"My late brother was the one funding you before?" Henry asked. He had no idea that James backed Vernon's struggle as he developed his first business in Europe.
He heard of it from Vernon but never about James' involvement.
"Well, I can't get any funding from my bastard brother, Vincent, and it's really difficult to start without any family backing," Vernon told the truth. "So I reached James, who sent me all the money I needed to start a company. He also helped me to get in contact with many of his business partners."
"He didn't ask me for any repayment for what I borrowed. All James said was to stay sane despite all the challenges in my family," Vernon said. "So, it'd be very ungrateful of me not to help you the way James helped me before."
"And you don't need to pay me back for anything. I just want you to stay sane, because I know you will face a huge challenge in the near future."
Vernon's words were enough to assure Henry.
