"I reckon a few recipes won't mean much to her," Dane shrugged off the concern. After thinking it over, he added, "Hasn't she taken advantage of our family a few times before? Asking her for those recipes isn't too much, right?"

Nikolai, upon hearing this, pressed a hand to his chest, trying to calm the turmoil within. "What did the Reeves family do to deserve someone as shameless as you?" he asked, disbelief etched in his voice.

Seeing his father struggling for breath, Dane, not wanting to push him further, whispered, "Think it over tonight when you get home. We're family, after all. You should be looking out for my future."

With that, Dane avoided meeting his father's gaze, turned away, and restarted the car. As they drove on, he glanced in the rearview mirror and, clenching his jaw, added, "If I can't get those ancient recipes, with Presley's ways, it won't just be me—our whole family will be in trouble."

Nikolai's eyes widened, disbelief clouding his expression.
