BuzzNovelChapter 948: The moment Balthasar finished speaking, all eyes locked onto him. The room grew still as even Paul, far across the screen, straightened in his seat. His gaze sharpened; he was ready to catch every word his father would utter.
Balthasar tugged at his graying beard, a chuckle rumbling from deep in his chest.
"I've decided," he said with a grin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"From now on, I'm staying out of the family business. From here on out, it's tea, flowers, and peace. I'll let you worry about the rest." The room froze. Everyone, without exception, blinked in shock.
This was the sBalthasar who thrived on challenge, whose ambition had always burned fiercely. His lifelong goal was to elevate the Nash family to new heights of influence. And after Brian's disappearance, his frustration had been a storm, and he even lashed out at Caylee and the Sanchez family.
Your imagination starts at g In σ vs.conn Nobody had imagined he'd ever let it all go. In fact, they thought he'd carry that burden to his grave.
Yet, here he was, declaring an unexpected retreat from the very battles that had defined him. It was a twist nobody saw coming.
Sercouldn't help asking, "Dad, what made you decide this all of a sudden? You're the eldest in the Nash family. How are we supposed to handle family decisions without your guidance?" Balthasar glanced at his son, his tone unhurried, as if recounting a simple story.
"I actually wanted to retire when Brian was still in charge. But before I could step back, Brian vanished, and the family's burden landed on my shoulders. I couldn't just stand by-I had to manage everything, working and worrying for all of you. Later, I hoped Rex would take over, thinking I could finally rest once he proved himself. But Rex... well, he was nothing but a disappointment, never givingthe peace of mind I needed. So, I kept going. Then he was removed, and you stepped in as head. You're far better than Rex, but still, not quite what I envisioned, so my retirement stayed on hold. But now..." Balthasar leaned back slightly, a hint of satisfaction creeping into his voice.
"I have nothing left to worry about." His gaze softened when it landed on Marissa.
"With Brian about to return, and with someone as brilliant as Marissa in the family, I can finally relax and enjoy what's left of my life." Marissa's smile was gentle, but there was a hint of concern in her voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Grandpa, you deserve to enjoy your retirement, but you must stay involved. I'm still too young to handle the entire family on my own. Your experience and wisdom are irreplaceable. We still need you." Balthasar chuckled, his laughter rich with amusement.
"Marissa, don't downplay your abilities. If you can manage something as massive as the om Doomsday Base, how hard can it be to run the Nash family?"
Turning to Landen, Balthasar said, "Landen, you're our future leader, but you lack the sharpnes an insight e that Marissa has. In the future, when challenges arise, don't hesitate to seek her advice. With her by your side, I won't have a single worry." Landen, his usual goofy grin spreading across his face, nodded eagerly.
"Grandpa, I'm well aware I'm not as sharp or wise as Boss. Honestly, I'd gladly step aside for her to lead the family. But I also know she's destined for bigger things. Our family shouldn't hold her back. So, I'll take on the responsibility of family head and keep things running for her. And whenever I hit a roadblock, I'll go straight to her for help." Balthasar gave a firm nod, his eyes gleaming with approval.
"That's good to hear," he said, his voice carrying a note of pride.
"I'm really pleased to see how close and harmonious you two are as cousins."
