Iris sighed again and massaged her aching temples. It was clear that Bacon was hell-bent on assisting his uncle in his work with Shadow Winds. Perhaps it was the similarity in their personalities that made Bacon gravitate towards his uncle's shady work.
Since both uncle and nephew wanted to work with each other so much, then she would allow it but only if her big brother agreed to finally talk to her and Jin Liwei in person.

She had a strong abhorrence against being restrained herself, so she wouldn't be surprised if her children inherited the same trait.
