Chapter 214

Penulis: Flower Sock
In that instant, Anathea felt as though a tsunami had erupted inside her. She stared at Gregory in disbelief.

She hadn't seen Adam in six years because Gregory had never allowed her to. However, now, he was the one voluntarily lifting the restriction.

She felt as if she was dreaming.

"Really? I can?" she asked in uncertainty.

"Yeah," Gregory replied quietly. His mind wasn't on that at all.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her into his embrace and rested his chin on her shoulder.

He then sighed and uttered hoarsely, "Anathea, I really missed you. Help me."

Anathea pressed her lips together. She could feel his…

She wasn't sure at what point his words had begun to soften her heart, but she was still a bit at a loss upon hearing his request.

"Help how?"

She didn't know how, and she was nervous.

"I'll teach you." Gregory chuckled, grabbing her wrist and kissing her lips.

…

An hour later, Gregory held Anathea close as they washed their hands.

He held Anathea's sma

    "Natalie! Are you crazy?" Theo shouted."Crazy?" Natalie sneered. "Honestly, these days, that almost feels like a compliment."So what if she was crazy? At least now, she had a crowd of people falling with her.If she had stayed sane, all she would have left was a mother who kept abandoning her and a life that would have collapsed the second things went south.If she was going to go down, she might as well go completely crazy. She would make every last person who had looked down on her or humiliated her pay the price."You both love her, right? Then prove it. Stab yourselves for her. Let me see just how deep that love runs!"Natalie's eyes gleamed with twisted delight. Watching Gregory and Anathea dance on the strings she pulled—this was what real satisfaction felt like.Theo gritted his teeth and reached for the knife on the ground, but Gregory grabbed his wrist."What are you doing?" Theo snapped. "Don't you see that lunatic's about to kill Anathea?""Calm down," Gregory said, frowni

    "So what if you've found proof?" Lennox looked straight at Gregory. "If you take me down, you're just helping someone else rise."If Lennox were out of the picture, Thomas would become the rightful heir and head of the Sinclair family. "That does nothing for you, does it?""You're really despicable!" Theo snapped.Even he could tell that the shameless Lennox was threatening Gregory. He wanted to drag Gregory down so that the latter would have no choice but to keep serving as his weapon in order to hold on to the family head's position.But Gregory just let out a soft chuckle. "The rule that the head of the Sinclair family must be a Sinclair by blood is fair enough. But who says I have to be Holden's son to count as one?"Lennox's face twitched.Everyone else in the room looked stunned. Their eyes were fixed on Gregory. In that moment, it suddenly hit them that Gregory and Lennox were the ones who looked the most alike.Thomas froze. "Wait… Don't tell me…""I wish I didn't have

    When Gregory arrived at the Sinclair residence, the entire Sinclair family was already gathered.Eleanor looked at Gregory with smug satisfaction. This time, she was finally going to erase the mistake she had made all those years ago.She should have gotten rid of this ingrate long ago."What did you want to see me about, Grandpa?" Gregory asked calmly."You've got some nerve calling me that." Lennox's once-kind expression was now replaced by cold contempt.He turned to Eleanor. "Tell this bastard the truth about where he came from.""Yes, Lennox."Smiling, Eleanor pulled out a DNA test report and announced, "This here is a DNA test between Gregory and Holden. As you can see, he's not part of this family at all!"A wave of shock rippled through the room."What? How could that be?""No wonder he never looked a thing like Holden! Turns out they're not related!""That means he's got no right to be the head of the Sinclair family! He should give up the seal of the family head ri

    "Um… I'm tired." Anathea quickly buried her face in the covers.If they went for another round, she swore her back would snap in half.Gregory chuckled and pulled her into his arms. "I was just kidding. Get some sleep."Anathea gave a nod, nestled into his chest, and closed her eyes. She slept soundly for the first time in a long while.…Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains and spilled across the bed. Anathea had just lazily stretched when her hand happened to land right on someone's firm abs.A glint of mischief flickered in her eyes. She gave them a good feel, then slowly moved her hand downward.Suddenly, the blankets shifted. Gregory rolled over and pinned her beneath him. His tall frame completely enveloped hers.Meeting his unfathomable gaze, Anathea swallowed hard. "When did you wake up?""Before you did," he said smoothly.So he had been awake the whole time. He pretended to sleep with his shirt conveniently pulled up just to tempt her on purpose.Anathea gl

    Eleanor's eyes lit up instantly. She pulled the man beside her forward. "Greet your grandpa.""Grandpa," the young man said.Lennox narrowed his eyes, taking a good long look at him. "What's your full name?""It's Thomas Morgenstein, Grandpa."Eleanor looked at Lennox, nervously twisting her fingers."From now on, your name is Thomas Sinclair." Lennox nodded.As soon as he said that, a smile finally spread across Eleanor's face.After leading Thomas out of the private chapel, she gave his shoulder an approving pat. "You did well this time."The fact that he'd followed Lennox's orders and gone to Cloudbrook to eliminate Roy meant he wasn't completely useless after all."I'm impressed."But Thomas brushed her hand off. "I'm just taking back what was mine to begin with. Don't flatter yourself. It's got nothing to do with you."Eleanor was stunned for a second, but her smile never faltered. "If you manage to bring Gregory down, your grandpa will make you the new head of the Sinc

    "Wait, please!" Roy panicked, his voice breaking as terror gripped him. "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"But before he could say another word, a sharp bang rang through the air. Blood splattered across Anathea's shirt."Watch out!" Gregory pulled her into his arms.Anathea's eyes widened in shock. Right in front of her, a bullet tore through Roy's chest, leaving a gaping, bloody hole where his heart should've been.He opened his mouth, as if trying to say something, but no words came. With his eyes still open, he took his last breath.Anathea could barely breathe."Don't look." Gregory quickly shielded her from the sight.Around them, Gregory's bodyguards surged forward, forming a tight circle around the two of them."Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Sinclair, please get into the car now!"Gregory scooped Anathea into his arms and rushed her into the armored vehicle. He felt her trembling and held her even closer. "Annie, it's okay. Don't be scared.""Roy was silenced…" Her lashes fl
