When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“The Murphys have many children, but there is only one who controls the family fortune and business,” Ashton explained while driving. “Robert Murphy and Armond aren’t immediate family members. Robert has three sons—all three of whom are not employed at the Murphy Corporation. The rest of his grandchildren have all also started up their own businesses in fields of their own choosing. Jim is Robert’s third son and loves literature, so he focused solely on learning literature and arts since young.”

“So, Armond is…”

“He’s Robert’s eldest’s son’s grandson. He was chosen to inherit the family business because he has a strong interest in business and earning money. Unfortunately, Armond was so determined to make a profit that greed consumed his morals, bringing lots of trouble to the Murphy family. That’s why the Murphys have fallen far from what they used to be in the past.”

If nothing happens to the Murphys, they naturally stay out of each other’s business, but once problems arise, the family name becomes everyone’s top priority. They will each utilize all their power and resources to defend their fellow relatives. It’s just
