On the same day, Miguel returned to their home country to deal with an urgent matter related to their clan. He missed the chance to reveal Dominique's connection to his grandchildren. That incident was favorable to Athena and Lanny.
After the lunch gathering, Lanny, Athena, and Vladimir gathered in her apartment. They let the children play in their room while the adults discussed something serious in the living room.
"Gosh, I thought our secrets would be revealed to Dominique and our father. How did you pull the tricks, Vlad? Why did Dad suddenly leave the restaurant?" Lanny looked at her brother curiously.
"I just ask my men to create trouble for our clan. You don't have to know the full details," Vladimir replied before shifting his gaze back to Athena. "Are you alright?" he asked her worriedly.
"Yes, I'm fine now." Athena gave him a grateful smile. "Thanks, V for stopping your father from revealing the truth."
