Aida walked in with a smile and nodded at Floyd in greeting.
"Good morning, Dad!"
Floyd nodded. His expression eased a lot. "You’re here! You're much more understanding than Grant. It’s such a big day, but he’s not even here yet!"

Some people were jealous that my father single-handedly built such a big empire and deliberately isolated him in the business circle, saying that his level of education is too low..."
