Chapter: 1468
In the family, power belonged only to those who proved their competence.
The capable person was entitled to take over everything in the Frazier family, while other family members received what they deserved without anyone taking more than their share.
Hertha opened her mouth, intending to express how people often desire more once they witness the wealth of the affluent. However, she ultimately remained silent.
They exchanged updates about their lives, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.
In the expansive dining room, a magnificent crystal chandelier shone brightly, making it as light as day.
Maids dressed in traditional attire, well-trained and organized, brought out the dishes. Nearby, a band played soft, soothing music.
Members of the Frazier family took their places at the long rectangular table, with Huntley occupying the host's seat.
Huntley, a very attractive middle-aged man, donned a casual black suit and styled his hair back, accentuating his pronounced features.
His deep-set eyes sparkled with intelligence, and his authoritative demeanor made it clear he was no ordinary man.
Caylee stood demurely behind a chair, eyes downcast.
Braden pulled out the adjacent chair, saying, “Caylee, please sit here."
Huntley made a subtle gesture with his eyes, and said, "Caylee, take the seat."
His tone left no room for argument. Caylee paused briefly before deciding to sit.
"Caylee, how is Grandpa's health?" Bainbridge asked as the food was served and they awaited Norah.
To the Frazier family, Caylee was more than a housekeeper. She was one of them.
However, Caylee always remembered her place, never overstepping her bounds. She treated everyone in the family with kindness, garnering their respect.
Caylee replied, "Your grandfather's condition remains stable. He had a slightly better day today, staying awake longer. I promised him I would bring his granddaughter to see him after dinner."
Huntley nodded and said, “Father has been looking forward to this day for over twenty years. Though he can't see my sister again, having her daughter visit will still fulfill his wish."
His voice grew somber. His vibrant and youthful sister had passed away abroad, leaving their aging father unable to see her one last time.
Florence possessed a stunning appearance, highlighted by a prominent nose bridge, amber eyes, and curly golden hair cascading down her back.
She inquired, “When is your niece getting here?"
Huntley checked his watch. As dinner time neared, he pondered whether her tardiness was a tactic to assert dominance or just a simple delay.
Without having met his niece, he could not determine her intentions.
Caylee thought well of Norah, but she couldn't stand the Wilson family. If it hadn't been for Calvin who won Bernice's heart and eloped with her, the Frazier family wouldn't be struggling like this.
