Chapter 1068

Elliot did not ask ‘who do you want’ but instead, “What if I don’t?”

Henry laughed awkwardly. “I wonder how Mom would feel if she was still alive and saw us turn against each other.”

“Don’t put pressure on me using Mom’s name!” Elliot scolded. “You and your son killed her. You have no right to

bring that up!”

“I have no right, you say? Where do you think my right came from?” Henry was breathing noticeably heavily. “At

least I’m her biological son! What about you, Elliot? How long do you think you can keep up this lie? You’ve already

taken over my brother’s life. Are you honestly going to imprison him illegally for the rest of your life?!”

“Imprison him?” Elliot was stunned by those two words. “And you’re saying that I took over his life? Do you think

Mom’s hands are clean? She was the one who created this in the first place!”

“Even though she switched Adrian with you, I can’t continue perpetuating her mistakes. More so now that she’s

dead. Hand Adrian over to me! He’s my brother, and I’m not dead yet! You have no business bullying him!”

“He’s just a silly kid. What use would you have for someone like that?” Elliot retorted. “Do you even have the

financial ability to be supporting someone who doesn’t have a job? You can’t even guarantee your livelihood and

that of your son’s. You only want Adrian so you can threaten me, right?”

Henry saw red. “Ask yourself whether I’ve ever treated you badly in all my years as your elder brother. I haven’t! I

just want to reunite with my biological younger brother, so why won’t you let me? What grounds are you stopping

me on?! You’re sitting at the top of the Sterling Group. Why would you be scared of an ordinary person like me? Do

you really think I wouldn’t find some other way of threatening you even if I don’t bring him back with me?!” He

roared.

The atmosphere in the living room was unbelievably tense, as if everything was hanging by a thread.

“It’s still possible for you to continue using this ‘Elliot’ identity, but please just let me bring Adrian home.” Henry

lowered his voice with the intention of negotiating. “I… I just found out about it two days ago. My mind is all over

the place right now, APIMKA;7 I don’t want to think about anything else for the time being. I just want to bring home

my biological younger brother.”

Memories of the past appeared in Elliot’s mind when he saw Henry’s deflated expression.

He had never been close to Henry due to the huge age gap, but they were later able to live in harmony under their

mother’s guidance.

Although they had long known that they were not biologically related, the affection built up over the past few

decades was still genuine.

Elliot could just ignore Henry’s request to bring Adrian away, but in doing so he would anger Henry.

If Henry genuinely wanted to threaten him, there was no shortage of methods he could use to do

So.

Avery went to school later that afternoon.

When it came to comforting Hayden, action spoke louder than words.

After Avery arrived at the school, she contacted Daniel’s father through the contact information provided by the

teacher.

Daniel had suspected that the teacher gave Hayden a high score and deliberately lowered his score, resulting in his

grades being inferior to Hayden’s. If that matter was not resolved, Daniel would always use that against Hayden.

The teacher had assured Avery that Hayden was not given such a high score on purpose.

Avery then asked the teacher to provide a breakdown of Daniel and Hayden’s answers in the qualifying round in

front of the entire class, such as the reasons why Hayden scored higher than Daniel and whether the grading was

unfair.

After the teacher explained the reasons for the grading, she said, “Hayden’s father, Mr. Foster, invested money in

our school to bring our curriculum in line with international standards. This move benefited not only Hayden but

every single student in the class. With his financial resources and status, he could’ve just allowed Hayden to bypass

the qualifying tournament and given him a shortcut to the competition.”

Daniel’s father’s cheeks turned red and he said to Avery, “Since the teacher has already explained that the grading

was fair and just, I will hereby apologize to you for Daniel.”

“Your son’s words were very hurtful to my son, and I expect him to give a proper and personal apology to my son.

You treasure your son, and so do I. With all due respect, this is a very poor display of EQ by your son. When my son

got second place in the past, he never said anything bad about your son,” Avery did not mince her words.

Daniel’s father’s face soured a little. Daniel wiped away his tears and said, “I didn’t mean to.”
