Millie shook her head, clearly not in the mood to sleep.
After ensuring Millie's safe arrival at her home and surveying the villa to confirm
no one suspicious was around, Derek returned to the old house.
Back at the old house, Freyja stood by the door, noticing the dark and oppressive
sky.
“Ahem...”
In the hall, Claudia covered her mouth to suppress a cough. Freyja quickly
returned to her side.
“Mrs. Thomas, are you alright?” she asked, rushing to massage Claudia’s back.
“I'm fine. Don't worry.” After a moment, Claudia waved her away.
“Allow me to assist you to bed. The doctor has said you should rest.”

“I'm not in the mood to lie down now,” Claudia sighed, her eyes clouded with
concern as she looked outside.
“Freyja, what I feared most has finally come to pass Freyja considered this and
sought to comfort her, “Mrs. Thomas, you needn’t worry about conflicts between
the young men. They will handle themselves. Every prominent family in
Preagend is like this. There is no way to quench human desires unless they
Learn to govern themselves.”
Claudia reflected on the hospital scene once more, her brow furrowing.
“Today, when Jonah declared that a son was inferior to grandchildren, I was
terrified. Do you believe he’s uncovered the secret?”
Freyja’s loyalty to Claudia had never wavered. When Victor brought Jonah back
and replaced the servants, only Freyja remained.
“I doubt it. Jonah may not be your biological son, but you have always treated
him fairly. You never struck him or berated him and provided a comfortable life.
He had no reason to confront you today.
Remember, he was the one who initially sought to harm Marcus. Now, he’s facing
the consequences.”
Claudia shook her head.
“Whether he knows the secret or not isn’t my concern. What bothered me was
the loathing in his eyes. When Victor returned with him, I felt a sense of betrayal,
but I considered the child innocent, regardless of his mother’s deceitful actions.
Yet, Jonah has always been a quiet and independent thinker, unlike the brash
and overbearing Leon's father.”
Claudia thumped her chest, a realization dawning that Jonah had been
concealing his true nature for years.
