    Neil headed to the third floor and discovered Caroline lying face–down on a table as he approached


    the empty room. He removed his jacket, approached her, and covered her with it.


    Startled, Caroline only found relief when she sat up and saw Neil. She averted her gaze to hide her

    Grayson looked puzzled. ‘Tell me more.”


    With a hint of pride, Danie said, “Instead of suppressing them, you can offer them some


    benefits. After all, it’s been a while since Uncle Tom left thepany. What do you think,


    Grandpa?”


    Grayson remained silent for a moment. “I see your point, E. Go upstairs and bring them down.”


    Danie summoned Thomas and his family downstairs as instructed


    In the living room.


    Thomas avoided Danie’s gaze, and his wife, Greta Shawn, didn’t appear friendly.
