Everyone looked toward the direction of the voice and saw a stern face—it was Steven.
Steven stepped forward and looked at James and Elena.
"Mr. Mitchell, I want to take your goods. The Lawrence family has many construction sites that currently need building materials. We will need to rely on your help."
James nodded. Ever since Marianne fell ill, they had not imposed much on Steven. Moreover, Nathan was always the one who had been providing the Lawrence family’s building materials, so they naturally did not interfere. However, Steven bringing it up here meant he had already thought through handling his family affairs, so there was no need to be reserved anymore.
"No problem. We will give you the lowest price."
Steven nodded back. James was correct; Steven's move was partly to help him out and partly because he was prepared to assume Nathan's authority.
Nathan had been cutting corners with the materials for a while, and Steven had long wanted to reprimand him.
