After that incident, the White family had kept a lower profile for a while.
But years of comfortable living had made them complacent, and they had clearly forgotten the lessons of the past.
“Noah, you should have Karina keep her family in line. You know our grandfather and the others don’t tolerate any nonsense,” Bennett advised.
Though not full brothers, he and Noah had always been close.
Noah took a drag from his cigarette and nodded, though he scoffed internally.
Karina was incapable of reining in her family. The Whites had been up to their usual tricks behind the scenes for years.
Noah had turned a blind eye for the sake of his wife and daughter.
But the White family was a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. If what happened years ago were to happen again, it would be the end of his marriage to Karina.
After finishing his cigarette, Noah stubbed it out in the ashtray.
He changed the subject, steering away from the Whites.
“Frank has his eye on a piece of land recently, wants to develop it into a port. The Thompson Group’s shipping division has been expanding rapidly these past few years, so moving into maritime transport is the next logical step.”
Bennett wasn’t particularly interested in business matters and offered no comment.
“I’ve seen the land myself. You still have some vacation days left, don’t you? How about a weekend getaway? We can bring Nicola, and you can bring Ms. Jones.”
Noah knew this was a way to smooth things over between him and Karina, hoping to avoid any lasting resentment.
“Yvonne has a movie to finish filming. She’s due back on set in a couple of days. I’ll have to ask her if she has time,” Bennett replied.
