Flynn suddenly remembered–of course. Baron was the Godfather of Murica! He just hadn’t realized Baron also had connections at sea.
“Baron, if you can recover that shipment, it would be a huge help. The Stone family’s cash flow is a little tight right now; with my sister’s return, a lot of shareholders are making moves behind the scenes. I don’t know if this missing cargo was one of their tricks, but if it was, Dad and I will be in a tough spot.”
Baron pulled out his phone and said to Waylon and Flynn, “If tight funds are what’s blocking my wife’s return, then let’s move that obstacle out of the way. It’s just money. I’ve got plenty. How much does the family need? I’ll have Layne transfer it immediately.”
Flynn froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. “Dad, with a rich and generous brother–in- law like this, can we order a few more?”
“You little brat, I’ll beat you!”
Waylon threw the pen in his hand at him.
Baron rolled his eyes.
“Big Brother, one good brother–in–law is enough. If it were someone like Jensen, even if you had ten of him, would you dare take one?”
Flynn was instantly choked off.
“Alright, alright, I was wrong. I apologize, okay? Don’t compare animals like him to us–it cheapens us.”
Flynn truly despised Jensen.
Dating Natalie for five years without ever marrying her, all while exploiting her designs to build his own empire–calling him a scoundrel was practically a compliment.
Hearing Flynn’s disdain for Jensen eased that lingering bitterness in Baron’s chest.
“Dad, I remember Grant International Holdings recently secured a major government–linked project, but it requires upfront capital. Here’s my idea, I’ll have Layne draft a partnership contract. Grant International Holdings and Stone Group can develop the project together; my company will invest one billion first into Stone Group. That way, even in the worst–case scenario, you’ll be covered. At the very least, it’ll put those old Stone family geezers in their place.”

He looked straight at Waylon as he finished.

Waylon understood immediately–Baron genuinely wanted to help. His respect for this son- in–law deepened.
“Alright, go ahead with it. Honestly, with Stone Group working with Grant International Holdings, we’d be getting the better end of the deal. Let’s split it thirty–seventy; Stone Group takes thirty percent of the profits.”
Baron blinked.
“Dad, let’s make it fifty–fifty. We’re family.”
“Family or not, accounts should still be clear. Besides, I’ve heard about this project. To be honest, Grant International Holdings could easily handle it alone. The fact that you’re offering Stone Group the opportunity is more than enough to silence those old men.”
Waylon rose, patted Baron’s shoulder, and said softly, “I know you’re trying to give us money, but there’s a difference between helping us personally and helping Stone Group. I’ll make sure everyone knows this project came through you. From now on, you’ll have a place at the table in the Stone family. Natalie only cares about design, not business; in the future, the Stones will rely on you and Flynn working together.”
Baron understood.
This project was meant to be his introduction–his stepping stone into the Stone family.
He hadn’t wanted to enter the business world; he preferred the life he had now. But thinking about the dangers Natalie might face, he knew he couldn’t sit back in leisure.
“Alright. I’ll handle it.”
The three men got to work in the study.
Meanwhile, Natalie was playing with Ruby and the children. When Waylon and the others still hadn’t come out, worry crept into her heart.
“Mom, Dad won’t make things hard for Baron, will he? He might not be from our circle, but he’s a law–abiding citizen–and he’s the chairman of Grant International Holdings. He’s just low–key and doesn’t like sitting in an office, so…”
She rushed to explain, not even realizing how protective she sounded of him.
Ruby, hearing her tone, finally relaxed.

“Baron’s a good man; your father and I both see that. Don’t worry. No matter what he does, just the fact that he risked his life running into that fire for you–your father and I have accepted him as our son–in–law.”
Natalie thought back to Baron’s reckless, desperate figure in the flames.
Her eyes softened with warmth.
“Yes. He’s a good man–worth my whole heart.”
Just as she finished, her phone rang.
She glanced down–it was her lawyer.
Natalie hesitated, then answered.
“Rigel, what’s going on?”
“Ms. Stone, regarding your request to collect the design fees owed by Luke Corp over the past five years–they’ve finally given a response.”
Natalie looked at the children, then stood and stepped out onto the balcony with the phone. Read complete version only at fiWhat did they say?”
“Mr. Jensen said you’ll need to come in personally to identify which designs are yours. After all, Luke Corp has had other designers these past five years. He claims he can’t remember and needs you to verify them on–site.”
