"Lacking Influence"

Will you acquire those businesses? Or will you let them be? 

So far, Ainsley's people were in charge of handling the conquered territories, and they knew that the baby would disagree for the family to take over such businesses. 

That's why, all this time, they never touched the 'forbidden' businesses and let them be.

Since Ainsley didn't station her people in those areas, it's easy for others to take over and profit from the business. 

Right now, Zev was asking Ainsley...whether she would take those areas as 'valuables' or not.
