Chapter 1448 I Am Sorry
Though Cyrus was happy for Wynter, he doubted the rumors' credibility. After reviewing the document multiple times, he finally showed it to Reuben. "Look at the land Wynter's secured, Grandpa!"
Reuben had known that Wynter had a strategy in place. After a chat with his old friend, he was convinced that she wouldn't be easily deceived.
Instead, Wynter had misled the Wray family by acquiring a piece of land, keeping Kenton in the dark about her involvement in the stock market.
Both Reuben and Fabian agreed that it was worthwhile to invest five million dollars in fabricating a false impression, seeing it as a way to draw out corrupted figures. They didn't expect that Wynter's land could be profitable, though.
Instead of turning the land into a fruit plantation, Reuben was considering selling it at half price.
Yet, the document officially stated that the land was intended for commercial development. That was more than just a financial opportunity-it marked a major milestone for the family business!
Reuben rose from his seat as his hands trembled in excitement.
The Whitman family had no prior history with real estate and had never been involved in the industry. However, it was a common dream for businessmen to see their property developed by the govemment.
"Where's Wynter? Where is she now?' Reuben asked with a beaming smile. He was thrilled to show off Wynter to the public. Though she was typically modest, she turned out to be a quiet storm.
Marie, who was preparing the medicine, hurried over upon hearing the commotion. Holding her hand, Reuben said in a hoarse voice, "Sevie has a real talent for business. You've taught her well, Marie."
In the past, Reuben had been struggling to find someone worthy of managing both the Quinnells' and Whitemans' vast business empires. It wasn't just about the families' business approaches but also their initial aspirations.
Unfortunately, none of Reuben's children could fully grasp the vision. Even if they did, it was challenging to turn it into reality.
Despite his outstanding performance, Taylor could only manage half of the family business. Any attempts to expand further might lead to potential problems.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
However, Cyrus was different. He had shied away from the challenging routes from a young age, and the Montclair family had deliberately pampered him.
Recognizing that children should develop at their own pace, Reuben kept his wishes to himself. That said, he was content with how things had turned out. He might not live to see his own wishes realized, but he could honor his ancestors' legacy with Wynter's involvement.
Cyrus could tell that Reuben was genuinely thrilled. It was a side of Reuben he had never seen before.
As far as Cyrus remembered, Reuben had always been full of secrets. He was an avid reader who seldom lost his temper and enjoyed practicing calligraphy alone.
To outsiders, Reuben was a classic example of a sophisticated businessman. However, Cyrus was aware of the deep disappointment Reuben felt in his solitude, especially when it came to Cyrus himself.
Cyrus hadn't fully understood Reuben before. After following Wynter to work, he began to grasp the older generation's perspective.
Take Orson for example. Despite the minimal revenue, he remained dedicated to his business rather than undergoing a transformation.
His commitment wasn't only to support his disabled employees but also keep local brands alive in people's minds. With their freshness and quality, foreign goods could easily capture the market share with some marketing.
Even so, there were those working to preserve the domestic goods. Although those brands went unnoticed now, they would eventually emerge to meet future needs. That was the older generation's persistence. At that moment, Cyrus was overcome with a surge of emotion and blurted out, 'I'm sorry, Grandpa!"
