Ian was caught in a dilemma as he leaned back against the tree, trying to process what he had just learned.
His mother's family was not the best, they had abandoned the Lims in their time of need, but not everyone was part of that.
Ian's cousins were innocent to their parent's crimes, they simply couldn't do anything. They were brought up in a family where children were meant to be seen not heard. It was only Ian and his sisters that had been allowed to be involved in the business.
They were only involved because Ian's mother was set to inherit the business in a few years when his grandfather died, making Ian next in line after his mother.
She insisted that all her children be brought up knowing what it was like to run a company, she wanted them to be prepared for the future.
Ian and his sisters would spend their summers working in both of their grandfathers' companies, learning what it would take to run both.
