“It’s undeniable—Ms. Campbell’s eyes mirror those of the Morrison brothers.”

Reece lifted his hand to hush the crowd and began to unravel the story. “Great-uncle once defied our family’s tradition of marrying within our class for love, choosing to leave the family. The dead have passed, and originally, I hadn’t planned to disclose so much.

“However, I didn’t anticipate such skepticism about my cousin’s lineage, a doubt that almost endangered her. The Morrisons have long benefited from Josh’s genius. Carrie is his direct descendant. If anything happens to her, our family won’t sit back and do nothing.”

With a grave tone, Arion moved closer and continued, “There are no strangers among us today. You are all esteemed friends of the Webster family and close to the Morrisons as well. Concerning my cousin’s situation, I ask that you keep this confidential for now. We will soon host a family reunion where we’ll provide a full disclosure to you and the media. I hope to see all of you there.”

The revelations had everyone reeling, yet, given their experience with dramatic revelations, they refrained from further inquiries, instead extending their best wishes. “Congratulations, Reece and Arion, for discovering such a remarkable and beautiful cousin.”

Marina’s eyes widened with regret, and internally, she blamed Aliza for her predicament.

The Morrison family’s protective nature towards their daughters was legendary, and Marina had nearly sabotaged the longstanding friendship between the Morrison and Webster families.

Kristopher’s gaze on Carrie was intense and mysterious. Although his emotions were complex, he managed to keep a composed exterior.

He felt glad that Carrie found another family who cherished her as much as her own.

Yet, Kristopher saw Carrie’s new connections as an obstacle in his quest for her affection. Even if Carrie were to reciprocate his feelings, convincing the Morrison family to accept him as a nephew-in-law seemed daunting.

His wealth and influence, usually formidable, seemed trivial before the Morrisons. At that moment, Kristopher confronted a harsh truth: stripped of his wealth, his love seemed superficial—he felt he had little of substance to offer Carrie.

He was certain of the identity of his enemy, yet he found himself powerless to seek retribution for his child and for Gracie.

Briefly, he hesitated; however, Kristopher was not one to easily give up.

The disturbance shifted everyone’s focus to Daxton, with the crowd teasingly questioning, “Mr. Garcia, since you’re here with them, are you Ms. Campbell’s boyfriend?”

Camille quickly said, “I’m here too. We’ve been friends with Carrie for years. That’s all there is to it.”

Feeling unsettled from Albin’s earlier call, and aware of the repercussions any misstep in Isonridge could bring to her family, Camille felt saddened by her inability to assist Carrie.

Now, as Daxton became the topic of speculation, she clarified their platonic relationship to stop any rumors.

Daxton, wearing a gentle smile, responded softly, “At the moment, I am merely a friend of Carrie’s. Whether that changes is up to Carrie.”
