“No need! I can come by myself. Just have someone open the gate when I arrive.”
After finishing his conversation with Heather, Ethan hung up and carefully put away his smartwatch.
“Bro. I’m going to sleep.”
After lying to Jacob, he put on thick winter clothes and boots. He shut his bedroom door to fake being asleep, then immediately headed out. He hailed a taxi bound for the Ramirez Historic Estate.
Outside the car window, icy winds whistled fiercely. Ethan’s gaze grew unusually sharp and cold.
Sutton Manor.
Heather went out to take a call and came back in high spirits.
Roy actually reached out to her on his own. You have to know, Roy used to be very distant with
her.
But at this time, Geoffrey hadn’t arrived yet, and small murmurs started around.
“Is Geoffrey not coming?”
“Didn’t they say he would come? Why isn’t he coming?
Geoffrey has never broken a promise.”
“Haven’t you heard the rumors?
Geoffrey is blind. Coming now would be embarrassing.”
“Huh?
No way?”
Everyone was curious whether Geoffrey was really blind or faking it. If it was true, there would be a good show.
Finally, Geoffrey came in, led by the butler.

Everyone looked toward the door and saw the man dressed elegantly, but his once sharp eyes had lost their sparkle, and he had to be led by the butler into the hall.
After Geoffrey arrived, he didn’t greet anyone.
Heather walked up and said to Nicholas, “Dad, after Geoff had the car accident, the doctor said he needs more rest. Since he’s here now, why not let him go back and rest?”
Nicholas saw that Geoffrey really couldn’t see and didn’t make things difficult. He was about to let him leave when Edward spoke up from the side, “Aunt, Geoff has managed to come out for once. Let’s all gather and not rush to leave.”
“Yes, yes, we all want to chat with Geoff.”
Others chimed in agreement.
Heather’s expression darkened as she glanced at the old man.
Nicholas rose with his cane: “Dinner comes first, then the family memorial service. Recovery can
wait.”
“Heather, come to my study.”
“Alright.”
Heather knew this meant trouble.
Once she left, everyone dropped formalities, whispering about Geoffrey. Nearby, Alex sipped tea silently, observing everything with detached coldness.
Edward approached Geoffrey: “Geoff, never thought you’d end up like this?!”
Geoffrey’s face turned icy: “Who are you?”
Edward paused, assuming blindness obscured him:
“Edward. Can’t you recognize my voice?”
Edward…
Geoffrey searched his memories, recalling this incompetent cousin.
“Ah. Six months ago, your real estate venture collapsed. New company up yet?”
Edward choked on his words.

His wife Kathleen stepped forward defensively:

“Brother–in–law, I know you’re bitter about losing your sight and company control, but don’t take it out on my husband.”
“It wasn’t my husband who took your position. If you want to find someone to blame, it should be him ”
Kathleen’s gaze landed on Alex sipping tea alone.
Geoffrey had no interest in chatting with these people and turned to leave.
Edward deliberately stuck out his leg in front of everyone,
trying to trip him up for public humiliation.
“Hey Dad, what are you doing?
Uncle will fall if you do that!”
An unexpected voice piped up–it was Willie.
Edward froze, face stiffening.
Others shot him contemptuous glances, while Geoffrey paused, suddenly understanding.
Kathleen quickly pulled Willie aside, urging him to go play outside.
Geoffrey then asked the butler to find him a seat.
Whispers swirled around him,
pierced by sympathetic, mocking, and contemptuous stares.
Geoffrey’s hands clenched unconsciously.
He’d remember everything from today.
Soon enough-
he’d make every single one of them pay.
