Grady saw he had successfully changed the subject and quickly dropped a name, "James."

That guy was really something else, always pushing buttons, and someone needed to put him in his place.

Jim heard the name and thought it sounded familiar. Within moments, he recalled, "The guy in charge at the Weapons Bureau?"

The guild had some dealings with them, so Jim wasn't completely in the dark about who James was. Get full chapters from find?novel.net

Grady nodded, "Yep, that's him."

"He's chasing after Mira?" Jim's voice was tinged with anger. His niece was still so young. "How dare he?"

Grady rubbed his nose, thinking that James not only dared, but had already gotten his way.

"Miss Mira is beautiful and smart; it's no surprise she'd catch some attention," Grady remarked.

"As if!" Jim slapped the armrest of his wheelchair, feeling frustrated. He fiddled

with the joystick and turned his chair in another direction.

Grady noticed his movement, "Heading out already, sir?"

Jim

gave e him a look, "Shouldn't a patient be resting up in the hospital?"

"Oh, so you do remember you're supposed to be taking it easy," Grady quipped. Jim: "..."

"Miss Mira doesn't even know you're up and about. Should I ring her up?" Grady suggested.

Recalling the young lady's earlier demeanor, Jim shook his head. "No need, after all these years, I might as well take a long vacation."

on his nephew.

"Want to swing back and check on Mr. Nick's progress?" Grady coughed, tossing

the idea out there.

Jim was quiet for a moment. "Nah, my wound's acting up."

Grady's lips twitched, finding his own excuse, "By the time we get back, it's

probably wrapped up anyway."

With that, he shut Jim's door and climbed into the driver's seat.

The car took off without a second thought.

**After the afternoon's shooting test wrapped up, Mirabella left the Davis family training grounds.

Nick noticed she seemed preoccupied and didn't hold her back to manage the Davis family business.

An hour later, after handling family matters, he was heading out and unexpectedly bumped into Penelope at the entrance.

pce looked the same as

always, but there was a clear cloud in hereves. It was obvious how much today's test had rattled her.

Nick wasn't much of a talker, and about Penelope's performance, he could only think she had a streak of bad luck.

Who'd have guessed that the name she insisted on adding to the inheritance list would turn out to be her biggest rival?

She probably hadn't planned on such a bizarre twist when she made that call.

Nick sighed inwardly. Who could've seen it coming? His sister was now a real powerhouse.

Outside, Reid had already pulled the car around. Nick shook off his
