Agnes endured the gnevance in her heart and told the whole story. After hearing the story, Kerri
couldn’t believe it: “It’s too much for him to doubt you and Ryder What’s wrong with him?”
Having it all out in the open, Agnes felt a lot better
But she was disappointed, and she fell on the sofa and didn’t want to move: “Men are not reliable. Kerri
also said: “There is no good man in the world” “Exactly” Brayden had just changed and passed by the
door of the guest room. The door was ajar, and he happened to overhear their conversation.

Upon opening the door, Brayden saw Jared standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his back turned,
looking lonely.
Brayden strolled over, plonked himself down in Jared’s office chair, tossed his car keys on the desk,
spun the chair around and sighed, “Being the boss is no picnic. Working late into the night, it’s not as
cushy as my life”
Jared turned around at this, glanced at Brayden, and said dryly. “Your carefree days are numbered. I
hear your brother is thriving at the Simonds Group. Has Madeleine Simonds taken a liking to him? Just
wait, soon enough you’ll be called to work at the Simonds Group.”
The Simonds family might not have many heirs, but their connections were complex
Madeleine, a widow from a young age, single-handedly managed the massive Simonds Group.
She had one son, Jadeon Simonds
However, Jadeon fell for a divorcee with a child, Lavinia.
After much dispute with Madeleine, he finally married Lavinia and brought along her child.
Raised in the Simonds family, the child changed his name to Kent Simonds under Jadeon’s guidance.
He’s Brayden’s half-brother, five years his senior, but not related by blood to the Simonds family

working at the company
Brayden was getting pretty fed up.

Jared hit a nerve with his comment. Feeling a bit awkward, Brayden said, “I think it’s good to let him run
the company. He’s the one who’s hard working, and he’s willing to. I just need those shares, getting
dividends every year How comfortable this kind of life is! Madeleine just dislikes r me. She forced me to
start a family before, now pushing me to inherit the family business. She doesn’t know what my dreams
are”
“What’s your dream?”
“To be a man of leisure.”
Jared was speechless
