Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 309

Keith split from Sunnyglade Abbey, rolling out with a bunch of bodyguards and heading straight for the Dewey family.

The Deweys were big shots back when Janice was just a kid.

But, three months into Janice's marriage, the Dewey parents and their two sons, along with a daughter-in-law, decided to take a trip abroad and ended up in a plane crash. From then on, all that was left of the Deweys was married Janice and her brother's wife.

The brother's wife had been home pregnant, so she didn't join the family trip and dodged the bullet.

The whole ordeal almost crushed her and Janice.

With the support and encouragement of their family, she managed to pull herself together.

Five months later, she gave birth to her late husband's son, Hayes Brooks. She took over the Dewey business, but she was out of her depth, and the Dewey reputation never bounced back.

When Janice's daughter Lucinda Blue was taken by a rival, Janice spiraled into madness out of guilt and grief for her daughter, and the Dewey business went down the drain even more.

Everyone started to think the Deweys had gone belly up.

Especially in the first few years after Nathan's daughter was taken, he was too busy looking for her and left the company to his two brothers. When the brothers took over, they did everything they could to help the Blue family.

Their cooperation with the Deweys was either put on ice, or their orders were massively reduced, making things even harder for the Dewey group.

It wasn't until Nathan gave up hope of finding his daughter that his attention returned to the company, and he took back control. By then, the cooperation between the Blue family and the Dewey group had been cut off by the Hayden brothers.

Nathan gave his brothers a good dressing-down, cleaned out their people from Blue Corporation, stripped the brothers of their positions, and resumed cooperation with the Dewey group.

That was what kept the Dewey group afloat until now.

But Janice's brother's wife didn't live to see Hayes come of age. She passed away when Hayes was only 14. This left only Hayes and the mentally unstable Janice in the Dewey family.

Hayes took over the Dewey group at 14. But what could a junior high school student do in the business world?

Nathan hired a professional manager to handle company affairs, and whenever he had time, he would let Hayes and Keith learn the ropes together.

Even though Nathan and his son didn't get along. He always educated his son himself, fearing others would lead him astray.

To the folks at Skywatch, if it weren't for Nathan, the Dewey family would've gone under a long time ago.

So, no one took the Dewey family seriously.

Keith and his cousin were tight. When he got to the Dewey family, Keith didn't wait for a servant to open the door. He used his own key and drove right in.

He barely parked the car when Hayes stepped out of the house.

"Why'd you come out? You just got out of the hospital, and you should be resting. I have a key; I can let myself in."

After getting out of the car, Keith walked towards Hayes.

"Once I heard about Lucy, I wanted to go, but I just had my appendix out. I couldn't. And when everyone went, it was all so rushed. By the time I got the news, it was already dawn." Hayes felt really bad for Janice and his cousins. He still hadn't seen his cousin to this day.

"Your health is the most important thing; I already told Lucy about your situation. Lucy's a really kind girl; she won't mind any of this."

Keith tried to help Hayes into the house, but Hayes refused.

"Did you have another fight with your dad?"
