Whether the Price family did wrong or not, Drake should know that the Price family was home-grown in Sealand and Sophia was just a stranger in Sealand. However, he was now helping a stranger to deal with the local people.
"Mr. Riley, if I hadn't heard it from my son myself, I wouldn't have come to you. Drake really made a mistake this time."
The Old Riley looked at him, "Don't worry, I'll help you."
"Thank you, Mr. Riley."
"You're welcome."
With the Old Riley's help, Marley had nothing to fear.
Drake was quickly called home.
"Drake, tell me, did you step in the case of Sophia and Mrs. Price?"
Drake understood what the Old Riley meant.
"Yes!" He didn't deny it.
"How ridiculous!" Old Riley stretched out his hand, which was trembling as he pointed at him, "How could you do such a foolish thing? I can pretend you've never done those stupid things for Sophia before, but now, you made a stupid mistake for her again! Aren't you afraid she will get you killed?"
Drake had a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Grandpa, Sophia was revenged on by the Price family because of me. If it wasn't for me, the Price family would not have gotten her into trouble."
"She asked for it!"
"Cecelia picked on Sophia from time to time. Sophia had reason to fight back. Then Cecelia and her mother used this way to deal with Sophia. Grandpa, how confused you are! You even think that they are right!"
"How dare you accuse me!"
"No, I'm just making a statement of fact!"
"You are really crazy. Since Sophia appeared, you ... you become ridiculous. I don't think you are suitable for your current position. Your brother Roman will take the position for now!"
The corners of Drake's mouth were raised. "Grandpa, just do what you want! I have no objection."
Turning around, he left.
The Old Riley was pissed off at Drake's words, and his high blood pressure seemed to lose control.
Olivia gave Roman Riley a timely nudge, and Roman hurried to the Old Riley.
"Grandpa, my brother has always done a good job. I've never been in the company, and I don't know how to run the company at all. I think you should take back your words!"
The Old Riley gave him a look, "Don't worry. Just call me if there's anything you need. I'll help you."
"But Grandpa ..."
"OK, that's it!"
The Old Riley turned away in anger and left.
Roman and Olivia looked at each other and then smiled smugly.
"Mom, it's a godsend this time. We didn't do anything but I get such a position. It's wonderful."
"You should not be too happy.You have not been to the company before, and the management will certainly question your ability."
"Isn't it a good chance for me to show them all I've learned over these years?"
"No! Now is not the time to show it. Roman, listen to me, you should hide your true ability for the time being."
"So what do I have to do?"
Although the relationship between the two families seemed to be good, they might break with each other in the face of the real interests.
But Drake was convinced that he and Flynn would never end up breaking with each other.
Flynn wanted to say something else. Drake advised, "You don't have to worry about anything. Even if it's not your dad this time, my stepmother will try other means to take me down?"
"But ..."
Drake looked at him and cut him off. "Do not blame yourself. It's not a big deal. Sooner or later, my stepmother and brother will show their true intentions, and now is a good opportunity for me to know them."
Flynn did not feel better after hearing his words. After all, the Price family caused it.
"But seriously, Drake, now we're both out of work."
Drake gave him a look, "What's going on?"
Flynn smiled bitterly. "I have never had a problem with my family before. I lived a quite good life together with my family, but I didn't expect they would have such terrible world views and do so many bad things. I do not think I can do the job in the Price Group anymore."
Drake understood. "Okay, don't think about it so much. Take a break for now!"
Flynn picked up his glass and clinked it with Drake's.
Aside, Bailey stayed with them.
He was indeed in a much better situation. Chloe had promised him that they could date to see if they fit each other. Also, he performed well in job. So, now both his career life and love life went smoothly.
The news about Drake, naturally, was heard by Sophia.
Edwin gloated at Sophia's side. "I guess the Riley family is going downhill now. It's said that no one can stand on top forever, and I finally get it. I'm so happy to see the Riley family being doomed to end."
