CHAPTER 60: CH-60

Anyway, this could work to my advantage. I needed someone who knew the legal team, and Ethan fit the bill . I just had to make that greedy bastard my pawn.

Besides, this was a perfect chance to teach him some respect. After all, I was practically his father now. Hell, I could even give him a sibling I ever felt inclined.

I wondered if Ellie would give birth to another set of twins. I heard such things were hereditary... oh, not good, I’m getting sidetracked again.

"I’ll be joining you. I’d like to speak with him as well."

She gave me a worried look. "Are you sure? Ethan can be a little rude sometimes."

’A little’ was an understatement. No wonder both twins grew up so entitled—Ellie was just too soft, blinded by her love for them.

"Don’t worry about it. I promise to be more patient for your sake." I subtly took her hand when no one was looking.

Her face turned red, yet she slowly intertwined her fingers with mine.

"I’ll reward you later," I gave her a small, reassuring nod before gently pulling my hand away.

We parted ways in the mall to avoid suspicion.

’I need to relax a bit.’

A hot bath sounded perfect for clearing my mind, so I checked into the hotel ahead of schedule. I sank into the steaming water, letting the heat seep into my skin and loosen the tension in my muscles.

Unfortunately, the tension in my mind refused to vanish, no matter how hard I tried.

Even now, I haven’t completed the system mission regarding this so-called family secret. I also did not receive any reward when Daniel confessed to killing his wife. Which meant he lied.

All these secrets and schemes were making me crazy.

In the end, I decided to grab a bottle of beer and watch the news to pass the time.

About thirty minutes later, a knock came at the door.

When I opened it , Ellie, Ella, and Alice stood there, each dressed in formal clothing.

Their dresses weren’t the extravagant, floor-length kind in galas— instead, they were stylish and cut just above the knee, easy to move around in while still exuding class.

Before I could even say a word, Ella threw herself at me, hugging me tight and pressing her lips against mine without any control.

Alice looked a little jealous , but she quickly hid it with a forced smile. She already knew and accepted that I had other partners, but that didn’t mean the sight didn’t sting a little.

Even Ellie looked like she was barely stopping herself from scolding her daughter for jumping on me like that.

However, I couldn’t really blame Ella. Ever since she got that heart mark, she had been completely obsessed with me."

It seemed like the more hostile someone was toward me at first, the stronger their obsession became once I had won them over.

"Master... I missed you," she moaned after pulling back, her saliva dripping onto her cheeks.

"Hey, we still have dinner to attend later — please control yourself." I patted her hair, and the heart symbol appeared.

Instantly, she nodded, obedient as a tamed cat.

The other two stepped into the room and immediately noticed how spacious it was.

I had booked the Executive Suite, which cost thirty thousand a night, and it showed.

The place had a roomy living area, two bedrooms, a dining space, and even a veranda that overlooked the city.

After they sank into the sofa, I stood in front of them, grinning at the thought of having such beautiful girls in my harem.

"Ace... why did you call us here?" Ellie was the first to break the silence.

Instead of a mundane reply, I took her hand and guided it to my waistband, unzipping my pants.

ZIPPPP!

Ellie’s eyes widened as my manhood sprang free, the sudden movement causing it to bounce against her cheek.

"Aunt Ellie, I told you I’d reward you, right?" I uttered, my voice low and commanding. "But I feel that it would be unfair for the others. So how about we all play right now? We still have two hours before dinner."

Alice and Ella exchanged glances, a silent understanding passing between them. They knew exactly what I was proposing.

Ella looked ecstatic; her face was bright red, and the heart symbols in her eyes was glowing too bright. On the other hand, Alice was hesitant. I could tell she disliked the idea of having to share me.

Sadly for her, that could never happen because I was destined to have multiple partners. With the degenerate system in place, sticking to just one girl was inconceivable.

"So, what’s your decision?" I asked Ellie again.

"Mom, just say yes, what are you hesitating for?" Ella grumbled, her cheeks flushing with impatience.

"Do you hear yourself right now, Ella? We are going to meet your brother later, and you want us to do such..." her voice trailed off and she struggled to finish her sentence.

"Mom, come on," Ella pressed on "Who cares what that stupid brother thinks? Besides, it’s not like we haven’t done this before."

I could have intervened right away, but my curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to see where this debate would lead.

"That’s... You know that last time, we did it because you wanted to," Ellie mumbled, her words stumbling over each other as embarrassment and guilt took hold.

"Mom! I remember how happy you were when Master was screwing you from behind! ," Ella protested. "Don’t act innocent now just because Alice is here."

Even at a glance, the difference between those with the mark and those without was obvious.

It made me want to test her further, to see just how much she would prioritize me over her own son.

Frankly speaking, I did not want to push her that far, but this was a necessary experiment.

"Ella, that’s enough," I interjected, stepping between them to create a buffer.

"Your mother is just trying to be mindful of the situation. We all have our boundaries, and it’s important to respect them."

"I’m sorry, Mom. I just got carried away."

Ellie offered a small, appreciative smile to me for handling the situation.

"Okay, now that’s settled, I’ll just sleep with Ella and Alice. Aunty, you can wait in the other room."

Ellie went pale, and for a second, she couldn’t form a single word.

"Ace, why did you not include me?"

I raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence.

"What do you mean? I’m just respecting your decision. You seemed hesitant, so I thought it best to give you some space."

Her lips quivered. "But... you said you’d reward me. Will you come to my room later?"

"Depends," I shrugged off. "I mean, I have to deal with both of them at the same time, so I don’t even think two hours would be enough. But don’t worry, we can do it next time when I’m not busy. Maybe next week... or next month... who knows?"

Ellie lowered her head, her shoulders shaking slightly; not with anger, but with a deep mix of longing and disappointment.

"Is... is it because I’m not as young... as them?"

Her words struck me hard. I didn’t expect her to express such insecurity just because I wasn’t actively influencing her.
