Genius Kids' Scheme Claiming Daddy's Billionaire Empire novel Chapter 325

Rain check on dinner. Got stuck with family stuff at the mansion.

She hesitated, then sent back a thumbs–up. As she tucked the phone away, she ignored the little sink in her stomach. She opened the fridge, then paused, listening to the mingled groans and giggles from the living room.

Adam pocketed his phone, a half–smile playing on his lips at Irene’s quick response. Through the dining room doors, his mother’s voice carried that special pitch she reserved for performances where she wanted something.

Here we go again.

He wheeled himself in to find Sophia holding court like she was born with a scepter. Natalie hovered nearby, pouring tea with picture–perfect attention. His father sat at the head of the table, face carefully blank in that way that meant he was already tired of whatever game was being played.

“There you are!” Sophia exclaimed, like he’d shown up an hour late instead of right on time. “We were just talking about my amazing

recovery.”

“Mother. Father.” Adam nodded coolly. “Dr. Snow.”

“Natalie has been an absolute angel,” Sophia gushed, patting Natalie’s hand. “These awful headaches nearly killed me, but she’s been here constantly. Even my own son doesn’t check on me this much.” She shot him a look. “Only someone who truly cares would be so devoted–practically family already.”

Subtle as a brick through a window.

Adam kept his face neutral as he reached for his water. “We appreciate your dedication, Dr. Snow. I’ll have accounting add a nice bonus to your next check.”

The room went dead silent. Natalie’s smile stuck to her face like it had been glued there, her eyes widening just enough to show the

shock.

“A bonus?” Sophia’s voice could’ve shattered glass. “This brilliant young doctor saves me from suffering, and you talk about paying

her?”

She pressed her fingers to her forehead with all the subtlety of a soap opera actress. “Oh! The pain’s coming back. Natalie, help me -I swear my son is trying to put me in an early grave.”

Marcus cleared his throat, shooting Adam a please–don’t–make–this–worse look.

“Adam,” his father cut in smoothly, “heard about the Wright development? What do you make of this sudden wedding push?

Adam silently thanked his father for the lifeline. “Walter and Samantha? Victor’s call, not mine.”

“Sure, but isn’t their timeline strange? They’re pushing for an announcement next week.”

That actually caught Adam’s interest. The Wrights had been circling Haven Enterprise for years like hungry sharks. This rush reeked of desperation.

Walter can have her with my blessing, Adam shrugged. “They deserve each other.”

Sophia, irritated at losing control of the conversation, straightened up. “Such a shame, wasting a girl like that on Walter,” she muttered, staring pointedly at Adam. “When there are much better Haven options right here.”

The dig landed perfectly. Natale fidgeted with her napkin while Sophia’s eyes turned to slits.

How’s Grandfather tonight? Adam asked his father, changing course “Need to see him before I go.”
