The Stone and Green families had business ties.
Although, because the Green family was backed by the Piers, they had seen some development in recent years, it wasn't the same for the Stone family.
The Stone family originally ran a pharmacy supermarket, which later transitioned into a profitable medical equipment business. However, as medical science in their country swiftly advanced over the years, there was an increased demand for high-end medical equipment, causing small companies like Stone's to lose their competitive edge in the market.
For years, the Stone family had been seeking to diversify and expand their network. Although the Green family was not overly wealthy or showy, they had a solid reputation in Gills City, making them an attractive ally for the Stone family.
Currently, gossip was spreading through the entertainment company that the Green family's daughter, Ruby, was engaged to the Piers' second son. The Green family's reputation in Gills City was unrivaled.
