As the group was still processing what they’d just learned, Johnathan returned. With one glance, he noticed something was off in their expressions. He raised an eyebrow and was just about to say something when Autumn blurted out:

“Professor Yaager, are you still accepting thigh–huggers?”

Johnathan instantly caught on and laughed.

“If you’re looking for a leg to cling to, why go so far? All my money goes straight to Sierra – she gives me an allowance every month.”

Hearing that, Autumn immediately turned to Sierra and said, “If you get rich, don’t forget us!”

Thanks to her playful comment, everyone burst into laughter, and the awkwardness created by Johnathan’s true identity melted away instantly.

As the gathering wound down, White pulled Johnathan aside to discuss a potential partnership. Johnathan didn’t refuse, but since it was getting late, they agreed to set a time to talk in detail.

Seeing how Johnathan had warmed up to White, Mateo couldn’t help feeling a little irritated.

Maddox noticed and tried to soothe him.

“White’s family isn’t simple either. Staying enemies won’t get us anywhere. A win–win is always better.”

“You’re all defending him now,” Mateo grumbled, clearly displeased.

Maddox understood his temperament and didn’t press the issue.

Later at home, Sierra brought up the matter of Johnathan’s uncles. noveldrama

“White was there today – do you think he’ll do something?”

“That depends on what he does,” Johnathan replied.

The reason he’d gone easy on his uncles today was to observe how White would handle it.

And he was right – White was already arranging to contact Johnathan’s two uncles.

“Find a way to stir up more trouble, but make sure no one suspects anyone’s behind it.”

White knew Johnathan was a suspicious man. If he sensed manipulation, he’d immediately suspect White.

he couldn’t let it all go to waste. He had finally earned a sliver of Johnathan’s trust

The safest move would have been to ignore it altogether, but since he had stumbled upon the situation today, he wanted to make the most of it.

The truth was, he still hadn’t given up on Johnathan.

Johnathan had been his target from the beginning. Even with Sierra now in the picture, he had never

stopped eyeing Johnathan.

If they could bring Johnathan over to their side….

Just picturing it made him giddy.

Aside from his own ambitions, he simply didn’t want to see Johnathan succeed,

What he’d told Sierra about being an outcast in his family wasn’t entirely false.

Before he came of age, he was never taken seriously. Everything changed the day his father noticed just how much he resembled someone else and only then did the family start to value him.

Back then, he’d been grateful. He thought he was lucky.

It wasn’t until later that he found out his father only cared because of a child who had died at birth–a child born of the woman his father loved most.

His father had once wanted to bring that woman home, but a crisis within the family forced him to return quickly to take charge. By the time he’d resolved everything and went back for her, both the woman and the child were already gone..

His father had been devastated. For a long while, he buried himself in women who resembled her – and that’s how White had been born.

Remembering it now twisted his face with emotion.

“Are you sure? He’s really the Wynn family’s blood?”

White asked, his voice low.

“Positive. I heard there was some resistance from Wanqi Fei and the others, but Mr. Wayne personally shut it down.”

“With Mr. Wayne’s personality, if Johnathan weren’t true Wynn blood, there’s no way he would’ve made him family head. So yes – he is the real deal.”

White’s friend confirmed.

“Then where’s the mistake?”

White muttered.

The information he was getting now didn’t match what he’d known.

His father had insisted that the woman and the child were his.

So how had that child turned out to be part of the Wynn family?

He couldn’t even begin to imagine how his father would react if he found out the truth. The child he’d pined for all these years wasn’t even his…

Just picturing his arrogant father losing control filled White with a sick sort of pleasure.

“I really want him to know,” he muttered.

“You crazy?” his friend snapped. “If your father finds out the truth, it won’t do you any favors.”

reason the family ever took White seriously was because of his bloodline. He resembled enough to pass.

In the end, he was just a fake.

If the real one ended up hated by his father, what hope did a fake like him have?

“Something doesn’t add up. Look into it again. I’m going to spend more time with Johnathan.”

White said calmly, “He really is impressive.”

Then his friend added suddenly, “You know… you two are kind of alike. At least, you both pick things up fast.”
