The calm demeanor he had maintained was replaced by a subtle flicker of uncertainty, a chink in his armor that betrayed his inner turmoil."What's going on?"

"Andrea!" Tyler seethed, shooting him a glare that was as fiery as a tempest.However, Lady Guila chose that moment to break her silence, her voice cold and cutting as she addressed the matter at hand. "Andrea is not just my godson; he is as dear to me as a son. The reason I appointed him president was not to conspire against you, Tyler. It was because you're relatively new to the business, and I believed you needed time to understand the operations here. You needed guidance, and I would have provided that guidance myself. However, since I had retired, I asked Andrea to step into the role for a brief period of one month. This was meant to give you the chance to learn the ins and outs of the business before taking on the full responsibilities."Her words hung heavy in the air, a tense explanation that sliced through the tension. Lady Guila's eyes, sharp and unfaltering, bore into both Tyler and Andrea. They held a multitude of emotions, a mix of disappointment, concern, and a deep long

“Ai!” The sound of his laughter rang out, wild and uncontained, akin to the untamed howl of a wolf. Tyler’s brows furrowed in response, caught in a state of dumbfounded disbelief.“You’re feeling a bit lost, aren’t you? But don’t fret, my friend. I’ll break it down for that wonderfully intricate yet seemingly befuddled brain of yours,” Andrea declared with a playful wink directed at Tyler, his demeanor oddly whimsical.In that moment, the room seemed to hold its breath, waiting for Andrea’s elucidation. He began to weave his words with a touch of theatrical flair, his gestures encompassing the narrative he was about to unravel. With each sentence, his explanation began to unfold like a well-scripted performance, and Tyler found himself both captivated and skeptical.As Andrea’s tale wove through twists and turns, Tyler’s expression flickered between mild amusement and tentative contemplation.

His gaze grew more resolute as he studied her, his eyes fixed intently upon her.“I’m here to lend an ear,” Tyler offered sincerely, his eagerness to hear Jane’s thoughts palpable. “By the way, it’s quite noisy here. If you’d prefer, we could continue this conversation in my car,” he suggested, providing an alternative option for a quieter and more private setting.Amidst the cacophony of the surroundings, Jane’s apprehension seemed to blend with the ambient noise, making it even more essential for them to find a more serene environment to discuss matters.

“Did you just ask me what I have ever done for you?” Lady Guila’s voice, softened by a trace of hurt, quivered as she struggled to comprehend Rosie’s and Andrea’s conversation in the dimly lit room.“Oh, indeed, that’s precisely what I questioned. What contributions have you made? I’ve poured my soul into your company and family. From the tenderest years, I’ve toiled ceaselessly for this establishment and your kin, yet what recompense have I received? Nothing. Instead, you’ve ushered in this outsider, claiming he’s your heir to inherit the family legacy. Do you fathom the profound devastation I felt when that decision was made?” Andrea’s words, laden with bitterness, reverberated off the walls of the enclosed space.Lady Guila’s widened eyes reflected her astonishment and a hint of dismay as she absorbed Andrea’s impassioned words.
