Cameron paused for a moment. He and Greta weren’t officially divorced yet, and he still felt a sense of duty towards her. So, he nodded in agreement.
At Rowland Corporation, In Mr. Mason’s office, Gavin was comfortably seated in the luxurious swivel chair reserved for the chairman. Benjamin, standing next to him, was buzzing with excitement as he shared his recent achievements.
“Dad, we’ve got a response from our overseas partners. Their CEO is already on a flight to the capital. We’re set to sign the contract with him in the next few days. Once that’s done, our business will be secure for years to come.”
Gavin beamed with pride at his son’s success, but he also knew Benjamin’s tendency to act recklessly. He couldn’t resist offering some advice. “This project involves a lot of money, so make sure you go over the contract terms thoroughly.”
Benjamin was brimming with confidence. “Don’t worry, Dad. You’ve had Mr. Gyle with me every step of the way. If there’s any issue with the project, he will catch it.”
Gavin nodded, reassured. “True enough. Mr. Gyle has been with me since I got married. He’s as loyal as they come. Make sure to consult with him often.”
Benjamin nodded. “I got it, Dad.”
Gavin suddenly remembered something and paused. “Benjamin, once you nail this project, I’ll officially hand over Rowland Corporation to you.”
Benjamin was a bit taken aback. “Dad, you’re in great health. There’s no rush.”
Gavin chuckled. “With Cameron and Nathan–the biggest threats to you–out of the picture, Rowland Inc. is in a strong position. It’s better for you to take over sooner, so I can retire early and enjoy traveling with your mom.”
Benjamin smiled, feeling content. “I’ll follow your lead, Dad.”
Winter had settled in some time ago, and the first big storm of the season had just arrived.
Nathan parked his car outside the cemetery, grabbed an umbrella, and walked to his mother’s gravesite.
His mother had passed away young. The rain had washed her photograph on the tombstone clean, emphasizing her ethereal beauty and making her look even more stunning.
Nathan gazed at his mother’s face. There was a resemblance between them, though Nathan’s features were sharper. Both shared similar traits, yet each exuded their own unique charm.
After staring at her face for too long, Nathan’s vision blurred. Her once radiant face morphed into something grotesque in his mind. Then, the harsh sound of a collision echoed in his memory.
It was the sound of his mother’s vibrant body hitting the cold, hard floor.
The scene of his mother’s death, which had haunted Nathan for seventeen years, replayed in his mind.
That day, she had put on her most beautiful dress, kissed the three–year–old him goodbye, and left him at her best friend’s house.
She never imagined he would sneak back into her car, hiding in the trunk, and return home with her. He then witnessed his mother jump from the rooftop.
That event had made him stop speaking. He became silent.
Because of this, his father didn’t favor him, and his stepmother liked him even less.
It wasn’t until his stepmother abandoned him on the streets, and he was taken by human traffickers, that he was finally rescued by Nellie at the age of six.
Her kindness, lively spirit, and warmth brought him back from silence.
