Old Mr. Labbe said, “After thirty years, it won’t be easy for him to collect evidence. But if he has the patriarch’s token, seal, or totem, he can reveal his identity openly.”
“On the surface, he already has the ability to take over the Labbe family. With his capabilities, if he steps in… do you think we’ll have any chance left? Do you think the clan will resist him?”
Old Mrs. Labbe said quietly, “Our generation—and Timothy’s—have done too many wrongs. We won’t have a good ending.”
“But the grandchildren are innocent. They’re still young. Sending them abroad, away from all this, is a way to preserve our bloodline.”
“Let them take whatever assets they can with them.”
“Even if Titus comes back to settle accounts, at least everything we’ve built over the decades won’t all fall into his hands. Some of it will remain with our grandchildren.”
She paused, then added, “Keep Renata here.”
