Grandpa Tristan stood tall, his weathered face etched with lines of frustration and determination. With a deep breath, he contemplated the weight of his decision. "The more I tried to rid myself of you and your family, Richard," he confessed, "the more your lineage multiplied. It left me with no choice but to involve your granddaughter-in-law and your great-grandchild in this tumultuous affair." A hint of a cunning smirk danced on his lips as he began to make his way towards his apartment. The anticipation of claiming what he believed was rightfully his fueled his every step.As Grandpa Tristan stepped into his apartment, his gait filled with an air of purpose, a symphony of alerts chimed from his phone. With a flicker of curiosity, he glanced at the screen, where a series of messages awaited his attention. Each vibrating ping whispered a new revelation into his ears."Be cautious, Sir," the first message warned, punctuated by urgency. "Your son and his nephew are prepared to traverse
Claire smiled, her eyes filled with adoration, as she watched him talk. She couldn't help but wonder how a man could be so cute, even to the point of feeling a twinge of jealousy towards their unborn child. His presence alone had made her utterly obsessed with him."I don't know," Claire said, playfully knocking his head. He winced in pain, his attention still fixated on her as she stepped into the room.He felt an overwhelming rush of excitement, grateful to have such a stunning lady who always brought him happiness. Yet, the persistent issue haunted him again, sending his mind spiraling into a state of madness. It was imperative for him to identify the culprit swiftly.A chilling realization struck him: the person might be targeting his wife and unborn child, if their motive was truly directed towards him. With a sense of urgency, he cautiously approached the window, peering out to see a figure draped in a black dress from head to toe. As soon as their eyes met, the figure abruptly
Ethan's heart softened as he observed Mr. Clinton's weary expression, understanding that he was going through a great deal of emotional turbulence. Deciding to offer his support, Ethan chose to be a source of solace for him. "You don't need to dwell too deeply on things; everything is going to be okay," Ethan reassured, a glimmer of empathy in his voice. "You should take the time to focus on yourself and understand that you're doing your best as a father." His encouraging words hung in the air, and Mr. Clinton nodded in agreement, visibly touched by Ethan's understanding."Thank you, young master. I truly appreciate your kind words," Mr. Clinton acknowledged, gently patting Ethan's shoulder. "I also hope that you will grow into a wonderful father in the future." Ethan nodded in gratitude, reciprocating Mr. Clinton's positive sentiment."I should get going," Mr. Clinton let out, his voice tinged with resignation as he made his way towards the door. Ethan couldn't help but feel reliev
Ethan drove down to the designated location where he was to meet Johnson. As he arrived, he spotted Johnson patiently waiting inside a bustling bar. Eagerly, Ethan made his way inside and approached Johnson, who greeted him with a warm smile. Taking a seat opposite him, they exchanged a firm handshake. "I must admit, I didn't anticipate you being here so promptly," Johnson remarked, to which Ethan simply nodded in agreement.The doctor proved to be surprisingly prompt, much quicker than expected. However, upon meeting with the doctor, Ethan's hopes of obtaining what he needed were dashed. Frustrated and determined, he had come to meet Johnson, hoping to find a solution."What do you have for me?" Ethan demanded, his curiosity piqued as Johnson slid a stack of papers toward him. His hands trembling slightly with anticipation, Ethan eagerly opened the documents.As his eyes scanned the pages, a profound shock coursed through his veins. Photographs of the scar he had spoken about were t
Ethan, with a determined glint in his eyes, embarked on a strategic mission to sway their opinion, cunningly feigning surrender. Concealing his true intent, he carefully orchestrated a plan, cognizant that his grandaunt held the key to unlocking the truth he sought. Deep within him, a fervent desire burned to unravel the mystery behind the designs adorning the gloves. In his exhaustive research, he had stumbled upon a tantalizing possibility - that these gloves were not a product of a single creator, but rather a collaboration between their mother and another unknown artist. Drawing upon his ancestral knowledge, he learned that their great grandmother possessed a penchant for crafting intricate patterns, and he couldn't help but theorize that her artistic DNA had found its way into the gloves. Entrusting the task to his great aunt, Ethan hoped she would possess the insight and wisdom to confirm his suspicions.Ethan, eager to reconnect with his long-lost grandaunt Lydia, approached h
They both lock eyes, capturing a moment of silent understanding. After a few seconds, Uncle Raymond breaks the silence, contemplating the possibility: "You might be right. Checking his room might yield some answers." They begin analyzing and strategizing the execution of their plan. Uncle Raymond then voices his decision with determination: "I will sneak into his room."The following day, anticipation filled the air as the family eagerly awaited the arrival of their guest. The door swung open, and Johnson stepped inside, clutching a beautifully wrapped gift in his hands. He made a beeline for Claire, unable to contain his excitement. With a gentle release of the gift, he enveloped her in a warm embrace, expressing his heartfelt congratulations."I thought you weren't going to come," Claire teased, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "I wouldn't have minded giving you a playful little squeeze," she playfully threatened, a playful smile gracing her lips. Johnson returned her banter with a
"Richard," she said, her voice filled with exasperation and a tinge of concern. "You shouldn't blame me for everything. If you want to point fingers, why not direct them towards your brother? He has always been so self-centered, never caring about anyone else's growth. I can't help but wonder why you still have so much faith in him."Her words hung heavy in the air as she paused, gathering her thoughts before pressing on. "Despite claiming to be involved in some sort of business all these years, I still can't quite comprehend what kind of business he's actually into. And let's not forget how he hasn't been able to provide for his own son. Leaving the poor boy at such a tender age, it makes me question why you continue to put your trust in him."With a momentary silence and a vacant stare, she let her words sink in, her frustration and concern evident in her eyes."Lydia," Grandpa Richard sighed, his tone tinged with disappointment. "I wasn't expecting you to still harbor grudges. At y
"Grandaunt, did you perhaps suspect someone could have taken it?" he asked, his voice filled with curiosity. Grandaunt shook her head, indicating she had no suspicions."Who would have taken it?" Grandaunt questioned, her tone reflecting a sense of disbelief. "When everyone was making a mockery of it then. It was a laughing stock for the family that day. Firstly, the size was extremely big and didn't fit into our hands. I remember vividly. My mom kept it, saying it could serve as a remembrance for us when we were finally grown back then. But it was later misplaced..." She trailed off, her voice filled with a tinge of nostalgia and regret. Grandaunt took a pause, her gaze fixated on Ethan, and let the weight of memories settle in the air."How did you find this? Who did you get it from?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine curiosity. Ethan's eyes stared blankly at her, his mind racing to come up with a response. However, his head felt strangely empty, devoid of any words to explai
