The loud crash downstairs jolted Kylie awake from her nap.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked down the stairs, a thin shawl hanging off her shoulders.
“Kylie, why are you wearing so little?”
Henry saw her and tried hard to hold back his anger.
He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
Kylie felt warm at the small gesture. She looked up at him and asked gently, “What’s wrong? Why are you so upset?”
Hearing her voice, Henry let out a long, troubled sigh. “It’s Tess. She hit the daughter of the Reagens.”
“Tess? The Reagens?” Kylie repeated, frowning.
She searched her memory for that family.
“Aren’t they one of those old–money families from Moserton? How did Tess even get involved with them?”
She couldn’t understand at all.
“Oh well.”
Henry pushed down his frustration and exined everything he knew.
Kylie’s face grew darker and darker as she listened. By the end, her anger matched Henrypletely. She pped the coffee table, and the soft skin of her palm instantly turned red.
“Ever since she grew up, she’s been causing trouble everywhere,” Kylie snapped. “She’s getting more and more unlikeable. I don’t even know why you wanted her back in this house!”
Kylie was furious.
From the day she gave birth to that girl, she had never felt close to her. Henry didn’t like Tess either. What was supposed to be a precious child born out of love turned into a ticking bomb.
Right now, Kylie only regretted not making a different choice years ago.

“They aren’t the type to let things go. If they decide to make trouble, we won’t have any way to fight back!”
She gritted her teeth, wishing she could drag Tess home and shake some sense into her. Life had finally be peaceful andfortable. Tess just had to ruin it again.
“Cyrus said the same thing,” Henry said with a headache, rubbing his forehead. “Even though ourpany is gone, I still have a couple of factories left in Krigan. Without those, we wouldn’t be able to keep up with our daily expenses.
“But Cyrus made it clear: if Tess refuses to apologize to Jolie, her smallpanies will fall apart. Worse, he’ll find a way to destroy everything I still have.”
His words made Kylie’s expression harden, unusually stern.
When the Reagens made a threat, they meant it.
Nadine then shared her own experience from trying to speak to Tess, her voice full of frustration.
“That girl haspletely lost her mind!” Kylie snapped.
Kylie was so mad that her whole body felt hot. She yanked off Henry’s jacket and her shawl and threw both onto the couch.
“I’m going there myself. And I’ll bring Aunt Violet and the others with me. I want them to see with their own eyes that Tess is not fit to take over anything! That way they’ll finally drop this idea!”
Kylie was furious and decided to make things right.
Henry jumped in fast, grabbing her arm in panic. “Hey, Kylie. Did you forget what I told you? If Tess takes over the Larson Group, we can still help her a little. But if it falls into someone else’s hands, we’re outsiders. We won’t even get the chance to help.”
That stopped Kylie in her tracks.
She clenched her teeth, torn.
Even though Tess was her biological daughter, she still didn’t want Tess to take over thepany. As a Larsons herself, she cared about protecting the family image.
But Henry wasn’t wrong.
If Tess didn’t take the role, the only other person left that qualified for that would be Violet.

Back then, she and Henry were forced apart because Violet refused to ept their marriage. The elders sided with Violet. Kylie had no choice but to leave the family.
All these years, she never stopped resenting her for it.
“Then…”
Kylie hesitated.
Henry slid his hand over hers and gently squeezed. “If this really bothers you, then maybe we should use this chance to push the Larsons to name Tess as the next heir.”
“No!”
Kylie cut him off instantly. Her eyes went wide.
She stared at Henry, hurt and angry.
How could he even suggest that?
Henry didn’t back down. His voice dropped, calm and persuasive.
“Think about it. Instead of dragging this out, it’s better we take control early. And we don’t want the Reagans causing trouble and dragging us into it.”
Kylie opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She looked between Henry and Nadine. Both of them were nodding firmly.
“Mom, it’s true,” Nadine chimed in, lifting a brow. “Great–Aunt Olivia and Great–Uncle Benjamin are getting old. If anything happens to either of them, Tess won’t even get a chance <i>to </i>im thepany. Aunt Violet will snatch it away before anyone reacts.” She leaned in, lowering her voice like she was sharing a secret. “I heard something. Aunt Violet was the one who drove you and Dad apart years ago. That’s why you two ended up living in this remote city. And now that Dad’s business is finally doing better in Aetheris, Tess swooped in and took everything, ruining it all. If our family goes through one more hardship, we won’t survive it.”
