Since the news of Daren's disappearance, Ivan has been influencing Barney to rewrite his will. To have the entire Wyne family estate go to him. They had all trusted him and the story he had concocted.
Ivan deliberately made up a story where Daren escaped along with Axel, all so that they would target the Alpha and put him in prison. Because from the start he didn't like the man either.
"Until now, there are still no clues about Daren. I think Axel hid him somewhere that's hard to find. He really can't be trusted," Ivan said to Barney as he told him that there were no more descendants of the Wyne family who could become his heirs later because he had already lost two sons.
