Love At The Wrong Table

His words carried a hint of condescension.

Although Old Mr. Summerton didn’t display it outwardly, he felt a deep sense of dissatisfaction.

Even though Old Mr. Summerton had long passed on the family business to Zaiden, having previously been the vice president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce and on equal footing with Bobby’s father, Old Mr. Summerton found it hard to accept taking orders from Bobby.

Bobby was even more direct now. “Firstly, I need the Summerton family’s cooperation to secure victory in the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown and build a strong reputation.”

Before Zaiden could interject, Old Mr. Summerton signaled for him to remain silent.

“The second matter is supporting my bid to succeed my father as the new president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce in the upcoming election next month,” Bobby continued.

“Bobby, what benefits will the Summerton family gain from this?” Althea inquired at once.
