Chapter 293 Barrier

• Charles
• I had never thought I would raise such a stupid child. He probably had contacted the underbelly of the human world for the funds that he probably had never planned to pay back. It had likely always been the plan to leave Grace saddled with all of it on her own.
• It had probably never even crossed his mind what those people would do to his family. Had he ever considered Grace as his family? Had he ever thought of Richard and Cecil as his children? I clenched my jaw. The human underbelly was nothing like the werewolf or the lycan ones. There were no set rules of engagement or limits. However, I was grateful that it seemed like these people just wanted their money and weren't looking to also hurt Cecil. For a moment, I wondered if he would have been better off with whatever obscure relative I had been able to find at the time of his parents’ death. While I knew that wasn’t true, knowing why I kept him instead of giving him over to his family, knowing what I knew now, I might have made a different decision.
