Julian's feigned ignorance froze instantly. He stared at Caspian in silence, as if seeing him for the first time.
Caspian's eyes held nothing but affection. "I know you have an obsession. You've never let go of your mother's death. If defeating your father helps you find peace, of course I'm willing to help you."
Julian looked down at the card. "Grandpa, aren't you afraid I'll do something to harm the Ravenshire family?"
Caspian's tone was unwavering. "I know you won't. Julian, you have two paths. One is to swallow up the Ravenshire Group and strip your father of his power. The other is to become a pioneer, to build your own business empire, surpass the Ravenshire Group, and rise above your father."
A faint light flickered in Julian's eyes, but it was quickly hidden beneath his long eyelashes.

In the other side yard.
Aurelia stood under a tree, pacing back and forth, her brow deeply furrowed as she hesitated.
Stop being nosy. Lara is vicious and bullies the weak. She thinks Vivienne has no one to rely on, which is why she targeted her. This is the Obsidian Estate, they wouldn't dare make a huge scene. Vivienne will probably just get beaten up, but she's not the type to swallow her anger. She'll definitely fight back. It's good to let Lara learn a lesson so she stops ruining other people's lives.
The Trellis Gate ahead looked like the giant eye of a beast, magnifying the hypocrisy in her heart to the extreme.
"What the hell are you mumbling about?"
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a dark figure jumped out of the shadows. Aurelia was so startled her pupils dilated, and she fell to the ground.
Bianca slowly stepped out of the shadows, eyeing her suspiciously. "What guilty conscience do you have to be this scared?"
Aurelia clutched her chest, her heart pounding.
Finding it boring, Bianca looked around. "I don't have time to play with you. I need to find Vivi."
After taking two steps, she realized her dress was being tugged by Aurelia. Bianca frowned. "Don't tell me you're trying to fake an injury."
