Deplua?" In his steady voice, Matthew prompted Adkins
Knowing the characters of both father and son, everyone was shocked by the turn their conversation took. Neither Matthew nor Adkins were playful people. They always meant what they said. Therefore, if Adkins would take his father's words seriously and become the most powerful leader in Deplua in the future, that meant he would be... the president of the country?
That was most definitely an ambitious goal
Carlos suddenly burst into laughter before he added, "From my grandfather to Matthew, we've never had anyone who had run for public office in the past generations. The Hilton family has always engaged in business. So, I give all my support to Adkins’ dream!"
Sheffield gave Adkins a little pat in the head and said seriously,
“Boy, as long as you have a dream in your life, everything is possible!
Go for it! Just don't forget to share your glory with your uncle
Sheffield here once you become rich and powerful in the future."
Terilynn, on the other hand, had some reservations about the matter.
"But politics are also full of intrigues. I can't help being afraid for
Adkins..." There were so many people with different and hidden interests in politics that she worried about someone who could set
Adkins up at some point in his career
Putting his arm around her shoulders, Joshua comforted her, "This boy has inherited Matthew's IQ. You don't have to worry about him. He can do it. And Adkins, don't be afraid of anything. Just fight for your dream!" ‘It's the other people who should be worried. Not Adkins. After all, the boy has two well-known families behind his back, supporting him.

As for Erica, it was no surprise to hear about her son's dream. She had learned about it a long time ago. But she was genuinely confused with
Matthew's intentions. Did he really want their son to become the president of Deplua?
As soon as the adults stopped discussing Adkins’ future, Boswell hurried to tell them about his dream.
"Grandma, I'm more interested in
Dad's company. However, I don't believe I need to be as cold as Grandpa and Dad to take over the business. In fact, I think Uncle Sheffield is also a good CEO for me to take as an example.”
The boy's statement Left everyone dumbfounded for a moment until Debbie kindly asked him, "Who told you that you have to be as cold as your father and grandpa to take over the company?"
“Boswell, who told you Grandpa is cold?" Carlos asked, unconvinced. 'I quitted being a cold man a long time ago!"
Boswell couldn't help but look at Terilynn, who at this time had already stepped back to hide behind Joshua. Not wanting to betray his aunt, the boy shook his head and lied, "No one told me that. As far as
I know, Grandpa had always kept a stern Look on his face while he was in charge of the company, and Dad is no different now. I prefer to be a boss like Uncle Sheffield, who acts more Like a regular person."
Boswell thought it was better to smile than to be a boss like his grandpa and father, and risk scaring away the clients with a scowl. ‘If
