Lucian watched Penelope try to stifle a smile, leaving him a bit flustered but amused Clearing his
throat, he turned his face and suggested, “If you’re bored, feel free to roam around the yard. I’m staying
in the back, I can have the maid take you there”
In Carter’s study, George lounged on the couch and announced, “Grandpa, I’m back. I’ll be around for
a few days and gotta make another trip at the end of the month.” George’s mother was of mixed race,
giving him a handsome face with striking features. His deep set eyes, coupled with his chestnut mid
length hair, gave him a somewhat soft demeanor.
However, he also inherited the good genes of the Lindberg family, with all of the younger generations
bearing a certain resemblance
“Stay a little longer Aidan is back too. Your brothers should hang out more,” Carter Lindberg had a

businesses were divided, he made a fuss and insisted on managing the Nova Haven branch, a key
financial area for the Lindberg family.
“I know, I will,” George replied. “I brought your favorite Nova Haven pastries and authentic Nova Haven
white wine this time. My mom herself brewed the wine. She’s learned a lot during her years in Nova
Haven This year, she picked up wine brewing. You must give it a try”
“You’re such a sweetheart,” Carter nodded
“Have you met Penelope yet? Lucian’s fiancée. They just had their engagement party recently.”
“I have; she’s a striking woman. I’ve been swamped with the financial report of Nova Haven for the first
half of the year, so I didn’t make it to the engagement party. I’ll definitely be there for their wedding.”
George played a few rounds of chess with Carter in the study, losing every lime. Not that he was letting
him win, Carter was just a much better player
“Grandpa, you’re still as sharp as ever”
The old man lowered his eyelids, “George, you know I hate family feuds. I may be old, but as long as
I’m alive, I like to see harmony in the family”
George responded solemnly, “I understand, Grandpa. I’ll remember that.”
Could Carter possibly know that it was he who had Lucian intercepted and drugged upon his return to
the country?
Seeing Carter’s expression, George felt a bit uneasy.
The old man waved his hand, “I’m tired, I’ll rest a bit before dinner.”
“III head out then.”
As George got up and walked towards the door, Carter called him back, “Have the butler call Aidan and
Jason. Since the whole family is here, let’s have a gathering. Let’s get the kids to come home for
dinner.”

Exiting the study, George wondered about his grandfather’s intentions. Slowly, a smirk appeared on his
face. His assistant was careful, and Lucian had nothing on them. Even if it got to Grandpa, they had no
evidence.
In the evening, the Lindberg family’s servants were busily preparing dinner.
When Miranda got home, she chatted with Allison for a bit before heading to the kitchen, with Allison
following her..
Miranda washed her hands and said, “Did you know, when Lucian went abroad at nineteen, I was
worried he wouldn’t adapt, so I made him lots of snacks. His favorite was my cherry pie.”
Allison also washed her hands and started preparing the ingredients. Her adept movements surprised
Miranda, who asked, “You can cook too?”
Allison smiled and said, “I learned from our house cook. But my taste might be a little different from
yours.”
Miranda laughed and replied, “Then you should make it today, Lucian and I will be the judges.”
