Alexander Sterling: clutches notebook tighter How did you find out about the inheritance? Who told you?
I can't believe you kept this secret from me!
leans in closer, his eyes narrowing You think keeping this secret from you was easy?
You should have trusted me, Alexander. We could have faced this together!
takes a deep breath, his grip on the notebook loosening You're right, I should have trusted you. But I was scared, Cas.
Scared of what, Alexander? What are you hiding?
pauses, his gaze drifting to the shelves of books I was scared of losing everything we built together, Cas.
I’m not gonna let anything happen to us.
looks at Casualumou with gratitude Thank you, Cas. I appreciate your support. Let's face whatever comes our way together, okay?
stands up and walks towards the large window, looking out We need to come up with a plan, Cas. A plan that will secure our future and protect our secret.
Do we tell the family? Or keep this hidden?
paces back and forth, deep in thought We can't just tell the family yet. It's too risky. We need to be careful and make sure we're prepared for any backlash.
Okay, what’s the first step then?
stops pacing and looks at Casualumou with determination First, we need to gather as much information as possible about the inheritance.
gazes out the window Alright, Alex. Let's start digging.
pulls out his phone and starts searching for information I'll start by researching the lawyer handling the inheritance and finding out as much as I can about the assets involved.
nods, crossing her arms And I'll look into the family's history, see if there are any potential threats or allies.
furrows his brows, typing rapidly on his laptop Alright, Cas. Let's get started.
starts typing on her own laptop, finding information Look at this, Alex. The lawyer has a reputation for being ruthless.
furrows his brows, his voice filled with determination We need to be smart about this, Cas.
