Her dress, a radiant white adorned with shimmering silver diamonds from the waist down, caught the Light beautifully.


    A businessman’s wife recognized the gown, inhaling sharply before whispering to herpanion, “That’s a Taylia bridal piece, renowned for its simplicity and exclusivity, easily worth over a million…”


    Jordan, standing proudly by Carole, was impably dressed in a ssic suit, his demeanor rxed and friendly.


    It was stark contrast to his usual presence, showing his approval of his future daughter-inw.


    The arrival of Jordan and Carole quieted the room, prompting a flock of businessmen to warmly wee Jordan, masking their true feelings with forced smiles.


    Jordan, in turn, introduced Carole to them.


    “Carole, this is Mr.


    Emmitt Palmer broad member of the Glory Group.


    ”


    “Hello, Mr.


    Palmer.


    I’m Carole,” she greeted him confidently, offering a firm handshake.


    The rest of the group surreptitiously nced at Carole, recalling her participation in Star Search.


    Standing before them, Carole appeared even more appealing with her petite face and subtle makeup.


    She greeted guests with grace and confidence.


    Carole’s gentle demeanor and inviting smile left asting impression on the attendees.


    “Mr.


    Walsh, your grandson is fortunate to have such a wonderful partner!”


    “Carole, you’re stunning.


    You could be a celebrity!”


    “Mr.


    Walsh, you’re blessed.


    It’s the perfect time for you to retire and enjoy your golden years.


    ”


    Jordan couldn’t help but smile, fully aware of the superficial nature of theirpliments.


    At that moment, Rachel approached Jordan, linking arms with Brady.

    “Dad.


    ”


    Seeing his daughter, Jordan’s expression softened.


    “It’s been a while.


    How’s everything at the Lawson Group?”


    Brady nodded with respect.


    “ALL is well, thank you for asking.


    ”


    Jordan responded with a nod.


    “Brady, your management of the Lawson Group ismendable.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Now, it ranks just behind the Walsh Group.


    ”


    With humility, Brady replied, “I owe it to you.


    I may still seek your guidance.


    ”


    Jordan sighed slightly as he remarked, “It’s unfortunate that Rachel hasn’t been able to conceive all these years.


    I trust you don’t hold it against her.


    Remember, the Lawson Group can always rely on me for support.


    We’re family, after all.


    ”


    Brady understood Jordan’s underlying message, recognizing it as both a test and a veiled warning about his loyalty and seeing how he valued Rachel.


    Jordan knew full well that the Lawson Group couldn’tpete with the Walsh Group.


    He had the option to assist Brady, but he also held the power to destroy him.


    “Rachel is my beloved wife and my only partner.


    Our bond is strong, and nothing can shake it.


    Don’t worry.


    With Rachel’s consent, adopting is always an option for us.
