His attitude left Albert and the others unable to gauge his thoughts, each of them furrowing their brows.

Avery didn’t wait for their response. Instead, he threw out another question. “So, according to your wisdom, how should we handle this matter?”

fixed his sharp eyes on him and interrupted, “I am the head of the Cox family. I make all the decisions. If I want to, I can consult with you, but if I don’t feel like it, I can decide on my own.
