Seeing Cheyenne’s firm demeanor, Leandro was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, spinning around in circles.
“No, this won’t do… Cheyenne, listen to your grandfather’s advice, things may not have reached that point yet.”
“Chulae is vast and rich in resources, with many talented individuals. Maybe we can’t find a solution, but others might have one. Let’s wait and see.”
Cheyenne certainly believed that there were many experts hidden in Chulae, but the situation at hand meant that waiting another day would result in more people dying by suicide.
“But what about Old Mr. Zamora…”
“It’s settled! When I came here, your grandfather entrusted me to take care of you and look out for you. You can’t act recklessly, otherwise how can I explain to your grandfather?”
If old Mr. Edwards knew that his granddaughter was going to throw herself into danger, he would definitely follow suit. The personalities of this grandfather and granddaughter were truly alike – stubborn!
Afraid that Cheyenne still harbored thoughts of taking risks, Leandro hastily ushered her out of the laboratory.
“Enough, your foot injury hasn’t healed yet, why are you being so stubborn?”
“What you should do now is take care of the children. If you have time, bring Cierra to see me.”
“I can’t see Sasha, but seeing Cierra is good too. My poor Sasha.”
Sasha’s disappearance had been a weight on everyone’s hearts. Although Old Mr. Zamora and Eddie hadn’t brought it up recently, Cheyenne knew that their anxiety was no less than Kate’s.
The reason they didn’t dare mention it was simply out of fear of reopening Kate’s wound.
“That’s perfect, I brought Cierra with me today. If Old Mr. Zamora doesn’t mind that little troublemaker, I’ll take her to your office.”
“Really? That’s nice, I’ve heard Old Mr. Edwards boast about how adorable his great-granddaughter is. Since she’s here, I must meet her.”
The two of them left the laboratory one after the other, changed out of their clean suits, washed their hands, and then left.
Cheyenne first escorted Old Mr. Zamora back to his office. Along the way, they discussed Master Glenn, and the old man suddenly became very angry.
“Why bring him up? Ruining my mood, hmph!”
When he learned that his granddaughter conceived Glenn Weaver’s baby before she married him, he was very dissatisfied.
He had long been displeased with the women of the Weaver family, lounging around aimlessly day after day instead of marrying and raising children properly, insisting on their “female supremacy” ideology.
The honor of the women of the Weaver family was achieved at the expense of sacrificing the lives of men.
Living no longer than thirty due to the blood curse that had lasted for hundreds of years, they still had not reflected on where they had gone wrong.
He had once tried to stop Kate from being with Glenn, afraid that his granddaughter would be widowed shortly after marriage.
Who knew Kate would rather be widowed than not marry him, as a grandfather who was only later acknowledged, Leandro did not dare to completely anger his granddaughter.
Fortunately, in the end, Glenn broke the blood curse, and Sasha was born, so he reluctantly accepted this grandson-in-law.
But now, with Kate injured and lying in the hospital, and Sasha captured, these events once again stirred up Leandro’s dissatisfaction.
He believed that if Glenn did not have the ability to protect his wife and daughter, he should not have married Kate.
If Kate was willing, there were so many wealthy young men in the capital she could choose from, none of whom were weaker than Glenn.
At the very least, they weren’t short-lived!
Cheyenne listened to his complaining words, awkwardly touched her nose, “Old Mr. Zamora, you are being a bit unreasonable.”
The old man immediately became angry, tapping his cane on the ground and glaring at her.
“What do you mean by being unreasonable? You are Kate’s good friend. Do you think Glenn is worthy of my granddaughter?”
As a woman who had suffered in love, Cheyenne was deeply touched at this moment.
“Old Mr. Zamora, how can the matter of love be judged by whether it matches or not?”
“The only difference is between loving and not loving. If Kate marries a man she doesn’t love, even if he is a perfect match for her, she may not necessarily be happy.”
“She chose Master Glenn, naturally because she loves him. Not because he is Master Glenn, but because he is Glenn!”
“And you have seen the sacrifices Master Glenn made for Kate after their marriage… he left the organization, escaped from the Weaver family, and started anew, all for Kate.”
In recent years, he had been known to spoil his wife.
Wherever Kate went for filming, Master Glenn would personally go to pick her up when she returned.
Kate liked acting, so he bought an entertainment company, personally selected scripts for her, and acted as the silent investor behind the scenes.
While Kate’s success was undoubtedly due to her talent and hard work, it was also due to Master Glenn paving the way for her.
Otherwise, she might have had to struggle for many more years without knowing.
Old Mr. Zamora was now holding Master Glenn responsible for Sasha’s disappearance, which was clearly unreasonable.
Sasha was Master Glenn’s only daughter, and her disappearance had also weighed heavily on him.
After hearing Cheyenne’s words, Leandro fell silent.
“I can’t argue with you, you are right.”
This proud old man, having been persuaded by Cheyenne, stubbornly refused to admit it.
Cheyenne smiled gently and, holding his arm, walked into the office. “I know you are concerned about Kate.”
“Back when I wanted to remarry Kelvin, my grandfather didn’t speak to me for half a month.”
Eventually, Kelvin came to apologize and propose every day for over half a month, bringing delicious food to soften my grandfather’s heart.
“Hmph, it’s good that you understand. We old folks don’t have many years left. What we want most is for our children and grandchildren to be safe and happy.”
He believed that was what both he and Old Mr. Edwards wanted.
“Yes, yes, Old Mr. Zamora is right. Now I also think that having a happy and united family is the most important.”
“Kate will have a second child, if it’s a boy, we can call him Andrew, and if it’s a girl, we can call her Angel.”
Leandro also looked forward to the unborn child, his face now showing a bit of anger dissolving into a few more smiles.
“Right, it’s a good name. But we in the Zamora family haven’t had a case of twins. You and Kelvin should give it a try and have another child to use the name. Don’t waste it.”
Cheyenne was speechless.
She already had two children and had no desire to have more, even though the country had implemented a new policy since last year.
Couples could have up to three children with accompanying welfare measures.
Pregnant women could take paid maternity leave for six months, and husbands could take two months of paternity leave.
A reward of 100, 000 for each child born, plus free milk powder and diapers until the child reaches one year old.
Education from kindergarten to university was completely free.
She and Kelvin are both wealthy individuals who do not care about these benefits. They just feel that raising a child is truly a daunting and noble task.
Oliver is a bit better. He was very quiet when he was in her belly, and he has not caused her much worry until now.
But it’s different when carrying Cierra. The little girl is too rambunctious, completely different from her initial perfect vision of a daughter.
Cheyenne is really afraid of having another mischievous kid again.
“Cough cough, Old Mr. Zamora, weren’t we talking about Kate and Master Glenn? What are you talking about? Kelvin is not at home, your wishes may be in vain.”
Leandro naturally has ulterior motives. Among the four families – the Zamora family is skilled in poison, and the Edwards family is skilled in medicine.
If the two families could merge their bloodlines and cultivate an offspring who excels in both medicine and poison, that would be extraordinary!
Members of the other two families can’t help but feel envious.
Although Sasha is good, she did not inherit the natural talent for medicine from the Zamora family, which is a regret in Leandro’s heart.
Now he was secretly hoping that Kate was pregnancy with a boy.
Just as they were discussing Master Glenn, Iker arrived, bringing Gordon along with him.
Walking at the back was Eddie, accompanied by a somewhat unfamiliar man, dressed in a proper black suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
He looked like a lawyer.
He brought with him the latest news –
Just yesterday, Master Glenn went to Dragon Serpent Isle!
“Dragon Serpent Isle?”
Isn’t that the place where Gregory died?
Why did Master Glenn go there?
Gordon’s face turned cold, “I think it might be related to Miss Sasha’s disappearance. When we went to inspect the crime scene together, we found a message on the mirror.”
“After seeing that message, his expression changed, and he hasn’t contacted me since.”
“I think… that message was deliberately left for Master Glenn by the killer, and he probably knows who would plan to go to Dragon Serpent Isle.”
Everything seemed planned. Before leaving, Master Glenn arranged for his assistant to temporarily take over the company’s affairs and secretly made a will with a lawyer.
He might have been afraid that he wouldn’t come back, so he made the worst arrangements.
Included in the arrangements were two letters.
One letter was for Kate, which was temporarily entrusted to Eddie. The accompanying lawyer instructed… to wait a month before letting Kate read the letter.
The other letter was for Cheyenne. She opened it in front of everyone and found a uniquely shaped ring inside.
The ring was made of pure silver mixed with gold, engraved with a design of an eagle carrying a snake.
A very familiar design… As Cheyenne and Iker were shocked by the sight, the ring confirmed their suspicions.
“He has indeed returned!”
Iker discreetly took a deep breath.
“I had suspected this before. Now I just have more solid evidence.”
Inside the envelope, there was a short message of only seven words.
[Please take care of Kate for me.]
