Now that he was in Evervale, Jarron’s first encounter was with Tracy.
The Smith Cuisine Hall was situated in Evervale. While there were a few branch locations in the
country. the Smith Cuisine Hall in Evervale was the gship establishment, with Tracy effectively
overseeing its operations.
Jarron arrived to dine at the establishment.
Cynthia cast a few discreet nces in Jarron’s direction. Subsequently, upon returning to the kitchen,
she contemted for a brief moment and made the decision to ascend to the upper floor in search of
her superior, Tracy.
“Master, Jarron from the Smith family is here. I’m not sure if he’s seeking you,” Cynthia conveyed with a
touch of concern.
After Isaac’s copse, several significant developments unfolded within the Smith family. With Olivia’s
assumption of leadership, the family’s affairs began to stabilize. The Smith Cuisine Hall, in particr,
had flourished, enjoying heightened visibility and a surge in business.
Cynthia earnestly wished to avoid any further unexpected developments or disruptions.
Upon receiving the news of Jarron’s arrival, Tracy’s hand, holding the recipe, froze, and her
countenance disyed signs of displeasure.
Nheless, her experience andposure set her apart, rendering her more stable than Cynthia.
She instructed, “Bring him upstairs.”
“Master Cynthia expressed her concern.
Tracy shook her head. “We can’t evade this matter. The sooner we meet with him, the sooner we can.
discern his intentions. This will prevent us from being caught off guard.”
Cynthia nodded.
Nheless, she remained discontented, sensing that the Smith family was excessively intrusive.
Upon being ushered upstairs, the first words that Jarron uttered upon seeing Tracy were, “Tracy, it’s
been a while.”
His tone bore a gentleness akin to a spring breeze.
Jarron’s personality bore a striking resemnce to that of Gillian. They both possessed warm and
amicable manners of interacting with others, making them highly affable and readily endearing to those
they encountered.
Nheless, Tracy was not inclined to engage in casual conversation.
Tracy gestured towards the sofa across from him and directed, “Take a seat.
Her tone exuded warmth and gentleness. It wasn’t excessively enthusiastic, nor was it icy or distant.
Her demeanor was measured, neither hurried nor lethargic.
“Wasn’t your intention to study in M? Why have you returned so promptly?” Tracy inquired, her
curiosity piqued.
Jarron let out a soft sigh, and a touch of sadnessced his tone. “Tracy, you’re holding me responsible,
aren’t you?
“me you for what?” Tracy began to ask, but Jarron carried on, “I was excessively self–absorbed in
the past. I rashly deserted everything and fled abroad. I utterly neglected my identity and the
obligations. resting upon me.”
He ruminated. I am the Smith family’s eldest grandson. I am duty–bound to shoulder the
responsibilities of the Smith family. How could I have forsaken everything and fled abroad?”
“Tracy, I’m aware that you must be greatly disappointed in me. Jarron confessed.
Tracy was speechless.
She thought, ‘How should I phrase it? I am indeed not pleased with you at alll You’d be best off
returning
overseas.
While she harbored these thoughts in her heart, she refrained from vocalizing them. Tracy simply
lowered her head to prepare a cup of coffee and remained silent, offering no response to Jarron’s
words. Observing Tracy’s response. Jarron furrowed his brow. He found it peculiar that Tracy didn’t
seem to grasp what was in their best interest.
Rubbing his fingertips, he hesitated for a moment before continuing. Tracy, you’re my elder, and I must
contemte with you. Truth be told, I didn’t initiallyprehend my obligations. It wasn’t until the Grant
family dispatched an envoy to locate me a few days ago and provided me with a lesson that I
recognized my errors!”
The Grant family?”
Tracy’s grip on the coffee pot trembled. She raised her bead in astonishment and queried. “The Grant
family? How does this rte to?”
She gave him a thumbs–up in response.
Jarron nodded. “Exactly as you surmised, Tracy.”
‘It was indeed the Grant family! Tracy was taken aback. “Why did the Grant family involve themselves
in the Smith family’s affairs? What connection does the Smith family have with the Grant family?”
Tracy, you might be unaware, Jarron’s tone implied, the Smith family has forever been interconnected
with the Grant family. For years, the Smith family has been serving the Grant family. It’s just that
Grandpa’s sudden illness left him without an opportunity to elucidate this.”
Tracy remained silent.
Jarron went on. Tracy, you’re aware of the Grant family’s influence. The Smith family having the
backing of the Grant family is a fortuitous blessing for us. The Grant family now wishes for me to
assume leadership of the Smith family. If Tracy is willing to assist me, the Smith Cuisine Hall will reap
considerable benefits in the times ahead.”
“What Olivia can provide, I can match, or perhaps even surpass, Jarron asserted confidently.
‘Surpass?‘
Tracy gazed at Jarron with an expression of incredulity
She ruminated, ‘Hmph, Gillian was equally self–assured back then, and it still ended in chaos. She
fabricated some leftover recipes to deceive me and even duped the Smith Cuisine Hall out of a
substantial profit.
‘Clearly, he was outmatched inpetence, yet he obstinately put on airs. He even had the audacity to
disparage Olivia.
Tracy harbored profound doubts about the veracity of Jarron’s statements.
Olivia had supplied the Smith Cuisine Hall with a miraculous medicine that generated profits twice that
of the restaurant’s regr earnings. While Tracy should remit dividends to her, the medicinal cuisine
recipes were deemed invaluable.
Olivia had assumed control of the Smith family for only a brief duration, yet she had already furnished
the Smith Cuisine Hall with two medicinal cuisine recipes, elerating the restaurant’s growth.
Tracy remained unconvinced that Jarron held more influence than Olivia.

Even if he was genuinely influential, he wouldn’t have beenpelled to return from overseas. He was
evidently a vanquished adversary.
Despite her skepticism regarding Jarron’s ims, Tracy harbored a degree of trepidation when it came
to the Grant family.
After a brief pause, she–responded, “Jarron, this is quite sudden. Allow me some time to ponder it.
Give me a few days to deliberate.”
“Of course, Jarron responded with a warm smile, radiating unwavering confidence.
He nced around the Smith Cuisine Hall and posed a sudden question, “Tracy, how many branches
does the Smith Cuisine Hall currently have, and what’s the profit like?”
This… Tracy hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
Fortunately, Jarron didn’t press–for a response. Instead, he stated directly. Tracy, I implore you to ce
your trust in me. With your support, I’ll expand the Smith Cuisine Hall to epass 30 branches
nationwide within a year. The annual profit will reach forty million dors”
Upon hearing this, Tracy let out a gasp and gazed up at Jarron in astonishment. She remained
speechless. for an extended period.
She pondered. ‘Is this some kind of jest? The Smith Cuisine Hall’s profits have already surpassed one
hundred million dors. Is he attempting to downsize the restaurant?
This marked the first instance she had encountered someone pledging such remarkable benefits”
For a moment, Tracy was left wordless, consumed by a surge of irritation
Jarron believed that Tracy was taken aback by the audacity of his statement. He beamed with pride
and added, “Tracy, don’t be excessively astounded. With the backing of the Grant family, these goals
are undeniably achievable.”
“No…” Tracy attempted to voice her thoughts
Nevertheless, Jarron interjected and halted Tracy’s words. “Don’t say anything further. I realize it may
sound imusible, but Tracy, you must ce your trust in me. I have other matters to attend to. I’ll take
my leave now. There’s no need to see me off just wait
Tracy was speechless.
Following Jarron’s departure. Cynthia approached and inquired. “Master, what did he discuss with you?
Jarron pointed to the house and asked Gillian. “Do you know how much this vi costs? Forty million
dors! How many years will it take for the both of us to afford such a house in M
“What on earth Cynthia was left dumbfounded. “We already possess 50 branches across the country.
and our yearly earnings are nearly one hundred million dors. Is he out of his mind?”
Tracy let out a sigh. “Initially, I was somewhat indecisive and apprehensive about the Grant family
involvement. Now, it appears I’m resolute in supporting Olivia
At this juncture, she turned to Cynthia Manage the restaurant in my absence. I’ll visit the Tavlor family
“Okay.” Cynthia nodded.
At the Smith family’s vi.
Olivia sat on the living room floor, engaged in y with Andrew
Andrew had been brought to the location, and Zoe, his caregiver, apanied him. Daniel was
present as well.
Currently, he essentially resided here on a permanent basis.
Upon his initial arrival, Andrew felt somewhat bashful Is it appropriate for me to visit Olivia’s home?”
Daniel promptly rectified his perspective. “We aren’t guests. This is our home now.” Concerned that
Andrew might notprehend, he further rified, “Olivia’s home is our home.”
Ellis, who was nearby, cast his gaze downward and ruminated, ‘Mr. Sullivan is bing increasingly
audacious about mooching off Olivia. Not only does he indulge himself, but he’s even bringing his son
along to partake.
