Gary had clearly made all the arrangements for Ken.

"I have other places to stay. Besides, Floyd's a sharp kid. If he lives with me, I'll feel at ease, Ken declined the offer. glancing at the time. "I'll have Floyd come pick me up."

Gary pulled the car into the courtyard, frowning. "Floyd's my soldier. He only takes orders from me.

Ken's hand froze briefly on the door. He lifted his gaze to Gary. "I think it's best we don't have too much. contact. After all, it was you, Mr. Wagner, who once told me to stay away and get out of your life.

Gary's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "I knew you were still holding a grudge..."

Ken didn't explain. He stepped out, intending to walk.

He didn't want to have any connection with Gary beyond what was necessary for work.

"Ken!" Gary's voice rose, filled with frustration.

But he wasn't angry at Ken. He was angry at himself.

In the past, like everyone else, he had severely misunderstood Ken.

"You never tried to explain. After Sylvester's accident, you came back alone. No matter what I asked, you wouldn't say anything. Did you ever trust me? Did you ever treat me as one of your own?" Gary's voice trembled. "Do you think you were the only one who got hurt?"

Ken stood with his back to Gary for a long time before finally turning to face him. "You didn't trust me and I didn't truly trust you either. You're Patrick's biological brother. I'm sorry, but I never saw you as one of my own."

There was truth in his words, but also a deliberate jab-he wanted to hurt Gary.

The one who didn't trust Gary wasn't Ken. It was' Wade.

Upon his return from abroad, Ken, barely alive, shared all his knowledge with Wade, including his suspicions and fears. However, Wade explicitly prohibited him from telling anyone, particularly those connected to the Wagners..

To repay Wade's kindness, Ken had borne all the suspicion and misunderstanding alone.

Together with Wade, he had staged a performance for Patrick-making Patrick believe the entire Lockhart family resented Ken, that he was an outcast.

That way, Patrick would think Ken had no place left and could be persuaded to work for him..

Gary stood silently, eyes downcast, full of regret.

All these years, he had hurt Ken with his doubt and distrust. Now, he was beginning to understand even a fraction of what Ken must've endured.

So this was the sensation of being mistrusted, of being discarded.

Just because he was Patrick's brother, he had to live under everyone's scrutiny and doubt.
