PopularNovelChapter 346
The gist of it was this: Inman's mother's family was only willing to fold their entire estate into The Wheeler Group
on one condition-the assets could not end up in the hands of the children from the second marriage, unless
Herbert was out of the
picture.
In the end, Herbert's father caved under the pressure of the entire family and made his choice.
Timothy's face was ice-cold, his lips pressed into a hard, thin line.
He didn't need more than this one headline to figure out exactly what it meant.
He'd looked into this before: the chairman of The Wheeler Group doted on
Herbert for his mother's sake, and always meant to hand the company over to him one day.
But Herbert had given it all up.
As for why-Timothy knew perfectly well.

It looked like Herbert had gone to Aetherion, too.
Timothy glanced down at his own legs, his irritation growing.
Why did everyone have their eyes glued to his wife, acting like he didn't even exist?
He dialed Vince's number.
"Did you see the news?"
Of course he saw it!
But Vince just laughed. "There's so much news out there which one are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly which one. Can you be any more fake?"
Vince finally raised a brow, a sly smile in his voice. "Oh, | get it. You mean the piece about The Wheeler Group?
Saw it, yeah. The two sons fighting over the inheritance, and poor Herbert lost. Pretty rough for him."
Timothy let out a cold huff. "I doubt he thinks it's rough at all."
"How can you be so heartless? The guy misses out on the family fortune and you think he's not suffering?"
"Vince, you are such a fraud."
Other people might not know the real story, but Vince definitely did. He was just saying this to get under
Timothy's skin.
"Sure, I'm a fraud. But when you need something, it's always 'Vince, helpout.' When you don't, suddenly it's
back to callingby my full name."
Timothy hadn't called Vince by his first nin years. Not since the accident...
Vince had a real knack for hitting him where it hurt-always knew exactly what to say to dig in the knife.
"Don't forget, you still owefor stabbingin the back. How are you going to make that right?"
"Relax, I'm already on my way up with sget-well gifts."
As he finished speaking, Vince pushed open the hospital room door and hung up the phone.
He carried a basket of fruit and ssupplements in one hand, a bouquet of fresh flowers tucked in the crook of
his arm.
Timothy set his phone aside.
Vince cin, set the fruit basket on the bedside table, arranged the flowers, and suddenly the room was filled
with a gentle, sweet fragrance. It actually made the place feel almost pleasant.
He pulled up a chair and said, “I know you're dying to cafter me, but with your leg like that, | figured I'd
save you the trouble and visit myself."
Timothy shot him a frosty glare. "You stab me, then show up with sfruit and flowers, and that's supposed to
make us even? Am | that cheap to you?"
Vince scratched his nose, meeting Timothy's eyes with a crooked smile. "What do you wantto do?
| already stabbed you. If it'll make you feel better, how about you stabback and we'll call it even?"
Truth be told, Vince did feel a little guilty about the whole stabbing incident.
If he'd been related to Jessica, maybe it would've made ssense. But he wasn't. He had nothing to do with
her.
"A stab for a stab is easy enough to settle. I'm not in a hurry-I'll take my tgetting even with you. But look at
Herbert. He's so desperate to chase after my wife and so afraid I'll use the Wheeler family to comer him that he
gave up his inheritance without a fight. And you you sent him out of the country. If | lose my wife because of you,
how are you going to make that right?"
"Oh, so you do remember she's your wife? With everything you've done, is that how a husband should act? va
Honestly, how do you have the nerve to say that? Jessy's amazing of course people are going to love her, want
her. If you're jealous, maybe you should've thought about that before."
