NovelEnglishChapter 768 The Heir of the Duncans The silent old villa of the Duncans suddenly becnoisy due to the return of Branden and the others. Karl was so glad and greeted them with a smile all along. And he was extra enthusiastic when he learned the others were all friends of Catherine's. " Don't be shy, kids.

Sitting not far from Catherine, Karl joined their conversation when he heard what Zobber said. “No is allowed in the Duncans. Whoever bullies Catherine will be kicked out of the family." Since Karl had been kind and humorous, Zobber joked, "What if Branden bullies Catherine?" Her words attracted the attention of others who were chattering. Ronin secretly thumbed up at Zobber and thought, "What a crazy girl! What a crazy question!" But he was curious, too.
Everyone fixed their eyes on Karl, wondering what he would say. Branden was his grandson and the heir of the Duncans. It was unlikely he would kick Branden out for an outsider.
Branden sat calmly on the side, slowly peeling the grapefruits. His slender fingers gently removed the skin and fascia from the grapefruit and put the rest into the bowl before Catherine. He was calm and quiet, like an outsider.

His words blew everyone's mind like a dynamic. In Eskana's tradition, lineage was taken very seriously. Swealthy families and clans still had the tradition from ancient times that the heir should be the eldest son or grandson.
It appalled everyone that Karl trusted Catherine enough to consider her an heir. He would give her the whole Duncans' business if necessary.
After the shock, they turned to Branden, wondering how he would react to Kar's/words. He was the EX legitimate heir of the Duncans.
Branden finished peeling the last piece of grapefruit and slowly wiped his fingers clean with a tissue before aliss responding to everyone's expecting gaze. He said one word. "Agreed."
If he was in debt with Catherine one day, offering her the Duncans would be his atonement. But that day would never come. He was confident about this. X
