“Nothing, nothing. Anyway, I can introduce you to someone else.”

Gavin pinched the bridge of his nose. “Who is it this time?”

Aiden happily piled on. “Grandma, just set it up. If he won’t go, I’ll go with him.”

“It’s that young doctor’s best friend.” Eleanor thought for a second. “Chloe, I think her name is…”

Gavin coughed abruptly, a deeply amused look sliding toward Aiden. “You’ll go with me?”

“Alden’s face lost all color. He hadn’t expected the joke to backfire so spectacularly.

Cleanor, unaware of their silent exchange, continued. “she seems like a cheerful girl. I asked, she’s single. Heard she’s a lawyer, too.”

‘Grandma!” Aiden lunged, snatched the phone from Gavin, and cleared his throat. “That was a joke! Let me tell you, Aiden’s relationship is actually very stable now. He’ll have your future granddaughter–in–law home to meet you in no time!”

“We have a meeting. Can’t talk now! Drive safely!” He hung up in a rush and tossed the phone back.

Gavin caught it easily, giving him a sidelong look. “You lie smoother than I do these days.”

Learned from the best.” Aiden wasn’t apologetic in the least. “Besides, after all these years of your… persistent one–sided devotion, isn’t that ‘stable‘ enough?”

‘Piss off.” Gavin bit out, irritation simmering.

Elara’s POV

Back inside, I found Chloe had already cleaned up the dining area. I couldn’t help but tease her. “Getting a head start on being ‘Dad of the Year“?”

‘Obviously.” Chloe finished washing her hands and collapsed on the sofa. “I can’t just sit around and let a pregnant woman do all the housework. I’d get struck by lightning.”

Her mother was pregnant with her brother when Chloe was four. In the fragments of memory she could still recall, her father was always sprawled on the couch watching TV, while her mother, heavily pregnant, mopped floors, did laundry, cooked. If the food wasn’t to his taste, he’d yell.

Chloe had decided long ago she’d never marry a man like her father. And last night, after learning I was keeping the baby, she was determined I wouldn’t live a ife like her mother’s. Her best friend should be happily anticipating a new life, well taken care of.

What Gavin couldn’t–or wouldn’t–do, she would.

Don’t say things like that.” I hated when she tempted fate. “Seeing how good you are, whatever’s out there will let you live to be a hundred.”

‘d just picked up my phone to text Eleanor a thank you when it rang.

The caller ID said Victoria.

Frowning, I noticed she’d already sent several unread WeChat messages. I answered. Victoria’s voice, tight with fury, came through instantly.

Elara. Playing dead on purpose, are you?”

Lately, Victoria had been trying every which way to convince Zane not to go against the Windsors. To no avail. She didn’t know what kind of spell this bitch had

cast on her son.

My brow knitted. “In such a hurry… is the Grayson fortune about to collapse?”

“The fear of exactly that–of Zane provoking the Windsors into ruining them–was what drove her. My words made her see red. “Keep talking like that, and I’ll go ask old man Colton what kind of student he raised! Divorced and still clinging like a ghost!”

Chapter 298

In the past, threats from people like her tertified me. Any countermove had to be weighed, every consequence considered, terrined that the slightest punchack would bring chaos down on me and everyone around me..

This time, I wasn’t afraid. I actually laughed. “Go ahead. If you do, I guarantee the Grayson family’s dirty laundry will be public knowledge by tonight

It was just a threat.

Who was afraid of whom?

Did she really think the Grayson family was so clean, so shove reproach?

Hearing this, Victoria slammed her hand against the car seat, barking at the driver to go faster. “Just you wait!!” she snarled.

hadn’t expected this to be what she meant by ‘wait.

n under ten minutes, Victoria was at my door, several bodyguards flanking her, looking determined to teach me a lesson I’d never forget.

With the muscle behind her, her attitude was pure contempt. “Whether that drug of yours even makes it to market is still up in the air. Do you really think you tave the capital to go up against me?” Amelia had sworn to the Windsors she wouldn’t let my drug succeed. This bitch really thought she had everything under

control.

My gaze was icy. “Did you come here just to argue?”

“My calm retorts seemed to short–circuit her anger. She remembered her purpose. “Zane is set on opposing the Windsors for your sake. Call him right now.
