Chapter 757
Living large, that's the game, right? You gotta grab life by the horns and make a splash.
Relying on that kid, maybe something will stick. After all, which of the old guard in B City's top families doesn't dream big? Old man Perez, he's still got his head in the clouds, hoping against hope that Zachary Snider will snap out of his slump, and the Snider legacy will shine again, giving the Perez clan a leg up. Zachary's got no kids of his own, so Rebecca's little one is his only blood. Otherwise, why would the Perez family put up with Rebecca's high-handed ways?
Then there's Galloway Damon of the Damon clan, king of wishful thinkers. They're all sat on pins and needles, praying their boy Putnam Damon will amount to something. Still, he's no match for their golden grandson. And that daughter of theirs, always stirring the pot, they're just not cut out for the big leagues.
The remnants of the Snider family? They're not gonna make waves. The younger generation, like Victor Snider, he's just keeping the family from going belly-up too fast. If Zachary wakes up, it's a stroke of luck for their clan. If not, the Sniders are on borrowed time. So, the family with the best shot at hitting it big is the Ingrams. Even if Zachary wakes up, no worries... Their girl's got an in with them.

"I'm on his lap every day on set! Sometimes he shares his life lessons... I jot them down."

"Grandpa wants to show off to Emmert... without giving anything up. Aren't you afraid he'll have a good laugh at your expense?" Sebastian suddenly appears at the door. Jaxon fires back, "Laugh at what?"
"When Emmert took to my little girl as his goddaughter... he showered her with gifts."
Jaxon's heart just about breaks. This kid's always squeezing him... First for his own girl, now this little one... Ah well, what's done is done, what canh

"Tell the butler to fetch it from the vault... Stuff meant for your aunt, it's all yours now, kiddo." Sebastian's eyes light up, "Grandpa's being generous..."
"What else am I gonna do, take it to the grave? I see potential in the kid. When she makes good, she better spoil this old man rotten."

Emily blinks, "You think I'll make something of myself, Grandpa?"
"I've never been wrong about people."
"Then I'll take your blessing, Grandpa. I'll grow up safe and make you proud! I'll always take care of you."
Sebastian chuckles, "It's almost noon. Shouldn't your sister be waking up? Should we head back?"
Jaxon grumbles, "Not staying for lunch?"
"Nah, my sister's home alone, sleeping."
"She won't starve to death. She can come over when she wakes up."
