Aldenâs words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the secret room.
Duncan was the first to stand up and asked, âWhat other way?â
Ninian showed her eagerness as well, and even Everett, who had always been stoic, looked over.
âGeorge, my eldest brother, just called,â Alden explained. âHe said that my parents had been conducting a study for years.
âNow that the preliminary research has been successful, perhaps we can actually extract the implanted chip inside Everettâs body.â
As soon as his words were out, Duncanâs face flushed with excitement.
âI didnât hear it wrongly, did I? What did you say? Can we remove the implanted chip in Everettâs body?!â
âAlden? Is that true?â Ninianâs eyes were filled with disbelief as well.
Everettâs expressions were a lot calmer than those two, but there were still unconcealable emotions swirling in his eyes.
But he still remained composed. âAlden just said thereâs a possibility, so we can still try it, but donât set your expectations too high,â he said to calm them down.
Duncan and Ninianâs expressions dropped slightly after they heard that.
Alden looked at Everett with approval in his eyes.
He nodded and said, âEverett is right. We can still try, but donât expect too much. Everything can be done slowly, but donât be disheartened if you donât get the desired results due to your unrealistic expectations.â
Duncan quickly calmed down and regained the composure and rationality of the head of the Craig family.
âAre you saying that Mr. and Mrs. Winters have been researching this project all this time, but it hasnât been experimented with yet? Would Everett be at risk if they tried it on him?â
âNot necessarily. No one can guarantee that this experiment will be failâproof,â Alden said slowly, â
However, according to Georgeâs understanding, the probability of success for this experiment had reached sixty percent two years ago. But the details will remain unknown until my parents return to Cairnstan.â
âOkay, Iâll be ready then. Iâd like to speak with Mr. and Mrs. Winters face to face when they return to better understand the situation.â
âNo problem.â
To avoid alarming the enemy, the Winters and Craig families only monitored the entire criminal chain for now, but did not act immediately.
Now all eyes were on the Winters family members.
Melody, who had heard the news, rushed back home, and Brooklyn, who had finally waited for the rare opportunity, followed her.
A day later, Ninian and Alden stood at the Craig familyâs doors and greeted the Winters familyâs large group.
The tall and handsome Duke led the group, with the stunning and classy Adina close beside him.
The Winters siblings were behind them, with Brooklyn at the very back. He made every effort to minimize his presence, as it was clear that he had already experienced a wave of attack.
Ninianâs eyes welled up with tears as she saw the long- lost figures of her parents.
âDaddy! Mommy!â
She raced forward and jumped straight into Adinaâs arms.
The woman was elegant and breathtakingly beautiful. She opened her arms and caught her when she lunged over.
âDonât be scared, Grapie. Mommyâs here now.â Adinaâs voice was very pleasant and filled with gentleness, as one would expect from a mother.
âDaddyâs here too. Weâre back to help you. Donât cry.â According to legend, Duke, who once dominated the business world, was fierce and assertive, but in front of his daughters, he was a doting father, gentle and kind beyond recognition.
Ninian looked up from Adinaâs embrace, pouted at Duke, and cried, âDaddy, I missed you all so muchâ¦â
The cry shattered Dukeâs heart into pieces.
