WantNovelChapter 984
One dinner was all it took for Morris to earn the Sharp family's collective scorn.
Jules kept quiet the whole meal, but the brooding in his eyes gave him away. He wanted nothing more than to
bring Morris to heel to turn this wild, stubborn spirit into a docile follower, loyal only to him. But looking at how
Morris carried himself, so proud and untouchable, Jules figured he wouldn't need to lift a finger. The rest of the
family—brothers, nephews, and all-would do the dirty work for him.
That thought made Jules secretly pleased. Still, on the surface, he played the fair mediator. "Nathan, Arthus is
your younger brother-he's a bit hotheaded. Cut him sslack, will you? Your grandmother's kindly arranged a
job for you at the company. You ought to thank her for looking out for you."
If Jules was good at putting up a front, Morris had mastered the art. He smiled, all polite and gentle, but his eyes
were cold as ice. "Of course."
Then he added, "But | appreciate Grandmother's kindness. | won't be working at Vincent Corporation. Whether it
sinks or swims, makes money or loses it, that has nothing to do with me."
The whole table went silent. Was he really turning down such a cushy gig?
The old lady stared at Morris, her face a tangle of emotions. She'd assumed he had his eyes on the family
fortune, but now she wasn't so sure.
Or was he just playing hard to get?

family—we have more than enough to support you."
Her words sounded gracious, but everyone heard the subtext: Morris was being cut out of the inheritance. The
rest of the family breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
She turned to Jules. "From now on, give Nathan a bigger allowance each month. The others get two hundred
thousand, but they also get a share of the company profits. Nathan's allowance will be a million a month."
No one objected. They all knew that no matter how big an allowance looked, it was nothing compared to the
fortune that cwith dividends-those brought in tens of millions every year.
Morris was getting the short end of the stick, whether he realized it or not.
Jackson, always petty, couldn't help but gloat. "Nathan, you don't lift a finger, but your allowance is the biggest.
You should really thank the rest of us."
Morris snorted. “I'm an adult. If | need money, I'll earn it myself. | don't need the family to hand it to me."
Once again, the room was stunned into silence.
While everyone else argued, Morris took his tfinishing his meal. He laid his chopsticks down dabbed his
mouth with a napkin, and stood up, calm and collected. “I'm done eating. If you'll excuse me." s
With everyone staring at him, dumbfounded, he turned and left. Disappointment filled Jules's eyes.
"That kid has no sense of how things work," someone muttered.
The old lady sighed, her worry plain as day. "Jules, this boy clearly wants nothing to do with the Sharp family. You
need to pat more effort into connecting with him s
Jules's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, Mother."
The matriarch set down her chopsticks, appetite gone. "No point eating anymore. The whole dinner's been
ruined."
She left, looking defeated.

sunflowers swaying in the breeze,
and a wistful smile tugged at his
lips. s
