Too Soft–Hearted 

There were always diverse viewpoints during their discussions. Nevertheless, once William made a decision, there was no room for further disagreement. Everyone was expected to give their hill commitment 

It was uncertain whether the Cloudex Corporation was excessively swift, or the Filo Group was too slow in their actions. But by the end of the trading day on Friday, the Cloudex Corporation had acquired 35% of SAM’s shares in total, making them the winners. 

In this situation, unless the File Group could somehow wrestle shares from the hands of those speculators or convince SAM’s shareholders to sell their shares, surpassing the Cloudex Corporation would be impossible 

On the following Monday, at SAM’s shareholders‘ meeting, SAM would officially become part of Cloudex Corporation. 

Even Wesley had advised Emelie, “It would be wise to sell SAM’s shares now while their stock price is still high. Even if you can only recoup a portion of your investment, it’s better than nothing. Otherwise, once the deal is finalized on Monday, SAM’s stock price will plummet, leaving you with nothing but a huge debt.” 

During the twelve days face–off, the Filo Group had maintained a low profile and carefully observed the situation. 

If Emelie managed to acquire SAM, they would fulfill their promise of reimbursing her for the money she had wagered with the investment banks and the funds she had spent buying shares during this period 

However, if

she talled, they would disassociate themselves with her. They would say that she was not affiliated with the Filo Group and that her actions were independent of them If that happened, Emelie would need to fork out tens of millions of dollars herself. 

Emelte responded, “I cannot afford to sell, even at a loss.” 

Those who were salt–hearted could not be a stem teacher. 

Wesley said, “That’s not the case. You are worth far more than SAM. It was unreasonable of me to give you such a huge project as your first real–world challenge. Don’t worry, Even if you fall to acquire SAM, you won’t need to bear the debt.” 

Wesley was malong lemon tea. He poured boiling water into the teapot. Amidst the rising steam, he appeared refined and handsome, like a prince. 

His sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, revealing his fair skin. It made the veins on the back of his hands stand out. 

He placed a cup of tea in front of her. “Since you used my name as a guarantee, twill naturally assume responsibility for the debt.” 

Emelie chuckled. “If a teacher isn’t strict, how can a student expect to succeed?” 

Wesley raised an eyebrow. “Are you implying that if you lose, it’s also my fault?” 

Emelie picked up the teacup and blinked innocently. 

To Wesley, it seemed like she was being coquettish. In that case, what else could he sing 

“Alright, it’s my fault. By the way, I promised to introduce you to my mother once I recovered. Coincidentally, 

Saturday. So, I’ll take you to see her,” he said. 

“You’re just trying to distract me from the loss of SAM by bringing me out for some fresh air,” Emelie sald. Otherwise, why choose today of all days? And the casual mention of “coincidentally Saturday” suggested that his working time wasn’t flexible, which was not the case. 

Wesley didn’t say anything and stood up. He effortlessly pulled her to her feet, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “You talk too much. Let’s go.” 

Wesley’s mother, also known as “Mrs. Morales“, lived in the Filo Residence. The journey from the Denning Residence to there took an hour and a half by car. 

They were an aristocratic Faldorian family that had existed for over two centuries. Wesley’s great–grandfather’s wife was Cedonian, and she gave birth to a daughter, Amelia, who inherited the Filo family legacy 

Over time, the Filo family’s fortunes declined, and the family was almost wiped out. However, Amelia’s legendary abilities and resourcefulness revitalized the Filo tamily. 

As a result, the entire Filo family held her in the highest regard, acknowledging her status, competence, and invaluable contributions. When she was leading the family, no one dared to challenge her authority, Property © of .

Her husband was also Cedonian, and they had a daughter named Yennifer Filo. She was Wesley’s mother. 

Unlike her mother, Yennifer was flamboyant, unruly, and possessed a love for koury and pleasure. She was rebellious and lacked her mother’s talents. She even defied her mother’s wishes by marrying a Cedonian man, Logan Graham. 

The Filo family did not approve of this marriage. As expected, they ended up divorcing after trying to keep the marriage afloat for a decade. 

After her divorce, Yennider returned to the Filo family. But the family ostracized her due to the mistakes she had made in the p 

past 

However, Amelia loved her daughter. Since she had absolute authority, she bequeathed the Filo family to her grandson, Wesley, before her death. 

Upon heating this, Emelie could guess the remaining details. “The Filo family was displeased with your mother, and hence you. Therefore, despite Mrs. Denning’s wishes, it must have been challenging for you to inherit the Filo family, right?” 

Wesley smiled wryly. “Regardless of the difficulties, I am the rightful heit. If they are unhappy, they can attempt to take it from me.”
