Since Maxwell’s gone, someone from the Zelinsky family has to take his place. You share my blood, so I’m choosing you over those who don’t,” Ezra stated slowly, his gaze fixed on Magnus.

Magnus‘ eyes lit up with a glint of excitement, a sly smile tugging at his lips. “If I were to inherit the family, wouldn’t that go against your deal with my mother?”

Ezra chuckled, a rare sound from him. “That’s exactly why you’ve impressed me. You’re sharper than Maxwell.”

“Father, tell me niore about that deal between you and her,” Magnus requested with genuine respect, his eyes unwavering. It was as if he were determined to uncover the truth, no matter what it cost him.

Ezra’s tone became more intense. “To do that, we need one of us in the presidential seat. That’s when we’ll be at the top.”

He paused, his gaze growing more focused. “Thus, the heir must have a pure bloodline. That’s why you and Hattie are excellent but still not enough to surpass the ideal bloodline.”
