“I’ll personally take the reins on the bidding proposal,” he assured her, leaning back in his chair. “The company won’t miss a beat while you’re gone. You being away for a few days is a total non-issue.”

Then, his expression sobered, and he pinned her with a look that was purely brotherly advice. “Riley, right now you’re not just the Harper Group’s acting CEO. You’re also the newest daughter-in-law of the Torres dynasty.

“Look, I know we live in the modern era, but when you’re dealing with an old-money family like the Torreses, tradition matters. Lately, you’ve been pouring all your energy into handling our family’s crises. That’s fine for a short stint, but if it drags on too long, people are going to talk. Even if Sebastian’s parents are saints, you don’t want to give the extended family any ammunition to whisper behind your back.

“Sander’s birthday bash is the perfect opportunity to shut that down. You go there, you mingle with the elders, and you solidify your standing in the family. You need to make sure everyone knows you’re one of them now.”

Hearing her brother advocate so fiercely for her long-term happiness, Riley felt a swell of gratitude. The last of her hesitation evaporated.

That afternoon, promptly at three, Sebastian’s sedan pulled up to the curb outside Harper Group headquarters. After whisking Riley away, they headed straight for the hospital.

Inside the private suite, Zavier was looking better with each passing day. The moment he spotted Riley and Sebastian walking through the door together, a delighted grin lit up his face.

“Dad,” Riley greeted him, stepping forward to explain the trip to Torres Estate.

When she finished, Zavier nodded vigorously. “That’s excellent news. Honestly, you should have gone ages ago. Now that you’re married, you need to show your face at these things, get to know the elders. You can’t just keep bouncing back and forth between the hospital and the office indefinitely. If you do, you’ll end up isolating yourself.”

A short while later, Raymond pushed the door open, carrying a thermos of freshly made, nutrient-rich broth. It was a rare moment of family unity.

Zavier was in high spirits and brought up another detail. “I knew that once Riley tied the knot, she’d eventually need to pay her respects to the Torres elders, so I prepared a gift well in advance.

“Raymond, it’s in the safe in my study. Make sure your sister takes it with her before she heads

out.”

Raymond nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ve got it handled.”

And just like that, Riley’s excursion to Torres Estate was set in stone.

Three days later, the party departed from Nexopolis.

Torres Estate was tucked away in a remote, sprawling compound deep in the countryside, far removed from the city’s noise. To facilitate travel for the clan, they had constructed a private helipad on the rear grounds. Consequently, for this journey, they took Sebastian’s helicopter directly.

An hour later, the chopper began its descent, touching down smoothly on the designated pad.

Although Sander’s centennial celebration wasn’t officially kicking off for another two days, this was a monumental event for the entire Torres lineage. As a result, nearly every relative who could make the journey had arrived early to pay their respects.

Given that Torres Group’s vast business empire was now firmly under Sebastian’s branch of the family tree, the moment the cabin door swung open and they descended the gangway, a sizable crowd of relatives was already gathered near the helipad, ready for a grand reception.

Standing at the forefront was an elderly man with a full head of snow-white hair, dressed in a sharp, burgundy blazer. Even leaning on a polished cane, his posture remained upright and imposing. This was the centenarian, Sander, himself.

The throng parted automatically the moment they appeared.

Sander’s gaze bypassed everyone else and locked onto Riley, who was standing protectively beside Sebastian.

His voice, deep and resonant with the weight of a hundred years, rang out. “Is this the young woman Sebastian just married?”

Wayne immediately stepped forward, offering a respectful nod. “Yes, she is.”

He then turned and gestured for Riley to step forward and greet Sander.

Riley remained the picture of composure and grace.

She approached the old man, offered a polite dip of her head, and spoke with clear, respectful articulation, “Mr. Sander Torres, it is an honor to finally meet you. I’m Riley.”

With that, she retrieved the exquisitely wrapped gift box Zavier had prepared well in advance

and presented it with both hands. “This is a birthday gift from my father. He sends his warmest wishes for your health and happiness.”

The Harper family was a household name in Nexopolis, so something Zavier had personally curated was naturally nothing short of extraordinary.

A middle-aged man standing beside Sander-clearly one of his grandsons-understood the cue immediately. He stepped forward to accept the package.

He opened it right there in front of everyone.
