    Chapter 213 We Finally Meet Once More (4)


    Lawrence watched the video for a few minutes before suddenly asking. “Dad, don’t you think that the


    boy looks kind of like Ethan when he was a kid?”


    Hond froze for a moment before letting out a loud shout. “Hey! You were just lecturing me about this


    before. I think you’re the shameless one between us. Yes, the boy is adorable. Still, no matter how


    much you like him. Apollo is not part of our family. What’s this? Are you going to steal him so that he’s


    one of us?”


    “No, that’s not it. I merely think he looks like Ethan when he was a kid, especially his eyes. Look closely


    at those eyes, Dad. Don’t they look like Ethan’s?” Lawrence asked, pointing to the video of Apollo.


    Something shed in Hond’s eyes, and he solemnly examined the video. “Now that you mention it,


    they do look quite simr.”


    “Right? I told you so,” Lawrence added emphatically.


    “Enough. Stop dreaming. While the boy’s eyes do look like Ethan’s, that’s all there is. It’s normal for


    people to look simr to each other. Also, he looks very much like Keith. They even had a DNA


    paternity test done. Go back to where you came from. Stop daydreaming.” Hond’s jealousy only grew


    stronger now that Lawrence pointed out the simrity.


    “I never said he’s ours. I just said he looks like Ethan. Keith’s son could never magically transform into


    Ethan’s son.” Lawrence paused and abruptly asked, “Isn’t Keith single? Where did the boye


    from?”


    “It must have been the girl he was dating a few years ago. They must not have known about the baby


    back then because they had only just found him. The Ronds didn’t say too much. about it. They


    didn’t even tell us anything about the mother. I didn’t ask any further, but I think that must have been


    what happened. Hond did ask about the mother during yesterday’s visit, but James had promised


    Apollo to stay silent on the subject.


    “That’s bad. If Ethan had done that, I would have broken his leg. Lawrence might believe in letting


    others do as they pleased, but he was a strict man when ites to certain issues.


    “You wish. Too bad, you’re not that lucky. If Ethan does something wrong. I’ll disown him at most. Either


    way, I would ept a great-grandson this amazing into the family” Jealousy gnawed at Hond. “You


    should have seen him with your own eyes. He’s so very lovable. Even though I know he’s not one of


    ours, I could still feel my heart melting into a puddle.”


    “We’ll ask Alice and Ethan to have another baby once Ethan finds her.” Lawrence said as a way to


    reassure Hond and also as a way to dere his stance on the matter.


    Hond let out a chain of heavy sighs. “If Alice is able to give the family a child this amazing, I am fine


    with handing over the entire family to her.”


    He said that because he was sure Alice could never give birth to a child this


    great.


    Of course, he still hoped that Alice could do so.


    If she could do so, then handing control of the entire family over to her was equivalent to handing over


    the family to his amazing great-grandson. There was nothing wrong with that.


    Alice might not be that capable, but he would be okay with it if his great-grandson were.


    Hond knew that it was only a scenario that could exist in his dreams, but he wanted to indulge in it.


    With her intelligence, he was dreaming of the impossible.


    “I truly wish to hand thepany to Alice, though.” That was Lawrence’s n. If Ethan would not take


    over, Alice would have to do it.


    Hond pursed his lips. “You’ll need to spend around a decade teaching her to see if she’s capable


    first. You also need someone like Tanner West to help you. Otherwise, she’ll bankrupt thepany.”


    While Lawrence did not want to argue with his father, he did not agree with Hond’s opinion at all.


    “She’s not as bad as you think.”


    “Her intelligence is a fatal w. It cannot be made up for. Our children are all clever kids. We did not


    have to work too hard on raising the kids, so you think it’s easy to teach kids. That’s because you have


    never met an idiot like her. She would have you worried to death. I warn you, don’t dream big dreams.”


    Hond sighed and shook his head. “Talent is especially important in business. No one can excel


    unless they’re good at it, so what about someone less intelligent like Alice?”


    “I’ve looked into her. When she was in charge of the Wnd Group, thepany did quite well. Every


    project they started and finished within those 7 years made a profit. Not even we could do that.”


    Lawrence had evidently done his research.


    Hond was stunned and visibly shocked. “Someone must have been helping her.”


    Lawrence’s investigation had certainly revealed a person like that. “Yes, but her talent made someone


    willing to do their all in helping her.”


    “That’s why if you want to hand thepany over to her, you must also hire Tanner West. Then, Alice


    will be in charge in name only. That’s probably what happened in the Wnd Group.” Hond might be


    rash at times, but he had a sharp mind and was very perceptive.N?velDrama.Org content.


    Lawrence did not say anything in response this time since that was exactly what his investigation into


    the Wnd Group had revealed.


    During those 7 years, Alice never did anything in the Wnd Group. Everything was decided by that


    one talented person.


    “Enough. Let’s leave it at that.” The look in Lawrence’s eyes told Hond he had been right. “Don’t


    have too high hopes for Alice. Lower it down to average. After all, with what she’s starting out with, you


    can’t expect too much from her.”


    He then paused and sighed once more. “After all, not everyone can be a genius like Tanner West.


    Someone like him is one in a million.”


    Hond recognized talented people when he saw them and knew to cherish them. Otherwise, the


    Knights would not have grown as powerful as they had.


    “I know. I’ll introduce myself to him now. I’ll go personally. Tanner must work for us.” Lawrence agreed


    with Hond. He, too, was afraid that someone might steal Tanner from under their noses.


    After a moment of hesitation, Hond said. “Restrict yourself when ites to your wife. Alice was


    considerate enough to not hold it against her. If it were anyone else, who knows what would happen


    then? If a fight truly broke out, the Knight Family’s reputation would inevitably be stained with the


    adjected ‘ungrateful.”


    “I’ll take care of it.” Lawrence knew his wife was wrong in this matter, but as a man, he had a duty to


    protect her.
