Patrick was well aware that Seth was competing with Ethan.In the business world of Seacisco, news
that the Lester brothers had been fighting against each other had spread like wildfire, which put Patrick
in a dilemma.. He refused to pick a side and simply hoped that his sons would stop fighting.
Ever since Seth and Ethan started fighting, Seth had come home less and less frequently.
One day, Patrick was surprised to bump into him at home.
"Are you still busy fighting the Larson Group?" Patrick asked grimly.
Seth shrugged off his coat and put it aside.There were dark circles under his eyes, but he still wore that
same gentle smile, which made him look approachable.
"Dad, don’t worry. I’ll handle this."
But this only served to make Patrick feel even more worried.
"You have to be careful with Ethan.We all underestimated him before.He has already taken down
Elissa and Ritchie.I have a feeling that he won’t stop until our entire family is in ruins."
Frowning, Seth stood up and walked to the stairway. before going upstairs, he glanced back at Patrick
and said indifferently, "Dad, even if he really is on a warpath, you still underestimate the Lester
family.We took root in Seacisco generations before Ethan was even born.You’re just intimidated by
Ethan.Go back to your room and get some rest while I teach that brat a lesson."
Patrick wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.He knew that Seth was too prideful
to listen to him.
The following day, Patrick went to Barnes again.He wanted to talk to Ethan.
When the receptionist informed Ethan that Patrick was waiting for him downstairs, Ethan calmly said,
"Kick him out of the building."
He had nothing to say to Patrick.

In the battle against the Larson Group, Seth had lost several times.He was beginning to get frustrated.
Seth had never encountered any setbacks since he was a child.
After all, he was the most excellent Lester in his generation.He was always a step ahead of ordinary
people.
But now, he was losing miserably to Ethan.He couldn’t protect his family nor their business from
Ethan’s blows.As time went on, he began to have a sense of crisis.
If things went on like this, the Lester family’s power would dwindle and they would soon be no match
for Ethan.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Ethan destroyed them once and for all.
Moreover, the reason why Patrick was so afraid of Ethan was that the Larson Group was growing
stronger and stronger every day.
As if that wasn’t enough, Ethan also had the support of the White family, which made him
unprecedentedly powerful.He wasn’t sure they stood a chance against him if things went on like this.
Frowning, Seth racked his brains for a solution.He needed to find a way to instantly strengthen the
Lester family in a short period of time—and the only way to do that was forge an alliance with another
influential family through a marriage.
The union between the Larson Group and the legendary White family had affected half of the
enterprises in Barnes and Seacisco, rendering Ethan nearly invincible.
But who among the Lesters could get married on such short notice? Unfortunately, the divorce
procedures between Patrick and Elissa hadn’t been completed yet.
Ritchie was single, but he was a disabled man now and there was no way any woman from a
prominent family would agree to marry him.
Sinking into his leather chair, Seth lit a cigarette sullenly.
All of a sudden, he let out a cold sneer and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
Just then, his phone on the table suddenly started to ring.He ignored it and didn’t pick it up until his
phone buzzed again with a new message.
Glancing at the screen, he saw that it was the daughter of the Walker family, Julia.
"Seth, are you still in Seacisco? I want to see you."
