Becca didn’t dare say another word. She had seen Alexander in Italy before, and the memory was enough to make the color drain from her face. Fear flickered in her eyes as she glanced at him, then at Serena.Still, she couldn’t resist throwing Serena one last hateful look before quickly following the others inside.Serena watched them disappear, but the uneasiness Renzo’s words had left behind remained.Mr. Vanderbilt, I hope you won’t be too busy in a few days.What exactly had he meant?Before she could think about it any further, her attention shifted to the hand resting on her shoulder.Alexander’s hand.Several angry blisters covered his fingers and the back of his hand. Some had already begun to swell, while others looked irritated from being left untreated. Against his fair skin, they appeared particularly noticeable.Serena’s brows knitted together.She couldn’t help worrying that his beautiful hands might be permanently scarred.Alexander waited until everyone had disappeared

Lawrence reached over and gently touched Chiara’s head, but his attention was drawn to the unusual look in Lucca’s eyes.“Lucca?”Lucca leaned back against the sofa without answering.He quietly rolled his phone between his thumb and forefinger, his lowered lashes casting a faint shadow across his eyes. For once, the usual carefree expression was absent from his face.He slowly got to his feet.“Leave the phone.”Lawrence’s voice came again, firmer this time.Lucca glanced at him, then smiled lightly.“Lawrence, you’re awfully serious tonight.”He placed the phone on the table and headed upstairs without another word.Chiara, however, seemed to have forgotten about Lucca entirely.

There can’t be another failure.”The warmth disappeared from Lawrence’s expression.His face immediately became stern.“Didn’t I tell you not to act

Jonathan was already waiting downstairs.The morning light streamed through the tall windows of the sitting room, falling in pale strips across the polished marble floor. The house was unusually quiet, as though the entire estate were holding its breath.The moment Alexander appeared, Jonathan straightened and respectfully handed him a document.“Mr. Vanderbilt, this was delivered overnight. It’s Marken’s will.”Alexander took it without comment.Jonathan continued, his expression serious.“The fifteen per cent of Mr Cornelius Vanderbilt’s shares came with a condition attached before they could be transferred. Marken had to be dead. Since he’s still alive, those fifteen per cent belong to him.”He paused.“And today, he intends to return to the Vanderbilt Group as a senior executive.”Alexander’s eyes remained on the document.The Vanderbilt Group had experienced considerable turmoil in the past, but Alexander still held enough shares to retain absolute control. Even if he lost fiftee

Alexander had already left the Vanderbilt family home.Once he was inside the car, he reached for the towel lying beside him and slowly wiped the damp marks from his clothes.Jonathan sat in the front passenger seat. He caught a glimpse of Alexander through the rear-view mirror and immediately looked away.Alexander's expression was cold and unreadable.Jonathan didn't dare ask what had happened.Instead of going to the Vanderbilt Group, Alexander instructed the driver to take him to Manston Manor.He thought Serena would still be there.But when he arrived, the servant informed him that she had already gone to the company.Alexander's gaze darkened slightly.He remembered that Wes's scandal was still spreading rapidly online. Serena had been dealing with one problem after another lately, and he knew she had barely had time to rest.Still, he wanted to see her.More than anything, he wanted to see her now.Especially after Frederick had struck him with a teacup earlier.The dull ache
