Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Don’t Care Anymore_1
He waved his hand, "Do whatever you like, but there is one thing: the River Clan is the hard work of several generations of the River Family, and you are not allowed to cause trouble outside under the name of the River Family."
What this meant was that George could do anything, but he couldn’t use the power of the River Clan and had to rely on himself.
For George, who had enjoyed all the conveniences of a family heir since childhood, this was definitely a threat.
George’s clenched fist relaxed as he made up his mind, "Understood, Grandfather."
This answer, however, made Old Sir River take another look at his grandson.
Compared to before, he seemed to have a bit more backbone.
He then asked, "Do you resent your grandfather for the matter with that Simmons kid?"
If it hadn’t been for Old Sir River’s strict orders to take action, George might not have gone against brotherly love.
But who could have expected that both uncle and nephew of the Simmons Family would come back to life just fine.
He had been clever all his life, but now that he was old, he had taken a big fall.
George lowered his head, "I know grandfather did it for the good of the River Clan."
Old Sir River looked at him and scoffed, "Don’t give me such courteous talk in front of me, get lost."
George said nothing more and turned to leave the pavilion.
In winter, a wintersweet flower bloomed alone in the corner of the wall. Normally, no one took care of it, and yet it bloomed most brightly at this time.
Old Sir River sighed again, looked at the butler beside him, and shook his head with a smile, "I used to say that my grandson would surely falter sooner or later. Now it seems someone capable of disciplining him has appeared."
The butler followed respectfully, "Should we find out who the other party is?"
Old Sir River shook his head, "Who else could it be? The person he’s in love with. I’ve long noticed that it wouldn’t last between George and that little girl from the Lynch Family. Sure enough..."
Butler: "If the young master truly settles down, perhaps you won’t have to worry about him."
"Settle down?" Old Sir River just laughed and sighed deeply, walking away with his hands behind his back, "That young lady might not agree, and I’m old now. Even if I had the willingness, I lack the power, so I’ll let it be, let it be..."

George once again took action for Prideful Entertainment, an act incomprehensible to outsiders.
After all, with the large family business of the River Clan, one River Clan could probably match countless Prideful Entertainments. Yet, why did Eldest Young Master River have a peculiar affection for an entertainment company?
People talked and speculated, but no one could be certain. However, soon someone brought insider information.
"You don’t know yet, do you? George’s first love, that girl named Tiffany Lynch, didn’t she enter the entertainment industry? I heard they had a falling out recently and she’s now with Jimmy Simmons."
Everyone was shocked.
"Weren’t Jimmy Simmons and George close brothers? They used to have such a good relationship. Now they’ve turned against each other over a woman. It’s really not worth it. Women are plentiful; why should brotherly loyalty be sacrificed?"
Someone shook their head, "You don’t understand. When Jimmy Simmons disappeared, George pretended to care on the surface, but behind the scenes, he was already planning to take over the Simmons Clan. Falling out was just a matter of time. Women are just an excuse. Where are the true brothers when interests are at stake?"
"That’s true." The man who first brought up the question suddenly remembered, "What about Hannah Winter before? Wasn’t it said that George had fallen in love with her after being fickle?"
As soon as these words were spoken, another gaunt man hurriedly interrupted with a look of terror, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? That’s someone belonging to ’him’. You don’t know that yet?"
The man had just entered this circle not long ago and was unaware of many things.
