'Never offend Justin'…
Joel mentally repeated the words and looked at Ian, perplexed.
Uncle Ian had transformed the Smith Corporation from a company always in second place into one that was ranked equally with the Hunt Corporation. Over the years, he had seen so much happen in the country, yet in spite of that, he had still reminded Joel to stay vigilant and not to offend Justin. Just how powerful and capable was Justin?
While he was musing, Ian said, "If he truly cares about Nora, then he won't mind even if I make things difficult for him now. But if he's not, then let me be the one to offend him. I don't have that long to live anymore anyway. You're still young, you shouldn't do things that might jeopardize your future."
Hearing the graveness in his words, Joel nodded hurriedly and replied, "I will keep that in mind, Dad."
