The Unexpected Heir Secrets
Charlie stood stern, his face still stinging from the slap, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Wow! I guess you deserve an accolade," he said, his voice heavy with sarcasm. "So amazing, you're disowning your own son for someone you barely know?" He shook his head, his eyes filled with a mix of anger and hurt. "You're choosing him over me, your own flesh and blood. What a great father you are!" Charlie's words dripped with venom, his tone laced with pain and betrayal.Mr. Thompson's expression remained unyielding, his jaw set in a firm line. "You've brought shame to this family, Charlie. Your constant accusations and tantrums have worn us down. We won't stand for it anymore."Charlie's eyes flashed with anger. "Shame? You want to talk about shame? You're the one who's shameful, Dad. You're the one who's blind to the truth. Michael is manipulating you, just like he's manipulating Fiona. But you won't see it, will you?"Mrs. Thompson stepped forward, her voice soft but firm. "Charlie, stop
The Unexpected Heir Connections
"Who is this person?" Leo asked, curiosity etched on his face.Charlie chuckled. "It's my grandfather, my mother's father."Leo's eyes widened in disbelief. "You can't be serious! How can your grandfather, a wealthy man, live in a place like this?"Charlie smiled, a faraway look in his eyes. "You don't know the story, Leo. My grandfather insisted on staying here after my grandmother passed away. He wanted to be close to her, so they bought this place. He's been living here ever since."Leo's gaze followed Charlie's pointing finger to the nearby burial ground. "Your grandmother is buried there?" Charlie nodded. "Yes, my grandfather's love for her is unwavering, even in death.”"Oh, this is unbelievable! Your grandad must be a total romantic," Leo said, his tone laced with sarcasm, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.Charlie chuckled, a warm smile spreading across his face. "My mom told me that they were truly meant to be, and if anyone ever tried to come between them, they'd bot
The Unexpected Heir Tell me what's going on
"Grandpa, I know we both have connections, but this situation is delicate. Michael's threatening to release a video that could put her in harm's way. We need to tread carefully," Charlie explained, his voice laced with concern.James nodded thoughtfully, his eyes locked intensely on Charlie's, as if willing him to reveal the truth. "What do you need me to do, Charlie?" he asked, his voice low and serious, the gravity of the situation evident in his tone.Charlie's expression turned determined, his jaw set in a firm line. "I need you to use your influence to dig up information on Michael's true intentions. We can't let him carry out his threat." His words were laced with a sense of urgency, his eyes burning with a fierce determination.James' curiosity was piqued, his eyes narrowing slightly as he leaned in, his voice taking on a probing tone. "What exactly did you mean, Charlie?" He asked, his words dripping with a sense of concern, his eyes never leaving Charlie's face.The air was t
The Unexpected Heir Understanding
Grandpa James' eyes blazed with a mix of anger and frustration as he spoke. "You're so young, Charlie, caught up in your own world. You don't know the history, the pain. Your father, he was always headstrong, stubborn. I tried to caution him, to tell him to be gentle with you, not to push you so hard. But he refused to listen."James' voice cracked with emotion as he continued. "He told me it was none of my business, that I was just an in-law, that I had no right to interfere in his family affairs. Can you believe that? Because I wasn't his father, and he wouldn't listen."James paused, collecting himself before going on. "I offered to take you in, to raise you myself, to teach you the ways of the world. But he refused. He said he would do it his own way, and that I should mind my own business. Your mother, my daughter, she just apologized and told me to let him be."James' staff struck the ground with a loud thud, his anger and frustration boiling over. "That's when I vowed to never

Doctor Stephen informed him that his parents had transferred Fiona to their family hospital, citing concerns about her lack of rest at the current facility.Charlie's eyes widened in disbelief as he processed the news. He couldn't understand why his parents would do such a thing, especially given their strained relationship. He felt a surge of frustration and anger, wondering if they were trying to control every aspect of his life.Just then, his phone rang, breaking the tension. He hesitated for a moment before answering, his heart racing with anticipation. He took a long, deep breath before clicking the answer button."Hey, Mr. Thompson," Charlie said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Why have you called me? I thought you'd disowned me.

Why are you having a tough day?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.Charlie's face twisted in anger and hurt.

I just want to start minding my own business."Alice's eyes nearly popped out of her head in disbelief. "You mean you're disowned?" she repeated, her voice incredulous.

The Unexpected Heir Dead
The next dayCharlie drove down the winding road, the excitement in his voice palpable as he pointed out landmarks to Alice. "And that's the old oak tree, Grandpa's favorite spot! And there's the creek where we used to fish!" Alice laughed and chattered, her eyes shining with joy.As they turned a corner, the scenery shifted from lush greenery to a rundown neighborhood. Alice's expression changed from delight to disbelief. "Wait, Charlie, are we in the right place?" she asked, her voice laced with skepticism.Charlie nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, of course! Grandpa lives in that building." He gestured to a weathered apartment complex.Alice's eyes widened in surprise. "That's...unbelievable," she said, her tone tinged with concern. "How can your grandpa live in this...discarded area when you guys live in a luxurious house?"Charlie scoffed, his face defensive. "What's wrong with this place? It's got character! And Grandpa loves it here."Alice's gaze softened, her eyes filled with em
