If York Corporation ever did face a crisis so severe it was on the brink of bankruptcy, the entire business world of Wiltspoon would shake. Countless small and mid-sized companies would collapse like dominoes.

Alex smiled. “Grandma’s amazing. We all grew up with our grandparents because our parents were always busy with business. They basically handed over raising us to them.
