Maiyous receives a surprising call from Caroline, a powerful businesswoman he met once before. He speculates her call might be related to Bai Xiaosheng, but Caroline's true motive is revealed when she directly asks about his daughter, Lorna, leaving Maiyous astonished.

"Don’t misunderstand, Mr. Maiyous, I have no intention of prying into your family affairs." Caroline said, "In fact, there might be a good fate between us."

Maiyous frowned slightly and said indifferently, "What do you mean by that?"

Caroline finally stopped beating around the bush, not wanting to test Mr. Maiyous’ patience any further, and smiled, "Miss Lorna actually has a lover, and that’s my younger brother Robert. They’ve been in love for a long time, did you know that?"

Maiyous was taken aback.

He really didn’t know!

Back then, Maiyous had seen Lorna in the news, when the affair between Lorna and the Anlos Family was widely talked about.

The first time he saw that Lorna girl, Maiyous was shocked.

She resembled a woman he knew so much, even her little gestures were the same.

He immediately had someone investigate her background, only to confirm she was indeed his illegitimate daughter.

No matter how detailed the investigation, it couldn’t have tracked her every move, let alone known about a secret lover. At that time, although Lorna and Robert were in love, it wasn’t public, and they were just friends.

He didn’t expect his illegitimate daughter to have a lover who turned out to be Caroline’s brother!

Inwardly, Maiyous couldn’t help but think, "This Lorna girl does have some skills! She has a chieftain friend, and now a boyfriend from a notable family emerges! I underestimated her!"

Had he known this, he would have instructed Levante to be more respectful when picking her up.

Coming back to his senses, Maiyous said to Caroline in a calmer tone, "I wasn’t aware of this, I didn’t expect the young ones to have such fate."

If they could indeed ally through marriage with the Caroline Family, Maiyous believed the value of his illegitimate daughter Lorna couldn’t be compared to his previous assessment.

He had to bring her back, give her an official status, and it would be best to communicate with the Anlos Family, and reach a consensus, saying she was fostered with the Anlos Family, and an accident caused her misfortune to end up on the streets, leading to everything that followed...

Maiyous had already started constructing a new "script" in his mind.

On the other end of the phone, Caroline laughed, "I only found out about this not long ago, and knowing she’s Mr. Maiyous’s daughter, our family highly approves of this marriage."

Everything that happened today was told to Robert by Bai Xiaosheng, and Robert went to his sister.

Learning that Lorna was actually Maiyous’s illegitimate daughter, even Caroline was extremely surprised.

Subsequently, Caroline learned from Robert that Bai Xiaosheng had a confrontation with Maiyous’s butler.

With her sharp mind, Caroline immediately thought that Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t act so rashly just because of Lorna’s situation. Analyzing deeply, there must be a conflict of interest behind it, and perhaps the Maiyous Family intended to venture to Oshan to fight for the market, disturbing the situation Bai Xiaosheng painstakingly created, which led to conflict.

Caroline immediately instructed Robert to use his resources in Eisenlag to verify.

Robert naturally provided her with some reasonable explanations.

For this, Caroline even praised Robert for his swift actions.

To be brief and return to the present.

Upon hearing that Caroline shared the same view on the relationship between the young ones and was considering an alliance through marriage, Maiyous felt very cheerful and said with a smile, "As elders, we should fulfill the young ones’ happiness."

Caroline also chuckled softly, "It’s also our honor to advance further with the Maiyous Family."

Once the "happy event" was settled, Caroline added, "There’s one more thing I’d like to discuss with Mr. Maiyous. I heard your daughter seems to be very close to someone named Bai Xiaosheng, I wonder if Mr. Maiyous knows."

At the mention of Bai Xiaosheng’s name, Maiyous slightly frowned, but he replied calmly, "I’ve heard of him, he’s even a chieftain in Eisenlag."

Caroline, knowing well that Maiyous’s butler and son had just been frustrated by Bai Xiaosheng, didn’t mention it, but instead said worriedly, "This person... Mr. Maiyous, it’s best if your daughter keeps her distance."

"Oh?" Maiyous was immediately intrigued.

"There are some things my brother wouldn’t say directly to your daughter, like speaking ill of her friends. But as a sister, I feel it’s necessary to remind Mr. Maiyous." Caroline’s voice took on a slightly serious tone, "This Bai Xiaosheng is absolutely not a good person!"

Maiyous pondered slightly and then laughed, "I wonder what made you say that."

Caroline took a deep breath and said, "I’m not afraid to tell you directly, Bai Xiaosheng and I have our grudges!"

"I’m eager to hear more." Maiyous’s eyes flashed slightly, listening quietly.

"Within our Zhenbei Group, this Bai Xiaosheng colludes with certain people, constantly opposing the North American region under my jurisdiction, frequently undermining me."

"That’s one of the grudges!"

"Back then, when he came to North America, it was just in time for my mayoral election. He used some despicable means, both openly and secretly, to sabotage my campaign, ruining my chance of ever running for office!"

"This is one hatred!"

"My brother Robert, who is also your daughter’s boyfriend, had his leg broken because of him and was bedridden for half a year."

"This is one vendetta!"

Caroline stated three grievances against Bai Xiaosheng, and even her speech became somewhat gritty, "Therefore, my resentment toward Bai Xiaosheng runs deep and is difficult to disperse! I also advise you that this person is not good, definitely not a kind soul!"

Listening to Caroline’s speech, Maiyous had a sudden realization, accompanied by a spark in his heart.

If he had Caroline, who is in the same group as Bai Xiaosheng, to support him, wouldn’t it be easier to cooperate inside and out to deal with Bai Xiaosheng?

Not long ago, he had just contacted Anlos, Brady, and Hogson, and now with Caroline added to the mix, wouldn’t it be a double insurance!

Heaven is favoring him!

Maiyous couldn’t help but feel exhilarated inside.

But he quickly suppressed the bit of joy within him.

Nothing has been discussed yet; it is clearly inappropriate to revel prematurely.

"Miss Caroline, actually I don’t like this Bai Xiaosheng either!" Maiyous said seriously, "Even though he is a friend of my daughter, he has the audacity to obstruct me from sending people to bring my daughter home, which is utterly absurd! Moreover, he has manipulated my daughter into not acknowledging her roots, which is seriously despicable!"

"And that’s not all, he relies on being the newly appointed chieftain of Oshan, to set barriers against our family’s business returning to the region of Oshan as well!"

"This person is simply nothing good!"

Maiyous followed up by lambasting Bai Xiaosheng.

"How could such things happen, it seems that he’s a plague wherever he goes!" Caroline gritted her teeth over the phone, paying little heed to her image.

The two of them went back and forth, sharing a sense of camaraderie and common enmity.

With intentions of marriage alliance and shared enemies, the upcoming exchanges became straightforward and precise.

"Why don’t we join forces to teach Bai Xiaosheng a lesson, let him reap what he sows?" Caroline suggested.

Maiyous pondered for a moment and then said, "I won’t hide it from you; I actually have a great opportunity right now. Miss Caroline, will you lend me a hand?"

Maiyous was certainly eager to have Caroline join him.

"Naturally willing!" Caroline responded, "Within our group, I also hold some corporate powers. Although they might not assist in your plan, since I can’t reach that far, they can deliver heavy blows to Bai Xiaosheng from different angles."

Caroline had her own plan for dealing with Bai Xiaosheng.

And by utilizing corporate means, regardless of success or failure, it wouldn’t implicate the family.

Maiyous didn’t expect Caroline to contribute to his plan; as long as Caroline was involved in dealing with Bai Xiaosheng together, it would be enough.

The two reached an agreement quickly and to build trust, each revealed parts of their plans.

At the end of the call, they were already calling each other allies.

After hanging up, Maiyous felt refreshed, needless to say.

Across the ocean, over on Caroline’s side, she subsequently called her confidant and Robert together to brief them.

Having provided such crucial information in a timely manner, Robert was regarded as useful in Caroline’s heart.

They belonged to the same family, sharing interests; Caroline was relatively reassured about Robert.

Moreover, regarding this matter, she needed Robert’s assistance.

However, after hearing Caroline and Maiyous’ plan to tackle Bai Xiaosheng, Robert immediately voiced his stance.

Strong opposition!

"Caroline sis, you’re taking too much of a gamble on this. I think that Maiyous may not be able to defeat Bai Xiaosheng; it’s better to consider cautiously!" Robert firmly disagreed.

Being Caroline’s most trusted person, yet singing a different tune, "Mr. Robert, are you afraid of Bai Xiaosheng! In West Africa, even if he is a chieftain, how could he possibly contend with the most powerful local family!"

In front of Caroline, the two argued abruptly, neither willing to back down!
