Milne Swift's hand froze in mid-air, his movements slow as he turned around, his voice trembling. Although he inherently looked down on Adam Piers, he knew well he couldn't afford to offend this ancestor.
Especially since, unlike other wealthy heirs, Adam wasn't afraid of doing things. He was incapable yet reckless, acting without regard for consequences. If Swift truly enraged him now, Swift would be finished.
If Swift were finished, it meant he was finished!
Having spent most of his life in luxury, Milne Swift couldn't fathom his lifestyle once Swift went bankrupt. He disregarded his dignity, casually retracting his hand, suppressing his aggression, and smiling obsequiously at Adam, "It's good you're here, Master Adam, I'm just apologizing to Bertha. I was wrong yesterday, I shouldn't have hit Bertha, you must forgive Daddy..."
