As he was about to leave, Scales cast one last glance at Dick and his family. Shaking his head, he turned to Talbot and said, "Son, from now on, the Glenwood family is in your hands." Talbot's face lit up with surprise, his voice trembling with excitement. "Thank you, Dad! I won't let you down." Everyone present understood exactly what Scales' words meant he was handing over full control, and at the stime, making it clear that Dick's family was being cut out for good.
Dick's face was ashen; he had finally becnothing more than a discarded pawn.

There was a twhen Scales had been fond of this son, but Dick never lived up to expectations. And now, in his old age, Scales had been humiliated by him in front of everyone.
What a mistake, he thought bitterly. I should never have adopted this troublemaker.
Dick's face went even paler. With a thud, he dropped to his knees before Scales, bowing his head to the floor over and over, tears streaming down his face. "Dad, I was wrong! Please, don't cutoff! You always said I was your favorite son. Please, don't do this to me!" Though Dick was adopted, he'd always known how to win Scales' favor. He thought Scales was just angry and venting; he never imagined his father would actually sever ties so decisively.
But Scales ignored him, turning back to Talbot. "See them out." Talbot showed no mercy, ordering Dick and his family out of the house without hesitation.
Aline and Jeanette had thought that today would finally be their chance to appear in public as rightful members of the Glenwood family, enjoying all the privileges that cwith the name. They never imagined things would end like this.

Kali: Are you sure this thing will ruin Citrine's reputation? Jeanette hesitated for a moment, then steeled herself and typed: Absolutely.
After leaving the Glenwood estate, Hilda and Monica trailed after Citrine, their gazes so intense that Citrine could feel them burning into her back as she walked.
With a sigh, she stopped, turned around, and looked at the three of them. "If you have questions, just ask." Wade knew, his question sounded silly, but he couldn't help himself "Sis, are you really the lead researcher at the world's top medical institute? Did you really invent Vitaflux?" Hilda shot Wade a glare, offended that anyone would doubt her daughter. "Didn't you see it with your own eyes? What kind of stupid question is that?" Citrine smiled as Wade looked at her sheepishly. "Of course it's true." To anyone else, it would be
unbelievable-CICI Group's chairwoman, and the top researcher at the world's most renowned medical institution. No one could compare.
Wade looked at his little sister-who was still a few years younger than he was and felt a surge of pride.
Monica felt the same. She'd always thought her sister was just a brilliant student at Crestwood University, but ntat she had no idea there was so much more to her. Monica's admiration was genuine. "Citrine, you're amazing. From now on, you're my role model."
