Thea Shaw has already grasped the situation now.

Why Grandpa Ford values Landon Ford so much. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Aside from spoiling his own grandson, it’s because Warren Ford is unreliable, and also because his grandson occasionally plays the sympathy card.

Thea thinks, given Warren Ford’s perspective, he would never imagine his son playing the innocent in front of his grandfather.

No normal person would think of it.

With such scheming...

Landon Ford is both flexible and resourceful.

Hah! Warren Ford’s loss is not unjust at all!!

Throughout the meal, besides Grandpa Ford occasionally giving a simple greeting to Thea, every time Landon interjected, it was like putting Warren Ford on the spot, successfully making Grandpa Ford feel uneasy during the meal. Afterward, Landon began to highlight the good aspects of his work, making Grandpa Ford feel gratified.

With such nuanced tactics, Thea, sitting on the side, could only be filled with admiration.

After finishing the meal, accompanying Grandpa Ford for a walk, today passed quite pleasantly. Grandpa Ford waved his hand and said, "It’s pretty late now, you both should head back."

Landon nodded and said, "Grandpa, we’ll be leaving first, rest early tonight."

"I know."

Grandpa Ford smiled warmly at Thea, "Thea, feel free to visit me often and maybe keep me company playing Go."

Thea agreed immediately, "Sure."

The two left the retirement home, and in the car, Thea gave her opinion on today’s events: "Does your dad know that you play the role of a tea master in front of your grandpa?"

Landon Ford, being a CEO, finds time amidst his heavy workload to occasionally stir things up.

Because he actually knows what a tea master implies.

He just gave a slight smile and said, "You think Grandpa doesn’t understand my intentions?"

Old Mr. Ford founded Ford Enterprises single-handedly back in the day, how could he not hear the sincerity in his grandson’s words?

Thea raised an eyebrow: "Then..."

Landon curled his lips: "Just because my dad really is a good-for-nothing, the more I say, the more my grandpa will sympathize with me."

Since Warren Ford is inherently unreliable, it’s an original sin that can’t be forgiven.

Thea: "..."

The relationship between the father and son is ’good’ in such a distinctive way.

Leaving the retirement home, Landon said, "I’ll take you home."

Even while bracing for her intentions to be possibly misunderstood, Thea still expressed her incredulity: "You actually want to take me home?"

This doesn’t fit Landon’s character!

He’d rather keep Thea around.

Landon’s voice, as lazy as the night breeze, drifted in: "I’d like to keep you, but I have to return to the company, just check the news."

?

During the meal and conversation at the retirement home, Thea respected the elderly and refrained from checking her phone, but she didn’t expect any news to break out.

Thea took out her phone, and without needing to browse any app, since she hadn’t disabled pop-up notifications, several breaking news alerts appeared directly on her screen.

The magnitude of the news can be felt just by glancing at the headlines.

[Vanguard Group General Manager Ryan Sinclair Under Police Investigation! Suspected of bribery, forging evidence, and other illegal acts]

[Shocking! Such an incident at Vanguard Group!]

[Behind Vanguard Group, the Sinclair Family - A Look at Its History]

...

Thea: "..."

After reading the news, she had only one thought.

The master is impressive indeed.

He actually managed to take down Ryan Sinclair?

No wonder Landon has to return to the company; with something like this happening at Vanguard Group, it’s bound to shake the industry.
