Fitz had recently been very busy coordinating with the concert venue, and left early in the morning to supervise the progress, so
even though he’d seen the news that his sister was about to hold a press conference, he never asked what her plans were.
Therefore, he said to Lord Banks, “Grandpa, I’ve been very busy with something today.
I haven’t had time yet to talk to Zara.
If you wait a moment I can call and ask her.”
Lord Banks blurted out, “Don’t call! Minute details, such as body language, aren’t visible through a phone.
Go back and speak with Zara in person.
It’s best that you bypass your mother and your grandpa and talk with Zara in private.
Ask her what her plans are regarding this news conference, I’ll also have to make early preparations here.”
Lord Banks is really afraid that Zara will point her finger at himself at the press conference.
While outsiders may scold him, it’s only a bunch of angry people without a leader.
But if Zara takes the lead in scolding himself, there will be a clear path for the hundreds of millions of people to vent that anger.
If that were to happen, he feared that people would take to the streets with banners of protest against him.
Fitz sensed that his grandfather was very nervous about this matter, so he hurriedly said, “OK, grandfather, I’ll head back right
now, and report to you as soon as I make any progress!
Lord Banks said, “I am not just asking you to inquire about Zara’s thoughts.
You have to find a way to persuade her to let go of her hatred.
You have to let her know that she’s a member of the Banks Family, not the Thorne Family.
She, along with the rest of the Banks Family, are prosperous or ruined as a whole.
Now that the Banks Family is in such a difficult position, we can no longer attack ourselves!”
Fitz hurriedly said, “I know Grandpa, please rest assured that I will try my best to persuade her!”
“Okay.” Lord Banks said somewhat sullenly, “You must do your best to persuade her to handle this matter gently! As long as you
can persuade her, grandpa will definitely not treat you badly!
After hearing this, Fitz agreed to drive home.
In the Thorne family’s old house, Zara had locked herself in her room as she prepared the manuscript for tonight’s press
conference.
This was the beginning of her three-year plan.
With it holding such great significance, she couldn’t make any mistakes.
Fitz knocked on her door and asked, “Zara, can I come in?”
When Zara heard his brother’s voice, her expression suddenly became cold.
She’d been speculating for the past two days that the private relationship between her brother and grandfather Lord Banks may
be very close, so much so that her brother’s heart may have fallen to their grandfather.
But she has no evidence to prove it.
Therefore, today would be her test of Fitz.
She knew that Fitz left early in the morning for the venue to prepare for Stefanie’s concert.
So she believed that if Fitz suddenly put aside his own business and rushed back because she wanted to hold a news
conference, then he most likely would’ve fallen to their grandfather.
Moreover, if Fitz rushed back for this incident, and in front of her, spoke kind words about their grandfather, and asked for
forgiveness for their grandfather, then he would have completely turned against her!
If Fitz really turned against her, then not only would Zara have to guard closely against her brother, but she couldn’t forgive him
either.
She felt that what their grandfather, Lord Banks, did this time was really inhumane: He’d almost killed both her mother and
herself!
In the face of such an incredible wrongdoing, her brother should stand on the side of justice and family love, with herself and her
mother, and hold that line with them.
If he instead stood beside his grandfather, it would only prove that in his eyes, the importance of money and status have
completely surpassed justice and family affection.
If that is the case, it also proves that my brother has lost the humanity that a normal person should possess.
