”
The Grant family?”
Tracy’s grip on the coffee pot trembled. She raised her bead in astonishment and queried. “The Grant family? How does this relate to?”
She gave him a thumbs–up in response.
Jarron nodded. “Exactly as you surmised, Tracy.”
‘It was indeed the Grant family! Tracy was taken aback. “Why did the Grant family involve themselves in the Smith family’s affairs? What connection does the Smith family have with the Grant family?”
Tracy, you might be unaware, Jarron’s tone implied, the Smith family has forever been interconnected with the Grant family. For years, the Smith family has been serving the Grant family. It’s just that Grandpa’s sudden illness left him without an opportunity to elucidate this.”
Tracy remained silent.
Jarron went on. Tracy, you’re aware of the Grant family’s influence. The Smith family having the backing of the Grant family is a fortuitous blessing for us. The Grant family now wishes for me to assume leadership of the Smith family. If Tracy is willing to assist me, the Smith Cuisine Hall will reap considerable benefits in the times ahead.”
