Chapter 734

Never mind the value of the gifts–the fact that the Barrera family had come bearing them was enough for the Cherrys to boast about for years. “Felipe, you truly are my pride,” Mack said, his voice full of delight. “Even the Barrera family took the initiative to deliver gifts. It seems your fiancée is far more distinguished than we imagined.

“Perhaps the Barrera family wants to befriend her because her status might even surpass theirs–she could be a key member of the Sutton family,” Mack continued, his tone now filled with newfound hope.

He had previously worried that Julio might reject his grandson as a suitable match for his daughter, and was even considering using a distant relative to patch things up.

But now, it seemed that at least the Sutton family was showing interest in Felipe. Even if she wasn’t Julio’s biological daughter, she was still a young lady with a certain status within the Sutton Group.

‘Great! The Cherry family finally has hope!‘ he thought. Mack stood proudly, lingering in front of the gift boxes sent by the Barrera family.

Leonard and Felipe also gathered around, their faces filled with joy. Tuesday stood there, staring at her ecstatic husband and son, as though she were still in a dream.

To think the Barrera family is initiating reaching out to build ties with us? I gave birth to a good son; I’ll rise with him! Once Felipe becomes the son–in–law of the Sutton family, no one will dare mention my past status!‘ she thought.

Cassian stood at the top of the stairs, observing the greedy and shameless behavior of the Cherry family with a cold gaze. He knew all too well why the Cherry family had kept him around.

Now that the Sutton family had clearly shown interest in Felipe, intending to marry their daughter to him, his health could not afford to be compromised. If a doctor capable of treating him couldn’t be found, the most reliable solution would be a heart transplant.

As Cassian had expected, Mack seemed to have realized something. He suddenly looked up, and Cassian saw malice and calculation in his eyes. It was as if he couldn’t wait to have Cassian’s heart removed from his chest and immediately transplanted into Felipe.

Mack stared at Cassian for a moment before looking away. “Felipe, you’re the most outstanding child in our family. The glory of the Cherry family will rely on you to secure it in the future. You’re a fortunate one, unlike that lowly bastard.”

Felipe proudly raised his eyebrows at Cassian. He knew his value to the Cherry family was priceless, thinking, ‘I’m about to join a prestigious family and become the son–in–law of the Sutton family, while you’re just a bastard! Apart from that, a healthy heart, you’re of no value!‘

A flicker of mockery passed through Cassian’s deep eyes, but he chose not to argue. Instead, he turned and headed back to his room. Unlike the primary personality, he didn’t have the skills to defend himself.

If the Cherry family truly lost all restraint and decided to act, he wasn’t confident he could make it out alive. Worse still, he had no control over when the arrogant one or the others might awaken, and if danger came before any of them resurfaced, he would be left completely vulnerable.

Cassian instinctively touched the ruby ring on his left ring finger. It had been a gift from his queen, Raven, and symbolized their bond. At the thought of her, the charm in his dark, captivating eyes softened into unmistakable tenderness.

Ever since that night at the hotel in Broson City, he hadn’t seen Raven in a long time. The arrogant one must have followed Tuesday back to Forreb after uncovering some lead, likely choosing not to alert her to keep her from worrying. But knowing her temperament,‘ she would no doubt return if she sensed they were in danger.

“This is a headache…” Cassian sighed, absently fiddling with the ring on his ring finger. “I want you to come back, but at the same time, I don’t want you to return. My queen, you once said this ring would let me feel your heart–so tell me, what am I supposed to do with you?”
