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. We shouldn't be talking. In fact, you should have deleted my number by

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. She couldn't fathom how a parent could reject their own child.Charlie nodded, their jaw clenched in frustration. "Yes, that old man disowned me because of that idiot Michael." His eyes flashed with anger, and his voice rose in indignation. "I am very mad right now.

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.

And Grandpa loves it here."Alice's gaze softened, her eyes filled with em
The Unexpected Heir Murder case
"I'm telling you, there's nothing weird, everything was normal aside from Josephine being missing when we got here," Charlie replied, his frustration evident.The detective nodded thoughtfully. "I see. Did your grandfather have any pre-existing medical conditions or diseases he was suffering from?"Charlie furrowed his brow, trying to think. "I don't know if Grandpa had any illnesses he was dealing with. He's a very strong man, aside from his asthma, and he's always carrying his inhaler with him."The detective's eyes lit up with interest. "Asthma, you say? That's important to note. Did he experience any severe attacks recently?"Charlie shook his head. "Not that I know of. He's always been careful with his condition, and Josephine was always there to help him manage it."Detective George nodded sympathetically at Charlie and Alice. "Okay, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, thank you for the information. The doctors will determine the cause of your grandfather's sudden death. My officers are curr
