Chapter 544
On Leon’s side.
He had just hung up on Evan when Lucas called.
These past few days, his grandfather had stopped caring about anything in the company.
Leon was exhausted.
So when he received Lucas’s call, he could not help complaining, “Did our grandfathers plan this together? Are they deliberately trying to torture us?”
Even the timing of their retirement had been almost the same.
Old Mr. Carter had just stopped managing the company and handed everything directly to Lucas.
Now the Leon’s grandfather had also washed his hands of everything.
“And honestly, they’re not even that old. They’re at an age where they still have plenty of drive. Why are they suddenly refusing to manage anything?”
Leon was exhausted and full of complaints.
Hearing this, Lucas rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone.
“Do you even hear yourself? Your grandfather is almost seventy.”
A man in his late sixties retiring and enjoying his later years was somehow a crime?
Coming from Leon, that age became “still full of drive.”
If someone in their late sixties was still supposed to be full of drive, then what were people in their twenties and thirties supposed to do?
Hang themselves up as decoration?
Leon said, “Isn’t that the age where people love power the most?”
Lucas said, “Fair point.”
Whether they still had drive was debatable, but when it came to loving power, Leon did have a point.
Leon said, “So why did they suddenly become so detached?”
Back when they used to lecture them, they had been terrifyingly fierce.
Compared to before, wasn’t this sudden indifference basically a monk-like state of calm?
Lucas said, “Enough. Stop talking nonsense. Since Redson Group has been handed to you, just hold it together.”
If their grandfathers had suddenly become detached, then so be it. What could they do about it?
Since the companies had already been handed over to them, they could only carry the responsibility.
There was no other choice.
“By the way, did Evan call you just now?”
Leon said, “Yes, he did. Why?”
“Did he ask you to help arrange things for Old Mrs. Wright?”

“yes. How did you know? Did Evan ask you too? Then why did he ask me?”
Leon found it a little strange
Did such a small matter really require help?
Just how ruthless had Stella become for Evan to be unable to handle even this?
Sure enough, marrying a fierce woman was terrifying.
But to be fair, Evan had brought this on himself.
Women already disliked it when their men were unclear with other women, and Evan had never properly handled his relationship with his sister-in-law.
That was why things had escalated to this point.
When Lucas heard that Evan really had asked Leon, he sucked in a breath on Leon’s behalf.
“And you agreed?”
“I did. We’ve been friends for so many years. How could I not?”
Lucas fell silent.
This idiot.
“Did everything I told you before go in one ear and out the other?”
Leon asked, “Wait. What did you tell me?”
“Are you so busy you’ve gone stupid?”
Leon was silent.
Honestly, he really had been so busy lately that he felt stupid/
His grandfather had simply said he was stepping back, and then he really stopped caring.
Now Leon had to handle everything at Redson Group himself.
So yes, he was absolutely overwhelmed.
Lucas snapped, “You idiot. Stella and Evan are at each other’s throats right now. Why would you stick yo neck out? Are you trying to get yourself caught in the crossfire?”
