Chapter 109

It had been a long time since the Whitmore family hard all gathered around the discale e ther

Avery shared the latest news at home and mentioned that Hathaway i

hough

Ever since Hathaway started working, she’d used the family’s car at her daily ride, so so pra bought one for herself.

Avery grinned, “Hathaway, you’ve got a magic tongue! You said it’d be twins, and sure enough

Hathaway blushed. “What can I say, my dreams always come true

Celeste smiled shyly, her dimples showing, “I couldn’t believe it when the doctor told me

Avery chuckled, “Hathaway’s basically a fortune-teller, but-

His smile faded a bit. “Back then, our father was still around. If he knew he was about to become a grandpa, het be absolutely thrilled.”

Sylvia froze for a second, and under the table, Celeste gave Avery a sharp pinch on the thigh.

“It’s fine. He’d know.” Sylvía finally said with a calm smile. “I was thinking of setting up a small shrine at home

a few prayers. One room should be enough. What do you all think?”

The other three naturally agreed.

The next day, after the shrine was set up. Sylvia led Avery, Hathaway, and Celeste in paying their respects together.

That evening, Sylvia changed into a proper outfit. Jooking like she was about to head out.

“Mom, where are you going?” Hathaway asked.

“Come with me to the Reed residence. We’re going to demand some answers, Sylvia said.

Hathaway paused, thinking, ‘Do we really have to go to the Reed family? Isn’t this a bit much?

“Lucas can’t treat you like that. See? I’m all ready to go. Don’t worry, sweetheart.” Sylvia reassured her.

Hathaway wasn’t scared. She genuinely had no desire to go to the Reed residence.

Lucas had come by a few times, but she’d always given him the cold shoulder. But it seemed like this whole thing was really weighing on Sylvia.

If this was going to add another burden to her mom’s heart, Hathaway couldn’t let that happen.

Not wanting to upset her mom, Hathaway forced a smile and said, “Looks like I really need my mom to hack me up.”

Sylvia smiled and patted her hand, then asked Benson to bring the car around. The two of them got in and headed to the Reed residence.

At first, Sophia and Brock Reed had no idea why Sylvia and Hathaway had come over.

But once they found out, Sophia laughed and said. “It’s kids messing around

To Sophia. Lucas was one of those flashy, wild guys, young, proud, and full of energy

Guys at that age were bound to make a few dumb moves, but that was how it went. As long as the family kept him in check,

outsiders shouldn’t fuss about it or blow things out of proportion

Sophia felt Sylvia was overreacting and making a fuss over nothing

Sylvia hadn’t expected Sophia to be so blasé about it. She said, ‘Mrs Reed. I’ve always heand you don seen it for myself

Sophia gave a dismissive look

Sylvia remained perfectly composed, looking straight at the Reed couple. “Mr. Reed. Mrs. Reed Im not her to ke

scene.

“My daughter was kicked into the pool by Lucas in front of everyone. She was shocked, but what hurt hey mosty disappointment. As her mother, I need to get some answers

Brock chuckled, “Mrs. Whitmore, you know how kids can be, impulsive, accidents happen. It’s really nothing serious Vil have Lucas come by and apologize another day. Why don’t you two head back for now?”

Brock was hoping to get Sylvia and Hathaway out of the house before Alistair caught wind of any of this.

He wanted to avoid causing any drama and upsetting his son.

Their awkward, low-voiced standoff finally drew Alistair’s attention as he walked in.

Alistair leaned on his cane, his eyes sweeping over everyone in the room. “What’s going on here?” he asked in a deep voice

Sophia hurried to smooth things over, but Alistair raised his hand to stop her. “Let Mrs. Whitmore speak

Sylvia didn’t exaggerate or sugarcoat anything; she told them exactly what happened.

Alistair’s face darkened instantly, and he slammed his cane hard against the floor. “What the hell did that brat do?”

Just then, Lucas walked in.

Before he saw anyone, he heard the butler mention that Sylvia had arrived.

“Mrs. Whitmore? Avery’s mom?” Lucas asked.

“Yes, and Ms. Whitmore is here, too,” the butler replied

Lucas paused for a moment. He’d gotten back from outside, looking all wild and carefree, with his shirt collar loose and his suit jacket hanging open.

But when he heard that, he quickly buttoned up the top two buttons of his shirt and fastened his jacket.

The butler waited for him, and for some reason, the guy who’s never afraid of anything actually looked a little nervous today.

“Why are they here?” Lucas asked.

“You’ll find out when you go in, the butler replied, not about to tell him they were here to give him a hard time

When Lucas walked in, he realized Sylvia was here because of what he did last time, kicking Hathaway into the pool,

His face fell, and he sat down across from Sylvia without saying a word.

Sylvia furned her gaze to Lucas, who was sitting there with his head down, silent. Her tone was calm but firm. “Lucus, it’s normal for friends to have disagreements or arguments
