Chapter 88 The Condition

He’d only blame them for being useless, for failing to cripple Leonard.

A lost pawn was nothing. As long as he had money, he could replace it with as much as he wanted.

Truman let out a cold snort and stopped paying them any attention, turning instead to Leonard and Roy.

“Roy, you can leave. Leonard, come with me to the study.”

Truman’s voice carried unquestionable authority.

“Dad…”

Roy stared at him in disbelief.

Is he really gonna forgive Leonard?

A sudden sense of danger crept into his chest.

“Roy, go. Are you not listening to me now?”

Even at 70, Truman’s voice was steady and powerful, his eyes sharp and commanding.

This was the presence of someone who had held power his entire life.

No matter how unwilling Roy felt, he could only turn and leave.

In the study, Truman had someone bring in a pot of coffee and sat beside the chessboard.

“Leonard, it’s been a long time since we’ve played. Sit, play a game with me.”

Leonard nodded and took the seat across from him, and the game began.

The study was quiet, filled only with the soft clicks of chess pieces touching the board.

After a long while, Truman finally spoke, “I didn’t expect your chess to get this good. I really am getting

Leonard said calmly, “You’ve still got it, Dad. I just got lucky.”

Truman said, “I always thought that if I didn’t go looking for you, you’d never come back on your own. So what changed? What made you willing to come back?”

A year later, Truman sent his most trusted aide to find Leonard, but Leonard refused every time, unwilling to return to Eldercrown.

As Roy’s ambition kept growing and his own health kept declining, his regret only deepened.

Because he didn’t know if he’d ever get another chance to make things right.

He never expected Leonard to show up at the Sowle Estate on his own today.

“Tomorrow’s your 70th birthday. Even if I’m the worst son, I still have to come to wish you a happy birthday.

Leonard’s voice was cold, with none of the warmth or closeness he once had.

Leonard had become like this because of him.

Truman let out a quiet sigh.

“I’m glad you came back. It means a lot to me.

I’ve kept the chairman’s position open for you. Do you want it back?”

Leonard said, “Roy told me he’s the chairman now. Since you already made your decision, I’ll respect it.”

Back then, no matter how much Truman valued him, he was only ever the general manager.

Now Roy had become chairman.

In just two years, everything had changed.

Truman opened his mouth, wanting to explain.

But in his haste, he suddenly broke into a violent coughing fit.

Leonard frowned slightly, stood up, and gently patted his back.
