Chapter 768 The Heir of the Duncans


    The silent old vi of the Duncans suddenly became noisy due to the return of Branden and the others.


    Karl was so d and greeted them with a smile all along. And he was extra enthusiastic when he


    learned the others were all friends of Catherine’s. ” Don’t be shy, kids. Since you’re Catherine’s friends,


    make yourselves at home.”


    His warm wee to Catherine’s friends made people think Catherine was a spoiled granddaughter of


    the Duncans.


    Zobber whispered to Catherine, “Way to go, Catherine! So, my worries of you being stuck in a rich


    family drama are unnecessary.”


    Catherine looked at Zobber as if telling her that she suspected Zobber had brain damage.


    Sitting not far from Catherine, Karl joined their conversation when he heard what Zobber said. “No


    drama is allowed in the Duncans. Whoever bullies Catherine will be kicked out of the family.”


    Since Karl had been kind and humorous, Zobber joked, “What if Branden bullies Catherine?”


    Her words attracted the attention of others who were chattering. Ronin secretly thumbed up at Zobber


    and thought, “What a crazy girl! What a crazy question!” But he was curious, too.


    Everyone fixed their eyes on Karl, wondering what he would say. Branden was his grandson and the


    heir of the Duncans. It was unlikely he would kick Branden out for an outsider.


    Branden sat calmly on the side, slowly peeling the grapefruits. His slender fingers gently removed the


    skin and fascia from the grapefruit and put the rest into the bowl before Catherine. He was calm and


    quiet, like an outsider.


    Karl naturally felt their gaze. He was old but not thick. He turned to Zobber with sharpness in his eyes.


    “The heir of the Duncans does not have to be a Duncan.”


    His words blew everyone’s mind like a dynamic. In Eskana’s tradition, lineage was taken very seriously.


    Some wealthy families and ns still had the tradition from ancient times that the heir should be the


    eldest son or grandson.


    It appalled everyone that Karl trusted Catherine enough to consider her an heir. He would give her the


    whole Duncans’ business if necessary.


    After the shock, they turned to Branden, wondering how he would react to Karl’s words. He was the


    legitimate heir of the Duncans.


    Branden finished peeling thest piece of grapefruit and slowly wiped his fingers clean with a tissue


    before responding to everyone’s expecting gaze. He said one word. “Agreed.”

    If he was in debt with Catherine one day, offering her the Duncans would be his atonement. But that


    day would nevere. He was confident about this.
