Additionally, even if the girls were drawn to him or showed interest, their families might not be open to epting him.


    Donald let out a deep sigh before addressing Sean, saying, “I’ve received some news from home regarding your younger brother, and I’m afraid his condition isn’t looking very promising.”


    “What’s wrong?” Sean asked urgently. “Has his condition worsened?”


    “No, that’s not the case,” Donald replied. “His illness remains unchanged; he still endures the same ordeal every hour. However, it appears that your brother’s emotional and mental state has significantly declined. Previously, he would feel suicidal if he missed his hourly routine, but now, after each episode, he feels the same despair. He expressed that living like this is too painful and pointless for him.”


    With that, Donald sighed again, unsure of who Kian had angered to end up in such a dire situation.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Sean clenched his teeth and dered, “If I ever find the person responsible for my brother’s suffering, I swear I will take their life!”<fne0d4> This content belongs to F?ndNovel</fne0d4>


    Yet, deep down…


    Even as Sean spoke of vengeance, his true desirey not in avenging his brother or seeking a cure. What he truly yearned for was to win Jasmine’s heart.


    In reality, Sean was rather indifferent to his brother’s plight.


    On the contrary, he believed it would be more advantageous for him if Kian remained in his current state.


    This way, he wouldn’t have to contend with a rival for the family fortune in the future.


    If Kian remained as he was, without any hope for recovery, he would never be able to inherit any family wealth or property. Instead, he would likely be confined at home, reliant on his family just to survive.


    This scenario would leave Sean free to im the entirety of the Webb family fortune for himself.


    Donald sighed once more and said, “Sean, don’t worry about your brother’s situation. I’ll take it upon myself to investigate further. Focus on pursuing Jasmine with all your efforts. You need to make sure you win her over. Do you understand?”


    Sean nodded eagerly. “I understand, Dad!”


    Donald then continued, “I’ve organized an event at The Heaven Springs tonight. The guests include the heads of the White family, the Quinton family, the Lloyd family, the Zimmerman family, and the Kline family. Each of these families has deep roots in Aurous Hill, with their own strengths and resources.”


    “I’ve also invited Don Albert, the owner of The Heaven Springs. While he may seem intimidating andcks a prestigious background, he is deeply connected in Aurous Hill’s underground world. He’s aware of almost everything happening here. So, forging connections with these individuals tonight will certainly benefit you in your pursuit of Jasmine.”


    Sean was familiar with the White and Quinton families, knowing Zeke White and Graham Quinton as their heads. However, he was less informed about the other families mentioned by his father. Curious, he asked, “Dad, what about the Lloyd, Zimmerman, and Kline families? What can you tell me about them?”


    Donald chuckled and exined, “The Zimmerman and Kline families are fairly ordinary; they’ve built their wealth through real estate. There’s nothing particrly remarkable about them. The Lloyd family, however, is more intriguing. They operate a financialpany involved in dubious activities, essentially functioning as loan sharks. They’ve gained prominence in thest two years, backing numerous gangsters in the debt collection business.”


    Sean was taken aback and asked, “So, they have a simr nature to Don Albert?”


    “Yes, they share some simrities,” Donald confirmed. “But the Lloyd family can’t match Don Albert’s power. Don Albert has far more men at his disposal throughout Aurous Hill. His operations dwarf Cain Lloyd’s collection team. That’s why, despite his hatred for Don Albert, Cain doesn’t dare to confront him.”


    “Cain hates Don Albert?” Sean asked, surprised. “Did something happen between them?”


    Donald smiled and replied, “It seems there was a significant conflict. Cain has an only son, Marcus, who recently crossed Don Albert. As punishment, Don Albert carved two words onto Marcus’s forehead.”


    “What words?” Sean inquired, intrigued.


    “Pathetic jerk!” Donald revealed.
