The tension in the room had become so thick you could almost slice it. Julius’s face darkened the moment Oliver opened his mouth. "Nonsense!" he barked, his voice sharp enough to silence the room. But Oliver, ever the eager performer, didn't miss a beat.
"Granduncle, you don't understand," Oliver said, leaning forward with a feigned sincerity. "Melissa and Jake are only after my money. But Marisa and Selena? They genuinely care about me. Just look at how much better my relationship with Grandma has become since they arrived. It's all thanks to them. They're far more respectful than Melissa and Jake could ever be."
It was a brazen, theatrical performance, and yet the words hung in the air like poisoned honey. Julius’s frown deepened, but before he could respond, his attention shifted. Now wasn’t the time for family squabbles. Not with the one person who mattered most sitting frail and quiet in her chair.
He turned to old Mrs. Horton, his voice softening. "How have you been lately?"
She smiled gently, her eyes warm with the innocence of someone who had already begun to slip away from the world. "I've been doing well. Don't worry."
Julius walked over and sat down beside her. The two of them began to talk, their conversation moving through family memories and quiet reflections. Julius did most of the speaking, while old Mrs. Horton simply smiled, nodding softly as if she recognized the rhythm of his voice more than the words themselves.
For Julius, sitting there felt like a return to childhood—following his sister-in-law around, feeling her patience and kindness like a warm sun. She had always been a mother to him. And now, watching her fade, his heart ached with a grief he couldn't put into words.
The room fell into a fragile calm. But it didn't last.
Nathan finally broke the silence, his voice smooth as silk. "Uncle, perfect timing that you're here. We were just about to go over Mom's will again. With you here, you can be a witness. And, to be honest, your presence should keep Lewis in line."
So that was the real reason Julius had been summoned. Discussing the will could have been handled with just the lawyer. But Nathan knew that without Julius’s authority, Lewis wouldn't bow. Lewis had grown up in the old family estate and still carried a certain respect for Julius. If Julius were present, Lewis would have no choice but to show them courtesy.
As Nathan silently congratulated himself, he cast a lingering glance at Lewis.
Lewis remained calm. His jaw was set, his eyes low, but he said nothing.
Julius frowned slightly. He studied Lewis before turning back to Nathan. "How exactly do you want to change it?"
Nathan cleared his throat, sensing victory. "Well, naturally, everything that belongs to Mom should go to me! As her son, I'm the first in line to inherit. It's only right."
What Nathan didn’t say aloud was that once he controlled the shares, he would pass them to Oliver. Everything would eventually end up in Oliver’s hands. The plan was simple: use the old lady’s confusion to strip Lewis of his inheritance, then hand the family empire to the son Nathan always believed deserved it.
Oliver sat nearby, already basking in the glow of future victory. A smug smile curled at the corner of his lips.
But Julius wasn't convinced. "That doesn't seem right," he said slowly. "I distinctly remember my sister-in-law saying she was leaving her shares to Lewis."
"That was before," Nathan interrupted, his voice rising just enough to show frustration. "But you've seen it yourself, Uncle. Lewis and his wife don't show her an ounce of respect anymore. She doesn't even recognize them! We have to revise the will, or the family members who truly care will be left out in the cold. Isn't that right?"
Julius’s brow furrowed. He turned to Lewis, his gaze heavy. "Is that true?"
Lewis lowered his gaze, saying nothing. In his mind, not spending every waking moment with his grandmother already felt like a failure. He had no defense to offer, no clever words to shield himself from the accusation. His silence was both his shame and his surrender.
But Keira wasn’t about to let him be unfairly accused. She stepped forward, her voice clear and unwavering. "Of course not! Granduncle, you know better than anyone how Lewis treats Grandma."
Julius nodded slowly. "That's right. Lewis has always been devoted to her..."
Nathan sighed, shaking his head as if disappointed. "That was the past. Ever since he got married, his entire world has revolved around his wife. What about us? We hardly even see him anymore, and even Grandma barely sees him once every couple of weeks. If that weren't the case, how could she remember the rest of us and forget only him?"
The accusation was clever, meant to poison every memory Julius held. And it worked. Julius's frown deepened.
Ever since the family moved from Oceanion to Clance, he had stepped back from the day-to-day affairs of the Horton Group. He wasn't as in the loop about the recent family dynamics. But now, with doubt planted, he needed to know for himself.
He turned to old Mrs. Horton again, his voice gentle yet searching. "Do you really not recognize Lewis? He's sitting right there."
Following Julius's gaze, old Mrs. Horton looked at Lewis. She smiled kindly at him, just as she always had—a soft, loving smile that seemed to come from a place of pure habit. She studied him for a long, painful moment.
Then she spoke. "No, I don't recognize him."
The words landed like a stone thrown into a still lake. Ripples of shock spread through the room.
Julius was stunned. He hadn’t expected that.
Oliver couldn’t contain himself any longer. "See, Granduncle? Now you know who the real dutiful family members are!"
But Julius clenched his jaw. His voice was firm, brooking no argument. "My sister-in-law's illness is clouding her judgment. If she can't even recognize Lewis, we absolutely cannot change her will."
It was the right decision—the protective, honorable one. But Nathan wasn’t ready to retreat.
"Why not?" Nathan objected, his tone sharp. "Back when Lewis was monopolizing her attention, she naturally distanced herself from us. But Oliver and I are her son and grandson. She's bound to care for us, right? Uncle, you have grandchildren of your own. Could you really leave everything to just one, ignoring the others?"
The question was a trap, and Julius could feel it closing in. He paused. His heart wrestled with logic, his memories of a woman who had once been so sharp and certain now blurred by the cruel fog of illness.
He furrowed his brow, clearly torn. Then, he turned to old Mrs. Horton one last time. He looked into her gentle, distant eyes, and asked directly, "Do you want to change your will?"
The entire room held its breath.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter hit right in the chest. The emotional weight of watching a strong matriarch fade while vultures circle around her is both heartbreaking and infuriating. Nathan and Oliver are so painfully transparent, yet their manipulation is terrifyingly effective because they're using her sickness as their weapon. Lewis's silence broke my heart—he loves his grandmother so deeply, but his quiet devotion isn't as loud as Nathan’s scheming. And Julius? He’s caught between honor and doubt, and you can feel his turmoil. The cliffhanger leaves me desperate for more. This chapter was tense, emotional, and brilliantly written.
⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
I believe old Mrs. Horton will give an answer that surprises everyone. Even in her clouded memory, deep inside her heart, she may remember Lewis—perhaps not his face, but the feeling of his love. The will might not change as Nathan hopes, or it may change in a way that exposes the true intentions of Oliver and Nathan. I also suspect Keira will find proof or reveal a hidden secret that shifts the power balance. Julius's decision will likely become the turning point of this family war.
