announcement instantly caused a huge uproar in the room. Victoria’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her grandfather, unable to accept what she had just heard.
“Grandfather, what are you saying?” Victoria shouted. “Julia is going to get everything? That can’t be! It was supposed to be me p>
Mrs. Alfred immediately stepped forward. “Husband, look, we shouldn’t even be talking about this right now. You need to recover first, and when you’re feeling better, we can discuss everything properly p>
She turned toward Julia with a cold expression. “But I will never agree to let this girl run our family. You shouldn’t even dream about it p>
Mr. Alfred frowned. Although he was weak, his voice remained firm. “Well, that’s my final decision. You have no authority to change it p>
Mrs. Alfred’s face tightened with anger.
“My lawyer will handle everything,” Mr. Alfred continued. “Once the necessary documents are prepared, you will understand that this is not something you can simply overturn p>
Victoria clenched her fists. She was furious and still couldn’t believe that the position she had expected to inherit had suddenly been handed to Julia.
Julia, however, remained calm. She looked at her grandfather and nodded slowly.
“Okay, grandfather,” she said. “I will accept the responsibility and do my best p>
Mr. Alfred smiled faintly before looking at her seriously. “But I want one thing from you. Please treat it as my final wish and help me grant it p>
Julia frowned slightly. “What is it p>
Mr. Alfred took a weak breath. “Your cousin, Steven. Please help free him from jail p>
Julia’s expression changed slightly.
“I know he has done wrong,” Mr. Alfred continued. “And I believe he has already realized his mistake and regretted what he did. Please, Julia. I am asking you as my final wish p>
Julia sighed. She didn’t want to make a promise she wasn’t certain she could keep.
“Okay,” she finally said. “I will think about it p>
Mrs. Alfred immediately seized on her words. “You see? She said she will think about it! That means she hasn’t even agreed p>
Mr. Alfred looked irritated. “Enough p>
He glanced around the room before continuing. “Everyone, please leave. I need to rest p>
The nurse standing nearby immediately stepped forward and began ushering everyone out of the ward.
Julia walked toward her grandfather one last time and gently held his hand. “You will be okay, grandfather p>
Mr. Alfred gave her a faint smile. “I hope so p>

Marcus stood nearby, watching him carefully. For a moment, he wondered whether he could use the mysterious Rower of his bracelet to help revive or heal Mr. Alfred, but he wasn’t sure whether its abilities could work that way.
Eventually, everyone left the ward.
As they walked down the hospital corridor, Mrs. Alfred suddenly began shouting again. “You better forget about running that company! You won’t get anything from it p>
Julia stopped and turned toward her.
“Ma, I don’t even need the company to succeed,” she said calmly. “But if grandfather has given it to me and wants me to manage it, then I will do so p>
She stepped closer and stared directly at her. “So pipe down and stop worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet p>
With that, Julia turned around and angrily walked away.
Mrs. Alfred remained standing there in shock. She clearly hadn’t expected Julia to respond that way.
A few moments later, Julia and Marcus reached their car. Julia opened the door, sat down, and released a long sigh.
Marcus looked at her quietly. “You okay p>
Julia stared ahead through the windshield. “I honestly don’t know anymore. maybe I should take this on or not p>
Marcus looked at Julia as she sat quietly in the passenger seat. “If you want to handle the company just as your grandfather wanted, you can absolutely do so. Don’t worry about what they say or think about it p>
Julia sighed and stared through the window. “I know. I just need some time to think about everything before I make a decision p>
Marcus nodded. “That’s fine. Take your time p>
Later that evening, Marcus met with Natalie at thier home. The moment they sat down, Marcus got straight to the matter that had been occupying his mind.
“What have you found out about Mr. Kingsley?” he asked. “What about the mission the President gave us p>
Natalie nodded. “I’ve made some progress p>
She opened her laptop and showed him several pieces of information she had gathered. “I managed to locate one of Mr. Kingsley’s secret warehouses p>
Marcus’s expression immediately became serious. “A warehouse p>
“Yes,” Natalie replied. “And it’s not an ordinary warehouse p>
She explained that Kingsley had been using the location to store and distribute extremely destructive weapons and other dangerous materials. What made the situation even more alarming was that Kingsley had also been supplying cultivator power to terrorist groups.
“He’s doing all of this purely for money,” Natalie said. “He doesn’t care who gets hurt as long as he gets paid p>
Marcus’s eyes narrowed.
Natalie closed the laptop slightly. “The problem now is getting close to him. Kingsley rarely comes outside, and

whenever he does, he is surrounded by his men p>
Marcus nodded thoughtfully.
“Even if we find enough evidence connecting him to the warehouse, I still haven’t gathered enough to make a solid case against him,” Natalie continued. “We need something much stronger p>
Marcus leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment “It’s okay. I’ll inspect him directly myself,. I will find a way to get close to him and figure out what he’s really planning p>
Natalie nodded slowly.
The two remained silent for a few seconds before Natalie suddenly shifted in her seat.
“Uhnnn p>
Marcus glanced at her. “What p>
Natalie hesitated. She looked as though she wanted to say something but couldn’t bring herself to do it.
“I want to tell you about something p>
Marcus immediately sat up straighter. He thought Natalie was finally about to reveal whatever had been bothering her for some time.
“You can tell me,” he said calmly.
Natalie opened her mouth, but the words seemed to disappear. After a moment, she shook her head.
“You know what? Don’t worry about it p>
Marcus frowned. “What’s that p>
“It’s nothing to worry about, I can handle it myself” Natalie replied quickly.
Marcus continued looking at her, clearly unconvinced. Natalie avoided his gaze and quietly closed her laptop.
