Chapter 1409
Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, Sheldon hesitated for a long while with his phone in hand before he finally made the call to Bernard.
“Just giving you a heads-up. Yates has me playing the away game, which means I’ll be on the opposing side.”
It seemed Bernard had already anticipated Yates’ move, and his reaction was muted upon hearing the news.
“If you’re willing to switch sides, you could just sit back and watch the fireworks.”

Bernard had called him “uncle” before without much thought, but this time it felt decidedly different, as if he were truly speaking to his own flesh and blood.
Sheldon wanted to say more, but Bernard hung up. Lost in thought, Sheldon was staring at the screen when the bedroom door swung open. Robin Spencer stood there, arms crossed, leaning against the doorframe.
“Uncle, you’re the one they call 1-4, Mr. Quartus, right?”
Caught red-handed, Sheldon was momentarily startled, then brushed past him nonchalantly, heading out of the bedroom.
