In the end, the person who might get hurt was the one who didn’t fight or compete. Even without internal conflict, it was unlikely anyone in the Tucker family could truly handle such a heavy responsibility.

Sophia had nothing left to say. Deep down, she thought Christian had been cunning and shrewd–a part of her admired it, but a sharper part burned with resentment.

She turned and walked out of the Foster Group building.

Camellia went after her.

Jonathan looked at Damian. “Grandpa did the right thing.”

Damian gave a slight nod. “I hope you can all understand his reasoning.”

“This is the best path forward. If she shows up for work tomorrow, I’ll respect her for having guts. If she doesn’t, then she never really deserved what Grandpa tried to give her in the first place.”

The two men shared a smile and a brief, solid hug.

“My sister didn’t misjudge you,” Jonathan said.

“Well, you’d better step up. Your future nephew’s college fund is counting on you,” Jonathan added, his relief finally visible.

He had genuinely been worried this situation would damage the harmony between their families.

Jonathan glanced at Caroline, who was standing nearby.

“Aunt Caroline, sorry you had to witness all that.”

Caroline offered a gentle smile. “Sophia is a good kid at heart. She has potential.”

Potential–there were plenty of areas where she could still grow.

Jonathan knew his own sister well enough.

“Does Isabelle know about any of this?” he asked.

“Not yet. I’ll tell her when I get home,” Damian replied. He had been concerned that all the back–to–back events would distress her, so he’d kept the details to himself. With her not feeling well these past few days, he really didn’t want outside matters affecting her.

“Alright then, I’ll leave this in your hands,” Jonathan said.

“Okay. Drive safe.”

After seeing Jonathan off, Damian had Bruce drive Caroline to the manor.

Caroline hadn’t felt much like going out lately and hadn’t had much of an appetite. She wasn’t particularly eager to go, but Bruce took his orders from Damian and drove her to the manor anyway.

“Lately, Mr. Cross has been doing most of the cooking. He’s really gotten good at it–Mrs. Cross has even put on a couple of pounds. You should really give his food a try,” Bruce said, making conversation on the drive so Caroline wouldn’t feel awkward. He shared.

Caroline seemed to lighten up a little. She listened with interest, especially when Bruce mentioned their occasional arguments. Damian didn’t stay long at the office before heading back home.

He had taken over operations some time earlier and had already handled the pressing matters. The company’s shareholders had initially been anxious–if someone from the Tucker family held majority control, who knew what direction the group’s performance might take. But with Damian, the CEO of Cypher Group, at the helm, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief. They approved of his leadership and cooperated fully.

When Damian arrived home, he found Louis in the kitchen, wearing an apron and looking busy.

“Dad, what brings you here?” Damian asked.

Louis frowned, his expression one of mild annoyance. “You should know why I’m here. You called my wife over–who’s supposed to have dinner with me tonight? You have your own wife, yet you come and steal mine…”

Louis didn’t particularly enjoy hanging around with the younger crowd. His own son was a little rascal–always kissing his wife, even in public, without a hint of shame.

All Louis wanted was to spend his later years peacefully with Regina, the two of them enjoying their time together. He’d planned to relax at home that evening, have some wine and a quiet chat, but then Damian had called Regina over.

“She is my mother,” Damian said as he took off his suit jacket. A maid nearby took it from him.

He walked into the kitchen and neatly tied an apron around his waist

“Your mother–but all you ever think about is your wife. You only remember you have a mom when you need something. You made a whole batch of your famous pot roast last week and didn’t even invite us over,” Louis muttered under his breath.

Damian found it both amusing and exasperating.

There had been a severe storm system moving through the past few days–he simply hadn’t had the chance to invite them. The weather had just cleared today, and right after that, a slew of urgent matters demanded his attention.

Preparing a nice meal for his wife had somehow turned into a reason for a grudge.

He knew better than to argue and simply took the mild scolding in stride.

The three women were gathered in the living room, chatting closely, with bursts of laughter echoing now and then. Meanwhile, the two men were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Damian leaned against the counter for a moment, taking in the scene. A slight, unconscious smile touched the corners of his mouth.

Happiness felt tangible in that moment.

The Foster family affair was settled–everything had finally fallen into place.

“Dinner’s ready!” Louis announced.
