Thomas Easton was seething with rage after having his call abruptly disconnected, hurling his phone to the ground where it shattered into pieces."That trash, how dare he hang up on me? What gives him the right!" Thomas fumed with anger.Christopher Easton felt a sinking feeling in his heart.If Daphne Easton didn't step in, they were all doomed. "Thomas, what happened? Is Daphne unwilling to intervene?" he asked.A cold smirk appeared on Thomas's face. "It was Isaiah Lowell who answered the call. He said Daphne was sick.""Sick?" Christopher spat disdainfully. "I bet she's just faking it, finding excuses not to deal."Although angry, Michael's intellect was still sharp.They needed Daphne's involvement, as their cooperation mattered less than being ousted from the Easton family."Thomas, let's go. I'll come with you," said Michael.Thomas, filled with a cold fury after being hung up by Isaiah, was eager to confront him.Arriving at Daphne's apartment complex, Christopher couldn't hid

"Where is Miss Easton?" Matthew Martin asked seemingly casually.Thomas Easton thought Matthew was just asking out of politeness and replied with a made-up excuse, "She's sick. From now on, I will be responsible for the subsequent cooperation with your company."Matthew nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait until Miss Easton recovers before discussing further."After saying this, Matthew turned and left.Thomas was stunned for a moment and quickly caught up to him, saying, "Mr. Martin, I assure you that I am equally capable, if not more capable than Daphne Easton. Our cooperation with your company..."Before Thomas could finish, Matthew stopped beside his car. "There are many who want to cooperate with Blue Horizon Real Estate. Since the Easton family seems insincere, I will reconsider this matter."Watching Matthew's car drive away, Thomas stood there, dumbfounded. He had thought Matthew wouldn't care much, but his stance was unexpectedly firm.Reconsider the cooperation!This s

"Grandma, are you really going to let Daphne Easton be in charge of this matter?" Thomas Easton spoke to the matriarch in their villa's living room.The matriarch, as if it was the most natural thing, said, "Since Daphne secured this contract, naturally she should be responsible for it. Is there a problem?""Mom, you need to think this through. Daphne is, after all, a woman. If she establishes authority in the company, it won't be good for Thomas," Christopher Easton, father of Thomas interjected.The matriarch looked at them disapprovingly. "Speak plainly. Don't beat around the bush with me.""Grandma, Isaiah Lowell may have married into our family, but at the end of the day, he's an outsider. And for three whole years, that useless man has achieved nothing. If Daphne gains control, aren't you afraid our family's assets will end up in the hands of an outsider?" Thomas argued."Daphne has no real affection for that waste, Isaiah. If not for our family's reputation, I would've had them

Finally, the matriarch of the Easton family took a serious look at Daphne Easton and had her assistant bring her reading glasses.The Easton relatives craned their necks, eager to see the contents of the contract.They couldn't believe Daphne could have actually secured the deal. Almost everyone present had tried and failed, not even meeting the boss of Blue Horizon Real Estate.What made Daphne so special?Daphne, always looked down upon in the family, had never truly been treated as a relative. If she had actually managed this deal, what would happen if she caught the matriarch's eye?Thomas Easton was the least willing to believe it. Daphne's success meant that he would have to serve her, an unimaginable disgrace."Daphne Easton, you just whipped up a fake contract, who would believe that? You probably haven't even met the boss of Blue Horizon," Thomas jeered."True, I didn't meet Blue Horizon's boss," Daphne admitted.The West City project was fully managed by Matthew Martin, who

The next day, Thomas Easton sat in his office, laughing uncontrollably over a phone call, to the point of tears.The other Easton relatives in the room were puzzled by his reaction."Thomas, what's so funny?" one asked."Don't just laugh; share with us too!" another chimed in."Did Daphne Easton run away at the last minute?" someone speculated.Holding his stomach, Thomas replied, "Damn, I can't stop laughing. Daphne is such an idiot.""What happened? Tell us!" the relatives urged, anxious like ants on a hot pan."That crazy woman had Isaiah Lowell, the useless guy, take her to Blue Horizon Real Estate on his electric scooter. She must be out of her mind," Thomas explained.The office erupted into laughter at the news, finding the idea of Daphne arriving at a business meeting on an electric scooter preposterous."Can you imagine Blue Horizon taking her seriously after that?""She must have given up. If we couldn’t secure the deal, how could she?""Thomas, you played this well. Daphne

"Boss, a pack of cigarettes, please.""You're always so punctual."The owner of the small store across the street from the Easton family company looked at Isaiah Lowell with a mix of admiration and curiosity.For three years, like clockwork, Isaiah had been showing up precisely on time.Initially, the store owner found it odd, but he soon realized that Isaiah's visits coincided with Daphne Easton's departure from the office.The shopkeeper had his guesses about Isaiah's identity but never voiced them, understanding that every family had its troubles.In Cresthaven City, Isaiah was considered a nobody, an unwanted son-in-law of the Easton family, and probably preferred to keep his presence low-key."I've got nothing better to do," Isaiah replied with a smile.The middle-aged shopkeeper admired Isaiah's dedication. For three years, he had been faithfully waiting for Daphne every day, silently watching over her."When are you planning to pick her up from work? It's not really a solution
