Chapter 323

In the main hall, Jonah, Silas, and the properly dressed Cyrus welcomed Victor and his

second son into their home, with Mandy and Colene by their side.

“Jonah, Silas! You both seem to grow more handsome with each passing day! Oh, pardon

me, I should address you as the president and the prosecutor now!”

“Mandy, is this your youngest son? I remember him being a mischievous and adorable

little boy the last time we met. He has grown into such a handsome young man! What is

he working as?” Victor Schmidt, the chairman of the Schmidt Group, exchanged hearty

handshakes with all the Taylor siblings.

“I’m a policeman. I’m working in the Criminal Investigation Unit,” Cyrus answered.

“Oh, you joined the police force?” Victor’s eyes flickered with surprise. To him, being a

police officer was one of the least desirable positions, given the comparatively low pay

and the inherent risks associated with the job.

More importantly, the career progression was limited. The best Cyrus could do was to

become a Superintendent in Chief, which paled in comparison to inheriting the family

business.

“Yeah, that’s Cyrus for you,” Mandy said, looking somewhat embarrassed. In truth, Cyrus’

choice of profession had been a source of concern for her.

Out of all the wives, Mandy came from the wealthiest family. While she had no intention of

competing for a share of the Taylor Group’s assets, she had been raised to place great

importance on family honor.

Naturally, she had high expectations for her children and hoped they would excel in their

chosen fields.

Unfortunately, Cyrus was pursuing a career in a different direction than the one she had

hoped for. He was determined to be a police officer, deviating from the career path she

had envisioned. This weighed heavily on her mind.

“Mandy, you shouldn’t underplay Cyrus’ achievements! He’s received several awards and

solved major

cases at the young age of 27. He’s a source of pride for the Solana City Police

Department,” Colene

chimed in.

“Yeah! He’s also the chief of the First Criminal Investigation Division in the city and the

youngest in the

department’s history!” Silas added, not wanting the Schmidts to look down on his

accomplished seventh

brother.

“Haha! He’s indeed young and successful!” Victor conceded.

Meanwhile, Cyrus was happy to receive praise from his family, even more so than when he

“Victor! Gosh-” Winston approached the Schmidts with Lyla and Neil. He looked a little

abashed. “I thought you had lost touch because of some health issues that needed

attention.”

“Ah, the pot calling the kettle black!” Victor playfully ribbed Winston, stepping closer. “I

“You were always so eager about horseback riding, willing to drop anything to challenge

me,” Winston quipped, a mischievous glint in his eye.

He continued, “I couldn’t help but wonder if you declined because you couldn’t mount a

horse anymore due to old age. Perhaps you were worried about becoming a laughing

stock.”

“That’s an unnecessary concern. I’m still hardy!” Grinning naughtily, Winston remained as

conceited at the ripe old age of 60. “When we’re both in a nursing home, I’ll be the one

who pushes you around. Just wait!”

Everyone giggled at their playful banter, just like they had for years.

Victor had donned a sharp four-piece suit for the occasion, featuring a dark grey shirt

paired with a refreshing silver-grey dotted tie.

To his disappointment, Winston had not opted for a suit. Instead, he sported a white

athleisure outfit adorned with expensive embroidered patterns, looking casual and cool.

With no sign of grey hair or a hunched back, Winston looked the same as he had two

decades ago, much to Victor’s chagrin.

Both men had always placed great importance on their appearance, diligently maintaining

their wardrobes and skincare routines since their youth. They continued this friendly

rivalry for two decades

with no end in sight.
