The Man Who Never Looked Away novel Chapter 339

The Sheffield Family Office.

The suite was located on the penultimate floor of the tallest skyscraper in the CBD.

It was expansive. A massive curved glass wall offered a sweeping view of the river below, where a water bus glided lazily, the setting sun painting the water in shards of gold.

The decor blended modern design with traditional elements—antique mahogany tables and classical calligraphy lined the walls. It felt less like a corporate office and more like a billionaire's private study.

Lavinia sat front and center while Charley delivered his presentation with the utmost sincerity.

Once the PowerPoint was finished, she finally understood why it needed to be a hundred slides long.

Just explaining the Sheffield family's global asset distribution took fifty slides. Another thirty were dedicated to mapping out his relatives.

In short, the Sheffields were a century-old elite family with operations overseas spanning four generations. However, his parents' generation wanted to shift focus back home, so he had been sent back to receive his education locally when he was young.

The family's economic tentacles stretched across the globe, touching almost every major industry. The Solstice Group was merely a fraction of their empire.

Charley was the eldest grandson of the main branch and the head of the Sheffield Family Office. Through equity investments, the office controlled all the affiliated global businesses, though Charley didn't manage them directly.

Even the chairmanship of the Solstice Group, which rightfully belonged to him, had been handed off to a proxy executive. He simply acted as the controlling shareholder, calling the shots remotely via international conferences.

This setup freed up his time for something far more important: executing strategic national interests by securing overseas mineral resources.

It was a task only a very select few, like Charley, could pull off.

Many countries enforce strict barriers against foreign investment in strategic resources like mining. Investors from his home country were often blocked entirely.

But since the Sheffield Family Office operated as foreign capital, it easily bypassed those checks.

And thanks to his grandfather's legacy of patriotism, the higher-ups fully supported his operations from the shadows.
