Chapter 747
He paced back and forth, hands clasped behind his back. "How did everything change so fast? I've got to call
Frankie and figure out why she turned her back on our alliance."
Benjamin quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Frankie's number. But all he got was an automated message:
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off."
Confused, Benjamin muttered, "Why is Frankie's phone always off these days?"
Gavin was on edge. "If the Stewart family's main branch crashes and the second branch takes over, with all the
bad blood between them, the second branch won't let the main branch off easy. If we back the main branch,
we're asking for trouble from the second branch. And retaliation could cost us dearly."
After mulling it over, Gavin decided, "We should steer clear of this mess."
But Benjamin had another take. "Dad, staying neutral might keep us safe for now, but if the second branch is
gonna win, aligning with them could mean a fresh start for the Rowland family. Which path do you think is better
for our revival?"
"Obviously, the latter."
"Then we should back Nathalie."
"But..."
"Dad, it's like they say, water flows downhill, and people aim high. We can't let the Stewart family's main branch
drag us down."
Gavin was torn.

history. Loyalty's noble, but history's written by the winners. It's the victors who call the shots."
With Benjamin's insistence, Gavin finally nodded in agreement.
Over at the Stewart Estate, the main branch was in a panic after learning the McCoy family had struck a deal
with Nathalie.
Dean raced over to the Rowland family that very night, desperate to lock in their support to stand a chance
against the second branch.
But Gavin's reception was chilly, nothing like before. He danced around any talk of agreements, making Dean
realize that it wasn't just the McCoy family who had jumped ship.
Dean left the Rowland family, dejected, and wandered aimlessly before stumbling home, drunk.
Regan, seeing his son so defeated, sternly said, "Look at yourself. It's not over yet, and you're already throwing
in the towel. No wonder you're no match for the second branch."
Dean, eyes bleary from drink, replied, "Dad, our momentum's gone. There's no way to claw it back."
"The McCoy family turned on us, and now the Rowland family is on the verge of doing the same. Our track
record's strong, but once they take over Stewart Enterprise, they'll shove us aside. We need a gplan."
