Senior Howard turned to the side to look at Thomas. He paused, but it was evident he had something to say.
After a while, he sighed heavily. "You'll…find out what Joshua has said to me sooner or later. Actually, if you want to inherit the family's property, you don't have to find Joshua since it's our family business… But, it's good that you get him here. At least, you let me understand something…"
He extended his hand and gently placed it on his injured abdomen.
"I'm still physically frail now. Once I feel better, we can proceed with the transfer procedure. You're right. Half of the Howard Group's wealth was earned by your mother with her sweat and blood. It shouldn't be given to outsiders."
Thomas furrowed his brow. "What's gotten into you?"
This was unlike his father's typical behavior. Every time his father saw him, his father would be infuriated and scold him for not being accomplished, wanting him to leave his sight as soon as possible. It was unlike him to admit that he was wrong and was sorry to his mother. What kind of curse had Joshua cast upon his father?
"Joshua Lynch…" Senior Howard sighed. "He can see further and more than me. Maybe I'm really getting old."
After complimenting Joshua, he looked at Thomas. "You'll need to learn more from Joshua, but you have to keep your promise.
"After I pass everything to you, you need to give him the evidence of how your aunt passed away. He's here because of his family too. He's a pitiful man… If I'm not around in the future, I'll be less worried knowing he's around to take care of you."
Thomas furrowed his brow vehemently as he impatiently listened to what his father said. He was so clueless. "Since you refused to tell me what Joshua said to you, I'll ask him later."
He then glanced at his father coldly. "Are you lying to me when you say you are giving me Howard Group?"
