Mooncrown\u2019s cancellation of the North District development deal with the Bluestone Pack didn\u2019t truly surprise him.<\/p>\n
After all, Luis\u2019s fianc\u00e9e had nearly lost her life at Carey\u2019s 85th birthday gala.<\/p>\n
The fact that Luis hadn\u2019t already tried to bury the Bluestone Pack was, in its way, mercy.<\/p>\n
Carey thought for a moment, then sighed. \u201cForget the North District project. Consider it not our fate. The Bluestone Pack will survive without that profit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerald frowned. \u201cDad, if it were just losing money, we\u2019d swallow it. But do you know what that brat Luis did?<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got word Mooncrown Corporation plans to do the North District deal with our mortal enemy\u2013Sunnypolis Bank!<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve been pressing Bluestone Bank for years. If they land Mooncrown\u2019s North District, they\u2019ll leapfrog us and become Nordvale\u2019s biggest private bank\u2013overnight.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Eaton is all romance\u2013addled! No regard for old ties. Just because of Deanna, he\u2019s targeting<\/p>\n
us on purpose.<\/p>\n
and ar<\/p>\n
\u201cI checked with the hospital\u2013Deanna\u2019s fine. The time in that storeroom was under half an hour. Our nanny already paid with her life. Isn\u2019t that enough?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Off to the side, Victoria flinched as she splashed hot liquid over her hand and flinched.<\/p>\n
Carey glanced at her but said nothing. He looked up just in time to see Jennifer sneaking toward the front door on tiptoe.<\/p>\n
\u201cJenni, where are you going?\u201d Carey said, voice cold.<\/p>\n
Jennifer jolted, turned, dropping her gaze. \u201cGrandpa. I \u2026 made plans to go shopping with a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carey ordered, \u201cBack to your room.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer stamped her foot. \u201cGrandpa! How can you treat me like this? Ever since that woman,<\/p>\n

Deanna, had an \u2018incident\u2018 in our house, you\u2019ve had servants watching me. I haven\u2019t even been allowed past my doorway.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, it wasn\u2019t my fault. The nanny acted on her own to \u2018teach that woman a lesson. What\u2019s it got to do with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Carey\u2019s face darkened.<\/p>\n
Victoria stepped in and crouched beside him. \u201cDad, please\u2013don\u2019t be angry. Jenni\u2019s still Keeping her shut in every day\u2026 she can\u2019t take it.\u201d<\/p>\n
young.<\/p>\n
She turned to Jennifer. \u201cIf you\u2019re going, then go\u2013and be back early. Don\u2019t make your grandfather worry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing Carey offer no further rebuke, Jenni took that as permission, pulled a face, and bolted.<\/p>\n
Moments later, a sports car howled to life outside and vanished down the drive.<\/p>\n
Victoria handed Carey a fresh cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, I know this has you furious. I\u2019ve already scolded Jenni; she knows she was wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe nanny raised her from childhood\u2013she was like half a mother to Jenni. Her intention was\u2026 misguided \u2018care,\u2018 not grasping the consequences. But the woman is dead; talking it to death changes nothing. Better we think clearly about how the Bluestone Pack faces this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carey took a sip and nodded slightly.<\/p>\n
The daughter\u2013in\u2013law had a point: the nanny was dead, and they\u2019d apologized and paid a price. Luis, however, had shown no regard for old ties. Very well\u2013then they\u2019d answer in kind.<\/p>\n
Carey said, \u201cI\u2019m aware Mooncrown\u2019s corporate summit is imminent. Their shareholders are not united. Some want Luis off the throne. Harrison, Gerald\u2013go to the Westwind Pack. Speak with Harry and Grace. Tell them Bluestone Pack is willing to lend a hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerald blinked. \u201cHarry and Grace? Dad, what for?\u201d<\/p>\n
Carey shot him a look. \u201cMr. Eaton soft\u2013confined his grandmother, Mrs. Eaton. The Westwind siblings have been angling to stir the shareholders to make trouble at the summit. They approached me before; I ignored them.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Luis went too far this time\u2013no respect for an old man. I\u2019m forced to strike back.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf this summit knocks Luis down, the Bluestone Pack won\u2019t have to fear him. We might even<\/p>\n

At that, Gerald\u2019s brow finally smoothed. He flashed a thumbs\u2013up. \u201cDad, you\u2019re sharp as ever. My third brother and I will get on it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carey warned. \u201cQuietly. Luis took Mooncrown\u2019s reins and tightened them in a few short years -he\u2019s not to be underestimated. If he stays standing when it\u2019s over, this must not trace back to the Bluestone Pack.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harrison and Gerald nodded in unison. \u201cWe\u2019ll keep it low\u2013key.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carey exhaled a long, weary breath.<\/p>\n
Old friend\u2026<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t wanted this. But your grandson moved first.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t blame me for what comes next.<\/p>\n
