But Cyrus didn’t even hesitate. He turned them away right away. Graham didn’t treat them kindly either..

Once Cyrus heard how Kenneth had treated Simone at the party, he lost all

Il respect for th

that elder

Moreover, the Irwin family had zero plans to deal with the Websters anymore.

Freya and Jacoby hadn’t expected Cyrus and Graham to be so firm about it. When the elders wouldn’t budge, they decided to go straight to Simone

That night, when they heard she was reading at the library, they rushed over.

They waited outside until about 7 p.m. before they finally saw her.

Jacoby was the first to call out. “Ms. Irwin!”

looked at them calmly and gave a small nod.

Simone heard the voice and already had a pretty good guess who it was. She lo

She didn’t like their family leader, so naturally, she wasn’t fond of them either.

Jacoby gave her a gentle smile. “Ms. Irwin, do you have a minute to sit and chat?”

“It’s about the Life–Preserving Pill, right?” Simone gave them a small smile, cutting straight to the chase.

Jacoby was a little thrown off by how direct she was, but then he chuckled. “Ms. Irwin, you are really sharp.”

“Thanks for the compliment, Simone replied with a polite smile.

But in the next second, her smile dropped. She shut them down clearly, “Sorry, but the Life–Preserving Pill’s already been sold. There’s nothing more I can do”

With that, slae glanced at her smartwatch and gave them a polite smile. “It’s getting late. I should head back. Feel free to stay if you want

“No-” Freya’s face changed instantly.

Tears filled her eyes as she thought about her grandfather, who hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for days. “Ms. Irwin, please wait.”

Freya looked at Simone, crying. “We know the pill was already sold. But we libpe you could tell us where it came from. We’d like to try getting s ourselves. And if it works out, we’ll definitely pay you well.”

“Ms. Webster, seriously? Asking for the supply right off the bat? You really don’t get how things work, do you?” Simone almost laughed out of pure frastration. She thought that this clueless little rich girl lud probably never closed a real deal in her life.

The moment they heard slut, both Jacoby and Freya’s faces dropped.

Freya, whod always been spoiled, felt totally humiliated

Jacoby, on the other hand, was embarrassed for his sister. He frowned and told Freya, “Enough. Be quiet”

Any heir with proj

h proper training would know if someone gave a clear no, that was the end of it. No point in saying anything more. But this dumb sister of his still had the nerve to ask for the supply channel. It was like asking for the moon–completely ridiculous. Thinking about tarir grandpa’s condation, Freya dug her nails into her palin. Despite jacoby’s cold stare, she forced herself to speak.

“Ms. Irwin, I know my grandfather was out of line that day. I’m not asking you to forgive him. Hut could you please help him? Our families go way back” She looked at Simone, eyes full of desperation.

Bat Simone didn’t budge. She said calmly, “No. I hold grudges Theti, without giving them a chance to say more, she turned and walked off

After she left, the siblings gui into a luge fight.

Freya sat at the street comer, looking completely defeated. She shouted at Jacoby. “Jacoby, aren’t you the smooth talker? Why didn’t you say something? You’re the one with pride and dignity, huh! Can’t you think about Grandpa for once?”

“Freya, do you even realize how dumb you just looked? Did Artline High School fry your brain! Couldn’t you tell she had zero interest in helping!” Jacoby shouted back.

Freya wiped her tears and glared at him. “Don’t act like I don’t know what’s going on in your head. You never planned to ask her for the medicine. did you?”

Jacoby froze. His eyes turned razor–sharp. “What the hell are you talking about?”

Freya suddenly laughed. “Of course, 1 knew it. You’re after Grandpa’s shares. No way you’d genuinely want to help him.

“You just can’t wait, right? Even if Grandpa’s still alive, he’s old. How many peaceful years does he have!”

Jacoby’s expression twisted. He slapped Freya hard across the face. “Shut your mouth. Say

y one more word, and I swear you’ll regret it”

The next day. Simone got a surprise call from Nolan To avoid making her uncomfortable, he explained the situation ahead of time.

Kenneth’s son wanted to meet her, and he was asking through Nolan. Simone thought about it for a second, then agreed.

When she arrived at the Irwin Mansion, the first thing she saw was a warm, refined looking man sitting on the couch.

For some reason, she didn’t like him.

Nolan introduced them. “Simone, this is my friend, Cordell”

To make her feel more at ease, Nolan leaned in and whispered. “He’s Kenneth’s son. He’s here about Kenneth. Don’t worry about me. your gu

Just go with

Ever since learning what the Websters had done to Simone, Nolan had lost all respect for them. But Cordell was his childhood friend, the only real friend he ever had. If Cordell hadn’t begged him, Nolan wouldn’t have touched this at all.

His loyalty was to his niece.

Simone figured Nolan was stuck in a tough spot and nodded politely.

She greeted Cordell in the living room. “Hello, Mr. Webster

Cordell smiled warmly. I’m friends with your uncle. You can just call me Uncle”

Simone knew better than anyone. Things that looked harmless were often the most dangerous. And Cordell didn’t seem simple. Even with a smile on his face, le gave her chills.

Til stick with Mr. Webster, Simone said, her tone polite but distant

“Whatever works for you,” Cordell replied, still calm.

He smiled and said, Tm here today for my father. I heard Ms. Irwin has access to the Life–Preserving Fill. Could you help me buy one! Money’s not an issue. If it works out, I’ll give you five percent of Webster Group’s shares.”

Simone looked at the gentle man in front of her and suddenly thought of his son. It was almost funny. The father wanted to save his dad. The grandson wanted his grandfather dead.
