Chapter 358 No Son-in-law Connor laughed and patted Brandon on the shoulder as they walked out together.
The butler saw this and was unsure what to do.
Connor was Penelope's father, and even Kelvin respected him a lot. How could he stop him? After a moment, the butler awkwardly said, "Mr. Cooper, Mr. Walker can't leave with you right now." "Can't? Why not?" "It's Mr. Davis's order." Connor replied, "I get it. If he wants to see Brandon, he can cfind me." With that, Connor took Brandon away.
The butler immediately reported it to Kelvin.
After hearing the report, Kelvin just said, "Got it." He seemed calm, but then he smashed his phone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConnor never accepted Kelvin as his son-in-law.
Connor treated everyone with kindness, yet Kelvin always received a cold shoulder, his presence met with an unsettling distance.
Kelvin knew Connor resented him because of past grudges, especially the deaths of Grace and Penelope, which were a permanent pain for Connor.
For the past four years, Kelvin had been extremely respectful to Connor, even more than to Liam, but it didn't help.
Suddenly, Kelvin stood up and quickly left the office.
"Mr. Davis, there's a dinner meeting later..." Ryan reminded him, chasing after him.
"Cancel it!" Kelvin quickly disappeared.
At the suburban lake, the fishing rod and bait were still there, the willows swayed gently, and a light breeze blew. Connor sat back down and started fiddling with the fishing gear. "Why would Kelvin suddenly turn on you?" "It's tricky; she's about to be exposed." Connor looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on? Hasn't she been hiding well?" "It's a long story. Penelope and I will discuss it and solve it. Don't worry, Uncle Connor." "Every day I think about how she's doing and what the kids look like now. I want to hear them callgrandpa." Brandon smiled and said, "They're doing well. Sam even won a piano competition." "Really? That's amazing," Connor's face lit up. "And Lucy?" "Lucy is also very smart, a little princess that everyone loves." Brandon always shared the good news and kept the bad news to himself.
This was also Penelope's instruction; she didn't want Connor to worry about her.
"She must stay hidden and not be found," Connor said, as if talking to Brandon but also to himself. "There's nothing good in LA, and I don't need her to worry about me. Everyone in LA praises Kelvin's deep affection, but no one knows how he used to mistreat her." "Every tI see Kelvin's silver hair, it stings my eyes. My daughter is gone forever, and I'll never see her again. But he just needs to act sentimental, and everyone thinks he's so great." "Thank goodness for you, Brandon. Our Cooper family owes you a big favor. If Kelvin gives you any grief, cstraight to me. I'll sort him out. He wouldn't dare cross me." Brandon was about to say something when a screeching brake sound interrupted him.

Connor quickly stood up. "What are you doing here? I've told you, I don't want to see you!" "I'm here for Brandon." "He's here to keepcompany. He'll be staying withfor the next few days," Connor said. "Don't even think about taking him away!" Kelvin pressed his lips together. Connor's protection of Brandon was expected. But how did Connor know Brandon was at King Manor? "Mr. Davis," Brandon greeted casually. "Here to fish too?" This attitude made Kelvin even more displeased. With Connor's protection, he couldn't touch Brandon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKelvin took a few steps forward, but Connor pointed at him. "Stop right there. If you dare to be rude to Brandon, I'll fight you with my life!" "Mr. Cooper, I am your son-in-law." "My daughter is gone; what son-in-law?" Kelvin's eyes darkened, but he quickly hid it. His vulnerability was never shown to others.
Composing himself, Kelvin spoke calmly, "Since Mr. Cooper likes Brandon so much, let him stay with you. I'm just here to ask him a few questions." "Questions?" I'll leave after asking."

Connor glanced at Brandon, then said, "What do you want to ask?" "Mr. Cooper, you can listen in." Kelvin walked to the lakeside, looking at the shimmering water. With Connor protecting Brandon, he couldn't do anything, so he might as well lay it all out.
Kelvin put one hand in his pocket and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Brandon, no matter how much you deny it or how perfectly you craft your reasons, you can't cover up your flaws. I'm not an idiot to be fooled by you." Brandon nodded. "Yes. Who in LA would dare to fool Mr. Davis?" "You dare, and not just once!"
Kelvin lowered his eyes, looking at the slender fishing rod, his posture tall and solitary. "All of "All of Molly's m whereabouts, information, everything has been erased," he said lightly. "Her food, clothing, housing, even her bank. accounts and household information, were all covered up by Ruby." "And you have the most direct contact with Ruby, frequently! Yes, Ruby has taken care of you since you were young. It's natural for you to look after her and give her money.
It all seems normal, but once connected to Molly, it becomes highly suspicious." At this point, Kelvin's tone changed, becoming aggressive.
"In the years after Ruby resigned and returned home, you had no contact with her, but in the past four years, you've been in frequent contact every month?" "Why did Ruby and Molly quickly go into hiding and mysteriously disappear as soon as I found out about their connection?" "Why did your renewed contact with Ruby coincide with the year Penelope died?"
Beside him, Connor listened in shock, realizing the gravity of the situation was far more serious than Brandon had let on! He hesitated, words forming on his tongue, but the fear of exacerbating the situation silenced him.
Brandon remained calm, showing no signs of panic. He even asked Kelvin in return, "From Molly's situation, are you trying to prove something about Penelope's death?" Kelvin met his eyes, staring intently as if trying to see into Brandon's soul! Brandon stood his ground, unflinching. "I'm not trying to prove anything; I'm just voicing my suspicions," Kelvin replied. "Everything is too coincidental; I can't help but think more!" "So, Mr. Davis suspects that Molly..."
