Chapter 2201 Torn Between Paths

Quintus grew restless outside the room, idly kicking a mall stone as boredom took hold.

The stone rolled to a stop near a pair of elegant legs.

Looking up, Quintus saw Hattie and Blake had arrived.

“What’s happening? Is Magnus still in there?” Hattic asked, her concern growing.

“Yeah!” Quintus huffed, clearly frustrated. “What’s taking them so long? I should’ve gone in first.”

Hattie felt uneasy. She knew her father’s schedule well he was always quick and decisive, so this long conversation was off. She hadn’t expected to see her father, let alone have Magnus talking to him for so long.

She mused, Isn’t Magnus here to cut ties with Father? Why it so quiet? Could something have happened to him?

Meanwhile, Ezra’s words finally pulled Magnus out of his thoughts inside the room. He sneered and spoke up, “Father, you’ve misunderstood. Hattie and I came here for two reasons–to clear up things about Mom and the Zelinsky family and to completely cut ties with the family. From here on out, we go our separate ways.”

Ezra didn’t react or show any signs of anger.

Magnus continued, “The Zelinsky family will never accept me. The stab earlier was just me wanting the truth. Thanks for being honest. As for being the heir or even president, that’s not for me.”

He wasn’t without ambition, but he wasn’t about to fight for a place that didn’t want him. The Zelinsky family had never treated him well, always watching him closely. He was done holding onto the idea of becoming their heir when they clearly had no intention of accepting him.

“Your response surprises me,” Ezra replied, still emotionless, like a bottomless well.

“Are you worried the rest of the Zelinsky family won’t accept you?” he asked, reading Magnus.

Magnus hesitated. He hadn’t expected his father to get inside his head.

Stepping closer, Ezra reassured, “You really don’t need to worry about that. As long as I accept you, the rest of the family will have no choice but to follow. Now, you can become the youngest president in Chanaea’s history. Don’t you think you’ll regret it if you miss this?”

Magnus went quiet.

He wasn’t lacking in ambition, but his emotions had always been a heavyweight. With Hattie safe and his feelings in turmoil, he knew he needed something else to fill the void.

Finally, he spoke, “Father, how can I become president?

Ezra glanced at him, his tone steady. “It takes time. Now you need to help Catherine become president first. If you do that, the Zelinsky family’s power will fall in line with you. You’ll be accepted as the heir, and eventually, Catherine will hand over power to you.”

Magnus shivered slightly, the offer sounding too good to ignore.

He asked. Father, how do I help Aunt Catherine?”

Ezra’s smile grew sly. “Now you’re interested.”
