"Eric, come in with me."

The old lady's face had never been as serious as it was at this moment. She looked at the men and women in the room, and it looked like none of them could hold up their heads.

She knew the little thoughts of the eldest and second eldest brothers, but she did not interfere. She also wanted to let them see how cold the world is. If they just live in an ivory tower, they will be stepping stones under other people's feet all their lives.

Eric obediently followed the old lady into the house. The narrow room had already made him feel a little breathless, not to mention that there were so many people gathered in the living room.

"Didn't Mr. Wilson want to see you?"

Hearing this, Eric felt a chill in his heart.

He had tried every possible way these days, but he couldn't even get through the gate of the manor, let alone see old man Wilson.

The servants who usually bowed and scraped to him now looked rude and disrespectful. He was Master Eric, how dare these people?

“Grandma, it’s just that old man Wilson hasn’t come back yet. When he comes back, I believe he will come to see me.”

Eric said eagerly.

He didn't know why he revealed all this, maybe deep down, he wanted to make himself feel more at ease.

"After so many years, even a puppy would develop feelings for it, not to mention you being by his side all the time. But Eric, do you think such a bond can last?"

The old lady's words were deafening.

Eric had never considered this question before. Back then, he was a guest of honor in the Wilson family, deeply respected and loved by the old man. He might not have much say in matters of real power, but even so, it ensured the longevity of his family and his.

But this sudden change made Eric realize that all the love he had received was just a fantasy.

Mr. Wilson could give these things to him, so he could naturally take them away. Just like now, there was no room for easing.

"I know what you mean, Grandma. I can't always rely on the Wilson family, but the most urgent thing now is how we can survive under the pursuit of Andy and Anna."

The old lady smiled gently, a look of ease appearing on her face.

"Silly child, do you really think the Wilson family can cover the sky with one hand?"

Eric suddenly raised his head and looked at his grandmother in front of him, as if something had appeared that he didn't understand.

"The Wilson family does have many outstanding leaders, and the valuable legacy left by their ancestors is the reason for their continued prosperity. However, wherever there are people, there will inevitably be trouble, and the Wilson family is no exception."

This was a secret of the Wilson family, and every member of the Wilson family had promised to keep it secret. But now that the old lady herself was in trouble, how could she care about these promises?

"Every generation of brilliant young people are sent to various places to gain experience, just like raising insects. The current elder of the Wilson family was the winner back then, and you have seen his ability and skills."

Raise Gu?

This was the first time Eric had heard the word.

In his impression, the Wilson family was a very harmonious family, and they especially valued kinship. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yu Zhi to suddenly appear and change his entire life.

Even Andy and Anna, who grew up together and despite many setbacks, could at least be considered childhood sweethearts, couldn't even compare to the affection they felt for Yu Zhi when they first met.

“Mr. Wilson abolished this plan immediately after he came to power, but he himself was a product of this plan.”

"But grandma, what does this have to do with our current predicament?"

Eric was a little confused. Since the plan had been scrapped, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he knew about it.

"It's true that there's no fratricide now, but the one who lost to Old Man Wilson is also a child of destiny."

A trace of nostalgia flashed in the old lady's eyes.

Now almost everyone in the Wilson family was very secretive about this person, especially not daring to mention this name in front of the old man. She lived under the tyranny of the Wilson family and could only secretly miss him in her mind.

He was also an S-class Alpha, strong, confident and suave, but no little girl could escape his charming eyes, not even the old lady.

But as a cousin of the same family, the old lady was well aware of the gap between herself and him. Moreover, how could she be worthy of such an outstanding person?

"Grandma, who is this person you are talking about?"

"Alex Wilson, no, maybe I should call him Alex Hashem now."

Eric had never heard of the name Alex Wilson, but the Hashemite family name had become very well-known recently.

This is a recently emerging aristocracy with a very powerful family. They are aristocrats from the Middle East who moved to Europe to expand their market.

As soon as it entered the European market, it took 40% of the market share of daily necessities with thundering means, squeezing out many small companies.

If Eric remembered correctly, there was even a time when the Wilson family was very annoyed by this family.

But after all, the Wilson family is an old aristocratic family, and their foundation in Europe is not comparable to these emerging aristocrats. Especially in terms of the audience, they have already built a powerful empire.

I heard that the Hashemite family is trying to make a breakthrough recently, but no one has been optimistic about it.

"Grandma, are you saying that you know the steward of the Hasim family? And there is a deep hatred between this steward and Mr. Wilson?"

The old lady nodded.

Over the years, she has been relying on the Wilson family's wings. It can be said that every branch of the Wilson family does the same.

Back then, she watched Alex leave and go far away without a trace. The helplessness and cowardice made her extremely disgusted with herself.

In fact, regarding Yu Zhi, on the one hand, she did want to help Eric regain his footing and win the favor of Mr. Wilson, but on the other hand, she also wanted Mr. Wilson to taste the pain of losing the one he loved.

Those who are high and mighty will never understand how heartbreaking it is to lose someone important to you.

But now the plan has failed, but she is unwilling to accept it.

The old lady glanced at Eric and sighed slightly.

It's because these people in the family are unreliable. If you want to help the Hashemite family gain a foothold in Europe, you must tear a piece of meat from old man Wilson.

Although the old man is unwilling to see Eric now, if the situation eases one day and Eric successfully breaks into the Wilson family, then it will be the moment for the Hashemite family and their family to make a comeback.

"Eric, the fate of our entire family is on your shoulders. Now only you can restore our family to glory."

As soon as these words came out, Eric immediately understood what the old lady meant.

In fact, he was a little conflicted in his heart, but when he thought about the old man's completely different attitude towards him and Louis, these conflicts disappeared.

For so many years, he really treated the old man as his own grandfather, but the old man didn't think so.

Is it possible that they are really treating him like a dog?

Eric's expression became more and more sinister. The repression he had endured during this period of time caused him to burst out with endless malice.

"I'll do whatever you say, Grandma."

"Now that you've made your decision, come with me to meet Alex Hashem tonight."

That night, countless lights are twinkling, illuminating this city that never sleeps.

Eric and the old lady got out of the cheap taxi and walked into the magnificent hotel.

Eric used to go to places like this at will. For rich people like them, low-end consumption like eating out was just a drop in the bucket.

Delicious food, excellent service, and most importantly, a grand venue, these are just their social tools.

But now Eric stood in front of the hotel, and suddenly felt insignificant. You know, all the money he had on him might not even be enough to have a meal here.

Such a gap made his eyes flash with deeper anger.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think you two can afford to eat in our restaurant right now."

Before Eric and the old lady entered the hall, they were stopped by the waiter in front.

When it comes to who can get first-hand information about wealthy families, of course, these staff members who have worked hard at the bottom are indispensable.

This hotel was a place frequented by the nobility, and almost all the matters between the wealthy families would be circulated here. Therefore, these staff members had grasped the dynamics of all the wealthy families intentionally or unintentionally.

The news that they had just moved out of their villa yesterday and were driven away without taking anything with them had already reached the ears of these waiters today.

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. You don't think we don't even have money for a meal, do you?"

Eric tried to save face, his face flushed red with anger.

"Normally, the first step to entering our hotel is to verify your assets. Master Eric didn't know this before, after all, you are a guest of honor of the Wilson family, but now, you may need to show your credentials."

Verifying assets? What a funny thing.

This was the first time Eric heard of such a rule in this hotel.

"We are invited here today, so you'd better be careful about what you do."

The old lady has always looked down on these inferior people, especially those who show off their power but have no real ability. She doesn't even bother to look at them.

"Since you said you were invited, then show us the invitation or have that person come down to pick you up."

This waiter was unshakable, and Eric always felt that there was a hint of sarcasm under his standard smile.

He didn't know how his grandmother communicated with Alex Hashem, but if they wanted to bypass the Wilson family's eagle eyes in this city, they absolutely could not make contact in a high-profile manner now.

The old lady frowned and gripped the cane tightly in her hand.

She finally managed to glance up at the waiter's face, secretly thinking that she must get their boss to fire this rude guy.

Just when Eric and the old lady were in a dilemma, a young man in a suit and tie suddenly came down from upstairs.

He wore a warm smile, a well-tailored suit, and his every move resembled the demeanor of a nobleman. However, Eric and the old lady could tell at a glance that he was definitely not a born aristocrat, but rather someone who had been mechanically cultivated.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've already prepared the food and drinks, but I just remembered I forgot to send out the invitations. Please bear with me."

The man walked up to the old lady in a somewhat flattering manner and took her arm.

That attentive look made the doorman's eyes widen. He must have been thinking, how could someone do this when this family has fallen on hard times? Could it be that something unexpected has happened that he's unaware of?

Thinking of this, the waiter's head was covered in cold sweat. He did this just now because he heard that this family had offended the Wilson family and must not have a good end.

He wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation to show off in front of the Wilson family. Who knows, it might give him a chance to rise to prominence.

But looking at the situation now, he may have hit a wall first.
