“It's time. Let’s eat!”

Milton, seated at the head of the table, abruptly interrupted Kenny.

Kenny's fists clenched and his eyes brimmed with discontent.

Kenny didn’t understand why Milton suddenly favored Delbert and even handed over the Carlson Group to him. Throughout the dinner, Milton engaged in lively conversations with Delbert and Harriet, disregarding those with ulterior motives. After the meal, Milton asked Delbert, “How are you getting along with Harriet?”

Hatred burned in Kenny's eyes as he fixed a cold and sinister gaze upon Delbert.

With Milton absent and Harriet oblivious, he could unleash his frustration upon Delbert without restraint.
