Chapter 236: [ Volume 1] Chaper 236- Equality

While the brothers lingered, Esme strode confidently toward the massive front doors, where two guards in immaculate uniforms stood watch.

The guards' initial stern expressions faltered when they saw her; their faces paled, and they exchanged nervous glances. It was one thing to guard the doors against unwanted visitors, but quite another when the visitor was Esme, now the head of the family's business empire.

One guard raised his hand, hesitating as if she intended to stop her, but then lowered it, her gaze falling to the ground. They knew better than to stand in her way.

The brothers glanced at each other, Ray's eyes narrowing. "She's really doing this, isn't she?" he muttered under his breath.

Kai let out a resigned sigh, but his eyes held a glimmer of amusement. "Guess we're in this now," he murmured, falling into step behind Esme.
