Jeremy had just settled into a cozy dinner with Caius at their favorite local bistro when his phone buzzed with a call from Idris, lighting up his face with anticipation. Idris had news: they were set to review a contract tomorrow with theirwyer in tow.


    Jeremy couldn''t hide his excitement. "Absolutely, thanks a ton, Idris. You''re a lifesaver."


    As soon as the call ended, Jeremy was all smiles when looking at Caius, who was equally intrigued. "What''s the scoop?"


    Jeremy leaned back, swirling his ss of red wine. "We''ve got a meeting with Mr. Quinn about the contract tomorrow."


    Caius nearly choked on his drink. "Seriously? That''s big news!"


    Indeed, Mr. Quinn had been the talk of Portis City, scouting for a local coboration. Everyone wanted a slice of the pie he was offering.


    Jeremy nodded. "Looks like we''re almost there."


    Caius, now thoroughly impressed, couldn''t help but add, "Just make sure to keep an eye on Sirena. We don''t want to upset Mr. Quinn''s sister again."


    Jeremy''s excitement waned at the mention of Sirena, a thorn in his side he nned to deal with once this deal was through.


    "Didn''t the Quarry family also want to coborate with Mr. Quinn? Now that Mr. Quinn has chosen you, the Quarry family ispletely out of the picture, right?" Jeremy replied, "They''ve always had no chance."


    With the rtionship between Yorick and Ste, if Ronald chose his family, it would have been a miracle.


    "Wait and see, the Quarry family''s drama is far from over. Right now, he''s still buying Wave Residence desperately for Urs."


    Caius asked, "Is that a problem?"


    Jeremy replied, "Ronald and Ste are living there now. Do you think there''s no problem?"


    "Are you saying that''s Ronald''s turf? Didn''t Orion go over there before? Howe he doesn''t know about this?"


    Jeremy smiled. "If he knew, do you think he''d still be messing with this mess?"


    Caius fell silent.


    Yeah, if he knew, he''d definitely not be involved in this mess.


    "For the sake of a woman who''s about to die, he kicked Ste aside, and now he''s eyeing her brother''s turf. Yorick is really asking for trouble." Caius looked at Jeremy in shock, thinking that if Yorick was truly this clueless, he was doomed.


    Jeremy set down his ss of red wine.


    "Unless something unexpected happens, right now, Ste and Ronald are probably treating Yorick and the Larkin family like clowns."


    Now, Yorick and the Larkin family were all worked up over Urs,pletely losing their minds.


    Caiusughed. "They''re definitely being treated like clowns. Just look at what Yorick''s doing right now, totally clueless. Who knows, the Quarry family might even implode next!"


    If Ste and Ronald are going to mess with Yorick, they surely won''t stop at just making him a fool! What if Thane found out that he was getting yed because of Yorick and ends up killing him?


    Jeremy was feeling pleased. He made a call to his family, instructing them to keep Sirena under tight surveince these next few days and make sure she doesn''t cause any more trouble.


    ...


    Meanwhile, Ste, gazing at the calm surface of theke and then ncing at Ronald beside her casually swinging his fishing rod, voiced herint, "Ronald." "Mm."


    "Is this fun?"


    She had given up lunch with Susanna, only to be brought here for fishing?


    Ronald nced at her. "Isn''t it fun?"


    Ste was at a loss for words.


    Fun?


    She knew Ronald was an expert in fishing, and he really enjoyed it.


    Back in Ferrond, he would often make ns with his friends to go out on the sea for fishing.


    Ste wasn''t keen on joining-seasickness was one thing, but more importantly, it was boring. And she didn''t like the smell of raw fish either.
