Chapter 609 - Equally Stubborn (1/2)

Daryl heaved a long sigh as he stopped in front of the large gate of Cha Mansion. How long had it been since he last stepped foot in this mansion? If his calculation was right… It has been eight years already.

He left the mansion as soon as he graduated college. Right after that, he started doing things on his own. He used the money he saved while studying and doing part-time jobs to pursue his study of law.

He had a hunch that his mother had already foreseen that his father's mistress would try to push him out of the family and that was why she left everything she had with him, including her shares in the Cha Group. He had a representative taking care of it since he did not want to see his father and that cunning mother and son… Karen and Harry.

He received numerous offers for his share but he refused to sell it though he did not want anything to do with his father and his new family. He decided to keep it merely because his mother entrusted those shares to him. He still kept everything his mother left him unharmed, even the money in the bank was unused.

There were indeed a lot of changes. The security had to verify him and had to get authorization before the gate opened automatically. Like what the report said, the security was very tight.

”What is going on?” he murmured as he drove inside.

He parked his car and walked out to the main door where Karen was waiting for him.

”Oh, I'm surprised you came Daryl. You should have informed me before itself…” Karen greeted as soon as he approached.

Dary's eyebrows arched as he casually said, ”Am I not welcome to my own house anymore that I have to tell you when I will visit? Eight years must have been long enough for you to remember that I'm part of the Cha Family right?”

He saw Karen's face darkened but quickly replaced it with a smile as she said, ”Oh please don't misunderstand me. It's just that if you had at least called ahead I could prepare more for lunch.”

”Never mind, I will not take long. I'm just here to visit my father since I heard he is ill. It's too bad that I heard it from other people when you should have been the one informing me right?” he scorned as he comfortably went inside and walked towards his father's room.

He paused and turned to look at Karen and said, ”You don't need to follow me. I still know my way around my father's house Karen.”

Karen forced a smile on her face and nodded before she turned around and balled her hand into a fist.

Daryl paused for a few seconds in front of the door. He exhaled loudly and turned the knob of the door. He went inside and saw his father on the bed.

”Karen is that you?” he asked as he heard footsteps approaching.

He sat up and slowly opened his eyes to see the one entering.

”Harry? Is that you?” he asked when he saw the build of a man but his vision was getting worse each passing day and he could no longer recognize the face.

Daryl halted, his heart filled with mixed and confusing emotions.

”Who is that? Answer me!” his father asked with an angry tone.

Daryl gulped and opened his mouth.
