Johan said, "It pains my heart to see Flynt like this. But now that things had come to this, have him look after our businesses in the countryside. He can recuperate there in the meantime. Tell him to come back when he recovers; I have other arrangements for him."
Elina was stunned for a moment before she thanked him, "Thank you for thinking of Flynt, Old Master. Our businesses in the countryside are never passed to outsiders; I'm sure Flynt will manage them well and not disappoint you further."
"Good that you know. You may leave."
Johan waved his hand, and Elina left. With a murderous look hidden in her eyes as she walked.
That old man, was he getting rid of Flynt now that he was useless to him?
Elina was eager for the old man's death.
However, Elina did not hate Colston. The world was competitive; one would rise when the other had fallen. But she hadn't expected this to be the outcome when she had not only lost her own family, but misfortune even fell upon her two daughters.
Therefore, the person who she hated most was
Johan.
After Elina left, Johan looked at the door and said softly, "Why must both exist? If the two brothers from the Richards family didn't exist, this wouldn't have happened to Flynt. Alas, the child can be too strong-willed sometimes; he doesn't know when to back down. It's good that he's competitive, but it wouldn't do him good if he doesn't know when to give up."
"Unlike Colston."
Johan took family status seriously. If he hadn't been against Flavian's marriage, his son wouldn't hold a grudge against him and even cut ties with him.
Ronard agreed, "You're right, Old Master Johan, but is it really good for Mr. Flynt to go to the countryside in his current state?"
"He is the successor I raised after all. There's no way I can seal his fate, can I? Colston is not like Flynt; Flynt is more obedient, but Coulston is even more difficult to deal with, and this Louisa is a headache."
Ultimately, Johan didn't like Louisa; he would die with a grievance if Louisa stayed. They were no family who would take in just about anyone, let alone an orphan.
Moreover, Colston was a nobody in the family, a concubine's child. What a joke it was to let him actually lead the family.
Johan was quite careful and had long made plans.
"Ronard, go and see what Thorin has been doing lately," Johan whispered.
Receiving his orders, Ronard got busy.
He returned to Johan with the news, "He's talking business with someone."
"He's still doing the flower business?" Johan asked, and Ronard replied with a yes. Johan recalled what happened a few years ago to Thorin. He was a rather obedient child, but he fell in love with a girl in college, and the two lovebirds planned on getting married. However, Johan broke them up and even used his connections to send the girl abroad. Unfortunately, the plane crashed, and she died.
After that, Thorin left home and began working for others. He even said he would never come back.
Later, he started a flower business and had yet to return.
Thorin was the child of the first wife of his second son and the fifth son of his generation.
His mother passed away at an early age, and his father remarried, but regardless, he was still the first wife's son. Moreover, his mother was of a noble family outside of the Capital City.
