"You should focus on recovering," Dominic continued. "Let your eldest son shoulder the responsibility."
Luke laid the documents aside. Concern clouded his expression.
"Matteo is too inexperienced. How can he possibly manage an empire this large?" He slowly shook his head. "No... I can't hand everything over to him. He is not ready."
Dominic knew that perfectly well.
Neither Matteo nor Felix possessed the ability to run a business. They excelled only at spending money and living extravagant lifestyles.
"But he is your eldest son," Dominic reminded him. "You chose him as your successor."
Luke let out another exhausted sigh. "I chose him because Celeste pressured me into it. I had no choice."
His voice turned heavy with regret. "Neither Matteo nor Felix deserves that position."
After a brief pause, he added, "The only one worthy of succeeding me is Max."
"Max?" Dominic asked, feigning surprise.
