Chapter 1068
Elliot did not ask ‘who do you want’ but instead, “What if I don’t?”
Henry laughed awkwardly. “I wonder how Mom would feel if she was still alive and saw us turn against each other.”
“Don’t put pressure on me using Mom’s name!” Elliot scolded. “You and your son killed her. You have no right to bring that up!”
“I have no right, you say? Where do you think my right came from?” Henry was breathing noticeably heavily. “At least I’m her biological son! What about you, Elliot? How long do you think you can keep up this lie? You’ve already taken over my brother’s life. Are you honestly going to imprison him illegally for the rest of your life?!”
“Imprison him?” Elliot was stunned by those two words. “And you’re saying that I took over his life? Do you think Mom’s hands are clean? She was the one who created this in the first place!”
“Even though she switched Adrian with you, I can’t continue perpetuating her mistakes. More so now that she’s dead. Hand Adrian over to me! He’s my brother, and I’m not dead yet! You have no business bullying him!”
“He’s just a silly kid. What use would you have for someone like that?” Elliot retorted. “Do you even have the financial ability to be supporting someone who doesn’t have a job? You can’t even guarantee your livelihood and that of your son’s. You only want Adrian so you can threaten me, right?”
Henry saw red. “Ask yourself whether I’ve ever treated you badly in all my years as your elder brother. I haven’t! I just want to reunite with my biological younger brother, so why won’t you let me? What grounds are you stopping me on?! You’re sitting at the top of the Sterling Group. Why would you be scared of an ordinary person like me? Do you really think I wouldn’t find some other way of threatening you even if I don’t bring him back with me?!” He roared.
The atmosphere in the living room was unbelievably tense, as if everything was hanging by a thread.
“It’s still possible for you to continue using this ‘Elliot’ identity, but please just let me bring Adrian home.” Henry lowered his voice with the intention of negotiating. “I… I just found out about it two days ago. My mind is all over the place right now, APIMKA;7 I don’t want to think about anything else for the time being. I just want to bring home my biological younger brother.”
Memories of the past appeared in Elliot’s mind when he saw Henry’s deflated expression.
He had never been close to Henry due to the huge age gap, but they were later able to live in harmony under their mother’s guidance.
Although they had long known that they were not biologically related, the affection built up over the past few decades was still genuine.

This book is still ongoing? The last input was in August 2022 and this is 2025. What happened to the authors?...
What? He blocked Avery? No news of their daughter Haze and he didn't even know about her blindness. I don't like this author at all. Stupid ending ........
