Daniel spoke for a long time. It was only then that Elena and Amanda finally learned the dark secret hidden within the family.
In her youth, Old Mrs. Whelan had taken two lives.
And one of those lives belonged to Daniel's father—their grandfather.
No wonder the old woman carried such a heavy, vicious aura. She had always been overbearing, ruling the Whelan family with an iron fist. No one dared to defy her, knowing the consequences would be severe. She had murdered someone with her own hands and taken absolute control of the household. Given her history, her ruthless temper and tactics suddenly made twisted sense.
"She kept so many secrets buried in her heart," Amanda sighed.
"Yes, and she was pitiful in her own way. Looking back, my father failed her. But I was innocent, and I carried the blame for decades. Still, that is all in the past now. Whatever resentment was left has faded away with her death. I've already let it go."
Daniel shook his head sadly. "It's just that, right before she died, she asked me to take charge of the Whelan Group and look after Edward and Gavin. But you saw how they acted. Mom's body was barely cold, and all they cared about was the money. Seeing that as their older brother truly broke my heart."
Elena's eyes flickered as the pieces clicked into place.
"Dad, Grandmother played you!"
