“Exactly. Since when do we hand things over to outsiders?” A distant Myers relative muttered under their breath. The voice was low, but everyone in the room caught it.

“Charles, it’s not just us saying this now. Look at what people are saying online–they’re criticizing your relationship with Chloe. The rumors are ugly… They’re even suggesting that… maybe the child is also…”

The sentence trailed off, but the implication hung heavy in the air.

The tension in the room thickened. Faced with public backlash, people had started questioning Charles‘ judgment. The respect they once held for him had evaporated, replaced by dissatisfaction and open complaint.

Charles studied the ones who’d spoken. They’d been with Myers Group for years. He understood why they’d say such things.

Faced with an uncomfortable truth, this kind of reaction was predictable.

Any reasonable person would assume everything at Myers Group should go to Arthur.

But could Arthur–with his hesitant nature–really handle all this?

One failure was one thing. But every time a decision needed making, he wavered, pulled back, couldn’t commit. That flaw ran deep.

If the company were truly in his hands, would it even survive?

For years, the respect people had for Myers Group came largely from him–the old man. If he were gone, Arthur left alone… how would Arthur face what came next?

Arthur had no children of his own. How long could he really hold things together?

And these distant relatives now, shouting their support for Arthur… If the truth ever came out, would they still feel the same?

“Arthur. Charles lifted his gaze. “Do you also think I was wrong?”

Arthur hadn’t expected his grandfather to question him like this, right now. He couldn’t read the emotion in his voice, but in that moment, he felt the weight of his grandfather’s authority–the kind that could make a final decision at any second.

“Grandfather, I…

“Yes or no. Charles‘ voice grew even calmner.

Arthur fell silent. He couldn’t answer. Something stirred deep inside him, but he didn’t give it words.

Yes or no. Did he disagree with his grandfather’s choices? Of course.

He was the eldest grandson of the Myers family, the only direct heir. Yet his grandfather had handed everything to Chloe.

If Chloe were still his wife, if Charles had entrusted everything to them together–to manage the family jointly, raise Robert as the heir–he might have accepted that.

But his grandfather hadn’t done that.

No discussion. No warning. Charles had just arranged for everything to go to Chloe. Arthur felt like an outsider–like an employee who looked like he was in charge but had no real power.

And Robert… Was there really no connection between them?

The more he thought about what had come out online recently, the stranger it all seemed.

Robert’s personality wasn’t like his at all. The boy was stubborn, impulsive, never careful or measured. He was more like Chloe. Nothing like him.

Arthur almost laughed. Laughed at himself. Why had that thought even crossed his mind?

Doubting whether Robert was his child…

They’d married because she was pregnant. That was the reason.

If the child wasn’t his, whose could it be?

He thought back to that night. Truthfully, he didn’t remember much. He’d been drunk–completely out of it. No idea what happened. When he woke up, Chloe was beside him.
