A goddaughter was a great idea! If she became their goddaughter, then Winona would practically be family anyway! That was much better than having their daughter be the Huber family''s daughter-inw! It wasn''t that they had anything against Keaton, but in terms of rtionships... he was too much of a yer,pletely unreliable!


    "I have no objections either," Winona said with a smile, walking over to Janelle''s side. “Janelle, Richard." Janelle looked at Winona, both happy and concerned, and began fussing over her with a series of worried questions.


    Richard Huber, on the other hand, was a bit stunned. He had caught the scent of alcohol on Winona! The Huber family had a passion for fine liquors, so he recognized the aroma. It had to be from Keaton''s great-grandfather''s prized collection! Keaton had stolen liquor from the family cer again!


    Richard was seething with anger. That good-for-nothing, infuriating son of his was going to be the death of him! He couldn''t explode right then and there, so he had to bottle it up.


    Just as he was fuming, he saw a text message from his driver: 【Sir, the young master is in Ms. Newsom''s room.]


    Richard: "!"


    He re-read the message, then instinctively nced toward Winona''s bedroom. Making an excuse about handling work, he stepped away from the group to call the driver.


    "How do you know Keaton is in Winona''s room?"


    "I was having a smoke downstairs just now and saw them with my own eyes. The young master and Ms. Newsom seemed a bit flustered when they saw me, so I didn''t dare to greet them."


    "Just now?"


    "Yes. If you didn''t see him when you came in, he must still be in Ms. Newsom''s bedroom."


    Richard: "..."


    After hanging up, Richard''s mind was in turmoil. His son knew how valuable the liquor in the cer was. Why would he steal it for Winona? And why would he be sneaking around in her bedroom? You don''t just enter a young woman''s bedroom like that! What could this be if not a budding romance?!


    Richard grew more and more excited. He turned and walked back to the living room, telling Janelle, “Something urgent hase up at thepany. Can we continue this chat another time?"


    Janelle was displeased. "What''s so urgent? I''m right in the middle of something important here."


    Richard knew her "important thing" was making Winona their goddaughter. He said impatiently, “We can talk about it another day, I have to go."


    Why bother with a goddaughter when a daughter-inw was so much better! The Huber family was on the verge of having its line end. He had been praying to every saint he could think of for a daughter-inw for the family!


    He wasn''t like Janelle. Janelle had be such a big fan of Winona that she thought her idol deserved a better man, so she''d switched sides! He hadn''t switched sides! He''d much rather have Winona as thedy of the Huber house than as a goddaughter!


    Seeing Richard''s urgency, everyone assumed it was a realpany emergency. Janelle couldn''t argue and left with him. As soon as they were out of the Newsom house, she asked, "What on earth was that all about?"


    Richard didn''t answer. He first motioned for the driver to leave, then quickly pulled Janelle into Keaton''s house next door.


    Janelle waspletely bewildered. "What are you doing?!"


    Richard said, “Stop with this goddaughter business. Think about our family. It''s


    much better for Winona to be thedy of the Huber house!"


    Janelle frowned. "That brat of yours doesn''t deserve Winona! Besides, he doesn''t like her, and she doesn''t like him."


    Richard retorted, "Says who? They''re totally a thing! They''ve been seeing each other behind our backs. We might even get married this year and be holding a grandchild by next year! Haha Richard yet so carried away by his own words that he startedughing excitedly. Contént


    Janelle looked at him skeptically. "Are youpletely delusional? You must be


    losing your mind from wanting a daughter-inw so badly!"


    "We''ll just wait for our son right here," Richard dered. "You can ask him yourself


    in a bit. If he dares to say he''s not with Winona today, I''ll break his legs!"


    Stealing his great-grandfather''s


    liquor deserved a beating! Sneaking


    into a young woman''s bedroom


    without a thought for her reputation, when they weren''t even dating, deserved a beating! Of course if they were* dating, then no beating was necessary.


    Janelle had no idea what had gotten into him. Completely baffled, she asked, "Where is our son?"


    Richard pulled her into Keaton''s bedroom and patted the sofa. “Sit here and wait. And keep your eyes on that window."
