heodore found himself momentarily speechless, astonished by Adrian’s words.

“Oh, you see, Wilfred, the third son of the Jovanni family, married Catalina, the daughter of the

Chadwick family. Interestingly, Catalina’s brother, Amiri, and his family met a tragic end while they were

out, and their only daughter has been missing ever since. It has been many years, and it is likely that

she might have passed away,” Adrian explained.

Observing Theodore’s intent to light another cigarette, Adrian swiftly intercepted it, cautioning, “Please

refrain from excessive smoking. Lately, you have been looking increasingly unhealthy.”

Theodore no longer smoked. He crossed his long legs and leaned back against the sofa chair. Weary,

he pinched his nose and urged Adrian, “Continue. Why doesn’t Mitchel bear the Jovanni sumame?”

“It’s rather straightforward, really. At that time, Catalina was pregnant and gave birth to a child. To

ensure the continuation of the Chadwick family lineage, they made a decision. Their firstborn son would

bear his mother’s surname and be adopted by his deceased brother.

Due to the Jovani family having numerous boys, his grandfather didn’t think much of this and agreed to

the arrangement. The other relatives did not object either.

They even chuckled in secret, knowing that Mitchel did not possess the privilege of inheritance. This

implies that Catalina and Mitchel willingly withdrew from the competition for the family’s inheritance.”

Adrian chuckled, pausing for effect. “Now, care to guess what happened next?”

Theodore arched an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in his gaze. “Then Mitchel became a medical genius?”

“you, my friend, possess a sharp intellect indeed.” A playful smile tugged at

Adrian’s lips as he assumed the role of a masterful storyteller. Patting his thigh lightly, he spoke in a

whimsical tone. “Mitchel, with a surname distinct from his grandfather’s extensive lineage, emerged as

the most exceptional talent in the realm of medicine. Mitchel’s grandfather, filled with regret, yearned

for his grandson to reclaim the family name. Naturally, the Chadwick family vehemently opposed this

proposition, as Mitchel had been adopted into their family. So these two families have recently found

themselves at odds, their relationship teetering on the precipice of rupture.”

Theodore scoffed in disdain, his disdain evident. “How absurd to engage in such trivial quarrels.” With a

touch of derision, he mused upon the increasingly foolish behavior of the old and wealthy clans.

“As for why Mitchel finds himself toiling away as a doctor in the obscure confines of Eleymond’s small

hospital, I cannot say,” Adrian pondered aloud. “Perhaps he sought an experiential journey through life.

Nevertheless, there is no denying Mitchel’s brilliance in the field of medicine, particularly in the realm of

neuroscience.” He smacked his lips appreciatively, raising his pinky finger as he sipped his coffee with

elegance.

Theodore paid little attention to this display and inquired, “And why is Ariana here, by Mitchel’s side?”

“I chanced upon Tyler’s new crew assembling on the top floor,” Adrian replied. “Your wife seems to be

accompanying him. Beyond that, I am unaware of any further details.” He shrugged nonchalantly,

secretly reveling in Ariana’s knack for provoking Theodore’s ire.

A shadow fell over Theodore’s countenance as he realized that Ariana could not have obtained the

invitation on her own. It had to be Mitchel who had brought her into this circle. When had they grown so

intimate?

Theodore seethed with annoyance, a tempest brewing within him. Finally, he grasped the root of his

animosity towards Mitchel. Like two hungry wolves eyeing a prime piece of meat, both Mitchel and

Tyler coveted Ariana’s affection.

While Tyler was a mere puppy and posed no threat to him, Mitchel stood as formidable as Theodore

himself, making him a challenging predicament to handle.

“Cease your ruminations, for Ariana is your lawfully wedded wife. You entered into matrimony lawfully, it

is true. Even if there were any connection between her and Mitchel, they…”

“How dare she!” Adrian’s words were rudely interrupted by Theodore, his eyes brimming with a raw

intensity he struggled to contain. Memories of Ariana’s involvement with Mitchel flooded his mind,

stoking the fires of anger within him.

Adrian recoiled, realizing his misstep, and hastened to amend his words. “That was me bluffing. Ariana

possesses principles and integrity. She would not deceive you behind your back, as long as you both

remain wedded.”

Theodore remained silent, his countenance gloomy and troubled.
