Robert nodded. "I... After I graduate, I want to work at Hayden''spany..."


    Avery was stunned and so was Elliot.


    Robert''s heart raced as he slowly started to inch closer to his older brother.


    "I see!" Avery said. "Here I thought it was going to be something big! If you want to work at your brother''spany, go ahead! You haven''t graduated, though, so you might change your mind once you graduate. There is no need to decide things now."


    Elliot felt differently and was slightly upset. "Why don''t you want to work at mypany?" he asked sharply.


    Robert immediately sat down next to Hayden, hoping to get his brother''s support; to his bewilderment, Hayden stood up, refusing to have any part in this.


    "I only got him to apprentice as a mechanic so that he would give up the idea. I don''t want him working in mypany after he graduates. Of course, I can''t turn him down as an older brother if he begs to work for me either," Hayden said.


    Robert had been groomed to inherit Sterling Group. Elliot did not favor him, but neither Hayden nor La showed any interest in taking over thepany.


    Hayden knew that if Robert chose to work in hispany, the empire that Elliot had spent a lifetime building would be left without an heir. He did not have the heart to put Elliot in such a situation.


    Thus, he had made the decision to apprentice Robert to a mechanic, thinking that Robert would give up his desire to work there, but he soon realized that Robert had dedicated himself to the job and had notined once.


    Hayden was impressed by his younger brother, whom he thought was extremely spoiled and fragile. Despite his appearance, Robert was persistent.

    Hayden nodded and left after setting his coffee and magazine down.


    Instantly, Avery, Elliot, and Robert were the only three left in the living room.


    Robert trembled, feeling like a sinner for betraying his beloved father.


    Guilt overwhelmed him, and hone

    Just then, the screen on Avery''s phone lit up and she picked it up as she stood from the couch.


    "You two go ahead! I need to rest." Avery wanted the two to resolve their differences amongst themselves.


    She knew that Elliot was upset that none of his children wanted to remain by his side, but he needed to learn that he could not force them into bowing down to his wishes. en.swhovels

    Once she was back in her room, she unlocked her phone and saw that Wesley had sent her a photo of a young woman.


    She instinctively thought that it was Kiara, but she was proven wrong when she saw the message.


    "That''s not Kiara. Who is this?" she thought. "Why did Wesley send me this? Was... his phone hacked?"
