2025-05-07 12:03:16After a brief argument, Charles returned to the dining room to eat. Una and Finn were still too young to eat solid food, so they were being cared for by the nanny and housekeeper.
The next morning, Willy arrived at the entrance of the New York Police Department with Black Wolf and Crescent Moon.
“Damn, I’m feeling a little nervous,” Black Wolf suddenly said.
“Nervous? Haha, Black Wolf, looks like you've done quite a few bad things! Come on, how many good women have you messed with?” Willy teased.
“Shut up, Willy! Don’t joke like that, Crescent Moon will kill me in my sleep!”
“Black Wolf! You’re the one making the jokes! You two are both married now, who’s going around saying ‘kill’ every time?”
“Willy! I really will kill him! Of course, only if he betrays me!” Crescent Moon said with a smile, making Willy feel uneasy.
“Mr. Morgan! You

548: Economic Recovery
“Come on in, have a seat. Is there something urgent?” Willy said as he welcomed Owen in, pouring him a cup of tea.“Son-in-law,” Owen began, “while you were away and Willy’s Company shut down, every business connected to it worldwide took a hit. The Brown Family was no exception. I came today because this incident made us and families like the Robinsons realize something: we might be considered prominent families in our local circles, but in the global economy, we’re insignificant. When Willy’s Company fell into crisis, we were powerless. We couldn’t help—and barely protected ourselves. It made us question: in the current era, do families like ours even have a place?”“Dad, are you asking because you genuinely want to shut down the Brown Fami
547:You Two Didn’t Sleep All Night?
"Have you been through a lot lately? Where have you been all this time? We were so worried about you!" Penelope clung to Willy, looking him over from head to toe. He didn’t seem injured or visibly different, though she couldn’t shake the feeling that something about him had changed—something she couldn’t quite put into words. Still, her son was home, and that was all that mattered.“I’m fine, Mom. It’s all over now. Violet and I just came by to check in on you. We’re heading to the office soon—today’s the company’s first day back to work, and we’ve got a lot to do.”“Son, listen to me,” Penelope said gently. “This whole mess—it wasn’t Violet’s fault. It was mine. I shouldn’t have suggested what I did. Don’t let this come between the two of you.”“It’s okay, Mom. It’s behind us.”“Son,” Cale
546:You Don’t Have to Cry Anymore
“I’m heating your food! You haven’t eaten at home in so long… Have you had dinner?”“Don’t you miss me?”“I do… but I’m scared…”“Scared?”“That you don’t want me anymore…”“What are you talking about? How could I not want you?” Willy frowned slightly. What the hell was wrong with this girl? Just because he’d been cold for a few days, she was having a breakdown?Violet looked at Willy’s face. He was still as handsome as ever, but thinner than before, with a sharper edge to his features. There was something unfamiliar in his expression, even his eyes looked different somehow—colder, almost as if they had changed color. She thought she was seeing things and shook her head, blinking hard before looking at him again.“Babe, what’s wrong?” Willy stepped closer and gently touch
545: Finalizing the Deal
“Big Shot, are you saying Willy used his own money to buy back the assets the Four Families had purchased before? So now all those assets belong to Willy?”“Yes. But it’s better to have them in Willy’s hands than in the Four Families’.”“Do you even know what kind of assets they are?”“No. And frankly, it doesn’t matter. Whatever they are, we have to approve it. Otherwise, we’ll be dealing with major trouble later.”“Understood, Big Shot. Do we need to buy them back from Willy at some point?”“Adrian, we’re not merchants. Even if we did buy them back, what then? Run them ourselves? Heh… forget it. Let Willy handle it. At this point, we have no choice but to trust him. Besides, do you think those families trust us? People in NVMD—they only trust Willy.”“Yes, Big Shot. Got it.” With that, Adrian authori
545:: Don’t Get So Worked Up, Old Man
“Heh, you’re overthinking it,” Caleb said, trying to soothe the mood. “Sure, this whole mess started with you and his mother, but your intentions were good. You just wanted what was best for Willy. That kid isn’t unreasonable. Didn’t you hear Big Shot’s broadcast? He said it himself—it was the deputy who got suspicious of Willy’s wealth and started tailing him. So really, you just triggered the situation early. The good news is, Willy didn’t lose any confidential files or patents. That alone is a win. Let’s give it a few days and see if the economy bounces back after Willy’s Company reopens. Property prices, land value, exchange rates—if they all stabilize, then we’ll know. Trust in Willy, and stop beating yourself up.”“Yeah, I got it, Dad,” Violet muttered.“Mom, Grandpa’s right,” Charles chimed in. “You’ve been overthinking everything.
544: Cleared
“Exactly. How’s Mom, Dad, Charles, Finn, and Una?”“Wait, you’re not going to ask about Violet?”“She already messaged me. I know her too well. She’s either crying or blaming herself. I know you probably convinced her to keep it together and hold down the house.”“Haha, Violet really is trying hard to be your woman, you know. Don’t be so hard on her. Everyone’s fine. When are you coming home?”“Not for a while. Tonight’s press conference will start everything. After that, I’ll need to relaunch operations worldwide, push favorable policies, get the economic trend reversed. And then I’ve got to fly to A Country to meet the Four Families. Ugh, it’s going to be a grind.”“That’s what happens when you’re the boss of Willy’s Company. Alright, I won’t keep you. Take care of yourself. Mom regrets everything. Violet
