A Lamborghini pulled over at the Ye family estate's driveway.

Adrian and Henry got out of the car and saw a rolled-out red carpet flanked by two line of servants.

"Welcome home, Mr. Ye," they said in unison.

The welcome gesture was grand, and everyone's smile was the same.

Adrian nudged Henry's arm and teased, "Your father went through all this trouble to welcome you home.

Maybe he wants to make it up to you." "Well, it's unnecessary," Henry answered.

Adrian shoved his hands in his trouser pockets and pushed Henry with his body. "Go on in, Mr. Ye."

"Why don't you come inside with me?" Henry really wanted to invite Adrian to meet his father, but Adrian refused decisively.

"No. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Ye family. Besides, your father certainly doesn't want to see me."

Howard had said firmly in front of Adrian that he would never have an illegitimate child.

Adrian knew that Howard would be embarrassed if they saw each other again.

"I'll go now. Call me when the dinner is almost over, and I'll come pick you up." Adrian patted Henry on the shoulder, slid back into the car, and drove away.

Henry waited for the car to leave his sight before turning around and walking in.

He was

y. He frowned, feeling a little impatient. Then, he remembered he had something to announce tonight, so he needed his two sons to be present. He called to the butler once again and said, "Wait. Get Vivian and ask her to come here. Julie's not feeling well. Let her rest."

When the last dish was served on the table, Vivian walked in gracefully and greeted the three men on the table. "Good evening, Dad, Noah, Henry."

"Have a seat." Howard motioned for her to sit down.

Feeling her father's indifference, Vivian felt uneasy. She guessed that her father had heard about the rumors going around. She was worried that he believed that she had something to do with her mother's miscarriage.

She had to find a way to clear her father's suspicions.

"You look so much like Dad, Henry. I wonder why I hadn't noticed before. We have seen each other so many times," Vivian commented. "Had I been more observant, I would've realized."

"Really?" Henry smiled, but there was ice in his voice.

He thought, 'If she had realized earlier, I would have suffered or even been killed.

She's so cruel and merciless that she has murdered her own unborn sibling. If she could do that to her own flesh and blood, what more to a half-brother like me?'
