Chapter 982:

Still, call it a hunch, but | have this feeling he'll show up today. I'm curious to meet him face-to-face, to have a

chat and see what kind of person he really is.”

Neil contemplated for a while, then he said, “Everett is certainly unusual. As the new Brock family head, it’s

customary for him to throw a grand soiree to introduce himself to Blebert’s elite.

After all, we all share the sspace here, and even if there's bad blood, sometimes alliances have to be

forged. Civility pays its dues. But since his return, Everett has practically barricaded himself in his house. He

makes no effort to reach out and even turns away visitors. His behavior—well, it's downright peculiar.”

At this, Aelfric’s eyes narrowed.

easy for her.”

Aelfric had been listening with a hint of amusement, but at the mention of Chloe’s troubles, his face clouded

over.

The thought of the girl he liked going through a rough twas hard for him to stomach.

After a beat, he looked at Neil and asked, “What makes Everett act so peculiar? Sure, keeping outsiders at arm's

length is one thing, but why freeze out his own family?”

Neil hesitated, eyebrows furrowing, and said, “Well...”

Before he could finish, Aelfric jumped in.
