Matthew’s fury only grew when his hand was stopped mid–air. “Who dares stick their nose where it doesn’t belong-”
But when Dylan’s face came into view, Matthew’s expression changed in an instant, replaced with a flattering smile. “Ah, Dylan, what brings you here?”
Even though Dylan was younger, Matthew made sure to show him the proper respect. The Wright and Harlow families were considered the two titans of the North and South, and while outsiders saw them as equals, Matthew knew there was a subtle gap between them.
When Dylan took over the Wright family, many doubted him–Matthew included. After all, he was just a young upstart. Sure, he had potential, but there was no way he could become a real force to be reckoned with.
But time proved them all wrong. In just five short years, Dylan had elevated the Wright Corporation to match the Harlow family’s standing. In recent years, it was clear the Wrights were even on the verge of surpassing them.
Dylan released Matthew’s wrist and said, “I saw the news this morning and grew concerned about your health, Mr. Matthew. I thought I’d come by and check on you.
As he spoke, his sharp eyes shifted between Julian, still on the floor, and Claude, seated in his wheelchair. “Mr. Matthew, this is your family matter, and I shouldn’t interfere, but there are some things I simply can’t ignore.”
Julian’s heart sank the moment he met Dylan’s gaze. He had no idea why Dylan was here, but his instincts told him it didn’t bode well for him.
Scrambling to his feet before his father could respond, Julian spoke up. “Mr. Wright, as you said, this is our family business. You’re a busy man, and there’s no need for you to concern yourself with our internal matters.”
“Mr. Matthew, is that how you feel as well?” Dylan chuckled softly. “If you were to think the same, then I’d apologize for overstepping.”
Matthew glared at Julian before turning back to Dylan. “Go ahead, say to. We may not be related by blood, but over the years, you’ve been li family, so speak freely.”

The timing of Dylan’s arrival was too perfect for it to be a coincidence. This situation. clearly involved him somehow, though Matthew wasn’t sure how. His gaze flicked briefly toward Claude, still unsure what role he might have in all of this.
“Since you insist, I won’t hold back,” Dylan replied, a slight smile playing on his lips as he motioned for Desmond, standing behind him, to step forward.
Desmond quickly stepped forward, handing a brown envelope to Matthew. “Mr. Matthew,

Mr. Wright, couldn’t bear to see you, at your age, still kept in the dark about certain things. He had me conduct an investigation–please take a look.”
Matthew took the envelope, and as he skimmed through its contents, he nearly collapsed from shock.
Claude, seeing his father about to fall, wheeled himself forward quickly and caught him

Once he regained his balance, Matthew stormed over to Julian and hurled the documents. in his face. “Julian, you’ve really outdone yourself.”
The damning evidence, written in black and white, caused Julian’s face to turn pale, his eyes filled with panic. But the panic lasted only a second before he quickly shifted his tone, reverting to his usual tactics. “Dad, it wasn’t me. I didn’t kill my youngest brother–I loved him! How could I ever do such a thing? It was Claude! This is all his doing!”

Julian lunged at Claude, grabbing him by the collar. “You crippled bastard! It wasn’t enough for you to kill our brother now you’re trying to take me down too? And to top off, you somehow managed to get Mr. Wright on your side to help you with this scheme?”
Desmond stepped in calmly, his voice firm. “Mr. Julian, you’re mistaken. My boss didn’t do this for Claude. He did it out of concern for Mr. Matthew.”
