NovelEnglish“No! | want those now! Great-grandpa...”
Nicholas patted Willie's hand. “There, there.”
He shot a look at Thomas.
The man had no choice but to surrender the beads to the four-year-old.
Willie barely touched them before smashing them on the floor. Beads scattered everywhere.
“Boring. Stupid things.”
The middle-aged man’s heart shattered into pieces...
But no one dared to breathe, since the Sutton Family now had only this sole heir.
Nicholas’s lineage-no one else even had a daughter-so they spoiled Willie into a little tyrant.
Willie’s parents, Edward and Kathleen, looked utterly smug.
Just then, a cool yet gentle figure walked in.
“Grandpa.”
Seeing Uncle Geoffrey's identical face, Willie immediately straightened up properly.
“Hmm, sit.”
Nicholas wore a sour expression seeing Alex.
For months, he'd deceived everyone present.
After Alex arrived, others trickled in. Nicholas still hadn't spotted Geoffrey and snapped at Heather. “Where's
Geoff?”
“On the way.”
The Sutton clan all wanted to see Geoffrey today.
How did Geoffrey-so proud-agree to be impersonated and transfer shares voluntarily?

On the road.
Geoffrey called Wayne Wayne panicked hearing he’d return to the estate alone.

SSutton members hid daggers behind smiles.
“Don’t worry, I'm no threat to them now.”
Wayne immediately understood.
Besides, Heather was at the Suttons‘-she’d never let anything happen to her son.
But Wayne still felt uneasy. The boss couldn't see, and he'd offended so many people who'd jump at the chance
to humiliate him now.
Wayne rushed out of the office to find help.
The only person he could think of was Maureen-as Alex’s wife, only she could enter the old
estate.
Fortunately, Maureen was easy to spot with both children in tow.
He found them eating at the mall food court and approached.
“Mrs. Sutton.”
Both little ones looked up at him in unison.
For a split second, Wayne felt like two mini versions of the boss were scolding him for interrupting.
Maureen glanced up, puzzled. “Wayne? What's wrong?”
“You let the boss go to the old estate alone?”
“Is that a problem?”
“Of course it is,” Wayne blurted out, heedless of the children nearby. “The boss has made plenty of enemies.
Who knows how much humiliation he might face there alone.”

Humiliation”
Aller hearing Wayne's words. Maureen remained calm.
“What's that got to do with me?”
Didn't | endure all sorts of humiliation back in the Sutton Family too?
Never saw Geoffrey lift a finger for me.
Wayne choked on his words.
He lowered his voice: “Just for saving your life before, could you help Alex?”
Maureen recalled Geoffrey handling Mr. Long's affairs for her overseas.
After a long silence, she answered: “Even if | go, what can | do? One blind, one hard of hearing- you sure | can
help him?”
Maureen meant every word-high society clans like the Suttons wouldn't spare her dignity.
“Well...” Wayne faltered.
Seeing this, Maureen assumed he’d given up and rose to pay the bill.
Wayne stopped her again: “With you there, I'd feel much easier.”
He knew Maureen's resilience meant fewer disasters at the old mansion.
Before she agreed, Ethan blurted out: “Mommy, Uncle Alex looks so pitiful abandoned. Please help him!”
Jacob couldn't fathom why his brother suddenly defended their deadbeat dad.
“Fine then. I'll take the kids hfirst.”
Maureen agreed since Ethan insisted.
Wayne promptly settled the bill and ushered them into his car.
After dropping the boys off, Maureen had Justin drive her to the ancestral estate.
Once home, Jacob couldn't help questioning Ethan:
“Why did you make Mom help that scumbag?

What if someone bullies her?”
“Bro. | wanna see the estate too. Got any ideas?”
Ethan suddenly proposed.
Realizing his scheme, Jacob immediately refused:
“No. Too dangerous.”

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained! How can we reclaim what's ours without understanding the Suttons?”
Ethan pressed with solemn determination.
In his heart, the Sutton family and their scumbag patriarch had stolen their happiness - forcing Mom into exile,
depriving them of a father, causing his illness.
“I've been there countless times. Nothing left to learn. Rest early - your health comes first.”
Jacob replied coolly before retreating to his room.
But Ethan wouldn't relent. An idea sparked.
While Jacob showered, Ethan swiped his smartwatch, searched online for Heather's secretary's number, and
dialed.
“Hello? | need Grandma Heather. This is Jacob.”
After the call connected, Ethan spoke to the secretary.
Since Jacob had told him about Heather before, Ethan knew exactly what to do.
Heather's secretary also had Jacob’s number saved, so upon receiving the call, she immediately informed
Heather.
“Grandma Heather, Happy New Year! | miss you. Could | csee you?”
Hearing the adorable voice over the phone, Heather was instantly overjoyed: “Of course! Grandma will send
someone to pick you up right away.”
