From the hallway, the man's voice cut through the silence, sounding incredibly sober and resolute. "Eleanor, I meant everything I said today."

Eleanor's figure stiffened slightly. She pressed the close button without offering a response.

Inside a villa in an affluent neighborhood, Shaun Wallace had been in a foul mood all day. He had initially wanted to call his cousin, Gina Quinn, to complain, but knowing that Eleanor was her former daughter-in-law, he swallowed his pride.

Still, losing face in front of the shareholders at his age was a bitter pill to swallow.

Miranda Wallace noticed her husband's dark expression the moment he walked in. She had asked him about it in various ways, but Shaun had kept his mouth shut. Now, it was 11 PM, and seeing him still nursing a drink downstairs in a sullen mood, she threw on a robe and walked down.

"Honey, don't drink so much," she advised gently, stepping closer. "If something's bothering you, you can talk to me."

"Company business. What do you know about it?" Shaun grunted.

Miranda was a very perceptive woman. Though she was a housewife, she was a formidable character in her own right, especially when it came to navigating social dynamics and hidden agendas.
