Caden continued to peel the apple with a knife, his movements slow and seemingly casual, but an unapproachable chill surrounded him. “A girlfriend who gave her own father a woman, you married her, Ryan? And then watched her continue to give you women in order to win your favor?” 

Xander looked at Caden in disbelief, tightly clenching his fist. 

‘What nonsense are you talking about?” 

Caden lowered his gaze and said calmly, “Did that woman never come looking for you again? Because Ryan personally took care of her. Maybe you forgot, because in your eyes, that kind of woman is just like clothes, old ones go and new ones come.” 

Xander’s lips trembled lightly. 

When the eldest brother came to the Baldwin family, he was already three years old, but Ryan was just born and was sent into the Baldwin family. He was the child my mother personally raised day and night. In his heart, my mother was his biological mother. After witnessing the double betrayal of his girlfriend and father, he couldn’t face my mother at all. 

“Why do you dislike Monica so much, apart from her lack of background and having a daughter with an unknown father? Are there any other reasons?” 

As the words fell, Caden lifted his eyes and coldly glanced at Xander.

He gasped and stared at Caden, warning him not to say anything. 

Caden, however, spoke slowly and deliberately, “When you got injured at the stable, Monica immediately went to take care of you. But afterwards, you started to dislike her more and more, not because she didn’t take good care of you, but because she saw someone she shouldn’t 

have seen.” 

“Who was the woman riding horses with you?” 

“Enough!“” Sir Baldwin coughed suddenly, his body trembling slightly

“I didn’t even know that I had a younger sister, nor did I know how well they were doing, mother and daughter, in New Zealand. If it weren’t for Monica’s simple–mindedness and lack of thought, with this explosive secret, she would have already established herself in the Baldwin family.”

He stood on the top of the mountain, having experienced the admiration of too many women and having held the power of life and death over others. 

He could be said to be arrogant, but he did indeed have the ability to be arrogant. 

Even at this age, I still secretly controlled many things and many people. 

The Baldwin family was like a huge web, visible was the prosperity of the large family, invisible were the entanglements of interests, intricately complex. 

That’s how reality is, the more we dislike, the harder it is to kill. 

Sir Baldwin calmly and casually said, “They, the mother and daughter, would not threaten you, and they would never set foot in the Baldwin family’s doorstep. They only occasionally come back to visit me.”

“Your mother’s tablet was placed in the Baldwin’s ancestral hall! She was my only wife! Why did I not remarry after her death, if not because I acknowledged her?” Sir Baldwin emphasized. 

During the argument, the apple was peeled. 

Caden held the apple and stared at the marks that had been forcefully scratched on it. 

Xander looked at him without saying a word, thinking that he had agreed with his words, and immediately became more composed. 

He instead appeared to be a kind fatherly figure. 

“Caden, although you were aloof, I knew that you were the most sentimental. You cherished your mother’s belongings, otherwise you wouldn’t have kept the scarf and sweater she knitted for you over a decade ago.”

rhetoric. 

When his mother died, he was still young, and all the inheritance left to him was under the control of Xander, who acted as his guardian. 

Since he took over the Baldwin Group, he has been working tirelessly to establish a firm foothold, all in order to retrieve his mother’s belongings. 

Caden placed the apple in the dish in front of Sir Baldwin and said lightly, “So, do you know why I insisted on reclaiming my mother’s 

inheritance?” 

Sir Baldwin propped himself up and reminisced, “Of course, it was to help enhance your strength. Your mother and I caused quite a sensation when we got married back then, both coming from prominent noble families. Unfortunately, your mother’s family declined after she gave birth to you.” 

“Didn’t you realize how Grandma’s family went bankrupt? You conspired with the uncles and cousins below to make wrong decisions that led to the bankruptcy, and then you bought their company at the lowest price. My mom originally wanted to save the company with her dowry, but you had already deceived her into transferring the dowry to my name, so that you could veto her rights to handle the dowry,” Caden said coldly. 

“You…” 

Caden ignored Xander’s astonishment and slowly got up, moving a few steps closer. 

“How did I know? My mother… she died in my arms, she told me, she wanted me to take everything back. You all think children don’t remember, but I remember every single detail.” 

‘Including the day I saw it in your office.” 

Not only Bruce and Ryan were seen entangled, but also many other couples. 

Caden, who was secretly following them, also saw it. 

Xander breathed heavily, before he could even react, there was a click sound in his ear, and the fruit knife was inserted directly into the apple 

in front of him. 

The apple appears smooth, but the plate underneath it had already shattered into pieces. 

Caden

After finishing, 

He stared straight ahead and said, “If you want to live a peaceful life, stop pretending to be sick all the time. Be careful, because if you actually get sick, we, as your sons, will have to sign the documents.” 

Sir 

face turned pale, and he angrily exclaimed, “You, how dare
