"Kawin," Justin called for him.
Kawin, who was Aeldric’s most loyal man, entered the office and bowed lightly like a loyal dog. "Yes, Mr. Handrix."
"Tell your previous master that he is no longer the ruler here," Justin ordered.
Aeldric looked at Kawin in shock. He even called Justin Mr. Handrix, with his old last name, instead of Riverdale.
"Kawin?!" Aeldric exclaimed.
"Mr. Riverdale, all of our people have sworn their loyalty to our new King—your heir and our boss," Kawin said.
"How dare you? I have not yet given him my position."
"Mr. Riverdale, you have already announced to the entire Eastern Country that Mr. Handrix is your heir. Since then, all of our people, business partners, and everyone we are connected to have already accepted Mr. Handrix as our King," Kawin added.
Aeldric looked at Justin in even greater shock. "When did you—" he fumed with anger.
Natalie was quietly enjoying the show. Till date, it was Justin who enjoyed the shows she had created, but now it was her chance to get popcorn and drinks and enjoy the best show. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"When you were dreaming about this grand wedding, do you think I was free enough to laze around and do nothing?" Justin said. "Aaron and I were already acting as Aiden Riverdale and meeting those people as your heir. For your information, this isn’t the first time you’re meeting Aaron. He has been in the Eastern Country for a while now, meeting you and getting to know his trashy grandfather from the past."
"Also, our names are Aaron Handrix and Aiden Handrix. Keep that in mind," Aaron said. "We will never be Riverdales."
Aeldric exchanged glances between the two brothers, and it was truly hard to tell who was who—just like in the past. He couldn’t tell when he had met Justin and when it had been Aiden.
Aeldric was fuming with anger at the thought that he had truly underestimated his grandsons. But he thought, in the end, everything was going to them, so there was no use fighting.
He swallowed all his anger with everything he had and said calmly, but in a mocking tone, "Still, you won’t benefit if you tell Colin Hartz the truth about this marriage. He would go against you two if you—"
"Who said we plan to tell him the truth?" Justin said. "We have no such plans."
It shocked Aeldric. Till now, they had been threatening him with telling Colin Hartz the truth—and now, they were saying they weren’t going to. What were these two up to?
"What do you mean?" Aeldric asked.
"I plan to be a good son-in-law of the Hartz family," Aaron said.
Aeldric couldn’t understand what these two were up to. "What are you planning to do?" he asked.
"You didn’t give us our sister, so that’s the extent of information you get," Justin said. "And most importantly, we don’t trust you."
"So you better sit tight and do your usual things. For now, we’ll spare you from the humiliation of being dethroned by your own grandsons, and taking the control of your power," Aaron said.
Aeldric slammed his hand on the table, enraged at how easily they were taking him. He was the man everyone feared. "I won’t sit back and watch you two—"
"How about I tell Marina what you just told us about the granddaughter?" Natalie said, as she played the recording on her phone.
It was the recording where Aeldric was admitting how he lost the little girl and deceived Marina all these years.
Natalie smirked. This old man truly has a weakness—his own wife.
