NovelEnglishChapter 1696:
Still, he managed a forced chuckle, muttering, “Yes. Daniela, we weren't in the right state when we harmed your
mother. Regret’s been eating at us for years. Now that we're family, could you possibly spare us?” Brad observed
Daniela, gauging her reaction.
Ethan, eyes still on the paper, said flatly, “Brad, that’s not how it works. Everyone should face the consequences
after making mistakes, or others might follow suit. Daniela has a generous spirit, but it's no excuse to exploit it.
Letting the legal system handle this sounds most impartial.”
With his shares secured in Daniela’s company, Ethan felt anchored.
He added with gravity, “And besides, calling someone ‘family’ shouldn't justify burdening them unfairly. Once, we
leaned on Hamilton for the sexcuse—and that was unjust. We should live in peace but not at the expense of
fairness. Isn't that right, Hamilton?”
Ethan shot Hamilton a warm glance.
Hamilton gave a grunt in reply, but his eyes never strayed from Brad.
Brad squeezed out a pained smile. “Exactly... That's what | meant. | was going to say the sthing.”
As he spoke, he nearly bit down in frustration.

Wordlessly, Brad stared at Ethan, who returned a cheerful grin and asked, “Want to add anything, Brad?” He held
out the writing tool and the red ink pad.
“Just place your signature and print here.”

Brad hovered over the document, then glanced up at the circle around him.
Daniela watched silently.
Cedric remained expressionless, his stare icy.
Carol had her arms tucked, amusement glinting in her stare.
Hamilton's jaw was tight, eyes fixed on Brad's every movement.
Brad felt cornered. He clutched the pen but couldn’t bring it down. “Well... Ethan, your penmanship still hasn't
improved. See? A few spelling flaws here and there.” He turned to Daniela. “Daniela, this won't do. Let me
recover a bit—once my elbow feels better, I'll draft you something heartfelt myself. A sincere apology should
look the part.”
Ethan nearly retorted about the supposed errors, but Daniela had already turned to the television, answering in a
distant tone, “Fine. I'll wait for that document then.”
