Briar turned to Edgar, feigning confusion as she asked, “You called me home to give me the photos and have dinner, right? We’ve eaten, and I’ve got the photos. What else do you want?”

“You haven’t been home in so long. I have a lot to say to you. Let’s sit down and talk,” Edgar replied.

He paused for a moment. Putting on the air of the family head, he instructed, “Sara, bring the small tea tin I brought home last month and make a pot of tea for the study.”

Sara, who had been quietly hiding in the room, spoke up and came out. She looked at Briar to make sure she wasn’t planning to leave, then rushed to

the kitchen to make some tea.

Edgar smiled as he walked toward the stairs. He said, “Briar, come on, let’s go to the study and have a good father–daughter talk. No one is allowed to

disturb us.”

Worried Briar might turn him down again, Edgar hurried upstairs right after speaking, not giving her even a second to respond.

Briar shot a glance at the three who had been holding themselves back ever since she walked in, catching that greedy, disdainful glint in Camden’s eyes. She let out a cold snort, then sauntered upstairs without a care.

The study door was wide open. Edgar was already inside, standing by the desk and watching the staircase. When he saw Briar coming up, that fake, loving smile appeared on his face again.

“Briar, over here. Come sit,” Edgar called out, waving her over with a beaming grin.

Briar slouched into the study, flopping onto the sofa while making sure the photos in her pocket didn’t get bent. “I’m short on time, so just spit it out,” she said in annoyance.

Pretending not to notice the annoyance in her tone, he chuckled, “You’re still as stubborn as ever. It’s late now, so what could you possibly have going on right now?”
