Chapter 1200:
To Brook, they were still bound by blood.
He was confident that, in time, Kellan would come to see his perspective. As for Charisma Company, since his son had founded it, Brook believed that it naturally belonged to him too.
âYour behavior at the birthday party has turned the Lloyd family into a joke in Ontdale. Naturally, we must use this project to restore our reputation.â
For Brook, safeguarding the Lloyd Groupâs reputation was worth sacrificing some profits.
Hearing his fatherâs admission made Hoyt feel utterly foolish. Everyone was in on the truth â everyone except him, who had been left clueless.
The realization was too much for him to bear. He gripped the phone tightly in his hand.
A sense of panic began to set in.
âDad, please hand the project back to me. Kellan has no regard for the Lloyd Group.â
Desperation consumed Hoyt as he grasped for control.
His plan to humiliate Kellan had backfired, leaving him as the discarded pawn instead.
Determined, he repeated himself. âIâm the only one who truly has the familyâs best interests at heart!â
Upon hearing this, Kellan let out a mocking snicker.
âItâs good to have ideas, but the more important part is that you need to have the capability to make them a reality.â
It was obvious to Hoyt that Kellanâs words were meant as a mockery. Still, Hoyt didnât have the strength to confront him at the moment. All he cared about was winning Brookâs approval and proving his value.
âDad, I admit Iâve been struggling recently, but Iâve always listened to you.â He continued angrily, âKellan only thinks about himself and causes trouble. He doesnât care about the family at all!â

His tone shifted to a desperate plea as he added, âPlease, Dad. Give it another thought.â
It was unthinkable that one birthday banquet could leave Hoyt ostracized and treated as a pariah.
Even his own father had turned against him.
Brookâs voice grew colder still. âSilence. Even if heâs terrible, at least he holds some value. Unlike you, whoâs just a burden.â
Brookâs words were sharp and unforgiving. âWhat are you good for, besides being obedient?â
Brook knew full well that Kellan didnât care about the Lloyd Groupâs interests.
But he also understood that Hoyt wasnât suited to take charge.
The future of the Lloyd Group would ultimately depend on Kellan, so Brook offered him incentives to ease their father-son relationship. The key was that if Charisma Company thrived in Vrining, the Lloyd Group would benefit as well.
âWhile the project is ongoing, donât bother your brother again.â Brook was aware that Kellan was standing right beside him, so he made sure to emphasize the point. âHoyt, stay home and think about your actions. Youâve embarrassed the Lloyd family enough lately!â
