Of course, Robert wasn’t about to admit it.

“What are you talking about? What money? Why don’t I know anything about this?”

Wren looked confused as well. He turned to Nathaniel and Cecilia.

“Nathaniel, what are you talking about?”

Nathaniel raised a brow slightly. “It’s nothing serious. Yesterday, Miranda came to see Ceci privately about the ancestral graveyard land. She asked us to return the money to you.”

“What? That happened?” Robert put on a look of surprise. “How come I don’t know anything about it? There must be some misunderstanding.”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought too, so I didn’t agree,” Nathaniel said smoothly, playing along. “Besides, Uncle, you taught us yourself that even between brothers, accounts should be clear. Since the contract’s already signed, there’s no way we can return the money. Otherwise, what kind of deal would that be?”
