“Mr. Deer, slowly please…” A clear voice called out from outside the office just as Jacob was about to
delegate duties. The dark expression on Jacob’s face immediately dispersed at the sound of this
familiar voice.
“My dear daughter, what brought you here?” Jacob took three strides to the door and lifted Heidi Lynch
into his arms.
“Mr. Deer, Mr. Deer, ran away!” Heidi burrowed into a comfortable position in Jacob’s arms, and then
pointed in a direction. The fawn they had brought back was running around happily as though it was
curious about The Pavillion.
“Don’t worry, it won’t run away. Dad will bring you to play with Mr. Deer…” Jacob gave a loud laugh and

“Stay right there…” A woman cried out while huffing. This woman had chased after them but couldn’t
catch up because Jacob was too fast for her. Moira Thornborough wiped the sweat on her brow while
breathing heavily.
Everyone in The Pavillion knew that Heidi Lynch was the apple of Jacob’s eye, so no one paid any
mind to her running amok in the hotel. During the two days Jacob was in the station, Heidi had not
gone to her kindergarten but had stayed at the hotel. It was convenient for them as the hotel had
everything and she was kept entertained during those two days.

Things started to get messy at The Pavillion because of Jacob Lynch’s daughter. On the other hand,
other events were unfolding in Paramount.
Mt. Simeon was located on the southwest side of Paramount and was famous for its high-quality oil
produce.

the family’s assets to the Governor.
As for Simeon Oil Group, it was the Mondez family’s last life jacket.
The Fest family’s ship had recently been hijacked in the east, and that had caused the oil prices to
skyrocket in Paramount, leading to the Mondez family being able to profit from it.

Albert sipped his wine as he watched the bustling work going on around him at Mt. Simeon.
“Jaylen, how is the construction of the extraction pipeline going? This is our biggest asset; we have to
make sure everything goes well!”
“Relax Uncle, I’ve got it. The workers reported that they would be able to finish at three on the dot
today.”
Jaylen was sitting with one leg crossed over the other in his office, and in his hand was a glass of wine.
It was twelve in the afternoon. They only had to wait for three more hours to extract all the oil, and then
it would be real gold that would be pouring in.
The two men were overjoyed as they thought about the profit the oil would bring the Mondez family.
