I’m Someone Else

Declan had been beside himself with fury. In all the years he had lived, he had never witnessed someone who displayed such a sense of entitlement despite being indebted.

He had agreed to return to Olivia what was hers, but he had not expected the sudden twist in the process. What should he do now?

The anguish on his face prompted Olivia to hurriedly reassure him. “Don’t panic, Uncle Declan. Don’t worry. Gavin can never be the head of the family.”

She would tell Thomas about this when he returned. There was no way a nobody like Gavin could do anything significant.

Declan did not say anything and just shook his head with his eyes closed as he lay on the bed. He knew that it was impossible for Gavin to abruptly take over as the head of the family by himself, so Declan’s long-lost mother had to be helping in secret. The moment she returned, she had Gavin injure Declan before making Gavin the head of the family. Was she really Declan’s mother? It would be more accurate to call her Mrs. Claus as she had given Declan a ‘Christmas gift’.

Olivia and Ophelie exchanged glances as they sat down on the chairs in the room. They did not say another word as they could see that he was in a bad mood. Hence, they decided to let him rest.

When Quincy returned to his office, he sat down on the couch and took a sip of tea. “Leah, you witch! Since you wish to play, I’ll be your opponent. You will be destined to lose horribly, though.”

He could not help but chuckle at that thought. The laugh was so menacing that it made him seem like an energetic young man in his twenties instead of a man in his fifties.

Perhaps he had spent too much time with Thomas, or Leah had awakened his thirst to win. Either way, he had decided to go against Leah this time.

The Hofstead Family had always been allies of the Pearson Family. He might just be an outsider, but even he found it incredulous that someone like Gavin could be the family head. It was simply ridiculous that anyone would discount Declan and insist on giving Gavin control of the family.

what Declan might think when he saw that she would rather leave the family in the hands of a useless fool like Gavin than let Declan inherit the
