“Ms. Domont, your father’s impossible to deal with. Every meal, he knocks over his plate at least three times
before he'll eat.
“And at night, when he needs to pee or crap, he won't even say a word. Ends up messing himself, and | have to
get up in the middle of the night to clean it up. If it weren't for your paycheck, | swear I'd have quit already.”
Kaia let out a cold laugh, then softened her tone. “I appreciate it, Peter. | know it’s not easy.
“From now on, only offer him food once per meal. If he doesn’t eat, let him go hungry. If he keeps soiling himself,
put in a catheter. It's his own doing if he suffers.”
Tobias whimpered from the other end, eyes rolling in
frustration.
Kaia continued, “Tell him that aside from being my father by blood, | have no attachment to him. Taking care of
him like this is already more than he deserves. He'd better behave.
“Alright, I've got things to handle here. Thanks again, Peter.”
After hanging up, Peter stood by Tobias’ bed, scoffing, “Heard that? Your daughter said no dinner for you tonight.
Starve!”
Tobias’ eyes brimmed with tears. For the first time, he truly

If he'd treated his daughter better, would things have turned out differently?
But his regret ctoo late.

Back home, Kaia and Lucien were swamped.
It took two full weeks to clear their backlog of work.
Having been away from the Graves Manor for over a month, Kaia knew she couldn't delay her visit any longer.
As she stepped inside, Joanne greeted her with a smug smile, eyeing her triumphantly.
Kaia raised a brow, puzzled by Joanne’s behavior.
The answer csoon enough.
At the dinner table, Joanne could barely contain her excitement. “Allen, we've got shappy news!”
Allen nodded. “If it's good news, just say it.”
He was growing tired of Joanne’s flair for tics.
Unfazed by his tone, Joanne beamed. “Alden doesn’t even know
yet!

“Luna calledtoday, saying she'd been feeling off. | thought back-you visited her last month, right, Alden? So
| had her see a private doctor.” She paused for effect. “And Luna toldshe’s four weeks pregnant!”
Alden froze, his mind blank.
Is Luna pregnant? Am | going to be a father?
“Alden, you're thrilled silly, aren’t you?” Joanne teased.
Zane, caught off guard, hadn't been told either.
“Well, that’s great news!”
Lucien ate calmly, his expression neutral. “It is good news.”
But he didn’t mention anything about Luna returning.
Allen’s face lit up with a touch of joy.
“That's wonderful! Joanne, make sure you spend twith Luna and help her stay relaxed and healthy.”
Joanne’s smile stiffened. She hadn't expected them to refuse Luna’s return outright!
Earlier, she'd confidently promised Luna she’d find a way to bring her back.

“I'll look after Luna, of course. But pregnant women are sensitive. She needs Alden by her side to feel secure.”

Kaia caught the hint. Joanne was angling for Allen to let Luna
return.
But her plan fell flat.
Allen didn’t respond.
Lucien spoke up smoothly, “Joanne, |

“You'll be a mother someday. Can't you empathize?”
Lucien set down his fork, glancing at Allen at the head of the table.

change. Family comes first, right? A transfer to a lower-level role in the group should lighten his load.”
Alden, demoted from a subsidiary’s head to a low-level employee?
Joanne couldn't accept it. Her son was a direct heir of the Graves family. Why should he be treated this way?
The air at the Graves Manor dinner table turned intense.
Alden felt humiliated like never before.
He'd never resented his role as a mere subsidiary manager as
much as he did now.
If he held shares, if he could stand toe-to-toe with Lucien, he'd
have a say!
Allen saw the resentment and fleeting ambition in Alden’s eyes, knowing this matter wouldn't end easily.
