However, it looked like the head butler had a pretty high opinion of Miss Davis.


    As cleared his throat and suggested, "How about we arrange for Miss Davis to meet us sometime soon?"


    Zach''s kids had all been reluctant to get involved with the Davis family business, so now all their hopes were pinned on Miss Davis.


    She seemed to have a sharp mind and excelled in every way-definitely someone worth grooming for the future.


    Especially since Keir had spent his entire life unmarried and without kids, managing the massive familywork with an iron grip.


    Zach, after that kidnapping incident with Mr. Nick, vowed to stay out of the Davis family''s core affairs. Fearing a repeat, he moved his wife and kids back to Ashford from abroad, choosing a low-profile life in the city.


    When Zach got married, he made a deal with Keir that one of his kids would have to inherit the Davis family mantle and be the future heir.


    Zach had always wanted to break away from the Davis family and didn''t want his kids to get dragged back in. So, he found a loophole: the inheritance had to go to hisst child.


    So, after having four boys, Mrs. Zach finally had a daughter.


    The idea of a girl inheriting the vast Davis family empire sounded absurd, but Keir didn''t mind her gender. However, after testing Miss Summer a few times, he dropped the idea of formally adopting her.


    Nick, who had been closely nurtured by Keir, was deeply affected by his kidnapping and had no desire to take the reins of the Davis family.


    The other young masters were even less capable of handling such a responsibility.


    It wasn''t until the long-lost Miss Davis came back that they started paying attention. At first, they were just curious, but soon they realized she might be much stronger than the previous Miss Summer, making them take a secret interest.


    After all, Zach''sst child could very well be the future Davis family heir. And if Miss Davis proved herself to be exceptional, who cared if she was a girl?


    Except for Nick, the other brothers weren''t exactly promising candidates anyway.


    As''s thoughts drifted, and suddenly, he clicked his tongue and said, "Head butler, don''t you think Zach and his wife haven''t let us meet Miss Davis not because they think we''d scare her, but because they''re afraid she''d be taken away?"


    Grady was momentarily stunned by thement, but then it hit him like a lightbulb moment.


    The agreement between Keir and Zach wasn''t exactly a secret within the Davis family, and As''s mention of the heir issue got him thinking even more about the possibilities.


    Moreover, Grady felt it was increasingly likely, especially considering how Miss Davis had looked at him during their elevator encounter as if he were just any other person-showing no fear or even the slightest bit of nervousness.


    Over the years, Grady had met countless people who usually showed fear at first sight of him. Miss Davis''s calm demeanor was a rare exception, unless she was someone of high stature, used to power dynamics. It was unlikely for a youngdy to be soposed otherwise.


    Miss Davis was smart, skilled in medicine, and had an understated sharpness, sharing some traits with the Davis family''s aura, meeting some of the criteria for an heir.


    Rubbing his chin, Grady thought, "Zach may seem carefree on the outside, but he''s a sly one at heart."


    The effort Mrs. Zach put into having so many kids just to end up with a daughter showed their determined strategy.
