Senior Howard turned to the side to look at Thomas. He paused, but it was evident he had something
to say.
After a while, he sighed heavily. “You’ll…find out what Joshua has said to me sooner or later. Actually, if
you want to inherit the family’s property, you don’t have to find Joshua since it’s our family business…
But, it’s good that you get him here. At least, you let me understand something…”
He extended his hand and gently placed it on his injured abdomen.
“I’m still physically frail now. Once I feel better, we can proceed with the transfer procedure. You’re
right. Half of the Howard Group’s wealth was earned by your mother with her sweat and blood. It
shouldn’t be given to outsiders.”
Thomas furrowed his brow. “What’s gotten into you?”
This was unlike his father’s typical behavior. Every time his father saw him, his father would be
infuriated and scold him for not being accomplished, wanting him to leave his sight as soon as
possible. It was unlike him to admit that he was wrong and was sorry to his mother. What kind of curse
had Joshua cast upon his father?
“Joshua Lynch…” Senior Howard sighed. “He can see further and more than me. Maybe I’m really
getting old.”
After complimenting Joshua, he looked at Thomas. “You’ll need to learn more from Joshua, but you
have to keep your promise.
“After I pass everything to you, you need to give him the evidence of how your aunt passed away. He’s
here because of his family too. He’s a pitiful man… If I’m not around in the future, I’ll be less worried
knowing he’s around to take care of you.”
Thomas furrowed his brow vehemently as he impatiently listened to what his father said. He was so
clueless. “Since you refused to tell me what Joshua said to you, I’ll ask him later.”
He then glanced at his father coldly. “Are you lying to me when you say you are giving me Howard
Group?”
“Of course not.” Senior Howard smiled. “You are my son; why can’t I give it to you? Of course…”
He paused. “You must remember to be filial to me and not dump me after I give it to you. Also, you’ll
have to bring Riley to see me.”
Thomas cocked up his head and wanted to reject this, but he saw his father’s gray hair at the
sideburns.
He could not bring himself to say those gruesome words. It had been years since he talked to his father
so privately like this.
If he did not accidentally shoot his father, it was impossible for him to come to see his father and be so
close to him. Now that he looked at his father, he noticed that the old geezer…was really getting old.
He paused and stared at Senior Howard. “You want me to take Riley to come to see you? Why don’t
you wait for Dan to get married and have kids to see your grandchild?”
All these years, Senior Howard had been preferring Tina and Dan. He had never put in thoughts on
Thomas. Why was Senior Howard trying to be a good father to him and requesting him to bring Riley to
see him all of a sudden? Was he worthy of being Riley’s grandfather?
As Thomas brought up Dan’s name, Senior Howard’s face changed instantly.
After much consideration, he sighed. “Once I pass everything to you…I’ll let Tina and Dan leave the
house.”
Thomas furrowed his brow vehemently.
‘Has this old geezer really changed? What magic did Joshua use?‘ he thought.
