"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.

“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.
