Madison gave her daughter a gentle pat on the back. "Sweetheart, how could your dad not step in? Helping Andre is just another way of helping you. When it comes to our daughter, we're all in.
As soon as everything went down, your dad was at Cedillo Inc. first thing to see his son-in-law. It was your husband who insisted we keep our distance from the Cedillo family, to let the world think we're not getting along. That way, the Irvin family dodges any drama, and we can lend a hand to the Cedillo Group later on. That's why we've been keeping quiet."
Mia nodded, understanding. "I figured you guys would back up my husband, but you treat me like a kid and leave me out of the loop, making me guess and prod for answers."
Madison shot back, "What does a young thing like you need to know all this for, anyway?"
Mia replied, "See, there you go again, calling me a kid. Just like my husband does. When it comes to big stuff, you all act like I haven't grown up. But look down at the little bundle you're holding, and tell me who brought him into this world."
Madison looked down at her grandson, Henry, who was flashing a toothy grin and cheerfully called out, "Grandma!"
"Oh, my darling grandson, my little treasure." Madison showered him with kisses. "Grandma loves you so much."
Henry snuggled in his grandma's arms, content and angelic for a few sweet minutes.
Within a mere three days, the Cedillo Group was back on track.
On the Dark Web, the sound of a porcelain cup smashing to the floor echoed as a man hurled it in frustration.
A subordinate spoke cautiously, "Mr. Kon, Andre's got a bunch of divisions under his belt. Even though he took a financial hit, it only took a day for the Cedillo Group to bounce back. The Irwin family, the Calder family, the Rossis, and others... they've all got his back. Now, everything under the Cedillo Group is running smoothly again."
Kon clenched his fists, his anger simmering. Just then, Maja strolled in. "Andre's got over a dozen international companies in his pocket. His business web is already a tangled mess. If you want to take him down, you'd have to make all his branches disappear. Otherwise, you'll never be able to economically cripple the Cedillo Group. He's already got all his bases covered."
Over at Crescent Park, in a swanky top-floor suite, five dashing men were lounging around.
Asher had gotten even more tan, and Mars was ribbing him, "Asher, you're so dark now, only your eyes are still white. Haha, you look like the dark goblin from the old tales, haha."
Then, Mars got a swift kick to his tailbone, and he clammed up, holding his backside.
Conner casually kicked back with his legs on the coffee table, "Alright, guys, remember to bring your gifts to me and Annie's wedding, okay?"
Mars, ever the forgetful one, chimed in, "Conner, you haven't even found your sister-in-law yet, and you're dreaming about a wedding? You say she wants to take you down every day. Who knows if you'll even make it to your wedding day?"
