Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 492

Christian’s face shifted, his eyes dark with realization. He sat there for a long time before muttering quietly, “No wonder. No wonder we never found her after all these years.”

The Ballard family was every bit as powerful as the Graysons. If they wanted to hide someone, it would be easy.

He’d heard rumors that the Ballard family’s head was a mystery, but he never guessed it was her.

Christian had spent day after day searching for her, always coming up empty-handed. Now it made sense. She’d had that kind of power behind her all along.

Christian’s gaze sharpened, something cold flickering in his eyes.

“But what does any of this have to do with you hurting Lucy?”

“It was never my intention to hurt her. That was Helene’s fault. She screwed everything up and dragged Mother into it. All I wanted was to stir up enough trouble so the Ballard family would see Madeline’s face and come looking for her. Then, I’d take her place in the family. Once I was inside, I could get close to Shelly and win her trust.”

“The best revenge,” Claire said, her voice twisting with a dark excitement, “is making Shelly watch while I take her daughter’s place, steal her life, and then ruin both of them right in front of her. Isn’t that the cruelest thing?”

Christian listened in silence, then let out a cold, flat laugh. “But you’re not just doing this for Michael, are you? You want the Ballard fortune too.”

“You always see through everything, Grandpa. There’s a saying, if you don’t look out for yourself, no one will. I’m grateful to my father for raising me. I’ll get his revenge. But I have to think about my own future too, right?”

“So your plan is to take everything from the Ballard family, isn’t it?”

“That’s right, Grandpa.”
