"It was my mistake, letting your mother keep you by her side for so long. She did nothing but ruin you," Charles sighed regretting how much he let Elaine take charge of raising Eli. It only led to the boy always taking his mother's side. "Men should side with men. You're my successor, act like it."
"As if I care about being your successor. I wouldn't want to take away the one thing which makes you happy. Keep your belongings," Eli said declining whatever his father had in store for him. He never sought after anything his father owned.
Whatever Eli King wanted, he went and got it himself. With this thought, he was successfully creating his own empire.
"It doesn't pay to be ungrateful Eli. One day someone will take what you could have and you'll regret it."
"I could say the same when it comes to mother," Eli retorted hitting one of his father's weak spots.
"Whatever happens between me and your mother is none of your concern. Mind your business."
