Derek shot Chris a look. Noticing that he had said something wrong, Chris shut up. Ethan was staring ahead into the air. If I hadn’t agreed to her request, maybe she’d still be… When Christine took Felix home back then, the whole family objected to their relationship. They knew how chaotic Felix’s family was, and they wanted nothing to do with it.

Christine looked at him with tearful eyes. “Ethan, I won’t marry anyone else but him. You won’t let me suffer, will you?”

In the end, he relented. He thought he could ensure her safety, but alas, things didn’t go as he wished.

“Still, Felix didn’t seem like he belonged with the Wallaces. He was a gentleman. Once he married Christine, he said he wouldn’t fight for the family’s inheritance. He really loved her,” said Chris, worried that Ethan might blame himself for Christine’s death.

Irvin said, “Triston was a gentleman too, but he’s now the Wallace Family’s young master.” To that family, the young master was like the crown prince of old. The moment the current family head died, he could take over. The position of young master could only be granted through merit. Since the family head had a lot of sons, the competition was stiff. It was not an exaggeration to say that Triston was indeed a crown prince. The Wallaces were rich and powerful enough to rival a nation.

Chris was a brave soul, but the mention of Triston made his skin crawl. “Can you not talk about him? It gives me the heebie-jeebies. He’s supposed to be a pianist. He has been playing the piano ever since he was a kid, but now he’s a young master of his family. He must have been hiding his true colors really well.”

Derek added, “But he really just wanted to focus on playing the piano before Felix died.”

Chris got goosebumps. “That makes it worse.”

Derek smiled. “Some people are born to be leaders. If they somehow decide to step into their element, then none can compete with them.”
