Gideon was fuming, his brow furrowed as he grumbled, "How he differentiates that is his problem, not ours!"


    "I... I''m just worried there might be a trick up his sleeve. What if he just snatches Elizabeth''s ashes and goes straight to Tarquin to cut a deal?" Gideon was brimming with confidence, "No way! Absolutely not!"


    After all, it never crossed his mind that this Alpha was his own blood, his great-grandson, Elliot!


    Gideonid out his analysis clearly, "Coborating with us, the Alpha could rake in a fortune and secure the top spot in wealth, gaining both fame and fortune!


    But if he deals with Tarquin, at best, he''d get a fraction of the wealth and still be under Tarquin''s thumb, forever ying second fiddle.


    He''s not a fool. He knows which option benefits him more."


    His confidant nodded in agreement, "Makes sense."


    Gideon added, "Set up a meeting time and ce, bring Elizabeth''s ashes for him to identify. Once he''s on board, we can surely topple Tarquin! I''m so fed up with that ungrateful kin!"


    "Alright! I''ll get in touch with the Alpha right away."


    At that moment, Elliot and Elysia had just returned to Number One Mansion.


    Upon receiving a message from Gideon''s side, Elliot furrowed his brows.


    Keith''s death had left him feeling suffocated, a heavy weight pressing on his chest.


    After all, the Inkster family''s major grudge remained unsettled, a hard pill to swallow!


    If this hadn''t happened right before his eyes, he''d never believe such despicable people existed in this world!


    Elliot, with a tight frown, replied, "You pick the time and ce, just let me know."


    Gideon''s man replied instantly, "Sure thing, looking forward to a fruitful coboration."


    Elliot scoffed, fruitful coboration indeed!


    But this ''fruitfulness'' had nothing to do with the Bradford family!


    Gideon, just you wait and see!


    The Inkster family might be down, but this feud is far from over!


    ...


    When Tarquin got home, Evan Emmett was in the living room ying with Baby.


    Elysia was in the kitchen preparing dinner.


    Elliot and Elijah were upstairs in the small study.


    Seeing him return, Emmett called out excitedly, "Daddy!"


    Among the four little ones, Emmett was particrly clingy to Tarquin, even more so than Elliot, Evan, and Elijah.


    Tarquin held a special fondness for this third son with no blood rtion.


    Adjusting his demeanor, he smiled warmly at Emmett, "What are you ying?"


    "We''re drawing with Baby."


    Baby, with her big, sparkling eyes, hesitantly called out, "Daddy?"


    Hearing this, Tarquin stopped in his tracks, his heart skipping a beat.


    Elysia,ing out of the kitchen, also froze in ce.


    Even though they had heard Keith''s message, they hadn''t expected Baby to switch so quickly.


    Tarquin quickly approached, lifting his daughter into his arms as his emotions surged, "Hey!"


    In her sweet, milky voice, Baby exined, "My daddy said, from now on, Mr. Handsome is my new daddy, and Baby should start calling Handsome Daddy."


    Tarquin nodded in agreement, "Yeah!"


    Though Baby''s change of address was prompted by Keith''s instructions, Tarquin was still deeply moved, his eyes reddening.


    "I''ll love Baby just like he did! Forever and ever!"


    "I''ll love new daddy too! My daddy went on a mission again, does new daddy know where he went? Is it far from Baby?"


    "...It''s a bit far, but his heart is always with Baby. Whenever you miss him, he''s surely missing Baby too."


    "I''ll miss him every day."


    "Yeah, and he''ll miss Baby every day too."


    "So, when can hee back?"
