Walter was so stricken that he dropped the teacup in his hand on the ground. At the same time, he felt


    extremely uneasy. There were only two possibilities for Nash to be calling him.


    Either Kai had woken up or he had failed to make it. Walter did not even have the courage to ask.


    “Mr. Watson, who’s the real owner of Splendor Microchips?”


    “S-Splendor?” Walter was somewhat stunned but also relieved. At least Nash did not tell him that Kai


    had passed.


    “I’m not very sure. I only recall the owner being from Mandora.”


    “Your nephew, Louis, is the regional manager at Splendor, right?”


    “Yes. Did he offend you, Dr. Calcraft? I’ll have hime over to apologize to you right away!” Walter


    said eagerly.


    “That’s not necessary. Just take control of him for a few days. If someone calls looking for him, just


    have him make up an excuse.


    Just make sure nobody finds out that he’s under your control!” Nash said solemnly.


    Walter agreed without hesitation. After ending the call, Nash went back to refining the pill.


    Watson Residence was an estate filled entirely with vis belonging to the Watson family. Louis was


    the son of one of Walter’s cousins who had passed away due to illness several years ago. Before his


    death, he had specifically entrusted Louis to Walter.


    Walter had provided Louis with a luxurious house, a fancy car, and an annual allowance of ten million.


    He believed he had fulfilled his duty to his cousin. If Louis had truly offended Nash, he would face


    more. severe consequences than Kai.


    Apanied by Janson, Walter headed toward Louis’ vi, which was located at the far end of the


    estate.


    Louis and his wife were enjoying a candlelit dinner on the vi terrace. Despite being in her 40s, his


    wife had maintained her skin so well that she looked like she was in her 20s.


    The woman exuded a mature charm, while Louis himself was dressed in a suit. Wine ss in hand, he


    smiled and said, “The subsidiarypany will be established soon. I might be assigned there as a


    general manager!”


    The woman raised her wine ss gracefully, clinking it with Louis’s as she smiled. “You’re really


    something. Couldn’t you just ask him for a job? Why insist on going out to work? You work so hard


    every month for a sry of just over a hundred thousand. It’s not even enough for me to buy a


    handbag!”


    Louis took a sip of red wine, sighed, and said, “He’s my father’s cousin. He won’t give me an important


    position so easily. Besides, he’s extremely strict with his subordinates and easily loses hist temper. I


    don’t want to live in constant fear every day!”


    “Suit yourself. Do whatever makes you happy!” The woman chuckled self-indulgently before asking in a


    soft voice, “Aren’t you nning to go see him? Kai just passed away. He must be grieving now.”


    “It’s his own fault. After all, Kai was his own grandson. The old man’s punishments have been really


    unpredictable!” Louis felt that Kai’s fate. was unfair, but he could only express his dissatisfaction


    privately. He did not dare to say such things in front of Walter.


    The woman’s expression changed slightly as she reproached in a low voice, “Lower your voice. If he


    hears you, he’ll definitely deal with you!”


    Louis sneered, “We’ve been living at Watson Residence for three or five years, no? When has he ever


    come to visit us? The old man is just someone who simply disowns his own family. No one will respect


    him after he’s dead!”


    Perhaps slightly intoxicated, Louis used this opportunity to vent his frustrations. The woman’s face


    turned pale as she scolded him again, “Louis, that’s enough!”


    Although Walter was strict at times, he was the one supporting their family. With the annual allowance


    of ten million over the past three to five years, they had umted millions in savings.


    Even if they just let it sit in the bank to earn interest, it would be enough for them to live afortable


    life for the rest of their lives.


    If Walter were to hear these words, where in Jonford would they be able to stay?


    Louis burped after drinking his wine. Calmer now, he smiled lightly and said, “I’ve had a bit too much to


    drink. Go make me a cup of hot tea, will you?”

    The woman gave Louis a disdainful look before heading off to brew the tea. Just as she turned around,


    however, she saw Walter walking up the stairs with a stern expression on his face and his hands.


    behind his back.


    He had heard every word just now.
