?Chapter 2055


    "M?! What are you doing here?" Alvin''s heart sank, and his expression changed instantly.


    Despite their past conflicts, including M pping him in a moment of anger, he found himself stirred by a deep, primal attraction. His gaze fixated on her refined, elegant face.


    "You must be swamped with everything going on and haven''t had time to attend to Dad," M said, cing the bowl down and gently wiping Austin''s mouth without even ncing at


    Alvin.


    "Even though I''m married now and you''ve been so unweing, I''m still a heiress of the Larson family. It would be inhumane not to return at a time like this."


    Alvin furrowed his brows, filled with suspicion.


    "M... Thank you foring to see me..." Austin''s eyes were misty with tears as he clutched his daughter''s hand tightly, as if passing on an important responsibility. "I''ve been too harsh on you in the past. I let stubbornness create misunderstandings between us for so many years..."


    "I''ve long forgiven you, Dad," M replied with a gentle smile, softly reassuring him. “ Blood is thicker than water. You will always be my father, and we will always be a family." To Alvin, her words were like a stab in the heart. In the end, M was the only blood rtive Austin had. At such a critical moment, their reconciliation made him seem like an outsider.


    Austin''s voice was warm but tired. "M, you''ve had a long day. You should go home and rest. I need to speak with your brother."


    M obediently stood up. As she passed Alvin, she cast a cold, piercing nce at him that was both startling and ominous.


    Once the door closed, the previous warmth dissipated, leaving only tension in the room. "What do you n to do about Aaron?" Austin asked, his voice trembling.


    Alvin gritted his teeth and responded gravely, "Dad, with Aaron now in custody and all evidence against him, there''s no turning back. We need to immediately sever ties with Aaron! We must deny any involvement with illegal drugs!"


    Austin was horrified. "What... What are you saying?! You''re going topletely abandon Aaron?! He''s your son!"


    "He''s my son, but his actions have severely harmed the Larson family''s interests. He''s a ticking time bomb! If we don''t cut him off decisively, the entire Larson family will be dragged down with him!" Alvin''s tone was cold and unyielding, as if his son were merely a disposable pawn.


    Austin stared at Alvin, his shock and disbelief evident. This son, whom he had painstakingly nurtured for 40 years, now seemed like a stranger.


    "Alvin.... I need you to answer me honestly if you still consider me your father. Did you know about Aaron''s drug activities? Were you involved?"


    Alvin''s expression remained unchanged, and without a moment''s hesitation, he said, "No, Aaron acted out of greed and made his own mistakes. I knew nothing about these illicit activities."


    "You''re still lying to me at a time like this!" Austin, with hisst ounce of strength, grabbed a cup from the bedside table and hurled it at Alvin. He didn''t dodge in time, and the cup tipped over, spilling milk all over his suit.


    Alvin was on the verge of losing hisposure. Enraged, Alvin''s face flushed crimson." Dad! What are you doing?!"


    "Over the past six months, Aaron has been transferring money into your ount every month, and this money soon appears in thepany''s ounts. Aaron only recently got involved in the business. How could he know about the drug storage warehouse? Isn''t it because you secretly instructed him?"


    Seeing that the truth wasing to light, Alvin stopped pretending and let out a cold, sinisterugh.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
