Jim glanced up and remarked, "Besides, I'm just riding the tide... Grady wants to be the head of the family, right? So, I helped him snatch some properties from your father. It serves his interests, doesn't it?"
"Your father has always known about Grady's intentions but hasn't found the right moment to dethrone him. I'm creating that moment now. They just need a catalyst, and I'm setting the stage for their showdown."
Now, Jim seemed almost noble, as if he was just helping out and doing a favor.
Jim added, "Just watch... They'll turn on each other soon, and your family will see a big shake-up."
Maria challenged him, "You killed my brother on my family's territory. Aren't you scared of being trapped and executed by my father? Wouldn't it be smarter to cripple him, get the same outcome, and save your own life?"
