Chapter 2 - The Ruthless Heir

Garrett Weston was not a man who tolerated chaos or deception in his inner circle.

As the sole heir to the Weston Industrial Empire, a multi-billion-dollar manufacturing conglomerate based in Chicago, Garrett was known for his ruthless business tactics and his fiercely protective devotion to his mother, Margaret.

Margaret had raised Garrett alone after his father passed away when he was just a boy. Over the last two years, however, Margaret’s health had rapidly declined. She suffered from early-stage dementia and severe physical frailty, often struggling to speak clearly or defend herself.

Because of his demanding travel schedule, Garrett had relied heavily on his wife, Madison, to manage Margaret's in-home care and arrange family dinners.

Madison, a former socialite from a bankrupt family, presented herself as the perfect, devoted daughter-in-law. She constantly posted photos online holding Margaret's hand, boasting about her "sacrifices" to care for the elderly matriarch.

Garrett had trusted Madison implicitly, transferring a massive monthly allowance into her private accounts to ensure his mother had top-tier, round-the-clock medical care.

However, ever since Madison took over the primary care duties, Margaret had grown increasingly withdrawn, anxious, and terrified of sudden movements.

When the incident occurred at the private dining room, Garrett’s protective instincts flared. He had dismissed the waitress to de-escalate the public situation, but his sharp intuition told him that the terrified look in his mother’s eyes wasn't caused by the staff.
