The patriarch then addressed Andrew: “From now on, as long as Aster’s actions don’t violate our family code or the law, don’t interfere with him.”

If he had controlled his urges back then, none of this would have happened.

He had no right to dispute anything, however displeased or unwilling he might be.

Andrew consoled himself with the thought that at least the power remained with his son, not some outsider.
