Chapter 390: Heir to Riverdale Legacy

At the Riverdale Estate.

"We’ve received no response from him, Mr. Riverdale," the man in a suit, Kavin, reported.

The old man, seated in a high-backed chair, tapped his fingers slowly on the armrests. His narrowed eyes glinted with restrained intensity.

His fingers stilled as he added coldly, "Seems like it’s time to refresh his memory of the past."

"You’ve been living in the Eastern Country... right under my nose... building your empire," the old man murmured. "And I didn’t even know."

His voice dropped, laced with both curiosity and challenge.

"You must be truly capable—to hide from someone like me. Let’s see what you’ve really got, Aiden. Let’s see if you’re still the same chosen one from the past—my grandson

, the chosen heir of the Riverdale legacy."
