“You! I really don’t know what to say! How many times have I warned you about keeping bad company? You never listen!”
Chastened, Edwin stood silently beside her, absorbing her tirade.
Turning to Bainbridge, Tinsley continued, “And you, falsely accusing Hannah? You’re clearly prejudiced against her. I think she’s in the right here.”
Knowing he was in the wrong, Bainbridge stayed silent.
Dismissing them, Tinsley gestured.
“Enough. You two stay down here and think about what you’ve done. Jalen, Hannah, come upstairs with me.
Grasping Tinsley’s arm, Hannah offered, “Grandma, let me assist you.”
“Very well.”
Upon reaching the upstairs, Tinsley handed over Byrum’s will to Hannah and Jalen.
“I can’t predict when your grandfathers will regain consciousness.
This is Byrum’s will. He wanted half of the estate to go to your mother, meaning you, Hannah. He even had it privately notarized, anticipating controversy. Take these documents.”
Tinsley then looked at Jalen.
“You’re good-hearted and clever, but you’re too soft. That won’t do for running the company.”

Acknowledging his grandma’s words, Jalen offered a sheepish smile.
“Grandma, I’ve always known business isn’t for me. Hannah is more capable of leading the White family enterprises. I’d rather focus on my art exhibitions.”
Tinsley wasn’t shocked by Jalen’s admission. She finally relented.
“If your grandfather wakes up, you can talk it over with him. But the White Group is in dire straits. You both need to work on turning things around.”
Wrapping up, Tinsley turned to Hannah.
“I’ve heard Brewster from the Perry family is interested in partnering with us. Is that correct?”
“That’s right. The Perry Group is open to buying the flawed machines the White Group had initially gotten. It’s a cost-effective and eco- friendly solution.”
Tinsley nodded in agreement.
“That’s a brilliant plan, Hannah. You remind me of your grandfather when you handle business matters.”
Hannah considered refuting the comparison but held back to keep Tinsley content. She merely offered a quiet smile.
“Hannah’s knack for business shone at the board meeting. Despite the pushback, she won everyone over.”
