Chapter 27

• After a while, Clarence said, "No need." For now, he did not want to see her.
• Clarence was abhorred of the concepts of inheritance and blood relationships as soon as he was returned to the Conrad family under the guise of an illegitimate son.
• Particularly when he entered the Conrad family's home and saw Justin, who was in a wheelchair and appeared to be largely paralyzed, the dirt and inferiority that were visible despite the golden bricks and tiles nearly choked him. He had thus reached the end of his tolerance regarding Stella's use of the child as a negotiating chip.
