Richard’s eyes practically sparkled with excitement, and Vic suddenly understood.

He glanced down at Yvonne, snug in his arms, all soft and adorable. His grip instinctively tightened around her as a small smirk played on his lips.

‘Grandpa is thinking about his dan

But knowing her, she would probably end up leading the whole pack.

For years, no one in the family wanted anything to do with Grandpa’s “private zoo.” He was too old to manage it alone, but he never stopped hoping to find someone to take over.

At every family gathering, he would secretly size everyone up, picking out his potential successor.

And now, he had his eyes set on a three–year–old.

Vic sighed. He would have to warn his dad later, make sure they kept a close eye on Yvonne at the Adler estate. Otherwise, Grandpa might just snatch her up and start training her.

Stepping aside, Vic chuckled. “Grandpa, I’m gonna go talk to my dad. Don’t forget to take some rest later.”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” Richard waved him off, too busy plotting to notice Vic’s amusement.

Vic carried Yvonne back toward their yard, but just as they reached the house, Jeremy came limping out.

He moved like his joints didn’t work properly; stiff–legged, arms awkwardly hanging at his sides like he had no clue where to put them.

His butt hurt like hell, but there was no way he was gonna walk around holding it, that would just make things worse. So instead, he hobbled toward his room in the most awkward way possible.

If anyone saw him like this, they would never let him live it down.

Honestly, he’d rather take another beating than be the butt of the joke.

Vic raised an eyebrow. “Dad hit you that bad?”

Jeremy sucked in a sharp breath, his handsome face twisting in agony, like some tragic male lead in a low–budget period drama.

“If Charles hadn’t held him back and begged for mercy, he would’ve killed me today,” Jeremy muttered dramatically.

Just thinking about it pissed him off all over again. ‘Who the hell spread that dumb rumor about Yvonne getting poisoned by a snake?!‘

If it weren’t for that nonsense, his dad wouldn’t have gone off on him, and he wouldn’t be suffering like this now.

A soft little voice chimed in. “Jeremy, what’s wrong?”

Yvonne had been peeking over Vic’s shoulder for a while, her big, round eyes full of concern.
