I glanced at him, unsure how to begin.It was Arnold who broke the silence. "Go ahead and speak.""Do you really want to take over completely?" I scrutinized him.He chuckled. "Seems like I'm still seen as a good-for-nothing in your eyes, and I’m just a freeloader. Am I that bad?""Not at all. It's just a bit sudden." I tried to hide my skepticism."It's time for me to take over. Grandma is getting old, and I've been quite unfilial. I've been reckless and irresponsible, but I have to step up. After all, the family can't find another successor. It's a responsibility I can't ignore."He spoke with solemnity as if burdened with a mission.I didn't expect Arnold to be quite manly when he was serious, which made me look at him in a new light. It seemed like he always had the Beringer family's responsibilities on his mind.Seeing me staring at him, he tapped my head. "What are you looking at? You’re that surprised?"I nodded with a smile. "Yeah. It's indeed surprising. I didn't expe

There were two little kids in the car, so I had to slow down.On the way, they kept asking endless questions about everything they saw, and I couldn't believe how curious they were.Finally, we arrived at the Huffman family's residence. Ava looked at the grand gate in surprise and asked, "Does Grandpa Anson live in a park?”I chuckled and glanced at the magnificent gate of the Huffman family's residence. It was towering, just like the entrance to a park.No wonder the girls were so curious. I led them inside and said, "This is Grandpa Anson's house. It's huge and pretty, right?”As we walked in, the girls kept asking questions curiously.In the central hall, we saw Anson, leisurely sitting there drinking tea. He was clearly in a good mood.Before I could say anything, Ava broke free from me and ran over, calling out, "Grandpa Anson! Mommy, Jenny, and I are here to visit you."She added, "Grandpa Anson, your house is really grand."Anson was delighted with the flattery. "Oh, my

Trinity pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "As far as I know, the old lady cherished Lucille quite a bit. Back when Lucille fell in love with your father and left the family, there was a reason for it.""A reason? Wasn't it because the old lady didn’t like that my dad was a poor man with nothing?" I questioned skeptically.Trinity shook her head. "It's not that simple. Later, Lucille's passing left the old lady devastated. That year, she almost followed her daughter's footsteps. Her health hasn't been great since then.”I listened silently, recalling the plump figure of the old lady in the photo I had seen."Do you know why she still loved and cherished someone she knew was fake?"I shook my head.Trinity sighed, "It's her wishful thinking.""How did she know the girl was fake?" I asked.Trinity said, "I told her and showed her your photo."I was surprised. "Did she believe you?""Yeah," Trinity sighed, then said helplessly, "It would be better if you remembered the past.

Trinity glanced at my belly."You really have everything going for you. So that’s why this little girl calls herself a big sister. I envy you," she sighed."Well, hurry up and find someone you love to have a baby with. It won't affect you being the head of the Huffman family," I quickly suggested to Trinity.I knew Trinity didn't have any friends. I was her first friend, and I genuinely meant what I said.A hint of shyness flashed across Trinity's face, though it vanished in an instant. But it was a genuine expression.Trinity had changed. I stared at her face, wondering what had caused such a change in her.What had she encountered in Yare? Or was this her true self? I had to admit, I didn't know her very well.Just then, a servant knocked on the door, inviting us to lunch.Trinity quickly took Ava's hand. "Let's go eat, little girl."I was a little hungry.On the way to the dining room, Ava chattered away like a little bird, amusing Trinity endlessly. I was pleasantly surpr

As the car pulled up to Pleca Park, Atlas got someone to carry the two little ones back to their rooms to continue sleeping. We thought that my father would also be in the middle of a nap right now.We sat in the living room. Atlas saw that I was silent, and he might have been afraid that I was upset, so he pulled me into his arms and whispered, "Grandpa says he wants to see you, but I'm sure Celine is involved in this. There are many things I need to clarify."After a pause, he continued, "I've changed my focus. I’ll take everything that belongs to the Pierce family back, including our house!”"Are you saying you want to reclaim the Pierce Corporation too?" I asked, looking at his serious and handsome face uncertainly. "That would mean kicking Celine out of the Pierce family. Do you think your grandpa will agree to that?""It's not up to him. No one can stop me." Atlas's tone was very firm.I didn't doubt Atlas's abilities, but just reclaiming everything from the Pierce family wo
