“And who's to say you're not still hung up on that girl, your own daughter, no less!
By the way, did you sort out the meeting with Mr. Lynch for tomorrow? Can
Qemal and Cheryl attend?” Sherah inquired.
Yafe sighed, his head drooping with resignation. “Dad's made up his mind.
Tomorrow, my brother, Sawyer, and I will head out. Cheryl's tagging along with
Mr. Abbott, while Qemal will just stay home and rest.”
“What? Qemal isn't going? No way! He's our only son. He can’t miss out on
something this big!” Sherah shot up in alarm. She sprang to her feet, jabbing a
finger at Yafe. “You've got to care more about your son, Yafe! Qemal’s your boy,
and your father's always so distant to him. You need to stand up for him!”
Yafe felt trapped but kept nodding. “I get it, but it's a big deal, and his call is final.

other chances.”
Sherah backed off, knowing that she had made her point. Yafe was usually a
pushover for her, but only to a point. Deep down, she knew there were lines she
could not cross with him.

today and maybe even talk shop about a partnership!”
Celena’s eyes went wide with astonishment. “Mr. Lynch? Are we actually going to
see him?”
“Yeah, so hop out of bed and get ready. We're heading out soon!”
Liam did not waste time explaining. He yanked Celena out of bed and

Drunham City, the newly minted Max Group, set up to sort out the Walker family's
estate.
As they approached the Max Group building, it was clear they were not the only
visitors. The entrance was jam-packed with luxury cars, and the lobby buzzed
with representatives from the city’s elite
families, all clutching fancy gift boxes.
The sight nearly bowled Celena over. There they were, hands empty, amidst a
sea of lavish presents. “Liam, look at this crowd! Are we

him?” she asked, gripping Liam's arm
with worry. Spotting a golden
brocade box in someone's grip, she
fretted, “They've all brought
something. Won't we look bad

It was only then that Celena realized
the Walker family’s assets were in the
hands of Mr. Lynch. Meeting the
mayor was a difficult thing for the
city's most influential, let alone for
her and Liam, who came bearing

Catching on to her anxiety, Liam squeezed her hand reassuringly and said,
“Don't sweat it. I've got a buddy at Max Group. We just need to walk in.
Everything's been arranged.
“Alright, let's just go in and give it a shot, success or not!”

Celena inhaled deeply, pushing down
the rising tide of worry and fear
within her. A resolute spark ignited in
her gaze. She had to get back to the
Stone family, for Liam and Jovie's
sake. It was time to brave the
unknown and step inside! The
