CHAPTER_DETAIL_H1

Ever since then, Victoria had been terrified of dealing with people like him. Vincent had promised her he would cut ties with Mr. Tyson. So why was he suddenly...

"Honey, you're doing business with him?"

"Yeah. We're signing a massive contract. Once it's finalized, we just have to wait to ring the bell and go public. When that happens, Wesley's path at the TV station will be even smoother. Besides, doesn't he like that Sienna girl? Once The Vance Family goes public, we'll be completely matched in social standing."

Victoria pursed her lips, her heart racing with anxiety. She couldn't shake the feeling that they were rushing things.

She knew Wesley liked Sienna. Supposedly, this whole mess started because he was trying to stick up for her.

"But partnering with someone like Mr. Tyson... isn't that playing with fire? If Sean finds out..."

It wasn't that Victoria didn't care about her eldest son. She simply favored her youngest since he had spent more time by her side.

But her eldest son was a cop. If he found out Vincent was collaborating with the likes of Mr. Tyson to expedite the IPO, father and son would undoubtedly fall out again.

Wesley had always been insecure that The Vance Family wasn't a publicly traded company, making him feel unworthy of Sienna.

But Victoria was also furious. As a woman, could she really not tell that Sienna was just stringing her son along?

Vincent patted her shoulder. "Once we go public, our status will rival The Wynn Family's. Stop worrying and just get ready to plan Wesley's wedding."

Victoria forced a smile, but the unease in her heart wouldn't settle.

Winona flipped through the documents in front of her. Victoria's sister was named Valerie Carter.

She had tracked down people who were close to Valerie back in the day. After piecing all the details together, Winona immediately knew her next move.

It was midnight by the time she got home.

The lights in the living room were on. Zachary was on the ground floor handling some work. The sound of his typing wasn't loud, but it echoed in the spacious room.

Things had gotten ugly that evening. Logically, the two of them should have immediately clashed over the bracelet the moment they saw each other, ending in another explosive fight.

Winona almost had the illusion that Zachary had avoided his study specifically to wait here and argue with her.

He should have known she loved using these incidents as fuel for her anger.
