“Bnderstood, Simon replied, pulling his gaze away and following Darell over to where Julia and Curtis were waiting.
“Wath things like this? Trad still thinks we can make peace? Is he kidding?” Hector was so fed up he almost had to laugh.
Daisy let out a sigh. “Hector, Julia’s got a point. Dad’s health is going downhill, and he can’t take any more drama. Let’s try to keep things cale tonight and not set him off.”
I don’t want to upset Dad either, but are we just supposed to let Victoria suffer in silence?” Hector sighed, feeling helpless.
Victoria smiled. “Dad, in a way, I’m already one of the heads of the Binder family. You really don’t need to worry about me having to swallow my pride. As long as Grandpa doesn’t ask for anything over the line, I’ll do my best to go along with whatever he wants for the rest of his days”

at this moment. Simon truly looked drained and defeated. Calvin couldn’t help but sigh again.
But he didn’t let his feelings show in front of Darell’s family. Instead, he quietly walked over to Hector’s family.
“Dad. Hector and Daisy said in unison.

Calvin smiled and nodded, then his eyes landed on Victoria. He watched her closely, trying to see how she would react to Darell’s family arriving.
Victoria noticed her grandpa’s gaze and gave him a sweet smile. “Grandpa.”
Seeing Victoria’s smile, Calvin finally felt a weight lift off his chest. She didn’t seem to be showing any obvious hostility or resentment toward Darell’s family, and that made him genuinely relieved.
“Good kids, it really warms my heart to see you all here to pick me up today,” Calvin said, his voice full of emotion.
“Dad, I’m not really-” Hector started to say he wasn’t exactly thrilled, but Daisy tugged at his sleeve and shook her head, signaling him to drop it.
After all, Julia was right. Calvin’s health wasn’t great, and she didn’t want to upset him.
For Daisy’s sake, Hector bit his tongue and kept quiet.
“Alright, let’s head home,” Calvin said, rubbing his temples. “I’m not as tough as I used to be. That flight really took it out of me–my head’s spinning and I can’t get any rest. Victoria, could you help me out with some acupuncture in the car to help me unwind?”
“No problem, Grandpa,” Victoria replied.
After they left the airport and Calvin got into Hector’s seven–seater, Curtis turned to Julia and said seriously, “Dad, Mom, Grandpa came back this time specifically to help Simon get the poison out of his system. So please, don’t go upsetting Victoria tonight. This could be Simon’s last shot at getting cured.”
Julia quickly replied, “Curtis, really? You think your dad and I don’t know how to prioritize? Simon, trust me, I promise I won’t do anything to upset Grandpa or Victoria tonight.”
Simon nodded. “Yeah.”
Julia was eager to get moving. “Come on, let’s get back to the Binder family home. Maybe if Grandpa’s feeling generous tonight, he’ll let us move back into Silverwood Villa.”
So Victoria could easily perform acupuncture, Hector and Daisy took the back row, while Victoria sat with Calvin in the second row.
Once they were in the car and Calvin was settled, Victoria pulled out her acupuncture kit. “Grandpa, let me give you some acupuncture to help you relax.”
“Thank you, sweetheart,” Calvin murmured, closing his eyes.
Victoria took out a silver needle and applied it to the hollow just behind the spot between Calvin’s brow and the outer corner of his eye, on the side of his head.
Soon. Calvin felt his head clearing up. He turned to ask about the company. “Victoria, how’s it been since you took over Brightstar Entertainment? Any plans for what’s next?”
Victoria smiled. “Everything’s going well so far. If all goes as planned, I’m aiming to acquire Gale Entertainment first. I’m already making moves toward that goal.”

Calvin looked genuinely surprised. “You want to acquire Gale Entertainment? Are you serious? Gale’s been around forever in Benwig City–it’s one of the classic names. Sure, they’ve lost some ground lately, but their reputation is still solid. That’s not something you can just pull off easily.”
Victoria shot back, “Grandpa, didn’t you hand me the Binder family business so I could grow it and make it stronger? Why act so shocked when I say I’m going after Gale Entertainment? If I don’t have the guts for something like this, how am I supposed to take the Binder family to the top?”
Calvin was left speechless for a moment, then admitted with a touch of embarrassment, “You’re right. If I can’t even think big, how can I expect the Binder family to go anywhere? I really am getting old–there are things I just don’t have the nerve to chase anymore. The Binder family’s future depends on young people like you fighting for it.”
Hearing that, Victoria gave a meaningful smile. “Grandpa, since you’ve entrusted the Binder family business to me, you should really focus on your health and get some rest. If there are things you don’t absolutely need to handle, it’s best to leave them be.”
Calvin picked up on the undertone in her words and sighed quietly. “Victoria, it seems you’re still a bit upset about me inviting Darell and his family back to the Binder family home for dinner tonight.”
