Lizetta hadn't expected her grandfather to be so considerate of Remington's ego.
It proved that Nelson had truly and completely accepted him back into the family.
She glanced at Remington, who cocked an eyebrow with an infuriatingly smug expression.
"We discussed it, and we're both in total agreement," Lizetta reassured him.
Over the phone, Nelson practically rubbed his hands together in sheer joy.
Truthfully, he had been obsessively brainstorming names the moment he found out his great-grandson was alive.
However, he knew Joy's return was a miracle and that the boy was cherished equally by both dynasties.
He felt obligated to offer a polite refusal first.
"Oh, no, I'm too old-fashioned. Whatever I pick probably won't match modern tastes. You two are the parents; you should be the ones to decide."
Hearing the hesitation, Remington seamlessly took over the conversation.
"Nelson, modern trends are terrible. If we let people our age do it, the kid will end up with a painfully generic name like ten other boys in his class. You're a man of immense culture and profound legacy. Whatever timeless, elegant name you bestow upon him will undoubtedly set him up for an extraordinary future."
Lizetta stared at Remington in sheer disbelief as he delivered the flawless monologue.
She had no idea he was this devastatingly good at kissing up to her grandfather.
He laid it on so thick, but it was so eloquent that even she felt incredibly flattered just listening to it.
Predictably, Nelson completely fell for it, his next words bubbling with joy.
"Don't think a little flattery will win me over, boy. I'm still not letting you anywhere near my granddaughter or great-grandson if you mess up again."

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring?
