It was Franklin Zadra, the heir to the Zadra dynasty! "Mister Kane, with your bold venture into the north, you're sure to leave a lasting mark on its future," he said with a beaming smile, stepping in front of Alexander and Callie. "The Zadra family enjoys making new friends, and in your honor, we are hosting a charity gala. We would be delighted if you could join us and support charity organizations in the north.

I'm sure a man like you I wouldn't turn it down, right?" The Zadra family? That guy was one of them? Alexander frowned as he looked at Callie; she appeared surprised for a moment before leaning in and murmuring, "That's Franklin Zadra, the eldest son." The future head of the Zadra family, no less!

I reddening cheek, his voice brimming with venom, his eyes wild with rage. "You hit me? You had the nerve to hit me? I I was being nice by inviting you, and this is your response?!"

"Alex... I mean, Mister Kane!" Callie's face was a mask of concern, her heart pounding in her chest long after Franklin's car had vanished. "What was he hinting at? Is he going to confront Mister Caleb at the gala?" Confront Caleb? If the Black Maple master was truly with the Zadra family, it was entirely possible.
""Caleb is Caleb; I am myself." Alexander's gaze was a frigid squint as he spoke, and he turned quickly, striding to his sleek black sedan. He gave Callie a
small wave before leaving.
UAlex:.." Callie stood at the manor's grand entrance, watching his car fade into the distance, her eyes blinking back a flood of thoughts. Alex might deny that Caleb was his father, but she knew him better than that. He would not stand by and let Caleb walk into danger.
