In a luxurious mansion deep within the bamboo forest.
Miles Hughes was dozing off while listening to the radio in his study.
Amidst the melodious opera, he gradually began to snore.
After all, he was over seventy, and his body was not what it used to be.
He had been relatively robust, but after hearing about Teresa Thorne's incident, Miles fainted on the spot, and when he woke up again, he could no longer stand steadily. After visiting the hospital, the doctor said there were signs of a stroke.
Among the second generation of the three major families in Argentum, Aurelius Hughes had the highest achievements.
But these achievements were not solely due to Aurelius's ability.
Rather, they were the result of Miles diverting all resources towards him.
The only family member considered somewhat intelligent was the third child, Yara Hughes.
Unfortunately, due to his preference for sons over daughters, Yara had fallen out with the family and rarely returned.
