“Brian, please help Aldrich get off the hook.


    ” Chase got straight to the point.


    Brian’s tone was icy.


    “Chase, he’s broken thew.


    ”


    “I know he’s done wrong, but he’s my son and your cousin.


    Please let him go.


    I’ll take him abroad, and he won’te back,” Chase pleaded.


    Brian sneered as he unlocked his car and climbed in.

    “Chase, I’ve always treated Aldrich like a brother.


    And what did I get? All the kindness and friendliness he’s disyed toward me over the years was just an act.


    For years, he’s been concealing his true capabilities, aiming to take my ce.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    I suspect it’s rted to your guidance.


    ”


    Chase stayed silent, and Brian didn’t expect a response.


    “Chase, if Aldrich really wanted to lead the Hughes Group, he should have faced me openly.


    If he proved himself capable, I would have stepped aside.


    But he chose underhanded methods, involving himself in smuggling and moneyundering using thepany’s name.


    Under his leadership, the Hughes Group would undoubtedly fall apart.


    ”


    Chase, hearing Brian’s harsh words, didn’t argue but conceded, “Yes, it’s all our fault.


    Brian, if you let Aldrich go, you can punish him however you see fit.


    ”


    Brian’s gaze hardened as he looked into the distance.


    “Chase, my father and I aren’t cruel.


    After what you did to our family years ago, you were sent away instead of being severely punished.


    But what did you do? You repaid kindness with betrayal, never sho


    wed any regret, and tried to take what wasn’t yours.


    I’m sorry, but I won’t repeat my father’s mistake.


    ”


    Brian knew that showing mercy could lead to the same mistakes being made.


    Someone like Aldrich was simply beyond saving.


    Seeing that Brian remained resolute, Chase became enraged.


    He hissed, “Brian, Aldrich is my only son.


    Can you really be so ruthless as to not let him off?”


    Brian responded coldly, “Chase, I’ll repeat.


    He broke thew and must face serious consequences.


    ”


    “You…”


    “Is there anything else? I’m hanging up now.


    ”


    With that, Brian ended the call.


    Outside the window, snowkes gently descended, casting a quiet, frosty nket over the world.


    Brian started the car, his expression icy.


    He couldn’t help but think that his younger brother Barlow was far superior to Aldrich!


    Taking a deep breath, heposed himself and drove off.
