Chapter 86 Old Grudge, New Argument

She muted the group chat right away. Larrisa worried that if she kept reading, the next time she opened it. she would find out her mentor had married her off to someone else.

At the same time, at the family estate, Leonard had been waiting in the main hall for over an hour. A servant came back with a message: Truman Sowle was taking a nap.

Leonard could only stay patient and keep waiting.

It had been two years since he last stepped into the estate.

Two years ago, Isaac received a message about Larissa and rushed out in a panic. On the way, he was in a car accident.

Later, Leonard investigated the matter himself. That was when he discovered the truth. It had been planned by his brother, Roy Sowle.

The goal was simple. Roy wanted his most capable nephew gone so power would fall into his hands.

Leonard did not let it go.

He stormed over, beat Roy badly, and even called the police.

The incident caused a huge stir at the time.

Back then, Truman was still the true family head. He believed it was a family matter and should not be made public.

Truman forced Leonard to apologize to Roy; he also arranged for Roy to be released on bail.

How could Leonard not feel hatred after seeing such favoritism?

He watched the man responsible for his son’s accident walk free. In anger, Leonard resigned as CEO of the Sowles Capital and sent himself to manage the Marcrest branch instead.

That was also when he heard rumors that the mysterious Wonder Doctor had appeared in Marcrest.

Now, standing here again, everything felt unreal, as if a lifetime had passed.

If Larissa had not returned home, he would never have come back here.

Now that he was standing here again, even the household staff had all been replaced.

When they saw him, they didn’t show even basic respect.

Since he walked in, no one had offered him a drink.

A bitter smile touched his lips.

Honestly, Leonard wanted to leave.

However, he understood that only by officially adding Larissa’s name to the family record would the family truly accept her.

And the wealth and connections built by the family over generations could give his daughter a better future.

He wanted to give her the best. Even if it meant he had to swallow some humiliation, it didn’t matter.

Just then, Roy walked in, striding like he owned the place.

The servants immediately rushed over, serving him water and pulling out a chair for him.

Roy had heard his elder brother had come back, so he rushed to the estate on purpose.

Roy had replaced all these servants. They were all his people..

Even now, Truman had no idea Leonard had returned.

Roy looked at Leonard and let out a mocking smile.

“Well, well. If it isn’t my brother with a backbone. Two years ago, when you left, you sure had a lot of pride. You drove Dad pretty mad. What now? You still have the nerve to show up here? What, are you here to fight me for the inheritance?”

His voice was full of contempt and disdain.

“My business has nothing to do with you. I want to see father.”

Leonard’s voice was calm, but his eyes were steady and firm.

“You want to see father?” Roy let out a cold laugh.

“You think you’re still the respected heir like before? Like you rule this house? You’re nothing but a loser who got kicked out. What right do you have to see him? You better give up now. Father won’t see you. If you’re smart, get out of here now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Roy’s words were like a sharp blade, cutting deep into his heart.

But Leonard did not collapse under the mockery.

He straightened his back and said, “Say whatever you want. I came here to see Father today. If I don’t see him … I’m not leaving.”
