“Miss, my dad and I really have something important to discuss with Grant. Could you make an exception for us?”

Owen hadn’t been here before, so the receptionist had no strong opinion about him.

Besides, Owen looked clean–cut, and now he was smiling warmly while handing her a gift. The receptionist glanced at it and couldn’t help but smile a little.

“Sir, you’re very thoughtful.”

She took the gift with a cheerful smile, then pointed toward the office. “I can’t let you see Mr. Holloway without an appointment. But you can go in and look for one of our vice presidents–maybe they can help you get in.”

Owen nodded gratefully. “Thanks.”

To get things done, Owen and Bramwell kept a good attitude and a friendly smile.

If Bramwell had still been as unreasonable and stubborn as before, Grant wouldn’t have given them the time of day.

But now that they were begging in front of him, Grant swallowed his harsh words.

Grant glanced at them coolly, then swaggered back to his desk and plopped down.

Despite Grant’s blatant disrespect, Bramwell and Owen didn’t complain–they just smiled sheepishly and looked around.

Seeing them so pathetic, waiting for him to casually throw them a bone, gave Grant a secret thrill.

Back then, Bramwell had looked down on Grant.

He’d insulted Grant as fatherless and motherless, mocked him as a cripple.

Now, Grant had become a high–ranking, untouchable figure in the Sterling family. No matter how much Bramwell resented it, he had to bite his tongue and play along.

Grant’s expression softened slightly. “Speak. What do you want to talk about this time?”

“Well, the thing is, we-”

Before Bramwell could speak, Grant interrupted sharply.

“About the investment, everything will proceed according to the contract.”

“Yes, that money isn’t urgent. I know that, Grant. You’re in a phase where you need to spend. I’m not going to push you.”

A mocking smirk curled at Grant’s lips.

He eyed Bramwell with amusement. “Bramwell, you really are a seasoned player, bending and stretching as needed. Last month, you were all teeth and claws with those harsh words. Now you’re shamelessly humiliating yourself.

“Let me think… What did I say then? ‘May you rot in hell‘? Tsk!”

Bramwell kept a straight face, maintaining a friendly smile. “Hey, times change. I was angry back then. Sorry, I spoke too harshly!”

As he spoke, Bramwell,poured himself a cup of coffee in the nearby lounge and respectfully placed his hand on Grant’s desk, lowering his posture.

“Now that I’ve calmed down and thought it through, we’re family after all. What’s money between us? Am I right?”

Grant curled a lip in silent derision.

Bramwell stepped forward a few paces, wearing a sycophantic grin. “We came today to ask a favor. This past half–year’s been full of ups and downs for our family, but the one good thing is that we’re all still together.

“I’ve given it careful thought. I’m getting old. As long as Luna, the baby in her belly, and Owen can live smoothly from now on, I don’t mind taking a loss.

“So I’m asking you to give Owen a chance–let him come into your company to learn and train. If he grows and can support you, wouldn’t that be a great thing?”

By now, Bramwell had approached Grant’s desk. He leaned in with a lowered voice and a smile. “I know you value your friends, but outsiders just can’t be trusted like family, right?”

Grant’s

eyes darkened briefly and unreadably.

He certainly understood what Bramwell was implying–Edgar and those others.

In truth, Grant had already thought this through. Among the roommates and classmates who started the business with him, except for Alaric, the rest had begun to develop other ambitions.

Especially as Grant’s reputation grew, while they remained unknown behind the scenes, resentment naturally built up.

But Grant didn’t care.

The entire company’s power rested with him. Though they were vice presidents, their authority was scattered. And the core technology was led and developed by Grant’s team. They had no access to the most critical parts, so Grant had no reason to fear them.
