"The problem is, he's not Everett now; he's Lexter," Lulu reiterated.
"It doesn't matter who he is, the bad deeds are his doing," Karen said, her face pale with anger.
Dillon tried to calm Karen, "Don't rush, let's figure out what's really going on."
Daniel, recovering from his shock, asked Nicole, "Are you sure about this?"
"We've confirmed it. There's no mistake, and I've seen him myself." How could she possibly mistake
someone she’d seen with her own eyes?
"But..." Daniel started to say something, only to be interrupted by Benjamin, "It's about time for dinner,
let’s eat."
"Ah?" Everyone was momentarily stunned, then Dillon invited everyone, "Alright, let's have dinner."
The family paused, then together, without bringing up the matter again, they rose and headed to the
dining room.
"Ah, we're late," Dexter and Emma said as they entered with Ellar. "We waited for Ell ar for a bit, then
got stuck in traffic."
No problem, we were just about to eat, come on over," Dillon invited them.
"Alright," they agreed, and the whole family settled down in the dining room.
Dexter, sensing something amiss during dinner, quietly asked Daniel, "Did something happen?"
"Everett is back," Daniel whispered to Dexter.novelbin"What?" Dexter was taken aback, frowning, "Isn't he..."
"Just eat," Daniel shook his head, indicating that Dexter should not discuss it further.
Dexter understood, glanced at Benjamin, and said, "Oh, dinner."
Throughout the meal, everyone found various topics to discuss, but no one mentioned Everett again.
After dinner, Benjamin looked at Nicole and Jared and said," Come with me to the study."
"Okay," Nicole and Jared agreed, following Benjamin to the study.
Daniel wanted to follow Nicole and Jared to the study but was stopped by Dexter. "Dad didn't call you,
so it's best not to go now."
Sighing, Daniel sat down, looking worried.
"What exactly is going on?" Dexter, still unaware of the full situation, asked Daniel.
Daniel explained the situation to Dexter, frowning, "His return this time is probably not that simple."
"Yes, I'm also worried about that," Dexter replied, his expression becoming more solemn.
"Actually, the reason we asked everyone to come today was that we knew we couldn't keep this a
secret. We were afraid Grandpa wouldn't take it well, so we wanted everyone to be here," Lulu said in a
low voice.
"Right, Grandpa would have found out about this sooner or later," Daniel nodded in agreement.
It was indeed better for them to inform their father beforehand than for him to find out through other
means."I just wonder..." Lulu looked towards the study, muttering," What exactly is Benjamin discussing with
Nicole?"
"Don't worry, my father can handle these things," Daniel assured her.
Meanwhile, in the study, Benjamin gestured for Nicole and Jared to sit down.
"Grandpa, we only found out about this today. Then we had someone confirm it was him," Nicole said
softly.
"Let him return," Benjamin's tone was calm, reminding Nicole, "I called you in here to remind you that
he probably has bad intentions."
He must have made thorough preparations to dare to return so openly.
"We understand," Nicole replied, having also considered that Everett's return was likely part of a plan.
Benjamin looked at Nicole and added, "Don't worry about me. You handle things as you see fit."
