“After New Year’s, we’ll send him to work in our Havenmill branch for a few years to gain some experience. Once he’s completely gotten over Serenity and matured, we’ll transfer him back here and train him for another two years. If he’s up to the task, I’ll let him take over Lowe Enterprise.
“If he can’t get over it and is unable to rise to take the helm, we can only change the successor then for the future of the Lowe family.”
Mr. Lowe very much hoped his son could be the successor to Lowe Enterprise, but that came with the precondition that his son was up to the task. If his son viewed love as more important than his future, he could only pick a successor anew from amongst his numerous nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Lowe’s expression flickered, and she pursed her lips. She said, “We’ll send him off on the fourth of January. Also, we’ll cut off all his allowance. He’s started working. He can spend as much money as he earns, lest he gets too comfortable.
“We’ll only tell him about Serenity being Zachary’s wife on the third of January. Then, he’ll finally give up and go to Havenmill.”
Mr. Lowe thought his wife’s plan was feasible and said in agreement, “We’ll let him start from the bottom ranks of the Havenmill branch. I’ll get the managing director of the branch to watch over him closely, so nothing happens to him, but I won’t let him get too comfortable either. I’ll freeze all his credit cards too. Once he gets to Havenmill, he can arrange a new bank card connected to his wages.”
For the sake of making Shawn give up on his love for Serenity and molding him into a successor who could take on the heavy burden that was Lowe Enterprise, the husband and wife steeled their hearts.
