?Chapter 1137:


    The information from the intelligence department verified Dani’s suspicion.


    Laney had a child eleven months after Hamilton’s trip to Olisvine. This child was sent to Autumn Orphanage and was adopted at the age of five, then given the name Cedric Phillips.


    Therefore, Cedric was Hamilton’s son, his firstborn, and held the primary right to inherit.


    The reports also indicated that Hamilton’s health was deteriorating, prompting him to consider which of his children should inherit the family legacy.


    When Cedric entered the room, he noticed Dani’s and Caiden’s intense stares.


    “What’s going on?” he asked, carrying breakfast. “Dani, I bought you breakfast. Come and try it.”


    Caiden murmured to Dani, “The heir to the world’s wealthiest family got up early to buy you breakfast.”


    Dani gave him a stern look. “Speak out of turn again, and you’re dead.”


    Her gaze was so intense that Caiden visibly recoiled.


    Cedric, unfazed, went to the kitchen, arranged the breakfast on a te, and set it before Dani. “Try this.”


    Dani took a bite of the breakfast, chewing without much thought. Caiden began to eat the rest and asked Cedric, “This is amazing! Where’d you buy it?”


    Cedric’s gaze followed Dani as she disappeared up the stairs,ptop in hand.


    He turned to Caiden, eyebrows raised. “What was that about earlier? The wealthiest family?”


    Caiden choked mid-bite, the food lodged ufortably in his throat. After coughing for a while, he said, “I said nothing!”


    Cedric, sensing something off, narrowed his eyes. “This got anything to do with me?”

    Caiden froze, jaw ck in shock.


    He attempted a quick getaway, but Cedric’s voice,ced with quiet menace, stopped him cold. “If my wife can take someone down, so can I.”


    Caiden looked ready to weep. “Come on, have mercy! You both treat me like the weakest link and keep ganging up on me!”


    And with that, he took off like a startled rabbit.


    Cedric squinted, lost in thought, his gaze lingering on the animated show Dani had left ying.


    After a moment, his attention drifted to Jack, happily lost in his toys on the floor.


    When Dani returned downstairs, she found Cedric in the kitchen, side by side with Ruth, cooking. She had never met a man so effortlessly domestic.


    He wasn’t the type to frequent bars, brag about his achievements, or waste hours socializing.


    Instead, he found contentment in quiet routines—cooking meals, washing fruit for her, tending to the garden. Simple things, yet strangely reassuring.


    “Cedric is truly remarkable,” Caiden remarked. Ever since discovering Cedric was Hamilton’s eldest son, he had grown even fonder of him.


    “He moves seamlessly between the boardroom and the kitchen, yet never asks anything of you. If your mother were still here, she would be proud.”
