The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1594

Jonathan was bewildered. "Father, are you sure you're not mistaken? I have no dealings with the Gardners. How could I have offended them?"

Skyler frowned. "But the Gardner family is actively working against us on business deals. It's not public yet, but if this continues, The Williams Group will end up like The Burton Group."

Skyler looked at his son. "I heard from a business partner that you're the one who upset them. Jonathan, if The Gardner Group decides to burn money to come after us like they did with The Burton Group, they might not be able to destroy our foundation, but we will suffer heavy losses. The market is tough right now. We have no quarrel with the Gardners, so there's no reason to take such a hit. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Father," Jonathan said gravely. "If I'm responsible for this, I'm willing to apologize to them."

Skyler's expression softened. "They haven't escalated things yet, which means there's still room to resolve this. Here's what you'll do: fly to Aetheria personally and meet with the head of the Gardner family."

Skyler had received a hint from a friend that the problem could be easily solved with a simple apology. To him, an apology was a small price to pay to avoid billions in losses and a major conflict.

As the future heir of the Williams family, Jonathan knew how to be pragmatic and prioritize what was important. "Alright, I'll have my assistant make the arrangements immediately."

That afternoon, Jonathan was on a plane to Aetheria.

Though the Gardners were famously low-key and mysterious, the location of their estate was not a secret. Jonathan took a private ferry to the Gardner family's exclusive island. The island was unbelievably vast, stretching as far as the eye could see. It made sense, given that the Gardner family was a large and populous clan. The whole island belonged to them; the Williams family couldn't compare in sheer numbers.

Jonathan arrived at the main gate of the Gardner estate and stated his purpose to the guard.

"Hello, I am Jonathan, the eldest son of the Williams family. I'm here to visit the head of your family. Could you please announce my arrival?"
