The Queen They Buried (by Wynter Vans) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553

Back in Rithol City, Alvin’s name was basically a golden ticket and everyone who saw him would respectfully address him as “Mr. Turner.”

“Hello, Grandpa. I’m a college student. I met Mr. Nelson while conducting field research for my project. He mentioned a few things about Mistmere, and I thought this place would be a great fit for my study, so I came along with him.”

“Oh. I sec.” Pontus responded, though he didn’t really understand what that meant.

Jacob explained, “This young man is a top student. After talking with him, I realized… Dad, I’ve been wrong all these years. I didn’t consider your feelings, and I hardly ever came back to visit you.”

He held Pontus’s hand as a few tears slipped down his face.

Pontus’s eyes turned red with emotion as he patted his son’s hand, comforting, “It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back.”

“And may I ask your last name, young man?” Now that he knew his son had come back because of Alvin, Pontus looked at him with much more kindness.

Alvin smiled in response, “It’s Turner.”

Something’s definitely fishy here, Aubree thought. ‘Like I’d ever believe Alvin just happened to bump into Jacob by chance.

‘No wonder they said people from Wilson Group and Turner Group showed up early, but all I saw was Carmen.

Alvin probably looked into Pontus ahead of time. Just listening to Pontus talk, it’s not hard to figure out what kind of guy Jacob is.

Jacob wants money, and he thinks Pontus is a burden. But when the cash is big enough, even a “little hassle” stops being a hassle.

‘I’ve gotta admit, Alvin really knows how to play his cards. He finds the weak spot, and even the trickiest problem can be solved with just a few words.

When Pontus heard that Alvin’s last name was Turner, too, he exclaimed, “Well, isn’t that a coincidence? You and this kid here share the same last

name.

“You know, I feel like you two are really similar. You even look a bit alike.”

‘Similar? Please. They don’t just share a last name; they’re literally family,‘ Aubree snarked to herself.

Judging by the way things were going, Aubree figured Bowen and Alvin weren’t about to admit they were related.
