Chapter 2843


    “Master Nn has returned!”


    The staff buzzed with surprise, their relief palpable after the suffocating tension that had gripped the


    mansion just moments before. Yet to their astonishment, the matriarch insisted everyone leave the


    parlor upon Nn’s arrival.


    The servants, well-trained in the art of discretion, didn’t question the family’s decision and quietly


    withdrew.


    “What’s got into you, Granny? You’re all furrowed brows. Have I been away too much recently? I


    thought I’ve been pretty diligent about visiting.”


    Nn flopped casually onto the couch beside the olddy, his demeanor as carefree as ever.


    His mother Aline’s frown deepened at his nonchnt attitude.


    “What’s with this approach of yours?” she chided.


    Nn tugged at his tie, weary from a day trapped in his business suit. It was only at home that he could


    finally unwind, “What attitude should I have? You all seem so wound up. What’s the big deal?”


    “Shouldn’t we be worried? There’s a video circting using you of indiscretions, and a certain


    gentleman is demanding you take responsibility for his daughter! Exin yourself,” his father Palmer


    demanded, his face sour with anger.


    “Don’t be so harsh. We can’t just assume it’s Nn’s fault, and that footage could very well be


    doctored,” Aline defended. She had raised Nn single-handedly; no one kne etter than she the kind of


    man her son was. He would never be involved in such a s


    “I know exactly what kind of person he is, and that’s exactly why I’m shocked a disappointed. Whatever

    “I say, they’re just trying to hit a jackpot with us. If there was any real affection betw them, it might be a


    different story, but there’s none! How can we let Nn marry the That would be irresponsible to her as


    well,” Nn’s grandfather Preston interjected, a the grandmother nodded in agreement.


    “Exactly. No matter what’s happened, we’llpensate as needed, but we can’t treat marriage as a


    joke. Two people with no love between them can’t be pushed together. Maybe we should ask what the


    Tanner family wants, meet their demands within reason, Aline suggested, looking up at Nn, who


    seemed utterly unconcerned.


    “You’re all getting worked up over nothing. I haven’t done anything untoward. So, let’s not get ahead of


    ourselves. I’ll handle this situation, and I assure you our family won’t be dragged into this mess,” Nn


    reassured.


    Aline fretted, “Still, we can’t ignore that the girl is a victim in all this. How else would her own father use


    such a video to ckmail us? Perhaps I should meet with her.”
