Chapter 879

There, all was quiet.

The crisp evening breeze brushed past Thaddeus, stirring the deep pools of his eyes, his heart thudding in his chest with a heavy, unresolved longing.

Even now, he held onto a sliver of hope for Chad who had once saved his life.

He had watched the Chambers tear each other apart, caught in a brutal struggle for dominance. He couldn't bear the thought of the same fate befalling the Abernathy corporation.

"Thaddeus, though I've been too ill to look out for myself, my heart has always been with the Abernathy corporation. Worrying over grandpa, dad, you, and Marilla."

Chad's voice was filled with sincerity, "First off, I had no idea you were the one stirring trouble behind the scenes. I was merely acting in the best interest of the Abernathy family. And even if I had known it was you, I don't think I would've chosen differently. Everything I've done was for the Abernathy corporation. Thaddeus, I hope you can understand me."

Upon hearing these words, Thaddeus clenched his fists, his emotions a tumultuous mix.

After dinner, Cassius, Arnold, and the ever-busy Bennett found time to join Emeric for a chat in his room.

"Where's the fourth one?"

Emeric began to take stock of his sons, not missing the chance to tease, "What, he's not still holding a grudge over Mr. Fairhaven and Marilla's wedding, is he? He's not that petty, right?"

"Dad, he got here early, even helped Jareth with the decorations."

Arnold, surprisingly speaking up for his rival, added, "But he headed out early today, wouldn't say where he was going."

"And the seventh? Why's he missing?"

Emeric frowned, "He's not avoiding the wedding because he's heartbroken, is he? Doesn't sound like a son of mine."

"Dad, you're underestimating Aaron. He's made peace with Jareth, moved on, and let go."

Cassius offered a reassuring smile, "He's been swamped at work, barely managed to get time off. He's on a flight right now, will land tomorrow morning."
