In the hall, Josh and rissa were having a lively conversation with Jonah.


    Josh had not only taken over several substantial holdingpanies under Schmidt Group but was also


    expected to take over thepany one day. Jonah, on the other hand, being Winston’s eldest and all,


    would likely take over KS Group one day as well.


    Hence, Josh didn’t mind spending some time building a connection with Jonah, even though he held no


    respect for the polyamorous rtionship Winston Taylor had.


    “I heard KS Group intends to develop in Sna City, Mr. Jonah. You’ve made quite some progress


    lately.”


    Josh had on his winning smile.


    “I’m sure we’ll be seeing one another in the business world soon. We’re on the same level, and our


    parents


    are good friends. I do hope that friendship extends to our generation and beyond.”


    Jonah smiled lightly and made a toast to him.


    “If you


    u ever have any big projects in Sna City, Mr. Jonah, you know where to find us. I’m sure if we


    worked together, we would be an unstoppable force, not just in Sna City but even in the country


    itself,”


    Josh said before taking a sip of his drink. His strong ambition was in to see.


    “You’re mostly correct. Nheless, I’m afraid that I won’t be in my position for long. I’ll soon be taking


    a


    step back Jonah’s expression was calm as he drank his wine.


    This made Josh and rissa share a look of confusion. “What do you mean?”


    “As you all know, it wasn’t my intention to take over this position in the first ce. I’m only doing this for


    my father’s sake and to give my siblings a chance to fulfill their dreams and goals instead of being


    burdened by other responsibilities,” Jonah exined


    He couldn’t help but smile fondly upon recalling Alyssa. “Now that Alyssa is back and enthusiastic


    about managing our family business, I’ll be handing over the mantle to her once the time is right.”


    Josh’s expression was an incredulous one. “Do you mean… that Mr. Taylor means to make Ms. Alyssa


    the CEO of KS Group?”


    “Yes.” Jonah nodded. It wasn’t some secret, after all. Alyssa was bound to take over the family


    business


    one day. There was no one more suitable in their family.


    “But she’s so young and inexperienced. Shouldn’t she be enjoying her youth? What about marriage


    and


    having a family of her own?” rissa asked gently.


    “Plus, I’m sure you have several other siblings, allpetent and capable enough to take over the


    family


    business. Should it really be passed on to Ms. Alyssa’s hands? Wouldn’t she be under such


    unnecessary


    pressure?”


    “I understand your concerns, Madam rissa, but Lyse is no ordinary woman, Marriage and raising


    children don’t go with her principles at all. She might end up abandoning us once again, only returning


    when I’m in my 70s,” Jonah joked.


    “I would rather she stay by my side and be CEO than have her leave. We’ve doted on her since she


    was a


    child. As long as she wants something, I’ll be sure to give it to her if she asks.”


    rissa was touched by his statement


    The Schmidt family was already chaotic, even though there were only four children, with three being


    born


    to the same mother. Yet Winston’s family, with his three wives and countless children, were so


    selflessly


    offering their family business without argument?


    It was incredibly hard to believe!


    Though Joshmended Jonah’s actions, he secretly scoffed at them.


    Jonah really was foolish to be doting on his sister so blindly and giving his bright future up in the


    process.

    He would surely live to regret it!


    “Mr. Josh!” Just then, Josh’s secretary, Morgan Styles, hurried over. The moment Morgan saw rissa,


    however, he swallowed his words back down.


    “Please excuse me for a moment,” Josh said with a polite smile.


    Jonah nodded. “Go ahead.”


    The moment Josh left, rissa’s expression turned gloomy.


    “What did you say?” Josh asked after hearing what Morgan had to say, and his brows furrowed.


    “Ms. Caldwell is here, but she was barred outside the premises by the Taylor family’s bodyguards. She


    insists on seeing you right now. Some of the guests have noticed her too!” Morgan reported in a


    hushed tone.


    “She isn’t fit to be present at such an event. Kick her out.”
