He possesses great wisdom, fully aware of the hidden murderous intent behind his brother’s seemingly warm words.


    Inwardly, he clenched his teeth, thinking, “James, James! You had your chance and now you’vended us in trouble!”


    “Although I share some responsibility, the Banks Family’s current predicament isn’t solely on me. It’s the old man’s doing! Yet here’s James, publiclyying all the me on me. He’s forcing me to shoulder this burden!”


    “If I ept this me, I’ll be branded a sinner;”


    “But if I refuse to take the fall, the old man will surely think poorly of me! He will definitely harbor a deep hatred!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “And James keeps insisting in front of the old man that I am the future leader of the Banks Family. Is he trying to help me? No, this feels like a trap!” He realized, “The old man is still alive and firmly controls the entire Banks Family! By continually stating that I am the future helm, James is making the old man wary of me!”


    “Throughout history, emperors have always been cautious of their heirs! They assume the prince is eyeing the throne and waiting for their demise. The old man must feel the same way about me!”


    “Now with James bringing this up, the old man will only grow more suspicious!”


    “What’s worse, James’s actions are effectively aiding the old man in his schemes! He’s the kind of man who would use his own granddaughter’s life to barter for power, disregarding blood ties!”


    “Yet here I am, suddenly thrust into the spotlight after James’s reckless words! The old man must be relishing this turn of events!”


    As Zayne had anticipated, after James’sments, Lord Banks’s expression brightened significantly.


    He thought to himself, “So the burden just keeps shifting, and here I am, celebrating James’s calcted delivery!”<fndba5> Get full chapters from FιndＮovel</fndba5>


    Then, he turned to Zayne with a cold demeanor, “Zayne! What’s your take on what James just said?”


    Zayne felt a wave of despair wash over him.


    “What do you think I am? I’m his brother. What do you expect? My true feelings are irrelevant! But can I voice that? Absolutely not!”


    “I really want to tell everyone that James is talking nonsense. Doesn’t that just mean he’s trying to shift the me onto our father again? With our father’s temperament, how could I possibly expect a good future?”


    With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Zayne sighed deeply. “No matter how much I want to protest, in the end, I’ll have to swallow my words!”


    Thus, he feigned humility and said, “Dad, I ept everything James has said. It’s my fault, and I acknowledge I didn’t handle it properly. I promise to take this as a lesson and improve!”


    Instantly, Lord Banks felt a weight lift off his chest. It seemed that close rtionships often involve shifting me. Much like how a husbandins about his wife’s care, while she retorts about his time spent on trivial matters, the cycle continues. As long as me can be ced elsewhere—even on a son—it’s a small victory.


    He nodded approvingly and said, “As a member of the Banks family, you must learn to be less impulsive. It’s time to refine your approach.”


    Clearing his throat, he continued, “Ahem, here’s the n! Until this situation is fully resolved, you should keep a low profile and head to Australia for a while. Let’s wait for the storm to pass!”
