In the Jent residence’s study, Hayson hung up the phone and stared deeply at Zach. “How did you find out about Ethan Arnold wanting to postpone the engagement?”

As Hayson delegated more and more responsibilities to Zach, he had come to realize that Zach’s mind was especially shrewd. Zach was no longer the easily manipulated child he once was.

“The success of Madelyn marrying into the Arnold family also affects our company’s interests. For Father’s sake, I naturally have to pay close attention to Madelyn’s affairs,” Zach replied.
