The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 562:

Benedict’s temper immediately flared.

“Did I say anything out of line? Isn’t she a bit lacking in manners?”

Caden responded, “Even if she is short on manners, it’s a result of my indulgence.

If you have a bone to pick, address it with me.

Moreover, weren’t you the one who disapproved of her? Why should she greet you properly?”

Benedict fell silent, feeling a mixture of irritation and frustration.

His temple pulsed as he muttered, “My mother angers me, and now you’re adding fuel to the fire.

I shouldn’t have returned!”

Caden said softly, “You have no one to blame but yourself.”

The tension between the two men often escalated quickly, only to dissipate just as swiftly.

Benedict had intended to discuss a pressing matter with Caden.

Once the storm within him calmed, he said, “I need to have a word with you about the Moss family.

Let’s head to the study.”

When it came to the Moss family, the conversation inevitably circled back to Yolanda.

Benedict continued, “Caden, my wife has always sought stability, which is why she nudged me toward early retirement.

I’ve been out of the business for years and am blissfully unaware of its cutthroat nature.

You are young and accomplished, and I’m proud of that.

However, you should be more attuned than I am to Dorian’s substantial influence in Devarlton.”

The Moss and Ward families had their roots deeply embedded in the soil of Devarlton.

In Devarlton, Dorian’s influence ran deep, a web of connections woven through the fabric of society that could not be underestimated.

Caden, who also began his career in Devarlton, was gradually shifting his focus from international ventures to domestic business.

If Dorian wanted to ruin his company, it would be too easy.

Caden replied calmly, “Uncle, don’t worry.

I have this under control.

I’ve already done my utmost for the Moss family.

If they are still not satisfied, then I’ll have no choice but to stand against them.”

Benedict cautioned him, “Dorian might appear friendly, but if you push him too far, even your current skills might not be enough to handle the fallout.”

Caden shrugged it off, saying, “It’s fine.”

“What do you mean, ‘it’s fine’? You’ve been in business long enough to know the importance of planning for the future, right?”

Caden’s brow furrowed with displeasure.

“If I have to worry about every little thing, where is the joy in life? I’ve always conducted my business transparently and honestly, with no…”

Benedict sighed, frustration etching his features.

“What I mean is, can’t you see the bigger picture? Why make an enemy of the Moss family? Wouldn’t it be better to pursue a peaceful path?”
