"Uncle Hank, sit next to me," Dodo warmly invited him. She hadn't seen Hank Clegg in a long time and was extremely attached to him.
Hank Clegg outstretched his hand and picked up Dodo.
He let her sit on his arm and closely examined her. Through her cute face, he saw another woman.
"Sure." His response was as gentle as always.
As he sat down, his gaze inadvertently met with Franklin Clegg from across the table.
The brothers were well-known for their disputes in business.
So Hank didn't extend a clear greeting to his brother; he merely acknowledged him with a glance.
However, Franklin Clegg raised his wine glass: "Long time no see, Hank. How did the last case go?"
A glint of sharpness inadvertently flashed in Hank's eyes.
The last case...
Was Franklin referring to all the crimes he had committed over the years?
This blatant provocation, particularly in front of their parents, highlighted the extent of Franklins' foul mood.
