Sitting on the sofa, Joseph Lancaster let out a cold laugh as he played with the baby. His son had one redeeming quality: he seemed gentle and easy-going, but in reality, he was quite sharp. He wouldn't hesitate to mock his "dear second uncle," let alone anyone else.
Aurora Lancaster also chuckled lightly. She couldn't stand her cousin Daemon's pretentious behavior, but now everyone kept to themselves behind closed doors, so she didn't bother addressing it.
Daemon Lancaster seemed not to notice his nephew's sarcasm. Leaning forward, he sighed as he absentmindedly fiddled with the teacup, "Ah, it's thanks to Evander and the other son's strength. Now two deals have been successfully negotiated, and after the new year, we'll be busy."
