That rascal had grown a lot in the past three years. After graduating, they shipped him off to the overseas branch
to get a grasp of their business. Now he was capable enough to stand on his own.
This brought a sense of pride to Balfour. Finally, Byran was no longer the mischievous youngster he once was.
Tomorrow, he would arrange a position for Byran in the company and let him gain more experience.
The Howard family’s mansion.
After three years, Byran was home,
Home was still as comfortable as ever. He lounged lazily on the couch, using his forearms as a pillow.
He glanced at his father, who had just hung up the phone. “Let me guess, big brother’s not coming back, is he?”
McNeil Howard set his cellphone aside. “Your brother has some business to attend to today. He’ll come to see you

Byran hummed dismissively. “I knew it. Big bro wouldn’t drop everything just for me.”
Although he said this, Byran wasn’t upset with his brother at all.
In the past three years, he hadn’t been home and hadn’t seen his father or his grandparents.
But his brother visited him at school every month and brought him things. Of course, there was always a lecture or

His relationship with his brother was always good. The age gap just made it seem like there was a barrier
sometimes.
After having dinner with his father and grandparents, Byran took the car keys, saying that a few friends had invited
him to catch up. And with that, he was off.

the deal with Sophia’s husband? Were you able to dig up anything?”
Chase casually crossed his legs as a frown appeared on his face. “It’s a tough nut to crack. Sophia seems to have

Chase’s gaze was fixed on a certain someone, and he pointed his chin towards him. “Look, who’s there? Ida, your
old flame is back.”
Ida thought Chase was joking. Reluctantly, she looked in the direction he pointed and froze.
It was Byran.
Byran was over there, clinking glasses and chatting with a few of the elder statesmen of the business world. His
every move exuded a mature steadiness. He was so different from the impulsive and naive youngster he used to
be.
He looked energetic and was not a lanky youth anymore. He had filled out and had a muscular build that women

As she watched him, Byran seemed to sense someone’s gaze.
