Fayle swept his gaze over the others and asked, "You could have come to speak with me individually. What's the reason for this group visit?"
Hugo, Leon, and Leo—all of whom were his nephews—wore equally serious expressions as they looked back at Fayle.
"We thought it was time for us to contribute to the family," Hugo said. "If the four of us stand together, our voices will carry more weight, won't they?"
"Combining strength when the foundation is weak... That is an excellent strategy." Fayle's gaze settled on Hugo as he asked, "And you agreed to this, Hugo?"
Hugo gave a strained smile and nodded, then said, "I've benefited too much from Caron to refuse, Uncle Fayle."
