    “One.


    ”


    Atst, Jordan finally heard the answer he had been waiting for.


    “I agree to be engaged to Carole.


    ”


    “On one condition.


    ” Domenic’s eyes were cold and they fixed on Jordan with dead-set determination.


    “Name it.


    ” Jordan narrowed his eyes.


    “I want fifty percent of the shares of the Walsh Group,” Domenic answered, letting each word out slowly.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Jordan thought for a moment.


    “Okay.


    But you have to be engaged to Carole first.


    ”


    “Alright.


    ” There was a deep and indecipherable glint in Domenic’s eyes.


    Jordan’s demeanor visibly changed upon hearing Domenic’s consent, his face clearing up into something warmer as he beamed with pleasure.


    “I don’t want to force you into anything, Domenic, but there are things that you have yet to understand.


    Everything I do is for your own good.


    You’ll thank me one day for picking a virtuous wife for you.


    ”


    “Mmmm,” Domenic replied nomittally, his face unreadable.


    “How about next month? I’ll pick a date for you two,” Jordan said with a smile.


    Upon hearing this, Carol’s lips tightened into a stiff line.


    Frowning, she nced at Domenic, Looking at him with an innocent expression as she gave him a slight nod.


    Domenic stood up.


    “I hope you keep your word after the engagement.


    ”


    Jordan looked up at him.


    “Don’t worry.


    I will hand over the Walsh Group to you sooner orter.


    God knows you’re the best option by far,pared with the rest of your uncles.


    They can’t be trusted to take over thepany.


    You, on the other hand, have been trained for the position your whole life.


    As long as you do exactly as I say, thepany is as good as yours.


    But before that, I want to see you settle down first.


    Then, I’ll trust you with the business.

    A moment’s silence passed, and Domenic nodded.


    The small gesture of eptance effectively eased Jordan’s concerns, putting him in high spirits.


    He nced at the clock on the wall and called out to the cook in the kitchen, asking her to prepare Domenic’s favorite dishes.


    Turning back to Domenic, he said, “You came back early today.


    Let’s spend some quality time and have dinner as a family together.


    ”


    Hearing the word “family” delighted Carole, but she concealed her emotions.


    In her eyes, only a hint of expectation showed through.


    “I still have something to deal with in thepany,” Domenic answered calmly.


    “Maybe another time.


    ”


    “You’re busy all the time! When exactly would you be free?” Despite feeling a bit disappointed, Jordan did not insist on Domenic staying.


    He never interfered when it came to work.


    On the contrary, Jordan saw it as a good thing if Domenic spent more time on it.


    Domenic raised his eyes and nced at Carole, a gesture that Jordan caught sight of.


    Raising his eyebrow, he cleared his throat and said, “Walk him out, Carole.
