Leanna-Chapter 180: Epilogue 2.2

SLAM!

The old man slammed his fist on the table, shocking the four corners of the tightly enclosed walls. His face was turning darker and uglier by the second as his nostrils flared in anger.

"How dare he schemed against us! We! His grandparents! The backbone of this family!"

The old man spat out, yet a flash of pride flickered in his eyes before it turned dim again.

Heh, leave it to my grandson to even dare to challenge me.

The old woman sighed as she sipped her wine, not one bit intimidated by the old man’s anger. She was used to his short temper and violent like ways. Even from years that they have known each other, he didn’t changed. He was still the grumpy man who resort to violence to resolve everything.

"This is a mistake! We should have killed that girl the moment we knew Cain loves her! He shouldn’t have married out of love! He should have married out of obligation to the family! Now everything is already too late!" the old man continued to bark out loud.

He regretted not following his initial plans to kill the girl before his grandson could fell for her completely. Cain should have married Holley Goldwood, and none of this should have ever happened.

In the past, the Fay’s and Vlad’s all married out of obligation and never for love. Love would only blind and make a person weak.

Even Hynes and Lily were not in love at first, but no one expected that they would fall in love after years of getting to know each other. Hynes was so in love with Lily that he even dared to kill his own father to save his son and daughter from the torturous training because it made Lily sad.

Only the elder Fay’s, Hynes, and Lily knew of this secret. Hynes did get sick when Cain was fourteen years old. But the real reason was that he suffered an injury from the elders, rendering him useless for the rest of his life. The poison in his blood required him to take regular intervals of antidote, which only the elder Fay’s possessed.

"It’s too late now. Cain would rather die than being separated from Leanna Lee," the old woman said with a calm face.

The old man sneered and thumped his cane. "Hmp! Then I guess this is the outcome. Cain, you have crossed the line. Even if you are my grandson and the pride of this family, don’t think we can’t replace you."

He then sighed. His face distorted in unwillingness, but it turned hard again. It was not because he was unwilling to kill his grandchild nor because he loves Cain, but because he was feeling pity that a powerful kin will die. A man with two powerful families in his blood.

What a waste.

The two elder knew that kidnapping Leanna Lee and used her to threaten Cain would achieve nothing as she was heavily guarded, not leaving their grandson’s sight for a single moment. Not to mention, Cain would be alerted the moment something happened to her. It was their trump card that Cain remained in the dark, not knowing they already knew of his betrayal.

They could prepare in secret.

As for Hynes and Lily, they did not pay much attention to them as Hynes was useless, and Lilly would do anything to ensure her husband would remain alive even the cost of staying out of the war for the antidote.

The elders knew Lilly would never hurt her children. The best way to go about this was not to push her to the edge, as pushing someone like Lily Fay would only cause her to retaliate. The best way to deal with her was to let her remain neutral.

As for Estela . . .

The old man smirked. "It was a good thing we have a spare. Lily’s cells are no longer young."

The old woman’s brows twitched as the glass of wine stopped inches from her lips.

They were not inhuman to actually have their granddaughter copulate with her own kin. Technology these days were rapid and growing. They would just need Estela’s eggs and Hyne’s or Cain’s sperm.

"Whose sperm are you going to use?" The elder woman asked, hiding the tremble in her voice with a calm façade.

The old man thumped his cane before answering, "It will be good if we can have Cain’s. If . . . we can capture him alive. But if not . . ."

The old man’s face warped in a wicked grin.

They could use whoever’s sperm. It could even be Zhander’s, or it could be any woman’s egg copulated with the Fay’s sperm or could also be Cain and Leanna’s child as long as it was a boy to replace the heir of the family.

But the old man was obsessed with his own bloodline that it should be a Fay’s egg and sperm and nothing less for the heir of the family. The moment the Fay’s beat the Vlad in battle years ago, reigning supreme in the entire world with the Vlad offering their only young lady Lily Vlad as a sign of loyalty to the Fay’s, the elder man was already plotting to have a child in secret. Genetically modified with the blood of purely Fay.

But to have the Vlad’s support and eternal servitude, coupled with his interest to have a kin with the blood of two powerful ancient families, he pushed his only son, Hynes Fay, to marry Lilly Vlad.

And now, the old man’s desire was triggered to protect and preserve the family’s power and wealth to the point that he even considering marriage between siblings and relatives in the future. Or even having genetically modified babies, which consisted purely of the two ancient family’s blood.

The elder woman sighed through her breathe as she stared at the glass of wine in her hand.

I guess this is all up to you, little girl. The babies in your stomach determines the future of this family.
