Chapitre 236: The Brothers Past

George lowered his head, his voice softening as he continued, "Well, that's because my mom was sick and dying. I couldn't leave her alone." His gaze dropped to the floor, lost in memories.

"In the past, my mother was just a maid at one of Father's villas. But when I was a child, I was weak. That was why she decided to take me to meet him. She needs a lot of money to treat me."

Cassius's face twisted in anger as he crossed his arms. "You don't need to call him 'Father.' He doesn't deserve that title!"

Scratching the back of his head, George gave a sheepish grin. "But I've got no one else to call 'Father.'"

The room grew even quieter. Amane paused, spoon halfway to Farty's mouth, and even the little girl stopped eating, listening intently to George's story. Everyone looked at him with a mix of sympathy and sorrow.
