CHAPTER_DETAIL_H1

An outsider might not understand what cash flow meant to a business, but having been involved in the company's operations years ago, Victoria knew exactly how crucial it was. Most companies operated on debt, and a healthy cash flow was a rarity. Yet Vincent had just blown through almost all their available cash in one breath.

Victoria paced anxiously until she heard the door open, followed by Sean walking into the house.

Seeing him was like seeing a savior. She exhaled a massive sigh of relief and rushed over. "Sean, you're back!"

Her voice trembled with joy, her eyes turning red. "I know what I said yesterday was completely out of line, and I apologize. I was just so frantic over the mess your brother made. Please don't hold it against your mother, okay?"

She stepped closer, genuinely feeling guilty toward her eldest son. "I know you're a cop and you despise the dirty tactics in our circle. I've tried my best not to bother you all these years, as long as you were living a good life. But I simply couldn't stand by and watch your brother go down. I'm sorry, Sean. I ignored your feelings yesterday."

Victoria did love her eldest son; she just loved her youngest son much, much more.

Seeing her act so cautiously around him immediately brought Winona's words to Sean's mind.

He glanced at Vincent, who was sitting stiffly on the sofa. Vincent scowled. "Instead of coming up with ideas to help your brother, you're picking fights with your family at a time like this? What did I tell you before? I sent you to the military so you could protect your brother in the future. And what do you do? You hand over evidence against him!"

Sean took a deep breath, his voice terrifyingly calm. "I have a high-ranking friend in the government. He has a lot of pull."

Victoria's eyes lit up. She grabbed his arm tightly. "Does that mean he can help Wesley?"

But as soon as she asked, worry washed over her face. "Will it negatively affect you, Sean? If it ruins your career, forget it. Your father and I will find another way."
