Harold gave Yolanda the impression that he put a lot of effort into the company, but there was little to no substantial progress. He didn't seem to care much about his family either, since he rarely went home to eat with his wife and daughters.
Yolanda never had a good impression of Harold, so she never really read through Harold's information in detail.
"You've finally misjudged someone, Yulie." Rowan snickered, and added mysteriously, "There's a reason why Harold is the way he is now."
It did sound like there was more to the story.
Yolanda was suddenly interested in gossip regarding Harold.
"You know how the Hendersons have always feigned to be obedient to us Hoffmans but in reality, because of the history between our ancestors, they loathed us more than they respected us?"
"Yes." Yolanda nodded.
Even though she had four older brothers and she didn't need to worry too much about the conflict between families, she still knew a lot of private news about different big families in Creybia.
"Right now, the Henderson family isn't that capable yet. Luke Henderson, the current head of the Creybia Henderson family tried to curry favor with the Storm and Fafnir families, but the cunning heads of these two families disregarded him.
"Luke is pretty anxious about it because he only has one daughter. Since his wife is from a formidable family, divorce isn't an option. His secret love child has no right to inherit the Henderson family, so he thought of changing the family rules."
"You're going off-topic, Rowan." Yolanda couldn't help but interrupt Rowan.
"I'm telling you the story from the very beginning, Yulie. Could you be a little more patient when you listen to stories, please?" Rowan grumbled. Then, he continued.
