Chapter 0401

In stark contrast to the Redwine family’s power plays, the Chesire family’s Baltimore Mansion in Ol ‘Mare was a picture of bliss and harmony.

“You're Alex’s kin, right? You can’t be much older than me, surely one of his seniors!”

Susanne, bustling with hospitality, offered tea and refreshments to the middle-aged man lounging on the sofa. “Ever since Alex joined our family, we haven't had any relatives drop by. You’re the first... What should | call you? I’m Alex’s mother-in-law, Susanne.”

The man on the sofa responded with a smile and a gentle shake of his head.

Of course, he was one of Alexander's nearest and dearest. His father, in fact. He was the patriarch of the Kane family, Caleb.

“Alex must be quite fond of you, huh? Your daughter’s nis...Amber, isn’t it?”

Caleb's hair was just beginning to show signs of gray at the temples as he looked around the living room. He spoke with a courteous tone, “I won't be long, | have other matters to attend to. Since Alex and Amber aren't here, could | see their photos? I'm sorry | missed their wedding.”

Wedding?

Oh, the chaos of that wedding day was something best left unspoken.

A flicker of discomfort crossed Susanne’s face, but she quickly masked it with a smile. “Photos? They hardly ever take any... Wait, | think | have one on my phone. Here, have a look.”

She fished out her phone and showed Caleb a picture of Alexander and Amber.

“Quite the handscouple.” Caleb commented softly, his eyes lingering on the image. Then, without further ado, he rose and gave a respectful nod. “I should be going if there’s nothing else.” Ignoring Susanne’s offer to stay for dinner, he left briskly with the elderly man in at his side.

“What an odd man...”

Susanne watched Caleb walk away, murmuring to herself. She was about to call Alexander when the nanny’s voice interrupted, “Ma’am, it’s eleven-thirty now. Tto pick up Miss Olivia from the

nursery!”

“Oh, right!”

With a quick reply, Susanne pocketed her phone and headed out to the nursery with the nanny. +15 BONOS

Meanwhile, Caleb had just slid into his black bulletproof sedan parked outside Baltimore Mansion. Any trace of a smile had vanished from his face.

“Sir?”

The elder in gray, seated next to Caleb, asked softly. “Are you missing the young master?”

Caleb shook his head, his expression unreadable.

Since his wife’s death, he and his son had becestranged. Whether he missed him or not, did it really matter anymore?

Patrick, seeing Caleb’s determination, did not push any further. Together with his wife, they saw Caleb off at the gates of their grand estate.

“If you're looking to patch things up with the young master, Miss Xanthos might just be the one to turn to.”

AntoKane, the Kane family’s seasoned butler, whose eyes had lost none of their sharpness despite their cloudy appearance, murmured, “Had it not been for that past incident, Miss Xanthos and the young master would probably be married by now.

“With the young master’s influence, the Xanthos family will definitely try to cozy up to him. As for

the other families...”

Caleb's eyes snapped into a fierce squint, radiating a wild and untamed power like a lion roused from slumber.

Other families?

“The north is teeming with noble houses, but only four are the real deal, including the Kanes and the Xanthos.”

He glanced out the car window, his voice icy. “The rest don’t even deserve to be in Alex’s orbit! And if the Xanthos dare to snatch Alex from under my nose, they’d better brace for war, because |

won't hold back.”

Antonio, well aware of Caleb’s temperament, let the topic drop. After a pause, he leaned in and added in a hushed tone, “Sir, word is the young master just took out the Redwine’s second son. About that...”

“Vince Redwine, the family head, is all muscle and no strategy, not cut out for the limelight.” Caleb, eyes still narrowed, as if wondering aloud, continued, “The third son’s the only one with a With a final decisive gesture, he swung his hand down.

The armored limo rolled forward, tearing off toward the airport.
