“Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll give this my all,” Peyton said firmly. “I promise I won’t let anything go wrong with the company.”

He was confident in his abilities. But in this family, he felt like an outsider with no right to speak up.

There were days he wanted to walk away-leave everything behind and cut ties with them for good. But he’d grown up in this family. No matter how broken things got, he couldn’t fully sever the bond.

He was torn, unsure how to navigate this messy relation hip.

Watching Harold and Brandon fight over the company made his heart ache for Iris. Now he understood. why her health was declining so rapidly.

“I’m going to rest now,” Iris said, her voice worn out. “I’ve made everything clear today. You two figure out your own paths. If you want to visit me, I won’t stop you But if you’re only here to take the company? Don’t even bother.”
