Chapter 336

Jason's lips tightened slightly, a hint of evasion in his gaze as he summoned his aide and swiftly exited the room.

"Dad, I think Grandpa Joe is way better than my real grandpa. My real grandpa, he's never even looked at me," Daniel complained as he fiddled with the toy Grandpa Joe had sent him.

Ludwik settled back onto the couch, his long legs crossed, and lit a cigarette. Through the haze of smoke, his gaze was as cold as ice. "You don't have a grandpa in Banyan City. He only had Orion as a son."

"If she's expecting me to help the Bartels family out of this mess, to cover up for the media, tell her not to bother calling for the next few days."

Felix, sensing Mr. Lippert's stance towards the Bartels family, nodded and went out to return the call.
