Chapter 1000
Mrs. Vincent watched Morris's tall, upright figure as he walked away. Even though his body was marked by
disability, there was a quiet pride in the way he carried himself nothing about him looked defeated.
In that moment, something clicked for the old lady. She let out a long sigh, realizing it was her own narrow-
mindedness that had clouded her judgment all this time.
She'd always thought that Morris's physical limitations meant his spirit must be limited too—either timid or
insecure. So, she'd lavished her grandmotherly affection on the other grandchildren, barely sparing a thought for
him.
She had never seen it before, but now it was obvious: Morris might be frail, but his heart was brighter and
stronger than anyone else's.
Regret and frustration twisted inside her, and she knew exactly where those feelings cfrom-her own
treatment of Morris.
"Arthur, go and bring your brother Lincoln back," she said, her voice trembling with anxiety. "And while you're at
it, make sure he understands exactly why Vincent Corporation lost to Stewart Enterprises. Spell it out for him.
Tell him to look at the big picture, not just listen to one side, and definitely not to get stubborn and mess up the
company's future."
With those words, the old lady walked away, her steps heavy with resignation. By evening, Jules and his brothers
had chome.
Arthur had been waiting at the door for ages. As soon as he spotted them, he rushed over, nerves written all

"Lincoln, Dad, Uncle," Arthur greeted them one by one.
Jules, who'd always been fond of his accomplished nephew, smiled. "Arthur, you're waiting for us-something
important on your mind?"
Arthur shot a glance toward the inner courtyard and nodded, his face dark.
"Grandma askedto wait for you. She wantsto tell you something." Jules and his brothers settled onto the
living room sofas, lounging comfortably. Jules picked up his tea and took a lazy sip. "Go on then."
Arthur swallowed, gathering his thoughts. "Our deal with East Sunrise Estates— Stewart Enterprises swooped in
and took it from us."
Jules's teacup froze halfway to his lips. He stared at Arthur, disbelief all over his face. "How is that even possible?
What does Stewart Enterprises have that we don't?"
Arthur leaned forward, his voice rising. "Lincoln, you have no idea. Their robotics technology is lightyears ahead
of ours. When their robots are in front of you,

Jules looked stunned. "You're serious?"
Arthur nodded, then dropped the real bombshell. "And those amazing robots? They were created by... Morris."
Jules went pale, then flushed. "No way!"
Arthur replied, “If | hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never believe Morris could pull off something so
advanced. But just before you got home, | got a report from our inside man."
Arthur went on to lay out everything

Even Jules, a man who'd seen more than his share of the world, was left speechless.
