Chapter 982
The Fourth Lady wanted to brush the whole thing off like it was nothing, but the anger in her eyes gave her
away. In the end, she gritted her teeth and snapped, "Mother, Morris is scheming. He's smearing Jackson's name
and trying to drive a wedge between us as husband and wife. His intentions couldn't be more malicious."
The matriarch paused for a moment, then replied, cool as ever, "If Nathan is making things up, I'll make sure he
gives you both an explanation."
A flash of wicked satisfaction lit up the Fourth Lady's eyes.
Dinner that night was a family affair, set out in the garden's gazebo.
There were two tables: one for the matriarch and the older generation, and one for Lydia and the younger crowd.
Since Nathan was new to the family and happened to be the Sharp family's eldest grandson, Mrs. Vincent made
sure he sat right next to her.
When everyone had settled in, the matriarch addressed the group. "I brought you all together tonight for two
reasons. First, with Nathan back in the family, we should think of a proper nfor him-one that fits the Sharp
family's traditions."
"And second, we need to talk about Nathan's job. As the direct grandson, he'd usually be considered the heir,
but given his health, he may not be up for that. Still, aside from the top spot, he should be able to choose any
position he wants at Vincent Corporation."
She looked around, watching everyone's reactions.
Morris spoke up, calm and steady. "I don't care about the last name, but I'm not changing my first name."
Jules went a little pale.
He didn't seem to care about his birth parents, but he was strangely attached to the nNathan. What was
that about?

"Is there something special about the n'Nathan'?" Jules asked.
Morris nodded. "Yeah."
The matriarch was quick to agree. "Alright, Nathan it is."
Morris's expression didn't change.
Jules felt a weird ache in his chest.
The matriarch moved things along. "Nsettled. Now, about work... what do
you all think about making him Operations Manager?"
The aunts and uncles all glanced at each other, but no one wanted to speak up first.
But at the kids table, the complaints started flying "Grandma, that's not fair! Why should he get such an
important job just for coming back? We dont even know if he can handle it. | think he should start at the bottom
like the rest of us." s
The matriarch hesitated. "Well-"
Before she could finish, Morris picked up his wine glass, tipped it back, and drank
it all in one go. He set the glass down with a thud and looked sideways at his
younger cousin. "You think | should start at the bottom?"
"You're the Director of Marketing at
Vincent Corporation. You've been
back in the States working Harket
expansiohora while. And you're
saying something that naive? Haven't
you ever looked into your
competition?" s The content is on

Mike was thrown for a loop.
"Competition? You think you're my competition?"
Everyone looked a bit confused.
Sensing an opportunity to boost his
own son, the second master J4mped
in to meng bade? for Morris.
"Natta, | heard you spent years in
prison You're only in your twenties
what kind of résumé could you
possibly have that would make my
son see you as a rival?" s The content

Backed by his dad, Mike puffed up. "Exactly. My competitors are all big names in business. Someone like you
doesn't even register."
Morris just shook his head, clearly unimpressed by the clueless father and son.
He hadn't worked at any top-tier
company, but Morris was Surg qigone
thing- wep csbn to real
ability, he could wipe the floor with
anyone at this table. The content is
