Casper looked at Brian with a disappointed expression, pointing at him. "How could you make such a mistake? You're just like your father, obsessed with women!"
Brian frowned unhappily. "Grandpa, it's fine for you to lecture me, but it's none of others' business."
"Just look at yourself, still defending that woman! What's so good about her? I heard you spent a lot of money on her before! And what did she give you in return?" Casper said.
Brian furrowed his brows tightly, his voice low. "I've followed your instructions and gone on blind dates. What else do you want?
"Should I follow all your arrangements? What's your next step? Make Nelson replace me as the leader of the Francis Group?"
"You!" Casper sighed heavily.
"Brian, can't you understand my good intentions? I just hope you can succeed! As for Nelson, let's be honest, he's just a bastard! Do you think I really want him to replace you? Impossible!"
Outside the door, Nelson listened silently to the conversation inside.
There seemed to be a sinister light lingering in his eyes, and his emotions were unreadable, but his smile grew increasingly cold.
*****
Since Casper came back, Shawn and Jaclyn were worried about causing trouble for them, so they went back home.
But the couple still occasionally went to pick up and drop off the child at the Francis family.
Shawn and Jaclyn had to go back home for farm work, so Grace and Jasmine went to pick up her child.
With the trouble in the Francis Group, Casper was becoming increasingly displeased with Grace, and Grace tried her best to minimize her presence. During this time, she barely spoke to Brian privately.
Meanwhile, Casper kept urging Brian to hang out with Marley.
Seeing him dating another woman, Grace felt sad and realized she still cared about him.
"What do you mean?" the assistant asked.
Nelson took a deep breath and said, "Casper sees me as an outsider from the bottom of his heart!"
He almost gritted his teeth when he said the latter part of the sentence, clenching his fist tightly.
"But it's fine. I know what Brian's weakness is!" Nelson said.
After a while, he gestured to his assistant and whispered something in his ear.
*****
Grace had been distraught for the past two days. In the afternoon, she received a call from Jasmine.
"Grace, I sprained my ankle. Are you free to pick up the child?" Jasmine said.
