“Hey, there you are. I got stuck with Henry for so long. Why didn’t you come save me?” Wendy walked over to Lemon and bumped her with her shoulder.
Lemon chuckled. “I just wanted to see you all helpless.”
She flipped her long hair. “I told you already, we should just declare war on Henry directly. Why bother pretending like this? No one can stand it anymore. Even Chase told me to go rescue you, but I wasn’t gonna.”
Wendy pinched her ear. “You!”
Caesar cleared his throat. “I just saw Larry and Henry go into the break room one after the other. Mr. Maurice seems to be in there too. You think those two are gonna argue inside?”
Wendy shook her head. “Henry wouldn’t cross the line like that, but with him there, Larry definitely won’t get anything done.”
His whole role was probably just to stir up trouble.
Lemon said, “When I came in, I saw Larry walk in. Those two weren’t together yet. Larry looked like he wanted to say something to me, but I had too many assistants and secretaries around, so he didn’t get the chance.”
Seeing how openly they talked about Henry and the Harrison family, Chase suddenly felt everything that had been bothering him fade away like smoke in the wind–none of it could stir his heart anymore.
Caesar glanced at Chase, then said to Wendy, “Did you hear? Henry already started making moves on that side. I just got the news from Mario. I don’t think Henry can wait much longer.”
At the mention, Wendy asked, “Why didn’t you bring him with you? Someone that important showing up here would’ve made quite a show.”
“He has a meeting tonight. I came to the banquet, so he had to go in my place.”
At the moment, Mario hadn’t returned to the Harrison family. Instead, he was serving as a vice president at Typhoon Corp.
At first, a lot of people were unhappy about it.
They said Mario was just Caesar’s lover and questioned how he even ended up at Typhoon Corp, claiming that with someone like Caesar as the heir, the company was doomed.
Stuff like “choosing love over power” and other nasty talk flew around.
But Mario’s methods were ruthless. He hadn’t been in the Meyer Group long before he secured his position solidly. He was even more ruthless than Caesar.
With Wendy’s help, Caesar managed to take back Typhoon Corp, but too many Meyer family members were already inside the company, and Caesar couldn’t just fire them all.
What Caesar couldn’t do because of the Meyer family ties, Mario wasn’t afraid to handle.

“I told you, out of everyone in the Harrison family, Mario is the one most like Mr. Bruno, Henry and Larry don’t even come close, but they’re the ones always fighting.”
Lemon had heard about Mario’s background from Wendy–turns out all the rumors back then were true.
That stuff dated back decades.
Lemon’s father had mentioned that before Bruno died, he might’ve had a lover outside and possibly even a kid. Supposedly, he changed his will after that, but no one knew the details.
It’s not like they could ask a dead man.
“Well, Mario sure stayed hidden.”
“It’s not hiding, it’s exile,” Wendy corrected her. With Caesar standing right there, and Mario being their ally now, they had to be extra careful with their words.
Lemon hadn’t meant to say anything offensive anyway.
In the business world, no matter what decisions respected seniors made, the younger generation couldn’t really judge.
Especially not someone who had already passed away.
“Hey, Henry’s coming out.” Lemon stood at the edge of the group. She saw Henry walk out with a cold face, and as he shut the door, he shot a fierce glare back at someone inside.
“If I remember right, your secretary’s still in there, isn’t she? Melody? I was wondering why I couldn’t snatch her–turns out you already took her.” Lemon shook her head. “Who can compete with you?”
Wendy apologized lightly.
In things like this, she never held back.
“Henry’s probably coming for you.” Lemon tilted her head at Wendy. “You’d better get back out there.”
Wendy said nothing.
The renovation of the Typhoon Corp building trended for several days online–along with gossip about Caesar himself.
A lot of people already knew Caesar’s lover was a man.
Caesar didn’t care about gossip like that. The more attention he got at home, the better Typhoon Corp’s stock did. For a businessman, that kind of gossip was actually helpful.
But anyone who wanted to cozy up to Caesar or dig into his background found no openings. So they tried to investigate Caesar’s lover instead. After all that digging, they realized–even the name was fake.
“The name I use at Typhoon Corp is Peter Parker. Caesar set up the identity for me.“,

Group, Chase only invited a few people close to him.
They were still in a private room at the Watering Hole. The people doing business were in the room next door. Only the closest ones were here.
“No wonder,” Chase laughed, “Wendy told me Henry couldn’t dig anything up, so he asked her to help. In the end, they handed over someone with the surname Parker, and I was ill wondering who that was
