Meanwhile, Alastair Sterling’s investigators discovered that his son had inexplicably purchased a modest three-bedroom apartment in an unremarkable neighborhood.
The report also noted he was close to a woman who worked as a teacher at a training center, and her two children called him "Daddy."
Staring at the dossier on his desk, Alastair clasped his hands behind his back and paced the study, his brow heavily furrowed in displeasure.
Just then, Sienna Sterling walked in looking for her father and was startled by the files on his desk. "Dad, are you having my brother followed?"
"Wait... isn't this little Luna?"
Alastair's frown deepened. "What, you know this little munchkin?"
Sienna answered honestly, "Dad, she's Quinn's goddaughter. How could I not know her? I saw her and her brother at Evelyn's birthday gala."
Alastair pressed on, "Then tell me, what exactly is your brother's relationship with these kids? Why are people reporting that they call him Daddy?"
"Huh? No way, why would they call Ethan that? Dad, where on earth are you hearing this?"
Sienna felt a twinge of anxiety, remembering that she had also heard a child calling him "Daddy" over the phone recently.
At the time, she hadn't known whose child it was. It wasn't until Evelyn's birthday gala, when she saw Ethan expertly and naturally scoop Luna into his arms, that the pieces began to fit together.
She had a bold suspicion: perhaps her brother's relationship with Quinn's best friend, Yara Chase, was far more complicated than anyone realized.
Could this little girl actually be Ethan's daughter?
"Never mind where I heard it. No wonder your brother rejected every single match I picked out for him without even going on a single date. Turns out, he's been hiding a secret family out there."
"Does he really have that little faith in his own father? As long as the woman comes from a clean background without any messy history, it's not like I'd outright refuse. Is it really necessary to guard against me like this?"
Sienna rolled her eyes inwardly. "Right. Save that speech for Ethan and see if he believes you."
With that, she spun on her heel and walked out of the study.
She quickly pulled out her phone and called her brother. "Ethan, bad news. Dad knows about you and Yara. He also knows you bought a three-bedroom apartment and are really close to her two kids."
"What?"
Ethan knew this day would come, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
"Understood. Thanks, Sienna."
Sienna went dead silent. That was it? Nothing else to say?

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
