At that moment, a poisonous thought suddenly surfaced uncontrollably inside their hearts.
'If only Brenda had never returned... If only we had never acknowledged her existence...'
There was someone else who believed that the situation was slowly spiraling out of control.
That person was none other than Lucian.
Long ago, after creating a misunderstanding between him and Thessy, he noticed something important.
Thessy had started dropping by more frequently, sometimes even staying longer than necessary.
Those tiny changes were enough to make him reconsider his original plans.
At first, Lucian had intentionally approached Thessy because he wanted to establish some kind of connection with the Peterson family.
The Peterson family stood at the very top of the country's social hierarchy.
Their influence stretched through politics, business, and even underground networks.
Because of that, it was almost impossible for the current Lucian to directly approach them.
