Observing Marcus’ expression, Waylen instantly sensed that something significant was happening. He neatly stored away the chess pieces and, with a gentle smile, remarked, “Misael, let’s resume our game another time!”
The companion, understanding the context, offered a smile and rose from his seat. “It appears Marcus has pressing matters to discuss. I shall take my leave.”
Despite the urgency, Marcus courteously accompanied his father’s guest down the stairs.
In the study, Waylen had already set out two cups of tea. Inviting his son to take a seat, he inquired, “What brings you here in such haste, Marcus?
This urgency is uncommon for you.”
Marcus settled into his seat with deliberation.
After a moment of contemplation, he began cautiously, “Dad, are you familiar with Genesis Investment?”
Waylen was indeed acquainted with it.
It functioned as an investment firm under Leonel’s purview.
Marcus lapsed into a thoughtful silence before continuing in hushed tones,
“Within a mere two months, Genesis has amassed a substantial capital influx, predominantly from overseas. Presently, they are venturing into investments across numerous companies in Duefron.”
Waylen took a delicate sip of his tea.

After a pause, he raised his gaze to his son and inquired, “Does their significant growth concern you?”
“Dad! They already have surpassed that threshold!”
Waylen placed his cup on the table and remarked, “Marcus, you’re not someone who easily succumbs to the success of others. Is your concern rooted in Genesis Investment potentially overshadowing Fowler Group in scale?”
Marcus expressed with gravity, “Typically, having an entity like Genesis Investment would be advantageous for us. As they say, four legs are more stable than two. However, Leonel is taking it too far now. His actions are becoming increasingly impulsive, and I’m uncertain about his motives, but this is far from normal.”
Waylen’s countenance grew solemn.
After a brief pause, he inquired, “Are you implying that he’s doing it for Alexis?”
Marcus refrained from verbalizing a response, but his silence spoke volumes.
Waylen, too, maintained a prolonged silence before speaking in a soft tone,
“I comprehend.”
Marcus swallowed hard, his eyes narrowing. “I foresee Edwin as the first to suffer! He’s in a fierce battle with the Smith family, and given the alliance between the Fowler and Evans families, no one in Duefron dares to intervene. However, Leonel is a different matter. He desires a connection with my sister, and he will undoubtedly exploit this situation. With Leonel wielding such substantial capital, a subtle maneuver behind the Smith family is all it takes, rendering all of Edwin’s endeavors in the past six months futile. If we wish to prevent Edwin’s downfall, the Fowler family must step in to support him, or at least Alexis will have to do something.”
Waylen chuckled. “You’re genuinely strategizing for his benefit!”
Being the parent, he remained composed.
