If Nash saw that Young Family Village had already been restored to its original state, Theo wondered if it would make him happy. This was Theo's New Year's gift to Nash.
In the evening, Stetson Schmidt hosted a dinner at the Springside Hotel.
Theo and Wilcox made sure to get Nash to drink a few more glasses. Even without using his spiritual power, neither of them could match Nash.
Stetson joined in, but after three to five glasses, he found an excuse to slip away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStetson was Wilcox and Theo's biological father. He raised his glass to Nash and said, "Mr. Calcraft, thank you for looking after Theo!" Nash clinked his glass with Stetson's and smiled. "Theo and I are good friends. There's no need to thank me." After sharing a few more drinks with Stetson, the conversation turned to why Theo was sent to the Skye family in Capiton. When Stetson was young, he had done sfavors for the Skye family.
It was with the Schmidts' support that the Skye family established a solid business foundation.
More than 20 years ago, when the original Schmidt patriarch, Lennox Schmidt, passed away, the Schmidts immediately began a power struggle.
Humphery Schmidt's family was secretly and openly framed by several other Schmidt family branch heads. In just a few months, they faced various assassination attempts and car accidents. Theo was born during this turbulent time.
Humphery was worried that he couldn't compete with those branches, so he entrusted Theo to the Skye family in Capiton to preserve his bloodline.
He was concerned that the Schmidt branches might trace Theo to the Skye family, so he cut ties with them.
After hearing Stetson's explanation, Nash sighed helplessly once again.
He had often marveled at the ruthless nature of power struggles within wealthy families.
Human greed was insatiable. No matter how much wealth they had, they would still fight each other for more. This was true for ordinary families, top-tier families, and probably even for the Youngs.
Mentioning the Skye family made Theo's nose tingle. He raised his glass and downed a gulp of strong liquor.
He had grown up in the Skye family. Although he had always known his true identity, he considered the Skye family his own. All his business knowledge was taught to him by Lucas.
Stetson patted Theo on the shoulder without offering any words of comfort. Instead, he poured himself a glass of liquor and drank it in one gulp.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWilcox suddenly said, "The day after tomorrow is the Schmidts' ancestral worship ceremony. Theo, are you going to change your nback to your real one?" Theo's real nwas Theodore Schmidt. To officially inherit all the Schmidts' assets, he had to change his nback.
Theo shook his head and said, "This nwas given toby the Skye family. They suffered greatly because of me, so I definitely not change it!" "But-" Wilcox began.
"Well said," Stetson interruptedWilcox and said righteously, "A person should never forget their roots. The head of the Schmidts must have a strong character. If he forgets the kindness of the Skye family just to inherit the Schmidts' fortune, he's not worthy of leading the family." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesWilcox took a sip of his drink before speaking slowly, "Although Theo has been integrating the Schmidts' assets these past few days, he has done so under Grandpa's name. To officially take control of the e Schmidts, he must be recognized by the ancestors at the ceremony. However, the ancestors highly value surnheritage and bloodline." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesHearing this, Theo downed another glass of liquor, his gaze resolute. "Whether the ancestors recognizeis their business. How I act is mine. Even if they don't acknowledge me, I won't change my name!" He then turned to Nash and asked, "Nash, when you revive the Youngs, will you change your name?" Nash was momentarily stunned.
After taking a sip of his drink, he smiled and shook his head. "I believe that family heritage is more about the bloodline. Just like how we have the blood of Drakonia running through our veins, no matter where we go, our inherent bloodline remains unchanged." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesThough his surnwas Calcraft, the purest blood of the Youngs flowed within him.
The revival of the Youngs meant the Youngs would still be the Youngs, and the Young Family Village would still be the Young Family Village.
His descendants could change their surnback, but he didn't want to change the nthat had been with him for over 20 years.
Theo grinned, feeling more determined in his decision. He raised his glass to Nash and said, "Great minds think alike!"
