Barnaby gave Sheridan a long stare before eking out a complete sentence “You can rest assured that my reconciliation with her won’t affect you in any way. On top of that, I’m not that naive to bring her back to the Stone family just to have the others criticize me “Given that you’re trying to fulfill a wish of yours, it’s not surprising that you don’t care about what others think. However, have you forgotten something important?”

With his hands pressed against the table, Sheridan gave Barnaby a piercing gaze, as if he was a predator preparing to strike “Thad declared in front of everyone in the Stone family that they’re not allowed to join objected to you recognizing Nigel. Yet, you have gone Back on your word and refused to keep sl by going out with her in public.

Because of you, the Hadley family will come after the family before I can even think of how to deal with them. Based on how well you know Nathaniel you think he’ll do to our family?”

Barnaby opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

During the banquet, he was focused on stamping his authority and trying to resolve Arure’s predi caining him to neglect the many repercussions of his actions.

Now that Sheridan had reminded him of them, the gravity of the consequences began to weigh down on him Sheridan might be standing in the vanguard of the family, but he was still responsible for his actions as the former head of the Stone family.

“I’m sorry, Sheridan. I failed to think through it properly.” Barnaby admitted.

“Grandpa, ever since you reunited with your old flame, you’re no longer like your old self.” the disappointed Sheridan lamented, “Looks like the old adage-Love makes fools of us all-does ring true Barnaby looked visibly awkward when he realized that it was he who blundered first. With nothing to defend himself with, he inquired, “So how do you plan to remedy the situation?”

“Remedy?” Sheridan stared at Barnaby in disbelief as he sneered, “Grandpa, don’t you know that you can have your cake and eat it too?”

Barnaby was rendered speechless.

“Nigel’s trial begins on Tuesday, and I’m sure that he’ll be found guilty.” Sebastian added in an insidious tone, “However, you gave her implicit permission to obtain a letter of understanding from Timothy and to spike the latter’s drink?
