Chapter 1274
"Ronald, your granddad knows you've been wronged," Old Mr. Malone understood Ronald's nature. "Starting today, Tobin is out of the company, and his 10% shares are transferred to you. If that doesn't cool you off, you can throw another punch, but keep it away from the
press-"
Hiring a hitman was no small matter.
But Ronald wanted more.
"Grandpa, it's not about the material things for me. It's the thought that if he could go after me once, he could very well do it again."
"How about this? I was planning on opening a branch in Safarina. Let Tobin handle it."
"For three years. If he can establish the branch and show some results, he can come back to Imperial City."
Tobin panicked, "Ronald, you damn want to kick me out?"
Three years!
In Safarina, a place where even birds wouldn't bother to shit, how was he supposed to survive?
The old man was also reluctant.
But Ronald clearly wouldn't let things slide, leaving him no choice but to nod, "Alright, do as you say."
Tobin wanted to resist.
But Mrs. Malone held him back.
"Fine."
With that, Tobin was sent off to Safarina that very night.
Before leaving, Ronald handed him a thick dossier: "Make it work in Safarina, or I can't guarantee your fiancée and your unborn child will make it through these three years." Nothing scared Tobin except the thought of losing his fiancée and child.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
His eyes filled with rage, he bit back his curses, grinding his teeth, "Ronald, you better pray you don't cross paths with me again, or you'll see what I'll do to you!" Ronald waved a hand, "Escort the young master to his flight."
After Tobin's departure, Mrs. Malone fell ill, not too severely, but enough to lay in bed for nearly a month, casting a gloom over the Malone family.
On the other side.
Having dealt with Tobin, Ronald found some time, bought lavish gifts, and went home with Kari.
Willa was happy to know he was with Kari.
Early in the morning, she went to the market to buy chicken, duck, fish, and meat, bustling around for hours to prepare a grand feast.
Ronald was a bit nervous.
Kari didn't understand, "It's not our first time visiting."
She had never seen him this jittery before.
Ronald's lips thinned, "It's different this time. It's like meeting the in-laws."
Kari chuckled lightly, attempting to help him with the packages, but Ronald refused, "I got it."
They went upstairs and opened the door.
Willa emerged from the kitchen, her face glowing with warmth, "Ronald, Kari, you're finally here, come on, dinner's ready."
Ronald visibly relaxed, "Willa."
Seeing the extravagant gifts, Willa was touched.
Such formality from the boy.
"Ronald, it's not your first time here. You didn't have to bring so much."
Ronald stood firm, "Willa, it's different this time."
Willa's affection for Ronald was evident, "Alright, sit down, dinner's ready."
Ronald still wanted to help but Willa stopped him.
"No need, just sit and get ready for dinner."
Ronald felt a bit awkward.
During the meal, Willa, seeing how well the two got along, felt a bit emotional and lifted her glass, "Ronald, Kari has been through a lot. Now that she's with you, I'm

relieved. Take care of each other."
Ronald immediately raised his glass, "You have my word, I'll never let Kari suffer. I'm already dealing with the Malone family issues, and I won't let anyone bully her."
Willa believed in Ronald's promise, "Good."

After lunch, Ronald took the initiative to clean up the kitchen, while Willa held Kari's hand, her eyes tearing up, "With you and Ronald together, I'm at peace."
