Chapter 69\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany pressed her lips together. \u201cPeople will talk if they see us. Mr. Brennan, we need to be clear about some things. Yesterday was an accident, so I can let it go. But you\u2019re into men.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAside from acting in front of your family, we should keep our distance. You need to make things clear with your housekeeper so she doesn\u2019t get the wrong idea.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe works for my father,\u201d Silas said coolly. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you tell him that yourself?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany shut her mouth at that. She shouldn\u2019t have wasted her time arguing with him to begin with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, Julian had asked Silas to bring Bethany home with him for dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Bethany got out of the car, she immediately spotted the legendary \u201colder brother\u201d sitting on the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Refined and scholarly, his features were sharper than Silas\u2018. Silver\u2013framed glasses rested on his nose, making him look even colder than Silas did, with the commanding presence of someone in power.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was no wonder that Evan was scared of his father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nice to meet you,\u201d Bethany said politely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian nodded. \u201cI heard about what happened yesterday from Silas. Thank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, he turned to his son. \u201cEvan, don\u2019t trouble Aunt Betty with things like this in the future, understand?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Evan pouted. \u201cBut you weren\u2019t here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian said flatly, \u201cYou know my secretary\u2019s number-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough!\u201d Jeremy cut off his son\u2019s lecture. \u201cYou\u2019re a father who leaves everything to your secretary. You should spend more time with Evan!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy huffed. \u201cOr just find Evan a mother!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Evan nodded enthusiastically in agreement, but his smile froze when he caught his father\u2019s stern expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany suddenly realized that Silas seemed much more approachable than his older brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Julian\u2019s stern, unsmiling demeanor, finding him a wife seemed impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas looked at her with a mischievous expression, and she quickly lowered her head to focus on her food.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Julian observed the interaction between his younger brother and sister\u2013in\u2013law, his eyes unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After dinner, Evan pulled Bethany out to play in the garden, while the two brothers chatted in the study.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting attached?\u201d Julian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas smiled, leaning against the windowsill, his eyes fixed on the woman running around the garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s lips curved slightly, and he said nothing more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMake it work. I\u2019m flying to Aeredale tomorrow. I should be back by the wedding.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnother inspection trip?\u201d Silas asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. A month this time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas sighed. \u201cJule, aren\u2019t you going to find Evan a mother? The last incident was resolved, sure, but that other kid\u2019s verbal attacks still hurt Evan. Your son acts carefree sometimes, but he\u2019s still just a six\u2013year\u2013old.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
June\u2019FIND THE CLUE\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s gaze was deep. \u201cI know what I\u2019m doing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas knew that no one in this family was more stubborn than his older brother. Thus, he didn\u2019t push further.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah had just finished a business dinner when he suddenly recalled running into Bethany at Henry\u2019s school yesterday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d assumed that Bethany would definitely come begging him for help, but he still hadn\u2019t received a call from her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He called his sister, Keira Vazquez. \u201cKey, how\u2019s Henry\u2019s injury?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Keira had been meaning to call him. She said, \u201cNoah, this school is ridiculous. My son got beaten up, and now they want him to apologize to the other kid!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know their principal? Can you talk to them for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s eyelid twitched. \u201cThe other kid\u2019s family knows the principal?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently, they have serious connections. Even their homeroom teacher got replaced.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s eyes narrowed in suspicion. That day, the little boy had called Bethany \u201cAunt Betty\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did this mean that the kid\u2019s uncle pulled some strings? Had Bethany really latched onto someone powerful?\u00a0<\/p>\n
