In the private room 204 at the Brookhaven Resort, located opposite the Brookhaven Club, Vera ordered a feast of seafood.
The table was laden with various dishes, but the group remained silent, each lost in thoughts.
The issues surrounding Annie's family were weighing heavily on their minds.
Meeting Annie's biological parents was like swallowing a rotten fly-disgusting and unsettling.
Despite the delicious spread before them, they were unappetizing.
The TV in the corner of the room was broadcasting the news.
The report covered the bankruptcy of Wood Group, a once highly successful company that had been part of the top 500 in the country.
Catherine watched the news and broke the silence. "Did you know? The Lynches, one of Brighton's five prominent families, used to own Wood Group.
"It was once so prestigious," She continued, "but now it's all fallen apart because of that j*rk, Jamie."
Vera raised an eyebrow, staring at the screen. "Was that the Lynches' company?" She looked more closely." her expression turning disdainful.
"That spoiled brat is going to ruin his family completely."
Catherine nodded and continued, "Before Steven fell ill, his eldest son, Kenneth Lynch, managed their business empire. Wood Group's annual sales were among the top three in the region. "Ohce Steven got sick, the family began to decline," she added.
"In recent years, Kenneth has been running the family business alone, and the total market value of their companies has dropped by more than half.
"The Lynch Group was always more of a name than a true force. It doesn't even come close to the strength of the other prestigious families of Brighton.
"But recently, I've heard rumors in the elite circles of Brighton, Catherine continued, "that the Lynches have come up with a new strategy to save themselves. They're trying to revive the Lynch Group." "Save them?" Vera raised her eyebrows, intrigued.
The Lynches were once so powerful, but now seemed to be sinking deeper into decay.
Not long ago, Jamie had strutted into Harmonfield, exuding the same arrogance as always, as if the Lynches were still as mighty as in their prime.
He had the nerve to claim that Silva Group, which Vera's mother had built, was part of their empire. Even their butler was involved.
They even sent killers to assassinate Vera in an attempt to steal Silva Group's assets.
In reality, the Lynches had fallen so far that they were at a loss for what to do.

"The Lynches are now trying to use their connection with Northlorn Residence to get back on their feet, Catherine explained. "They're hoping a marriage alliance will give them the boost they need, using Northlorn's powerful connections across the country and beyond. She glanced at Robin and added, "Since you took Hendrix down at Springbrooke Private Club, he's been recovering at home, still struggling to regain his full strength. Orson had even planned to ground him for three years to break his bad habits.
When the Lynches heard about this, they sent someone to negotiate with Northlorn, hoping to secure a narriage between Hendrix and one of their daughters," Catherine said.
They think that if Hendrix gets married, maybe he'll mature and stop causing so much trouble.
"I heard this marriage alliance is causing quite a stir in Brighton," she added.
"People are suddenly taking the once-mocked Lynches seriously again. With Northlorn's backing, it looks like they might have a chance to rise again.
Ivy pursed her lips and said, "These rich families really have it tough, don't they? They'll do anything to keep their status.
"Which of the Lynches' daughters is going to marry that little imp from Northlorn?" she asked.
"The Lynches have several daughters around the same age; three of them received their education both abroad and in the country," Catherine shook her head. However, they have not yet revealed which daughter will marry the Chandlers. "Word is, none of the Lynches' daughters want to marry that Imp, Catherine said with a smirk.
"Everyone in Brighton knows how much of a je k he is. Whoever marries him might as well kiss their life goodbye."
Vera chose not to comment further on the Lynches.
The topic was dropped.
The new report on Wood Group had been wrapped up on the TV.
Suddenly, the news feed switched to a live broadcast of Brookhaven TV's legal segment.
Craign, the host, was reporting on a new case concerning Annie's biological parents, who were demanding support for their old age.
Catherine stared at the screen for a while.
"Can you believe it? Annie's biological parents actually brought in the media? How shameless can they get?"
Robin glanced up at the screen.
Apnic's biological parents were seen crying to the reporters, accompanied by a young man-likely their
son.
They were accusing Annie of being ungrateful and neglecting her duty to care for them.

Besides the reporters from Brookhaven TV, several online streaming platforms were also covering the
event
Annie's parents' demands for support in their old age quickly captured the attention of the entire city and even the entire internet.
These old fools are beyond shameless! We should take them out just now!" Catherine fumed, pointing at
the TV.
The host spoke to the camera with deep outrage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we have received a breaking news tip about an elderly couple demanding financial support from their ungrateful daughter. The daughter in question is a top-tier film star.
"Once she came into money, she bought a beautiful house and enjoyed a lavish life all on her own, but she refused to bring her elderly parents to live with her. "These elderly parents, who have modest incomes and are also supporting a son, are struggling to make ends meet. They are asking their daughter for a bit of financial help. "But this wealthy daughter, despite her fortune, refuses to help them. Not only does she refuse to care for them in their old age, but she won't even give them a single penny. "Ladies and gentlemen, our country has always been a society that values respect and honor for our elders. Filial piety is at the core of our values.
"A child who does not honor their parents is not worthy.
"Failing to show filial piety is one of the greatest wrongs in this world.
"Today, we will follow this elderly couple to their daughter's house and see what kind of person this daughter truly is.
"From what I know, this film star makes a considerable income, nearly a million dollars a year.
"With such a high income, she refuses to show any respect to her parents and won't even support her brother with a single penny.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's follow this elderly couple as they visit their daughter. We will ask this celebrity how she could have achieved anything without her parents' support."
Robin furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Looks like this host doesn't deserve the position he's inHow can someone with such unclear values and inadequate ability have a successful career or life? "Taking everything at face value and letting subjective assumptions run wild-he's even worse than Annie's biological parents!"
