“Are you certain that Millie is Aisha? It’s an extraordinary coincidence,” Freyja eximed incredulously


    upon learning of the connection between Aisha and Millie. The revtion was hard for her to fathom.


    “I wish I were mistaken. All we can do is maintain absolute discretion. We cannot allow Leon to be


    aware of this truth. You understand how stubborn he is about this matter. If he were to uncover it, it


    could shatter the tranquility of the Thomas family.“


    Both Leon and Marcus were udia‘s grandsons and integral members of the Thomas family. Any


    discord between them stemming from the Millie-Aisha connection could spell catastrophe.


    Unbeknownst to them, a figure lingered just beyond the slightly ajar door-Leon himself. His acute ears


    captured every word of their conversation.


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    Leon’s fists clenched with palpable tension.


    The absurdity of it all struck him. Evidently, his grandmother had been privy to this truth all along, yet


    she had chosen to keep him in the dark.


    With a resounding crash, the door was forcefully shoved open. The cup held within udia’s grasp


    slipped from her fingers, shattering upon impact as she was startled by the abrupt entrance of Leon.

    Why was she not informed of his return? Did he hear everything? “Grandma, Marcus, Bruce, and I-you


    favor Marcus, don’t you? Because he’s the better choice?” Leon’s voice dripped with sarcasm as he


    jeered at udia.


    With their exposure undeniable, udia began to speak, her voice tinged with apology.


    “I’m sorry, Leon. I did this for you and for the well-being of the entire Thomas family.”


    “For me?”


    Leon repeated the words through gritted teeth, his appearance conveying a sense of anguish.


    “Leon, it’s time to let go of the past and move forward with your Life. The possibility of you and Millie


    being together is imusible, and this is also for Millie’s sake. You can see that she shares a


    meaningful bond with Marcus.” udia attempted to reason.


    udia recognized that whatever she said at this moment would likely incite Leon’s displeasure. Yet


    she found herself backed into a corner with no viable solution that could appease both sides. Millie was


    a singr individual, and she couldn’t be divided between her two grandsons.


    One of them would inevitably have to relinquish his im on her.


    “You must be concerned that I’ll resort to any means necessary to im Millie for myself, thereby pitting


    myself against Marcus, correct? Your assumption is urate. At this point, I care for nothing but my


    own desires. This family holds no sentimental value to me, and I’ve grown indifferent to its frigid


    embrace.” Leon’s words carried a chilling weight, inducing an involuntary shiver.


    These words sent a wave of apprehension through udia. Was her worst fear about to materialize?


    Would Leon truly stop at nothing to wrest Millie away, even if it meant shing with Marcus?


    Freyja reached out, steadying udia’s trembling hands. udia’s fragile health was deteriorating,


    and the emotional turmoil threatened to push her to her limits.


    Leonpressed his lips into a tight line, his icy gaze radiating an aura of intimidation that caused a


    shiver to crawl down one’s spine.


    udia pressed a hand to her chest, her heartbeat racing. The Thomas family owed a debt to Leon.


    Despite being the eldest grandson, he had suffered the most.


    Leon’s demeanor remained frigid and resolute, like that of a man poised to pursue his objectives


    regardless of the cost.
