Comeback Of The Adored Heiress -
Chapter 411
Chapter 411:
“Of course I am happy,” Belen said, snapping back to reality.
Seeing Belen’s expression, Madisyn changed her outfit and exited the lab. It was getting dark. Andrew had completed his work, and they planned to meet at the hospital.
Inside the hospital ward, Jada was passing the time by playing chess with Damari.
“Andrew, Madisyn, you’re back,” Jada called out, welcoming them as though she were part of the Klein family and hosting on behalf of Damari.
Andrew disregarded her, while Madisyn merely smiled.
Damari spoke to Madisyn. “Your parents were here this afternoon. Tell them not to worry about me. I’m doing well.”
Madisyn replied quietly.
With their arrival, the mood in the ward grew more vibrant and cheerful. They engaged in conversation, and soon, another pair arrived. It was Bruno and Dora. Both of them looked worn out. Andrew’s expression became gloomy and unfriendly when he saw them. Bruno, avoiding Andrew’s gaze, turned to Damari and inquired, “Dad, how are you feeling?”
Damari grunted dismissively, showing no interest in conversing with them.
Dora, visibly distressed, had reached out to Andrew earlier in the day, hoping he would help get Corbett out of the police station. Since Andrew had ignored their pleas, they decided to turn to Damari, knowing Andrew might listen to his advice.
“Dad, Corbett has been taken to the police station. You know the conditions there. How can he withstand it?”
“If he can’t handle it, he should not have committed the acts he did!” Damari retorted sharply, his severity startling everyone present.
Dora bit her lip and said, “Corbett hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s all a misunderstanding.”
“If it truly is a misunderstanding, then the police will release him once they figure that out,” Damari responded with detached calmness.
Dora was visibly uneasy. She knew that Corbett was guilty, but how had Andrew obtained the evidence?
Dora couldn’t stand the thought of her only son behind bars. She kept giving Bruno meaningful glances.
Reluctantly, Bruno said, “Dad, I understand Corbett has disappointed you this time, but you’ve always overlooked him since his childhood. He’s been trying to make you proud. Corbett is our only grandson. His imprisonment would tarnish your name too, wouldn’t it? Dad, I assure you, once Corbett is out, he won’t try to be the CEO of the company again. Please, help him!” Damari turned away and shut his eyes.
Yet, Bruno could see that his words had affected Damari. Damari had only two grandsons, and the thought of one in jail was unbearable. Bruno waited hopefully for Damari’s response. If Damari consented, Andrew would have to relent, regardless of his own wishes.
Humph! Perhaps Corbett could still replace a way to outdo Andrew in the future!
“Everyone must face the consequences of their actions. Just because he’s my grandson, should he be exempt from responsibility?” Damari responded unexpectedly. Bruno’s expression darkened. “Dad, will you really just watch Corbett be sent to jail?”
“Your words imply that he is indeed guilty. Then shouldn’t he face the consequences?” Damari retorted.
But Bruno and Dora were not convinced by Damari’s stance and realized he would not intervene for Corbett. Dora, overwhelmed by emotion, said bitterly, “If you hadn’t favored Andrew, would Corbett be in this position? He’s always been overshadowed by Andrew. If he hadn’t cared about making you proud, how could he have strived so hard? Yes, he made a mistake this time, but aren’t you also to blame?”
Bruno lowered his voice and said, “Stop it! How can you speak to my father like that?” Although he was reprimanding his wife, his voice lacked anger.
Damari remained silent.
Andrew then said, “You may go now. Even if Grandpa were to agree, I would not. Corbett’s offenses extend beyond what you know. Do you want me to lay them out for you?”
His gaze was dark and icy, and his presence seemed to fill the room with a chilling aura. In Andrew’s heart, there was no room for mercy. He had been patient with Corbett only to wait for the opportunity to confront him when the time was right.
Dora was beyond tears. She understood her husband too well. Corbett had likely done far worse. Reluctantly, Dora softened her approach. “Andrew, Corbett is your cousin. He’s been misguided. He’s now seen the difference between you and him. Could you consider giving him another chance? I promise to keep a closer eye on him from now on and ensure he doesn’t make mistakes again. Managing the Klein Group alone must be exhausting for you. Surely there are tasks Corbett could help with. The unity between you two is more important than anything else.”
Andrew mentioned, “Corbett has always been overshadowed by me. So why should I keep such a dangerous individual close?” A slight smile appeared on Andrew’s face, as though he found the suggestion amusing.
