Noran was silent for a moment, his expression thoughtful.
Finally, he spoke, his tone cool and deliberate. "Investigate who in the Kingston family is pushing for this merger. I suspect whoever initiated it might have some hidden connection with someone prominent in the Park family."
The fact that this didn't happen in his first life, when he didn't try to bring down Park Bank, suggested there was more to this.
Beatrice, who had been considering the possibilities, offered a suggestion. "Could it be Mom? She's part of the Park family, after all."
Noran shook his head slightly, dismissing the idea. "She doesn't hold that much power within Kingston to initiate something like this. Besides, her relationship with her maiden family isn't good. If anything, she'd rather see the downfall of the Park family than support them."
Beatrice nodded, absorbing his words.
