A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1171

The moment Damien stepped out of the study and heard these words, his calm face instantly turned gloomy. Just when he thought he had gotten rid of Tyler's problem, Aidyn's issue popped up. His life was a real rollercoaster.

With a deadpan stare at Aidyn, Damien made Aidyn slowly raise his head.

"Did you tell Liana that Tyler's ashes were scattered in the sea?"

Without a hint of emotion, Damien curled his lip. "I simply told her that Tyler had kicked the bucket. When Liana came to mourn, I told her the truth. Did I do something wrong?"

Aidyn extracted the knife embedded in the couch, skimming his finger lightly over the sharp edge. "You're right. If you hadn't exposed everything to Liana, she would still be here."

Damien couldn't quite gauge the emotion in Aidyn's voice, but he understood the gravity of his words. Rather than retort, Damien shifted his demeanor, putting on an innocent, youthful expression as he approached Hackett.

"Dad, if my big brother is returning to run the family business, do I still have to study management?"

Hackett had been pushing Damien to take management courses early on, aiming to hasten his maturity.

"You think he can just waltz back in if he feels like it?"

After answering Damien's question, Hackett shot Aidyn a cold look.

"I personally went to fetch you, but you refused to return. You said you wouldn't come back to the Howell family. If you were so adamant, why are you back now?"

Aidyn smirked. "I did say I wouldn't return to the Howell family, but what I want now is the right to inherit the family."

He planned to sell off all the shares of the Howell family after inheriting it, giving the money to those in need!
