Otto and Cyrus hailed from the Sinclair family, and there was a considerable age gap between them—with Otto being 20 years younger than Cyrus. While it seemed highly plausible that Otto could be Cyrus' son, this scenario appeared impossible according to the timeline.Chloe fell into a contemplative silence, scanning her surroundings and noticing the names "Fairlight" and "Briarlake" written on the right and left of the front row. The auction was scheduled to commence in ten minutes.Clearing a path through the crowd, Otto approached Joseph with a smirk on his face. "Mr. Joseph, I've heard so much about you."Joseph glanced at the hand extended toward him, his expression filled with disdain. "What do you want?"Otto froze for a moment, but he soon regained his senses and smoothly retracted his hand. His eyes narrowed mischievously as he asked, "I was just wondering which property you plan on acquiring.""I haven't made up my mind yet," Joseph replied coldly.Chloe observed the m

Undaunted by the threat, Otto pointed at Chloe and continued, "This woman might be one of Harold's spies who was deliberately planted to keep you under control."Chloe's anger reverberated through her voice as she retorted, "I’m not!"Harold was pushing Joseph for an arranged marriage when they first met, so she was worried that Joseph would believe in Otto's nonsense. With a sly and cunning grin, Otto added, "Have this woman accompany me for one night and you'll receive information about Fleurette's whereabouts. The choice is yours.""Fuck you!" Joseph's anger reached its peak, and he kicked Otto in the chest.A fierce struggle ensued between the two, escalating the situation beyond control.Chloe's first instinct was not to break up the fight but to help Joseph. She could not stand Otto's despicable behavior either, and he deserved to be taught a lesson. Gathering whatever objects she could find, she hurled them at Otto. This unexpected attack briefly caught him off guard, pro

After his discharge from the hospital, Joseph threw himself into relentless studying and handling the affairs of the Whitman Group despite facing ridicule and scorn from others. Eventually, he came to realize that simply running the Whitman Group well was not enough if he wanted to truly become powerful.To Preston and his family’s joy, Joseph resolutely chose to venture abroad for entrepreneurship. He aspired to become an independent man, not merely one attached to the Whitmans. His endeavors bore fruit as he achieved recognition in the business world. Harold, both delighted and anxious, busied himself with arranging matters about Joseph's marriage. Joseph felt somewhat helpless, not wanting his life to be controlled by others, but he was willing to make concessions for Harold.It was precisely at this moment that Chloe appeared. She was like a sun, bringing warmth to his otherwise dull and mundane life. Despite doing things that often upset him, he found himself enamored with her

Chloe felt like her heart was in her throat, making her unable to articulate her emotions. She had worked hard and earned recognition from her teacher for achieving excellent results, only to discover that Joseph had already spoken to the teacher and secured her a high score.She understood Joseph's good intentions but could not shake off her unease. She felt that all her efforts had been in vain. She had put so much heart into that proposal, yet Joseph seemed to doubt her capabilities.Noah watched her expression closely and retrieved a brochure. He passed it to her, saying, “I’ve set up an office in Estre, which compliments your business quite well. We can collaborate if you’re interested. As for your family's company, we can explore a merger if you think it's viable."Chloe was astounded. "You're opening an office in Estre?""I like Estre, and my grandfather also wants me to gain some experience there.""But why me?"Noah scratched his head and smiled gently. Two dimples appea

Cyrus' voice remained indifferent as he said, "Don't resort to killing to solve your problems. It's too bloody."Xavia swallowed her next words, thinking that he had done far bloodier things in the past, so why hesitate now?"The Sullivan Group is a partner company of the Whitman Group and Fairlight, so don't touch them. When I take over, I don't want these two companies to become useless messes." Not only did he not want to be the one to clean up the messes, but he also knew that Fleurette would feel heartache over such a situation."Okay… But what if Noah tries to blackmail me with it?""Having more allies is better than having more enemies. Do you know what I'd like to see?" Cyrus asked, his voice dripping with venom. "I know... You want to see the Whitmans isolated and defeated on all fronts," Xavia replied.From the other end of the phone came a low chuckle. That was right. Cyrus despised the Whitmans more than anything else in his life. *About a week later, Harold se
