Chapter 323
In the main hall, Jonah, Silas, and the properly dressed Cyrus welcomed Victor and his
second son into their home, with Mandy and Colene by their side.
“Jonah, Silas! You both seem to grow more handsome with each passing day! Oh, pardon
me, I should address you as the president and the prosecutor now!”
“Mandy, is this your youngest son? I remember him being a mischievous and adorable
little boy the last time we met. He has grown into such a handsome young man! What is
he working as?” Victor Schmidt, the chairman of the Schmidt Group, exchanged hearty
handshakes with all the Taylor siblings.
“I’m a policeman. I’m working in the Criminal Investigation Unit,” Cyrus answered.
“Oh, you joined the police force?” Victor’s eyes flickered with surprise. To him, being a
police officer was one of the least desirable positions, given the comparatively low pay
and the inherent risks associated with the job.
More importantly, the career progression was limited. The best Cyrus could do was to
become a Superintendent in Chief, which paled in comparison to inheriting the family
business.
“Yeah, that’s Cyrus for you,” Mandy said, looking somewhat embarrassed. In truth, Cyrus’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchoice of profession had been a source of concern for her.
Out of all the wives, Mandy came from the wealthiest family. While she had no intention of
competing for a share of the Taylor Group’s assets, she had been raised to place great
importance on family honor.
Naturally, she had high expectations for her children and hoped they would excel in their
chosen fields.
Unfortunately, Cyrus was pursuing a career in a different direction than the one she had
hoped for. He was determined to be a police officer, deviating from the career path she
had envisioned. This weighed heavily on her mind.
“Mandy, you shouldn’t underplay Cyrus’ achievements! He’s received several awards and
solved major
cases at the young age of 27. He’s a source of pride for the Solana City Police
Department,” Colene
chimed in.
“Yeah! He’s also the chief of the First Criminal Investigation Division in the city and the
youngest in the
department’s history!” Silas added, not wanting the Schmidts to look down on his
accomplished seventh
brother.
“Haha! He’s indeed young and successful!” Victor conceded.
Meanwhile, Cyrus was happy to receive praise from his family, even more so than when he

“Victor! Gosh-” Winston approached the Schmidts with Lyla and Neil. He looked a little
abashed. “I thought you had lost touch because of some health issues that needed
attention.”
“Ah, the pot calling the kettle black!” Victor playfully ribbed Winston, stepping closer. “I

“You were always so eager about horseback riding, willing to drop anything to challenge
me,” Winston quipped, a mischievous glint in his eye.
He continued, “I couldn’t help but wonder if you declined because you couldn’t mount a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhorse anymore due to old age. Perhaps you were worried about becoming a laughing
stock.”
“That’s an unnecessary concern. I’m still hardy!” Grinning naughtily, Winston remained as
conceited at the ripe old age of 60. “When we’re both in a nursing home, I’ll be the one
who pushes you around. Just wait!”
Everyone giggled at their playful banter, just like they had for years.
Victor had donned a sharp four-piece suit for the occasion, featuring a dark grey shirt
paired with a refreshing silver-grey dotted tie.
To his disappointment, Winston had not opted for a suit. Instead, he sported a white
athleisure outfit adorned with expensive embroidered patterns, looking casual and cool.
With no sign of grey hair or a hunched back, Winston looked the same as he had two
decades ago, much to Victor’s chagrin.
Both men had always placed great importance on their appearance, diligently maintaining
their wardrobes and skincare routines since their youth. They continued this friendly
rivalry for two decades
with no end in sight.
