Chapter 1019: Attacking the Heart

Warren chuckled. "I was wondering when you'd ask."

Tina frowned. "What happened to Poppy?"

Seeing her concern, Warren waved his hand dismissively. "He's fine. Your parents were worried about the lingering influence of the Swanson family, so they enrolled him in a new boarding school-a prestigious one."

Tina was surprised. "He agreed to it?"

Warren nodded, his tone filled with admiration. "That kid may only be five, but he understands everything. He knows what's been going on in the family, so when it came time to switch schools, he didn't hesitate."

Tina pressed her lips together and responded softly.

The Swanson family was no longer a threat in the capital, and a change of environment would only benefit Poppy.

Besides, Poppy was introduced to the new school under the Warren family's name. Even if the other parents knew the truth, they wouldn't dare mention a single word in front of their children.

Tina held the letter in her hand and left.

Before leaving, she reassured Warren. "Don't worry about Brandon. Uncle will handle it. He won't bother you again."

Warren smiled faintly, but deep down, he felt a sense of relief.

The Brookes family was Alina's side of the family, and also his in-laws. No matter how much trouble they caused, he couldn't just kick them out.

Jared entered the house shortly after Tina.

Tina shared the news about her parents with him, but Jared pulled her into the room before she could finish. "I've already handled Brandon. Your parents don't need to come back just to deal with him."

Tina froze. "Uncle, how did you convince Brandon?"

She knew Brandon's personality well.

As her mother's most similar sibling, he wouldn't give in so easily. If he were that simple to persuade, the Warren family wouldn't have been forced to keep their doors shut during the daytime because of his antics.

Unless Uncle had offered him something tempting enough.

But for Brandon, even the greatest benefit wouldn't outweigh a single favor from Angela.

What exactly had Uncle done?

Jared took off his coat, disinfected his hands, and then sat on the sofa with Tina in his arms. His voice was calm as he said, "It was simple-I addressed the root of the problem."

"The root?"
