Leonel was his protege, and Waylen was aware of his capabilities, but this turn of events was still unexpected.
Acting impulsively for the sake of a woman wasnât characteristic of Leonel!
Waylen now had a clear understanding.
Addressing his son casually, he said,
âThis hasnât garnered notice from others as of now.
Letâs maintain discretion for the time being.

âYou believe heâs gone mad, donât you?â
Waylen smiled.
âHis mind is lucid.
Allow him to proceed!â

Marcus gazed at his father, uncertain of his thoughts.
Waylen suddenly sighed.
âMaybe I pushed Leonel too hard when he was young.

Leonelâs background differed from Edwinâs.
Edwin experienced a challenging childhood but was born into a prestigious family, with both parents still present.
In contrast, Leonel was practically an orphan.
Following Marcusâ departure, Waylen sat in solitude in the study for an extended period of time.
He then dialed Mark.

He provided a succinct overview of the situation, and Markâs response mirrored his own, with nonchalant laughter and a reference to them as brats, proposing to leave them be.
âIn this group of youngsters, a victor will inevitably emerge; it has to be,â
he commented.
âSomeone has to take charge when weâre gone someday.
â
Mark sighed.
âItâs preferable for them to compete for now.
Otherwise when a genuine challenge arises, theyâll crumble at the first obstacle.
â
Waylen offered a faint smile.
âAre you concerned Edwin might struggle to retain control of the family business?â
Mark remained indifferent.
âIf he canât, thatâs his loss!â
Waylen found solace in Markâs response.
However, after ending the call, a heavy weight settled in his heart, along with a constant concern for one individual.
