From a business standpoint, he had analyzed the situation logically and figured that the Torres Group would most likely bid independently.
With such a formidable competitor, the alliance Aiden had proposed between Quinn Group and Harper Group was undeniably a smart move-one that could significantly boost their odds of success. Setting aside his personal character flaws, it was actually a sound proposal.
But now… everything had changed.
If he was the kind of man who would endanger his own sister for profit-a cold-hearted opportunist-then cooperation was out of the question. From this moment forward, Harper Group would sever all ties with Quinn Group.
“I get it,” Raymond said, his voice low but resolute. No hesitation remained. “I’d rather lose the bid than work with someone like that.”
Hearing her brother’s unwavering stance, the knot in Riley’s chest finally loosened.
Thank God. At least Raymond wasn’t being reckless or stubborn.
His concern for her outweighed business interests.
That meant she no longer had to worry about him being blind to the truth or becoming Aiden’s next pawn.
That evening, the night deepened over Nexopolis.
Riley returned home after an exhausting, high-pressure workday.
The moment she stepped into the living room, she spotted Miranda and Wayne sitting on the sofa, speaking in hushed tones.
When they noticed Riley, Miranda straightened up, her face lighting up with a warm smile. “Riley, you’re home. You must be worn out, right? Come sit down. By the way, how’s your father doing at the hospital? Sebastian’s father and I have been tied up with some charity foundation projects lately, so we haven’t had a chance to visit him again.”
Riley walked over and settled beside Sebastian. He instinctively took her hand, his thumb tracing gentle circles over her knuckles-silent reassurance,
She offered Miranda a soft smile. “Thanks for asking, Miranda. Dad’s been doing much better lately. His mood has been great these past few days. With the nurses and doctor helping him,

he’s even managed to take short walks in the hallway. During today’s rounds, the doctor said if his test results stay stable and nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to recover at home soon.”
“That’s wonderful news. Your father is truly fortunate,” Miranda said, nodding repeatedly, visibly relieved.
Then, the living room fell silent for a few seconds.
Miranda glanced at her son, who sat beside her with an unreadable expression, before turning her gaze to Riley. Her lips parted as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.
Riley had always been perceptive, and she instantly read Miranda’s hesitation.
“Miranda, we’re family. Whatever’s on your mind, just say it. No need to be formal with me.”
Miranda let out an awkward chuckle, realizing she’d been too transparent. “It’s nothing major, really. It’s just that in a few days, Sander-the last surviving elder of the Torres family-is turning one hundred. He’s been highly respected all his life, and this time, the celebration will be held at the Torres family’s countryside estate, Torres Estate. It’s going to be a huge event, and most relatives who can make it will be there.
“Your father and I were wondering… could you take a few days off from work and the hospital? If possible, you could join us. But the estate is quite a distance away, so round trip, it’ll probably take three or four days.”
After hearing Miranda out, Riley felt a flicker of emotion.
She and Sebastian had rushed into marriage.
They had planned a proper visit to the Torres family to meet everyone, but Melissa had faked an illness and ruined those plans.
After that, one crisis after another had struck the Harper family, and she and Sebastian had never found the right opportunity.
All things considered, a centennial birthday was one of the most significant occasions for a family with the Torres Group’s deep roots.
As a daughter-in-law of the Torres family, she couldn’t just skip it.
With that in mind, Riley didn’t decline outright. Instead, she turned to Sebastian, then gave Miranda a warm, agreeing response. “Miranda, this is important. I should be there. But Harper Group just assembled the bidding team for the DreamWorld project, so I’ll need to talk to
