Seeing how serious she was, Neil asked Curtis to pour her a glass of water and leave. With that, only the two of them remained in the office.
âGrandma, have a seat.â
Abalene took a deep breath as she sat on the couch. She looked at Neil and said, âCancel the collaboration with Ramirez Corporation within three days.â
âGrandma, business isnât a game. Rios Corporation is currently targeting Remus Corporation. If we offend Ramirez Corporation now, our company will face bankruptcy.â
Anger flashed across Abaleneâs eyes. âAre you just going to ignore what Iâm saying?!â
âItâs not like that. At least give me a convincing reason to end the collaboration with Ramirez Corporation.â
Abalene subconsciously tightened her grip on her cane. There was a hint of sorrow in her eyes as she said, âThereâs no reason, but I wonât allow any collaboration with companies from Imperial City. I donât want the company to have any connection with the families there either!â
Neil lowered his head. After a moment, he asked, âGrandma, is it because of the secret key?â
He had hired someone to investigate the members of Cold Night Mercenary Group. However, the results showed that once the mercenary group brought Liam to Imperial City, its members vanished without a trace.
Cold Night Mercenary Group had used Liam to get the secret key. Therefore, when Abalene restricted Neilâs dealings with Imperial Cityâs companies, it made him wonder if it was connected to the secret key.
Besides, he still had no clue what the secret key was and what it was for.
Abaleneâs face turned pale. âNeil, stop asking. Dealing with people from Imperial City wonât bring any good. Just trust me and donât ask why, okay?â
âGrandma, I wonât do as you say. The people who killed my uncle and aunt are hiding in Imperial City, and theyâve targeted our family. Even if we manage to hide for a while, will we be able to hide forever?â
âWeâll hide for as long as we can!â
Neil shook his head. âGrandma, if they donât get the secret key, theyâll find other ways to harm the Remus Family. Donât you want revenge for Uncle Sean and Aunt Bethany?â
Abaleneâs eyes welled up. She stared at him and said, âThose people are too powerful for us to fight. Neil, I just want our family to live peacefully in Ryoln City. Thatâs all I hope for!â
âGrandma, you still donât understand. If we donât deal with the issue of the secret key, the Remus Family will never truly be at peace.â
Abalene looked tired, and she fell silent for a long time. âSince I canât change your mind, I wonât try anymore. Donât call me âGrandmaâ from now on,â
she said.
With that, she stood up to leave.
âWhat is the secret key exactly? What is it for? Why do people in Imperial City want it?!â
Abalene froze and softly said, âStop asking. I donât want to talk about it.â
âGrandma!â
Neil rushed up to her and said, âIf we keep giving in, it will only lead the Remus Family to a point of no return. Tell me the truth. At least give me a chance to decide whether moving forward or stepping back is best.â
She turned to him, and the determination in his eyes touched her.
She almost forgot that her grandson had become an adult who could handle significant responsibilities.
âAlright, Iâll tell you everything.â After she took a deep breath, she returned to the couch.
An hour later, she left his office.
No one knew what they had discussed. After Abalene left, Neil called Curtis into his office and coldly ordered, âSend our people to Imperial City. The more, the better.â
Curtis had many questions, but he did not ask. He nodded and said, âUnderstood. Iâm on it!â
Once he was gone, Neil massaged his temples with a worried look.
Now that Abalene had shared everything with him, he had no intention of giving up. Instead, he decided to put up a fight. He would not regret it even if he ended up failing miserably!

Seeing that it was a call from Silvia, his gaze softened.
âWhatâs the matter, Sil?â
âNeil, I saw the news about Rios Corporation targeting your company. Is it because of what I did to Alan Rios? Is he seeking revenge against Remus Corporation because heâs upset?â
