“Yeah, Aedan was a good kid, never gave me or his mom a bit of trouble.” There was pride and relief in Beckett’s voice.

    Iris stayed silent, didn’t say anything.

    Beckett waited a few seconds and didn’t hear her voice, so he said again, “It was my fault back then. That’s why Aedan grew up without a father. I owe him too much. Now, I just want to make it up to him.”

    “Sir Steele should’ve said these things to Aedan.” Iris replied lightly again.

    Beckett on the other end of the phone sighed again and said, “But I’m at my most sensitive right now, I really can’t do anything for Aedan or you.”

    Iris smiled and stopped talking again.

    “Iris, I knew you had a huge business empire, with Merlin and Zayden fully backing you. Youcked nothing and had nothing to fear.”

    Seeing Iris didn’t get it, Beckett had to say again.

    “Sir Steele, if you had something to say, just say it.” Iris was already sure that Beckett had a reason for this call.

    “Got it, you really were someone who handled big things, and you never messed around when you did stuff.”

    Listening to Beckett, Iris thought about how Aedan got pped by Margaret in the evening, and about their argument.

    Did Aedan get into a fight with Margaret because of her?

    Suddenly I just felt a bit sorry for Acdan.

    He was such a hardworking and outstanding guy. Other people couldn’t wait to praise him, but because of her, he ended up falling out with his own mom.

    “Sir Steele, do you need me to do anything?” This time, Iris asked directly.

    Aedan was her lover and fiance. For Aedan, she definitely could do some things within her power.

    “Iris, I was determined to win this election, but I stillcked support from big corporations. If you, Merlin, and Zayden were willing to stand by me and help me out, once I got elected, I definitely wouldn’t treat you guys badly, and I’d never let Aedan, my own son, suffer either:”

    Beckett swore and said excitedly.

    That’s exactly what Iris guessed.

    In every past election, the side that got support from more and stronger financial groups won.

    There was no exception.

    For years, whether it was Merlin and Zayden or her grandma and her, they always stayed neutral in politics.

    After all, their investments were global, not in any one country.

    This time, if she and Merlin and Zayden and their huge consortium all openly supported Beckett, Beckett would definitely win the election.

    “Sir Steele, this wasn’t a small thing, I had to think it over, and as for Merlin and Zayden, it’s not like they would just do whatever I said.”

    After a brief moment of thought, Iris replied.

    “Iris, supporting me was all benefits and no harm for you, Merlin, and Zayden. Once I got elected, the help I could give you as my real daughter–inw was something no one else could offer.”

    Beckett kept trying to win Iris over and said, “At first, I wanted Aedan to talk to you about this, but he’s just so sincere with you and doesn’t want you to feel even a little troubled, so I had to call you myself and ask for your help.”
