"Hmm, that's interesting," Grandpa Richard remarked, his tone pensive, as he took a moment to acknowledge the delight he felt in the newly discovered beauty of his office. However, mindful of his responsibilities, he quickly refocused his attention on the business at hand.With a determined stride, he made his way back towards his seat, his mind already shifting gears. "Inform Kingsley to meet me soon and give me a report about the media office," he ordered, his voice punctuated with a sense of urgency. The gravity of the situation demanded swift action, and he wanted to be fully informed before making any further decisions.Adriana, ever attentive and efficient, nodded in acknowledgment.

After a few minutes, Kingsley walked out of Ethan's office and crossed paths with Adriana along the way."Hi, Kingsley. How did it go with him? I hope you two are getting along well," Adriana asked, genuine concern evident on her face."It's okay. Besides, he's my brother, so I know how to handle him," Kingsley replied, a smile appearing on his face."That's a relief. I was worried you guys might end up in a fight," Adriana responded, smiling. Kingsley smirked in response."I really wanted to put an end to all this after my father's confession. But I let my ego get in the way, despite all the threats I made," Kingsley admitted, a tinge of regret evident in his voice. "I apologize for being so difficult.""Hmm, it's not a serious issue. It's understandable, considering the circumstances. I never expected that from him either," Adriana reassured him, trying to persuade him. "Don't worry, everything will be okay. And if you take the time to understand Ethan, you'll see that he's not as b
Amusement danced in Uncle Raymond's eyes as he chuckled softly, shaking his head in response. "No, Ethan, I don't require any assistance at the moment. I've purposefully chosen to keep a low profile. We must remain cautious, as our enemies are still lurking in the shadows. That should be our primary focus for now."As Uncle Raymond deftly opened a bottle of wine, the sound of the cork being released filled the room with a soft pop. Ethan listened attentively, eager for information about their acquaintances. "Speaking of which, were you able to bring Kingsley to our side? And what about Uncle Richard? Has he received the necessary treatment? I feel as if I have missed so much," Ethan confessed, sincerity evident in his eyes.Ethan's gaze remained locked onto his uncle, his expressive eyes showcasing a potent blend of concern and unwavering determination.

The atmosphere in the dining room was filled with warmth and joy as the Rodriquez family gathered around the table for their long-awaited dinner together. Grandpa Richard, with his kind eyes and wrinkled smile, expressed his excitement with genuine enthusiasm."I am so thrilled to be eating dinner with my family.

Grandpa Richard, taking charge of the conversation, spoke with a jovial tone, putting an end to any further criticism or discussion regarding his grand nephew and niece. "Alright, let's put an end to any comments against my grand nephew and niece," he declared, his voice firm but still laced with humor. "Tai will get married to her lover at her own convenience, and Kingsley can take his time. Let's focus on the present couple here." His playful tone took a slightly unsettling turn as he continued, "I don't see any signs of seriousness though. They don't appear to be the type who want to produce a baby soon. As I age, I can't help but anticipate the arrival of my great-grandchildren."Claire and Ethan exchanged glances, a sense of unease lingering between them, unsure about what to make of Grandpa Richard's remark.Grandpa, sensing the discomfort in the room, suggested a shift in the topic of discussion. "Why don't we focus on the broader theme of family instead?" he proposed, his voic

He pressed his lips together tightly, the weight of the situation etched on his face.Ethan, determined to offer a glimmer of hope amidst the frustration, interjected with a slightly trembling voice. "Don't worry, everyone. We've made all the necessary arrangements. He will be flown out tomorrow morning." Despite his efforts to sound reassuring, the underlying frustration was evident on his face, mirroring the tumultuous emotions swirling within him."That's a great decision, Mr. Ethan," the doctor commended before taking his leave. Ethan turned to face the gathered family members, his posture exuding a mixture of determination and concern. He understood that the weight of the news was heavy on their hearts, and he felt the challenge of persuading them to remain strong."Please, everyone, we can't afford to break down now," Etha
In the dimly lit room, shrouded in an air of mystery, a figure stood, hidden in the shadows.
