Chapter 177


    Lucian watched Penelope try to stifle a smile, leaving him a bit flustered but amused Clearing his


    throat, he turned his face and suggested, “If you’re bored, feel free to roam around the yard. I’m staying


    in the back, I can have the maid take you there”


    In Carter’s study, George lounged on the couch and announced, “Grandpa, I’m back. I’ll be around for


    a few days and gotta make another trip at the end of the month.” George’s mother was of mixed race,


    giving him a handsome face with striking features. His deep set eyes, coupled with his chestnut mid


    length hair, gave him a somewhat soft demeanor.


    However, he also inherited the good genes of the Lindberg family, with all of the younger generations


    bearing a certain resemnce


    “Stay a little longer Aidan is back too. Your brothers should hang out more,” Carter Lindberg had a


    fondness for George, whose father, Waldron Lindberg, was his eldest son. When the Lindberg family


    businesses were divided, he made a fuss and insisted on managing the Nova Haven branch, a key


    financial area for the Lindberg family.


    “I know, I will,” George replied. “I brought your favorite Nova Haven pastries and authentic Nova Haven


    white wine this time. My mom herself brewed the wine. She’s learned a lot during her years in Nova


    Haven This year, she picked up wine brewing. You must give it a try”


    “You’re such a sweetheart,” Carter nodded


    “Have you met Penelope yet? Lucian’s fiancée. They just had their engagement party recently.”


    “I have; she’s a striking woman. I’ve been swamped with the financial report of Nova Haven for the first


    half of the year, so I didn’t make it to the engagement party. I’ll definitely be there for their wedding.”


    George yed a few rounds of chess with Carter in the study, losing every lime. Not that he was letting


    him win, Carter was just a much better yer


    “Grandpa, you’re still as sharp as ever”


    The old man lowered his eyelids, “George, you know I hate family feuds. I may be old, but as long as


    I’m alive, I like to see harmony in the family”


    George responded solemnly, “I understand, Grandpa. I’ll remember that.”


    Could Carter possibly know that it was he who had Lucian intercepted and drugged upon his return to


    the country?


    Seeing Carter’s expression, George felt a bit uneasy.

    The old man waved his hand, “I’m tired, I’ll rest a bit before dinner.”


    “III head out then.”


    As George got up and walked towards the door, Carter called him back, “Have the butler call Aidan and


    Jason. Since the whole family is here, let’s have a gathering. Let’s get the kids toe home for


    dinner.”


    “All right”


    Exiting the study, George wondered about his grandfather’s intentions. Slowly, a smirk appeared on his


    face. His assistant was careful, and Lucian had nothing on them. Even if it got to Grandpa, they had no


    evidence.


    In the evening, the Lindberg family’s servants were busily preparing dinner.


    When Miranda got home, she chatted with Allison for a bit before heading to the kitchen, with Allison


    following her..


    Miranda washed her hands and said, “Did you know, when Lucian went abroad at neen, I was


    worried he wouldn’t adapt, so I made him lots of snacks. His favorite was my cherry pie.”


    Allison also washed her hands and started preparing the ingredients. Her adept movements surprised


    Miranda, who asked, “You can cook too?”


    Allison smiled and said, “I learned from our house cook. But my taste might be a little different from


    yours.”


    Mirandaughed and replied, “Then you should make it today, Lucian and I will be the judges.”
