Chapter 1283:

“They’re absolutely wonderful,” she replied warmly.

“Let’s enjoy them together.”

“Alright.”

The meal progressed in a veneer of harmony, bringing rare life to Klein Manor. Even Damari ate a lot.

Afterward, he eagerly drew Madisyn into a game of chess. Their match was interrupted midway by her phone’s ring.

“No matter,” Damari said with understanding.

“Andrew can take your place. Go ahead and handle your business, Madisyn.”

As Madisyn relinquished her seat to Andrew and stepped away with her phone, Andrew and Damari faced each other. Damari made his move, then spoke with deceptive casualness.

“I heard about your recent activities. Isn’t managing Klein Group enough for you? Why do you have to get involved in those risky organizational missions? If you’d spared a thought for Madisyn before acting, you’d never have made such a choice. Must I watch you follow your mother’s path?”

Andrew studied the chessboard, his expression calm as he placed a piece. Without looking up, he said in an even tone, “I know exactly what I’m doing. You don’t have to remind me—or bring up my mother every time. I made it clear from the start that one of my conditions for taking over the Klein Group was to uphold her legacy. You agreed to that.”

Damari’s grip tightened around his chess piece, his frustration evident.

“Agreed? Do you think I had a choice? Would I have said yes if you weren’t so damn stubborn?”

He let out a heavy sigh, his sharp gaze fixed on Andrew’s unyielding expression. The young man was every bit as headstrong as his parents had been.

“Your mother came from a different world,” Damari continued, his voice firm.

“She grew up in an environment most people wouldn’t survive in. I respected her choices and supported her. But before she and your father passed, they entrusted you and your sister to me—for a reason. They didn’t want you tangled in the same dangers they faced. I let a lot of things slide before, but this is different. You’re not alone anymore. Madisyn is an incredible woman—she deserves your love and protection. Yet, instead of focusing on her, you went to find your maternal grandfather and got involved in the Perkins family’s affairs. First, the Perkins family—what next? One step into this world, and it will keep pulling you deeper. Listen to me, Andrew. Walk away. Withdraw from the Qiviut Organization before it’s too late. Your grandfather won’t trouble you for your mother’s sake.”

Andrew remained unmoved. Without a word, he poured Damari a cup of tea and nudged it toward him.

“It’s your turn,” he said simply.

“You—!” Damari clenched his jaw. That defiant look in Andrew’s eyes told him that he had no intention of backing down.

Placing his chess piece down, Damari lowered his voice, his tone laced with warning.

“If you refuse to listen, I’ll tell Madisyn everything you’ve done. Let’s see if she’ll still stand by you after knowing you’ve joined that dangerous organization.”

Andrew’s hand stilled. His deep, unwavering gaze locked onto Damari.

“Grandpa.” His voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable edge to it.

Damari hesitated, realizing that even this threat couldn’t shake Andrew’s resolve. He sighed inwardly. No matter what he said, Andrew wouldn’t back down. Frustration welled up inside him.
