Sir Eliot had always looked down on Jared Hughes' birth mother, so the Eliot family never considered looking for that child.
When Jared Hughes was kicked out of the Hughes family, those old fellows became very interested when they heard it was him.
Afterward, when everyone found out Jared Hughes was the CEO of MK, they couldn't wait to recruit him.
Carl Eliot was annoyed that Jared hadn't died when he heard his phone ring and glanced at the incoming call display.
His face grew darker. He pursed his lips and answered the phone, "Steward Goldsmith?"
"Young Mr. Eliot, Sir Hughes is waiting for you."
Carl acknowledged it, hung up the phone, tidied up briefly, and headed out.
He knew without thinking that Sir Eliot must have called him to talk about Jared Hughes this time.
This old immortal fellow might think the car accident involving Jared had something to do with him.
What bad luck.
