    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 thepany and let him gain more experience.


    The Howard family’s mansion.


    After three years, Byran was home,


    Home was still asfortable as ever. He loungedzily on the couch, using his forearms as a pillow.


    He nced at his father, who had just hung up the phone. “Let me guess, big brother’s noting


    back, is he?”


    McNeil Howard set his cellphone aside. “Your brother has some business to attend to today. He’lle


    to see you tomorrow.”


    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 two, but he knew it was all for his own good.


    His rtionship 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.


    He had truly grown into a mature man, and his family no longer kept a watchful eye on him as before.


    At a business party in Greenhaven.


    The ce was crowded with socialites.


    At the VIP seats, Ida swirled her wine ss absentmindedly while turning to the man next to her,


    Chase. “What’s 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 put up defenses. All I know so far is that her husband is disabled. He’s always in a


    wheelchair, but I couldn’t find a single picture


    Wheelchair? Disabled? Ida squinted as she remembered Mr. nchet, who, before his disappearance,


    wasst seen at the airport in a wheelchair..


    Could it be that Sophia’s husband was…


    Lost in thought, Chase suddenly nudged her, almost causing her to spill her wine.


    Startled, Ida red at Chase. “What is it?”


    Chase’s gaze was fixed on a certain someone, and he pointed his chin towards him. “Look, who’s


    there? Ida, your old me 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 sses 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 anky youth anymore. He had filled out and had a muscr build


    that women would swoon over.


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


    He looked up, and their eyes met briefly. Byran raised his ss to her in a distant greeting, then


    continued his conversation, handling it all with ease.


    Chase clicked his tongue admiringly. “Look at that. The little pup’s grown into a big bad wolf,”
