Kane took Skyler to his room, and they immersed themselves in the world of robots.
Jessica, with Hanson in tow, headed to the study.
"I'm not sure what Leopold has planned, but I think having Skyler recognized during the Ancestral Ceremony is more than appropriate. As long as Skyler's identity isn't restored, I'm always going to be uneasy." Jessica spoke with gravity, "Did Skyler ever mention to you that he has a twin brother named Geoffrey?" Hanson paused, a fleeting and indescribable look crossing his eyes, "Did Skyler tell you that? Is he having another episode?" "An episode? What kind of illness does he have?" asked Jessica.
Hanson sighed, "Ever since the accident when he injured his head, he developed a delusional disorder. He keeps saying he has a brother named Geoffrey. Tanya and | have consulted numerous doctors and managed to keep his condition under control. Now that he's alone at Elysium, he probably forgot his medication and is relapsing." Jessica looked at him sternly, "How can you be so sure Geoffrey is a figment of Skyler's imagination and not a real person?" Hanson waved his hand dismissively, "Tanya only gave birth to him, and how could there possibly be a twin brother?" "When Tanya gave birth, the Heninger family wasn't present, were they?" probed Jessica.
Hanson fell silent. After a moment, he replied, "Indeed, we weren't there. Tanya loves to travel, even with a baby on the way. She went into early labor while on a trip. | got there afterward, but the doctors had records of the birth. If she had twins, we would've known." Jessica spoke slowly, "With enough money, what record can't be altered?" She pulled out the threatening text messages Geoffrey had sent Skyler.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"These messages were sent from an international burner phone. If Geoffrey is just a figment of Skyler's imagination, how could he send messages to himself?" A sharp spasm crossed Hanson's heart. "Why has Skyler never shownthese messages?" "If you don't believe in him, how can he trust you?" sighed Jessica, "I've found sleads. The sperson who tried to poison Leopold this tis connected to an incident six years ago, likely Geoffrey. He's established an organization called AK Group, headquartered in the Verdecalma. | want Skyler to rejoin the Stirling family, but once he does, his life will be in danger. Geoffrey could eliminate him at any moment to take his place." Hanson felt a storm brewing inside him, overwhelming and relentless.
"Do you suspect Tanya is involved with this organization?" Jessica massaged her temples, "I don't know, and | hope not. We share the smother; how could we turn on each other?" Hanson's fists clenched slowly, "I will get to the bottom of this." He would not allow any family member to act against the family's interests.
Upstairs, Kane summoned an Al robot.
"Skyler, this is a robot | designed specifically for your SkyWill Studio. His nis Adam Five. He's an expert in cultivation and can help you breed exotic insects and grow unique fungi." "That's amazing," Skyler clapped excitedly, eager to take the robot home.
Hanson approached and patted Skyler's head, "Skyler, | have sbusiness to attend to and must head back.
Do you want to cwith me, or would you like to stay and play a bit longer?" Skyler replied, "I think I'll stay and play a bit more before going back." Hanson nodded and left alone. He needed to gauge Tanya's reaction first.
