“Are you truly still missing Byron?” Edgar scoffed, his clouded yet discerning eyes sweeping

over everyone present.

Everyone unconsciously sat up straight.

Edgar glanced at the indifferent Alexei and Natasha, and the silent Avery and Archer, a hint o sorrow appearing in his eyes.

He asked, “Can every one of you honestly claim to have not played a role in Byron’s death?”

He thought, ‘Yes, back then, only Minerva was proven to be associated with this matter.

‘But is that truly the whole truth?‘

He added, “Since you were so ruthless back then, don’t pretend to be speaking up for Byron now. Don’t assume I don’t know your true intentions.”

The incidents from the past were already too intertwined to make sense of.

On the other hand, Avery’s family had been seperated from the Turner family for nearly thirty years, never benefiting from them in the slightest.

Compared to his siblings who enjoyed a life of luxury, Avery had suffered enough to atone

for his sins.

Edgar leaned on his cane, his voice cold. “My mind is made up. If you disagree, then hand over what you have.”

Everyone fell silent, not daring to speak.

For a moment, they genuinely thought Edgar might have learned the truth.

Minerva watched with cold indifference as the entire family descended into chaos, then

scoffed.

She thought, ‘I won’t fight for the Turner family’s assets, but why should I refuse when Edgar

wants to offer some to me??

‘Even if Archer doesn’t want it, donating it to charity is better than letting these ungrateful people take it instead!

Archer, the other target of everyone’s jealous glares, remained composed.

This was his first time caught in the vortex of a prominent family, yet he felt nothing out of

He only felt that this was truly not a place where free spirits could thrive.

His eyes swept over Alexei and Natasha’s clasped hands and Natasha’s swollen, red lips before he averted his gaze.

After an unpleasant family meeting concluded that evening, Archer chose not to stay.

As they exited the Turner Mansion, their car passed Alexei’s car, which was carrying Natasha, and they drove off in opposite directions.

Archer stared at the receding, gradually shrinking car in the rearview mirror, recalling the news he received shortly after leaving the open–air garden.
