Knox picked up the documents and placed them on his desk, leaning on his cane as he stood. "Come on, let's go clear your head outside." "Alright."

Daniel followed him downstairs, his thoughts still lingering on Isaac.

Was Grandpa investigating Dad because Dad's identity was exposed?

After the walk with the old man, Daniel returned to his room.

He texted Isaac: [Dad, Grandpa seems to be looking into you. Did you do something wrong?]

Isaac was aware that the Lynette family was investigating him.

After all, his relationship with Brittany had been exposed. How could it not attract attention?

[Got it.]

In the following days, Elijah made a point of showing goodwill towards Isaac.

He gave up a portion of his shares and even punished the confidant who had leaked the photos, all to let Isaac know he was a man of principle. Isaac just smiled it off.

"Mr. Ulbricht's sincerity is noted. Let's hope there isn't a next time."

How could Elijah dare to have a next time?

...

Early autumn brought a shocking news from the royal family.

The young Princess Ivy, a passionate philanthropist, was murdered during a public event, dying on the spot.

The news spread, and in less than half an hour, it topped the Twitter trends.

Ivy was well-known in Craneville, a favorite princess of many.

She was also one of the royal family's spokespersons.

Such a significant incident shook Craneville to its core.

The bodyguards caught the murderer on the spot, and Ivy died instantly.

The royal family, furious upon hearing the news, ordered a thorough investigation of the entire matter.

The royal PR department almost used this incident to uproot all the dark forces in Craneville!

Upon hearing the news, Brittany immediately represented the Lynette family on a visit to the queen's mansion.

The mansion was immersed in sorrow, the queen appeared calm, but the bloodshot in her eyes was evident.

Many surrounded the queen, offering warm wishes and urging her to take care of her health.

Brittany, who had been making a name for herself in Craneville, had met the queen on a few occasions. "Ms. Lynette, you're here."

The queen's personal secretary greeted her upon arrival. "The queen is not in the best mood; please forgive our lack of care." "That's alright."

Brittany conveyed her condolences through a maid and was about to leave.

"Wait."

The maid stopped Brittany. "The queen wishes to speak with you."

"Me?"

Brittany was visibly shocked, clearly not expecting the queen to want to see her alone.

"Yes, please follow me."

The maid led Brittany upstairs to the queen's study, where after about half an hour, the queen arrived.

"Sorry, there were too many people downstairs." The queen looked somewhat weary. "I made you wait."

Brittany was flattered: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

The queen sat down, had her secretary pour two cups of coffee, and then said, "Bri, I've always liked you. I heard your husband passed away a long time ago. Have you started seeing someone new?" Brittany's grip on her coffee cup paused, clearly not expecting her personal life to catch the royal attention.

"I have."

Brittany answered honestly.

The queen seemed surprised but quickly regained her composure.

Brittany didn't know why the queen was asking these questions and didn't dare to ask outright. Fortunately, the queen shifted the conversation to other matters, and Brittany managed throughout. Before leaving, the queen asked one more question: "Ms. Lynette, how long have you been with your current boyfriend?"

"Less than a month."

Her relationship with Isaac had indeed been confirmed for less than a month.

"Alright."

Leaving the queen's mansion, Brittany felt uneasy. Upon returning home, she saw Yuri sitting in the living room. "Bri, come here, I have something to tell you."
