If Iris hadn’t given Peyton the authority to stop them, the company would have been ruined long ago. Yet they still felt resentful-an absurd thought that frustrated Peyton.

Once, he’d believed family should stick together. He’d never wanted to cut them off completely. But after repeated disappointments, he’d grown tired of their greed and cruelty.

“Don’t think I’m too old to know what’s happening at the company,” Iris said firmly. “I see everything. I just choose not to speak up sometimes.

“You’ve given so much to this company over the years. I’ve watched it all. You truly want what’s best for it- I’m not blind to that.

“Even if you’re not my biological grandson, so what? You’ve called me Grandma for decades. You’re already the most important person in my life!

“Iris, thank you for forgiving me,” Eleanor said, her voice trembling. “I didn’t understand back then. I just couldn’t bear to lose this baby-he was like my life. I was young and naive, thinking this secret would stay buried forever.”

She scoffed, “Everyone knows how he’s treated me. I stopped caring about blood ties long ago. Family is whoever treats you sincerely.”

Despite her age, Iris saw things clearly. She was open-minded, knowing exactly who had her best interests at

Their conversation was cut short by Donna’s shrill voice from outside “Who let you in? You’re not welcome here. Get out!”

Donna stormed in, her eyes filled with hostility and arrogance.

“That’s enough!” Iris snapped. “If anyone shouldn’t be here, it’s you Don’t think I don’t know what you’re after. I’ll never hand the company over to you!”

“He’s not worthy of being a Reed!” she continued, her tone harsh. “I admit we haven’t contributed much to the family, but we’ve never done anything to betray it. They’ve gone this far, and you still forgive them. Why can’t you forgive us? Everyone makes mistakes!”

Donna spoke with shameless confidence. She was determined to seize control of the company-claim everything that belonged to Iris. In her mind, none of it should go to Eleanor or Peyton.
