"You didn't watch the video in the group?" Gino reminded.
"Do you think I have nothing better to do like you?" Gideon replied irritably.
"Hmph, all you think about is money! I'm just being nice and reminding you to watch it. It's your loss if you don't! Don't say I didn't tell you!" Gino said before hanging up.
Gideon was puzzled but didn't care. He continued reviewing documents and called his secretary to prepare for a meeting.
A while later, the secretary knocked and entered. "Mr. Everett, the meeting is ready."
"Let's go." Gideon grabbed his files and phone. On the way to the meeting, he opened the video Gino had posted in the family's group chat.
Gideon froze. He immediately handed the documents to his secretary. "Cancel the meeting."
Then, he hurried back to his office to grab his car keys before rushing out.
The secretary was confused. What just happened? This was the first time she had ever seen Gideon so flustered.

After showing Hera around, Lilith started preparing lunch, and Hera joined her in the kitchen to help.
Gino went upstairs to take a call.
Meanwhile, Dylan and Dora were playing in the living room. Mildred came over with two lollipops in hand.
"Dylan, Dora, come have some candy," Mildred offered.
Dylan glanced at her with a stern expression but didn't take them. Dora eyed the colorful lollipops eagerly and was about to accept when Dylan tugged her back. Reluctantly, she didn't take them either.
"Why don't you want them? These lollipops are delicious." Mildred waved the candy.
