As soon as Robin heard the news, he immediately understood why Vera had sent him a message asking for help
The Lynches were preparing to sell out their granddaughter in exchange for protecting Northlorn
Residence.
Everyone in Brighton''s elite circles knew Hendrix was a notorious yboy.
ast time, at the Elysian Springs Lodge, he had offended Robin, and Robin had given him a lesson he wouldn''t forget.
Northlom Residence had decided to settle him down by making him marry, hoping to curb his rebellious
ways.
When the Lynches learned about this, they immediately started thinking about using it to their advantage. No wonder Vi had suddenly invited Vera to the celebration for her 80th birthday.
A few days ago. Vi had sent a letter to Vera.
At first, they thought Vi was trying to see her long-lost granddaughter before she passed away.
But now, the invitation seemed to have an entirely different purpose-to arrange a marriage between Vera and that spoiled young man.
It was clear now that the rumors about the Lynches being nothing more than an empty shell were true.
The Lynches three generations of granddaughters and grandsons were decent-looking. Still, none couldpare to the beauty of Vera.
She was the most outstanding woman in the Lynches'' history.
Apart from Jamie, no one in the Lynches had seen Vera.
However, she had made numerous public appearances at major events, like the Silva Group''s IPO press conference and significant national charity activities.
When Vi saw videos and photos of Vera, she used her as a pawn to save the struggling Lynch Group. In recent years, the head of the Lynches, Steven, had been bedridden for a long time. Rumors even''said that he was now mentally incapacitated and no longer capable of managing the family business.
The responsibility had fallen to Steven''s eldest son, Keh. Still, he had a strained rtionship with his mother and rarely dealt with the family''s affairs.
The Lynches have taken a massive hit over the years, and though they still look strong on the surface, it''s
all a facade.
In reality, the Lynches are nothing more than an empty shell.
Back when Steven was still healthy, Lynch Group was mighty.
The family''s business empire spanned real estate, healthcare, railways, aviation, and shipping.

It was a massive conglomerate with influence reaching all across Draconia.
For a time, they even held the top position among the five great families of the capital.
In those days, Lynch Group''s strength was truly remarkable.
After Steven fell ill, the family started to decline.

Though the Lynches still held the title of one of the Five Great Families, it no longer shared the same influence as the others,
On top of everything, Keh and Vi have a tense rtionship.
Outwardly, Keh holds the chairman position at the Lynch Group, but in reality, Vi pulls the strings..
Even though there are other branches in the Lynches, Vi has never considered handing over the chairman role to anyone else.
Her attachment to the corporation''s control stems from her favoritism towards her biological son, Keh.
The other descendants aren''t her own, so naturally, they haven''t earned her favor.
Over the years, Vi has done everything to win Keh over, hoping he''d return and lead the family again.
After years of struggle, she''s finally willing to put aside her stubbornness andpromise, even preparing to wee Maric and her daughter into the Lynches. However, she worries that it might quickly decline if she leaves this chaotic family business in Keh''s
hands.
Before her time is up, she''s nning to set everything in order so that Keh can inherit the family legacy.
If they could secure a marriage alliance with the Northlorn Residence, the Lynches would gain a powerful ally.
Keh''s management and business skills were all carefully nurtured by Steven back in the day.
With his capabilities, it would only be a matter of time before the Lynches reimed their top spot among the five great families.
This n has been in Vi''s mind for a long time, and it is her final move to secure stability for the family. She''s determined to handle everything before her 80th birthday. Half an hourter, Robin arrived at the Serene Summit Vi in the capital.
As thergest metropolis in Draconia, the capital has a poption of over 20 million, wherend is as valuable as gold..
The average price per square meter in the eastern suburbs is over 200,000.
And that''s nothingpared to the Lynches''s vi on Serene Summit.

you approach the outer grounds of the Lynches vi, you''re greeted by the sight of a castle-like
mansion.
This sprawling 200,000-square-meter estate is like a bustling small town in itself.
The Lynches castle-style vi, worth a staggering 30 billion, could easily be mistaken for a massivemercial and entertainmentplex.
With mountains, rivers, fitness facilities, and everything you could possibly need for living, dining, and leisure, it''s a testament to the Lynches''s former glory.
look a little closer, and the details tell a different story.
The vi''s exterior has grown dated, with signs of age on the fa?ade.
Untrimmed weeds surround the grounds, evidence that upkeep has fallen by the wayside.
To the observant eye, it''s clear-the Lynches is no longer the powerhouse it once was.
But even a dying camel is still more significant than a horse.
Though the Lynches may decline, they still maintain the grandeur and scale fitting of an elite family in the capital.
Robin parked his car and began walking toward the central courtyard of the Lynch estate.
The grand entrance of the Lynches''s vi was already brightly decorated, with luxury cars filling the driveway.
One after another, wealthy families and prosperous merchants arrived, entering the Lynch estate to pay their respects
"Sir, may I see your invitation?" A security guard stopped Robin as he reached the entrance, reminding him that an invitation was required to enter such an exclusive event.
Fortunately, Catherine had invited him to the Lynches'' birthday banquetst night.
A celebration of this scale? Of course, the Lynches wouldn''t dream of not inviting the eight royal families of the capital
The guard at the gate carefully inspected the invitation Robin handed over.
Robin looked unfamiliar, and the guard considered questioning him further.
But when he noticed it was a special VIP invitation-the kind reserved for guests from the royal families- he immediately allowed Robin to pass with polite deference.
As Robin stepped into the grand hall of the Lynce Mansion, a voice called out from behind him, stopping him in his tracks Wren shot him a cold look. "Who are you? Do you even have an invitation? This isn''t the ce someone like you should be walking into."
The guards hesitated, caught off guard. They recognized Wren, even though, in past years, the Lynches had never publicly acknowledged Keh''s daughter from his rtionship with an actress.
This time, however, the matriarch had specifically invited Marie and her daughter, Wren, to the birthday banquet-a clear signal that she was prepared to wee them into the Lynches fold.

Wren''s sharpmand instantly caught the attention of the guards and guests nearby. She demanded, "Why did let him in?" Acting as if she were already the hostess of the Lin estate, she questioned the security.

The guard quickly exined, "Ms. rke, this gentleman has a special invitation from one of the royal families, so...
"A royal invitation?" Wren sized Robin up with skepticism. "How could he possibly have an invitation from one of the eight royal families?
To my knowledge, guests from the royal families attending a banquet like this would have parked their ats right in front of the vi doors! He drove himself and parked in the regr area.
"I suspect his invitation is fake!"
