In Geoffrey’s life, there was never love, never warmth, just nothing but various harsh trainings.
He envied Skyler and despised him, so every pet Skyler raised would be mercilessly killed by him. He wanted Skyler to live in fear just like him.
He even thought about killing Skyler, that time their mother took them on a vacation to the island, and he made his move. But Skyler didn't die, and he just suffered a head injury. However, this turned him into a simpleton, stuck in perpetual childhood.
Tanya was bitterly disappointed in Skyler and never pinned her hopes on him again. She had only Geoffrey to rely on, and naturally, Geoffrey became the heir apparent of AK Group.
He planned to keep Skyler under his thumb, to turn him into his puppet. Everything was going smoothly under his threats and bribes, with Skyler nearly bending to his every word.
But what he never expected was Skyler's trip to Elysium, and everything changed. This wild card, Aurelia, appeared and disrupted his plans. Skyler was no longer obedient and even started to oppose him at every turn.
Skyler seemed to see Aurelia as his saving angel, getting swept up in her praise and starting to believe he was some kind of big shot.
What was even more infuriating was that Skyler could come and go from the Stirling family estate as he pleased, almost as if he had been officially acknowledged.
And there he was, still unable to set foot in the Stirling family estate, not part of the family tree, and certainly never to enter the Stirling family's ancestral hall. He felt like a lost soul, wandering on the outskirts.
Every time he thought of this, he seethed with anger, vowing that one day he would walk into the Stirling family estate with his head held high, taking control of the family and making everyone bow to him.
According to the Stirling family's traditions, the firstborn legitimate son was to be the heir. Without a legitimate son, the eldest would take precedence. Leopold was the only legitimate child, and if he were gone, the position would fall to the bastards, and as the eldest, it was his by right.
"Skyler, you've been a bad boy. I'll show you what happens when you betray me."
At Mossy Rock Retreat, Raines received an ominous call.
"Do you want to see your mother?"
Rains’ fingers clenched suddenly tight as he asked, "Where is she? How is she doing?"
