Melvin sneered, "Do you have any idea how much people have sacrificed to make the Wilson family suffer losses? And you dismiss all of that with a single word about profit."
He stood up and looked coldly at Mrs. Sanders. "Let me tell you something—I've already formed an alliance with Reynolds Corporation. We're determined to take down Wilson. I don't want anyone stabbing me in the back, especially not my own mother. I didn't make a scene about the West Ridge incident last time, hoping you'd just go shopping and stay out of other matters. But if you don't, I don't know what I might do."
"Are you threatening me?" Mrs. Sanders couldn't even swallow the food in her mouth.
Melvin didn't deny it. "It's both a threat and a warning."
He left the estate directly, leaving Mrs. Sanders staring in disbelief at her son's retreating figure.
She sighed heavily and looked pitifully at Uncle Sanders. "Look at how your son talks to me, and you don't even say anything."
But Shawn looked at her gravely, his eyes full of disapproval. "Your son is right. The Wilson family patriarch is an old fox. You'd better stop having any dealings with him. I know what you've been thinking, but you need to suppress those ideas."
"Even you're bullying me!" Mrs. Sanders felt completely wronged.
"This isn't bullying—it's advice. Melvin is working very hard. We can't stab him in the back," Uncle Sanders said with heavy eyes.
As if remembering something, he said to Mrs. Sanders, "That invitation—throw it away."
"That one's for the White family," Mrs. Sanders looked at her husband in confusion.
“Your mum can't attend, so she gave you the invitation, right? Tear it up. Leave the rest to Melvin." Shawn stared at Mrs. Sanders intently.
Mrs. Sanders swallowed hard. She knew she couldn't refuse.
After leaving the estate, Melvin didn't go home but went to meet someone.
The person was waiting at the entrance of Sanders Corporation and looked like they'd been there for a while.
However, "I can help you ask Sasa, but I can't interfere with whatever choice she makes."
"Thank you." Zachary breathed a sigh of relief. With Melvin's help, the task was already half accomplished.
When Melvin got home, Sarah was still awake.
“Melvin, why are you back so late?" Sarah served Melvin some leftover soup.
"I went back to the family estate." Melvin took the bowl and had a sip. "Did you make this?"
Sarah nodded with a smile. "Yes. What brought you to the estate today?"
"I had some important matters to discuss with Mom and Dad. It's all handled now, so don't worry about it." Melvin patted Sarah's arm.
