Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan

Chapter 256

As Stefan entered the house, he immediately noticed how much quieter it was..

Not only were there fewer servants, but there didn’t seem to be any family members around either

He glanced over at Carol and asked. “Where’s Grandpa?”

The expression on everyone’s face became a little uncomfortable at the question.

Carol, with a furrowed brow and an air of feigned concern, began to explain, “Stefan, you’ve been away for so long, so you wouldn’t know, but Grandpa hasn’t been home for nearly three months. He’s been staying across from the Holmes family, abandoning both his position and his dignity.”

By “position,” she referred to the family rules, which were numerous for large families like theirs.

“Dignity” referred to his role as the head of the Adler family, eagerly seeking out others.

Carol went on, “Forget about the Adler family rules, we can’t control Grandpa, but the Holmes family has their own rules too. This behavior is so out of line; I don’t even know what the Holmes family thinks of us.”

Stefan’s return had given them a glimmer of hope.

They shared their frustrations with him, hoping he could convince Richard to return

“We’ve visited him several times, but he’s becoming increasingly impatient with us. It’s like he’s a different person. During the holidays, we went to see him, but he wouldn’t even let us meet him. The rules he set himself are now out the window.”

“Exactly, Stefan, what kind of behavior is this? And don’t even get me started on how much he spent to buy land in Strate City and built that vineyard. It’s his money, and he can spend it however he wants, but now that the grapes are ripe, they’re selling for 100 thousand dollars per bunch. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

As they vented, their words carried an undeniable sense of resentment

Finally, they turned their hopeful gaze to Stefan Stefan, Grandpa likes you. Please, try to persuade him. The New Year’s coming soon -no matter how much he likes the children from the Holmes family, he should come back for the New Year, or the Adler family will be made fun of

It was more about the embarrassment they d face; no one would dare mock Richard, and there was no reason to,

It would be a scandal if Richard didn’t come home for the holidays but instead spent them with someone else.

The elders in the family would certainly reprimand them for being unfilial.
