Millie shook her head, clearly not in the mood to sleep.
After ensuring Millie’s safe arrival at her hand surveying the villa to confirm no one suspicious was around, Derek returned to the old house.
Back at the old house, Freyja stood by the door, noticing the dark and oppressive sky.
“Ahem…”
In the hall, Claudia covered her mouth to suppress a cough. Freyja quickly returned to her side.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” After a moment, Claudia waved her away.
“Allowto assist you to bed. The doctor has said you should rest.”

“I’m not in the mood to lie down now,” Claudia sighed, her eyes clouded with concern as she looked outside.
“Freyja, what I feared most has finally cto pass Freyja considered this and sought to comfort her, “Mrs. Thomas, you needn’t worry about conflicts between the young men. They will handle themselves. Every prominent family in Preagend is like this. There is no way to quench human desires unless they Learn to govern themselves.”
Claudia reflected on the hospital scene once more, her brow furrowing.
“Today, when Jonah declared that a son was inferior to grandchildren, I was terrified. Do you believe he’s uncovered the secret?”
Freyja’s loyalty to Claudia had never wavered. When Victor brought Jonah back and replaced the servants, only Freyja remained.
“I doubt it. Jonah may not be your biological son, but you have always treated him fairly. You never struck him or berated him and provided a comfortable life. He had no reason to confront you today.
Remember, he was the one who initially sought to harm Marcus. Now, he’s facing the consequences.”
Claudia shook her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Whether he knows the secret or not isn’t my concern. What botheredwas the loathing in his eyes. When Victor returned with him, I felt a sense of betrayal, but I considered the child innocent, regardless of his mother’s deceitful actions. Yet, Jonah has always been a quiet and independent thinker, unlike the brash and overbearing Leon’s father.”
Claudia thumped her chest, a realization dawning that Jonah had been concealing his true nature for years.
“Don’t question yourself. Greed knows no bounds, and people’s desire for power is never satisfied. What you did was to preserve the Thomas family’s honor. You have not wronged anyone. Speople simply let their greed get the better of them.”
Freyja’s empathy for Claudia was palpable, understanding how raising an ungrateful person Like Jonah must have pained her.
Suddenly, the sky opened up, unleashing a torrential downpour.
Outside, Marcus was kneeling in the rain, motionless, while Derek stood in the pavilion, fists clenched. Was Mr. Thomas’s recovery possible?
Freyja glanced out, her worry evident. Marcus might have been rebellious at times, but he was quick to acknowledge his mistakes on serious matters, a trait that comforted Claudia.
An hour later, Claudia gestured dismissively.
