It was Monday, the day Mark started work at Carrington Group.Early in the morning, Agatha pulled him aside and said in concern, "I'm still worried. Why don't you let me come with you—""No need." Mark smiled and declined. "No one in Carrington Group has their elderly dropping them off at work.""You can't think of it that way." Agatha furrowed her brows."I've been in touch with all those people recently. I can see that they're quite prejudiced against you. They aren't willing to support you at all. I'm just afraid that you'll be bullied at the company."I mean, Carrington Group belongs to this family. It's pointless, even if they don't support you. I'm just—""Great-Grandma, I know you're worried, but this isn't the right time." Mark placed his hand on Agatha's shoulder and gently consoled her. "I'm not a coward. I won't be easily bullied.""But…" Agatha hesitated for a while before sighing. "Alright then. I'll trust you, but you can't make me wait too long.""Alright." Mark

The meeting was held at Carrington Group the next morning. At that moment, the meeting room was bustling with discussion.The second Mark stepped through the door, the discussion stopped. He calmly walked to his seat as everyone watched.Even though he could clearly sense all of them looking at his limp, he still took every step calmly, as if it did not bother him.When he took his seat, Otto and the other senior members walked into the meeting room.Everyone immediately looked at them with respect.Otto stood by the main seat. He glanced at Mark before saying, "Before the meeting starts, I would like to welcome the new vice president, Mark Miller. Let's give him a round of applause."Otto started applauding, yet Mark didn't even stand up to show him any respect at all.The applause started to sound hesitant. Everyone looked at him suspiciously.How arrogant was the new vice president? He was deliberately disrespecting Otto right in front of everyone.Otto furrowed his brows a

A video footage was playing on Yvonne's phone. It showed a middle-aged man hugging a little child, who was smiling brightly.The child looked at the camera and asked, "Grandpa, I'm home! When are you coming back?"Tears welled up in Bartholomew's eyes. His grandson, Georgie Montgomery, had returned home safely!Everyone found it odd to see Bartholomew trembling. It was just a video of Georgie. Why was he so moved?Bartholomew realized he had lost his composure. He wiped his tears away and looked at Yvonne gratefully. "H-How did you know?"Yvonne smiled. "Your grandson was being a little naughty. I got someone to take him home."Bartholomew understood right away. He smiled through his tears. "T-Thank you, Ms. Miller!"Then, he slowly sat back in his seat. He no longer stopped anyone from supporting Otto. All he could think of was quickly heading home to hug Georgie.Only Mark knew what that video meant.His gaze darkened. He cursed inwardly. Cory had screwed things up again!

At Carrington Mansion, Agatha was infuriated when she heard about what had happened during the meeting that morning. She slammed the table hard.Andrew jumped in fright. He said timidly, "Grandma, calm down.""How could I calm down? She interfered with Carrington Group! If this goes on, she'll be the one calling the shots from now on!"Agatha was anxious. She suddenly started coughing.Heidi quickly helped by patting her on the back. "Grandma, don't get so worked up. The doctor just saw you yesterday. He reminded you to control your temper—""I don't need you to remind me!" Agatha had nowhere to release her anger, so she let it out on them."I don't believe those people can stop me from helping Mark become the heir! I dare them to piss me off to death! See how they answer my husband then!""Grandma…" Heidi looked concerned. "If you really wreck your health, you'll just be falling into Edith and Otto's trap, right? In the end, they were the ones who brought Yvonne here. "Think

The next day, Agatha went to Carrington Group on her own. She headed straight for Otto's office, ignoring Zac, who was trying to stop her. She opened the door.Otto was talking to a client when their conversation was interrupted.Seeing how angry Agatha looked, Otto apologized to the client and told Zac to take him to a lounge room to wait for a while.Once they left, Agatha knocked on the floor with her walking cane. "You ganged up with outsiders yesterday to go up against your own cousin. Do you know what a terrible thing you've done?""Great-Grandma, you can't put it that way." Otto said calmly, "Ms. Miller and Mr. Anderson came over to talk business. They coincidentally came during the meeting and spoke a few words on my behalf. How could this be going up against—"Agatha laughed furiously. She raised her walking cane and hit Otto. "I'll have to teach you a lesson today. You need to learn the rules of the family!"She was old. The moment the cane came down, Otto grabbed it.
