She had to steer him away from women who weren't suited to be his wife.

"Is the driver here? Ask him to drive slowly for safety's sake."

Sanford wasn't genuinely absorbing his mother's words, but he still cared for her.

“The driver is waiting. I'm leaving," Janiya said and signaled to the servant.

The servant escorted her out of the room, and she murmured, "Ellie, remain here and keep an eye on him. Don't Let that woman return."

"Alright," Ellie complied.

After seeing Janiya off, Ellie returned to the ward. Noticing Sanford trying to get out of bed, she quickly rushed to assist him.

"Sir, what do you need?”

“I drank too much water. I need the restroom. Ellie, did my mother instruct you to supervise me?" Sanford asked.

Ellie replied with an awkward smile, “No. She simply asked me to take good care of you.”

Sanford smirked.

"Ellie, remember who will helm the Robles family in the future. You're a smart person; you should know what to say."

He knew his mother all too well.

She had consigned a servant to act as her informant, barring Maggie from visiting him. But he could turn her scheme to his advantage.

“Your mother has only your best interest in mind." Ellie found herself in a quandary but endeavored to convince him regardless.

Sanford turned to her before entering the restroom.

“Ellie, it's not your place. You need only concern yourself with your children and consider who they work for. Have you decided whose side you should be on in the future?"

Ellie felt a surge of nervousness.

Having served Janiya all this while, her loyalty should lie with her.

But her children were both employed at Robles Group, working under Sanford.

Sanford's implicit threat was clear. If she dared to act as Janiya's informant, her children could lose their jobs.

She couldn't Let her children bear the brunt.
