Alex snorted, her face a mix of annoyance and amusement. "Marry? You? I'm sure no one would be willing to marry you, Ethan."
Ethan raised an eyebrow, unmoved by her taunt. "Are you talking about yourself, Alex? Maybe that's why you're putting your fears onto me."
Alex's face flushed with anger, but she kept her calm, staring at Ethan. "At least I'm not desperate."
Trevor interrupted, his voice stern. "Enough, both of you. This family doesn't need more fights."
Mike, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke up, his tone dripping with anger. "It's easy for Joshua to set an example when he gets the entire company. Some of us weren't as lucky."
Joshua felt a pang of guilt but kept his calm. "Mike, the company was our father's choice. We can find ways to work together if you want to be more engaged."
Mike scoffed, crossing his arms. "Spare me the charity talk, Joshua. We both know who the winner is."
