Vincent resided in the innermost room of the villa-style ward, a private suite that even had its own garden. The setting was especially quiet and almost meditative.
A while back, a few high-ranking colleagues had come to visit Vincent. There were also guards stationed all around the ward, a gesture that spoke volumes about his influence.
After confirming their identities, the guards at the door politely asked the family to wait while one of them went inside to announce their arrival.
Moments later, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline came striding out, beaming with laughter—it was Norman Lycan, Quintis' brother.
Among the brothers—Norman, Quintis, and Augustine—Norman's son, Maverick Lycan, had already entered the public sector and risen to the rank of deputy director. Like Tristan, Maverick was now one of the most promising young stars of the Lycan family.
Augustine's son, Knox Lycan, had made a name for himself in the business world. Rumor had it he already owned a company worth over a hundred million dollars.
Knox, Maverick, and Tristan were thus the rising stars of the Lycan family and were deeply favored by Vincent and Samantha.
When Vincent, Quintis and his generation inevitably stepped back, it would be up to these young men to carry the family banner.
Quintis had once been the one expected to lead the family among the three brothers.
Though Norman held an esteemed provincial position, it still paled in comparison to Quintis' achievements with the Sandalwood Group. After all, the company was a private enterprise that had broken through international borders and made Quintis a major player in the global capital market.
Quintis' only regret was his son, Nicholas, who had vanished without a trace.
Despite his return, Nicholas' standing in Vincent and Samantha's eyes had declined.
Too many years had passed. Who could say what sort of habits he had picked up out in the world?
