The Amazing son in law Chapter 2242
The genius quickly memorized the location’s address in just a second; the driver wasted no time, starting the car and driving away. Fitz felt a wave of disappointment wash over him as he watched the commercial vehicle leave the villa. This evening felt even more challenging than the night he and Zara were kidnapped. Back then, their lives were at stake, but tonight was filled with turmoil: his father was exposed for having an illegitimate daughter, his parents’ relationship was in disarray, his father’s momentary loss of authority, and now the impending trip to Australia.
He was consumed with worry—not just for his parents’ feelings and his father’s future, but his own as well. Until now, his father was the heir to the entire Banks Family, making Fitz the next in line. However, tonight’s dramatic shifts had altered everything. His father’s standing had diminished, and if he failed to regain his power, Fitz’s future looked bleak. He remembered the implications: if Uncle James was chosen as the heir, Fitz would be left with no opportunity!
Despondently, Fitz returned to his sister’s room. There, Zara was still engrossed in her computer, scrutinizing photos of male passengers at Japanese airports.
Noticing Fitz’s return, Zara shot him an irritated look and asked, “What did Dad want to talk to you about? Did you make up an excuse to escape?”
“No,” Fitz sighed. “Dad was sent to Australia by Grandpa!”
“What?!” Zara gasped in disbelief. “Dad was sent to Australia? When did this happen?”
“Just now,” Fitz replied, his expression sorrowful. “He packed his things and left for the airport, where James took him.”
Zara, puzzled, questioned, “Why would Grandpa send Dad to Australia? Their relationship has always been complicated, especially with Xion in the picture. Exposing an illegitimate daughter isn’t a huge deal. Why is Grandpa taking such drastic action?”
Fitz explained, “Dad mentioned that Grandpa wants him to take the blame.”
A chill ran down Zara’s spine as she realized the implications. “It’s okay, it’s okay,” she stammered. “Dad is leaving, but Grandpa will undoubtedly place all the blame on him.” She continued, her voice tinged with anxiety, “I fear Grandpa might announce that the decision to betray Xion was Dad’s! That way, he can clear his own name while making Dad bear the guilt of betraying his own daughter!” This update is available on FindN0vel.net
With a heavy heart, Fitz replied, “Dad had no choice but to leave when Grandpa insisted.”
Zara looked at Fitz with seriousness in her eyes. “Brother, things at the Banks household might be changing drastically.”
“You sense it too?” Fitz asked.
Zara nodded gravely. “I don’t care about wealth or power. Being a girl means I won’t inherit much, but you are in a different position. If Dad can’t recover from this, your future will be at stake.”
Fitz buried his face in his hands, sorrowfully admitting, “But what can I do? I can see how eager Grandpa is to shift the blame. Dad is the easiest target for that.” He added, “And the idea of him being accused of betraying his own daughter is too cruel. If that sticks, he’ll be seen as heartless, and there’s no way Grandpa would allow him to inherit the title of Patriarch of the Banks Family.” With a resigned sigh, he continued, “Our family may never recover from this.”
Zara’s lovely brows furrowed as she clenched her small, white teeth and declared, “No! We must help Dad reclaim his position as heir!”
“How do we do that?” Fitz asked, surprised.
Zara responded coolly, “Don’t worry about the details just yet. Tomorrow, we’re going to Aurous Hill with Mom to temporarily distance ourselves from this mess. I have a plan to help Dad regain everything!”
