Even Carter had no clue on what was happening. When he forced himself to go and beg the Yaegers for help, hoping that they would render aid to the Stewards, he did not even manage to see anyone that was in charge. It was a harsh blow to his pride."I'm not sure. But let's go and greet them for now. We cannot afford to offend anyone from the Yaegers," Carter said as he began to approach Castor without any hesitation. While the latter was simply a youngster in terms of seniority, behind him stood a force so powerful that no one in Rollinsford could even touch."Asher, see those two that just stepped out of the car? They are Castor and Dove Yaeger. Castor has been focusing his efforts in the Capital City, but his social status in Rollinsford remains unrivaled." Noelle said as she walked toward Asher and stood by his side as she played around with the hair on her forehead.She then continued, "If they are willing to stand up to the plate and say a few words for the Stewar

"Dad."Both Mason and Teena stood up nervously.Carter simply waved his hand and said with a frown, "Where is Elle?""In her room." Mason pointed at Noelle's room. "I'll ask her to come out."Carter gave it some thought and then said, "Let me do it."He understood his circumstances clearly. For the past two years, the household had not been treating Noelle well. She must be similarly holding resentment within her. However, he had no choice but to humble himself before Noelle.To be meek was nothing. The household's continued development was his only consideration."Elle. It's your grandpa. Come out. I have a few words that I want to say to you," Carter said as he knocked on her door.Before Carter even knocked on the door, Noelle had already heard his voice and knew the reason why he was there."Grandpa, I think you should look for others to petition to Asher. He'll not listen to a word I say now." Noelle told him directly.Carter's

Carter would have already berated Noelle if it was in the past. However, now that he knew Asher's true identity, he had no choice but to calm Noelle down first as he had too much to lose if he were to make the wrong choice.Carter was rolling on his bed at night, unable to sleep. He was obsessed with the Stewards' predicament. If the Stewards wanted to take a step further and ascend to become a second-rate household, then Asher was their best chance as a benefactor. That was why the Stewards could not lose Asher as their in-law.Carter gave Livia a call the next afternoon. He was testing her, saying that they had prepared lunch at home and asking her to bring Asher back home for lunch.Naturally, Livia knew the real reason why Carter was asking them to return. The person that he wanted to invite home for lunch was Asher."Grandpa, just let me be clear. I can go home for lunch, but I can't guarantee that Asher will follow me home as well," Livia said after giving

Mason nodded and said, "Believe us. We don't make such mistakes. As for Livia liking Asher, that's not something that will stand between you and Asher getting back together. A good man is always in the crosshair of plenty of ladies. If you really cannot give Asher up, or perhaps it's better to say that if you want to be with him, then your heart must be strong enough. You must be strong in your belief that other than you, Asher will not fall in love with anyone else. Elle, I hope that you'll understand what I'm trying to tell you."Mason gave him a smile and then left for his study.The Leonards."Grandpa, I've gathered enough information. There's no ‘Master Sander' in the Capital City!" Radley rushed into Hallberg's room. He then tried his best to quickly control his emotions when he saw the irritation in Hallberg's eyes.Hallberg put down the glass of tea in his hand and asked, "How accurate is the information you've gathered?""One hundred percent a
