RedNovelChapter 1041: Once the servant left, Bernie turned to Aliza and said sharply, "Close the door. Then clean up the mess." Aliza frowned. "Dad, do we really need to be so tic? The staff has been with us for years." "If people were so trustworthy," Bernie snapped, "then how did you overhear this secret in the first place?" "I overheard Alethea talking on the phone," Aliza muttered, crouching reluctantly to pick up the shards. "It wasn't from a Hinks servant." Kathleen stopped her with a wave. "I'll take care of it. You're always so clumsy-don't cut yourself. Just shut the door." Once the room was secure, Bernie began to piece things together. "Are you absolutely sure about what you heard? Because logically, it doesn't add up. Back then, both the Morrison and Hinks families rejected partners who weren't considered suitable. That's why Hannah and Josh left their families. But if Josh is Carrie's grandfather, and Hannah her grandmother... they were perfectly matched." Kathleen frowned as she tossed the glass into the trash. "You don't think Alethea wanted you to overhear her?" Aliza sat down and shook her head firmly. “No chance. She's terrified her parents will find out. She would never leak something like that on purpose." Kathleen nodded slowly. "Makes sense. The Rinks couple never had children. That means their entire legacy rests on Alethea. If a blood relative like Carrie reappears—even if she's not Kelsey's daughter but just a niece—the old shareholders will step in. They won't let her be sidelined." Bernie added thoughtfully, "So maybe Hannah and Josh both assumed the other was from a lower background." He sighed softly. "What a ridiculous misunderstanding-three generations tangled in this mess." But Kathleen wasn't interested in the tragic love story. Her tone turned icy. "Forget that. Right now, Aliza and Kristopher's engagement isn't finalized. We cannot let Carrie reclaim her place in that family." Every story unfolds at galnov☐☐☐☐☐ Aliza sat beside her mother. "Honestly, maybe we should stir the pot a bit. From what I picked up, Ms. Hinks isn't bringing Carrie back to make her an heiress. She wants to use her-for blood supply. They might act differently behind closed doors, but in public, they'll still have to give Carrie the money and status she's due." Kathleen reached over and pressed a hand to Aliza's forehead. “Are you losing your mind? You're grasping at straws. Doesn't Carrie already have the Morrison family backing her? Isn't that enough? Don't start making a mess now. You should be pushing Kristopher to seal the wedding and go abroad as planned.” Aliza shrugged lazily. "There's no rush. Kristopher's been taking his medication regularly. The doctor said if this continues, the damage could becpermanent. He might never recover his memories. And if that happens.....” "Permanent damage?!" Bernie's attention snapped to Aliza. "Are you insane? What if he ends up disabled? Are you planning to nurse him for the rest of your life?" Kathleen, unfazed, chuckled softly. "You've clearly learned nothing from your years in business."
Bernie turned to her, confused.
