If he were still here, I wouldn't be stuck cleaning up all these messes." Angelo, looking bored, replied, "My brother's been dead for years. If he knew he had so much work waiting for him, I bet he'd rather stay in his coffin." "Your brother was a prodigy, recognizing and using talent by the age of fourteen. He was the youngest financial scholar, respected and feared by everyone at the company. He was the perfect heir to the Pollard family.

Kiran was your golden child. Sandy and I combined aren't half as good as Ayan!" Caelum took a deep breath, trying to keep his cool as he watched Angelo's nonchalant demeanor. "You know your uncles are itching to take over the Pollard family. If they found out Kiran was dead and I had no successor, they'd weardown to seize control. What would happen to you and Sandy then?

"Yeah, sure." Angelo's tone was flat, his voice low. "My father is inside. Hope you two have a pleasant chat."
As Angelo was about to pass by James, James suddenly said Join us. The discussion might interest 上 you." "Sorry, I'm busy."
