A flush of excitement colored Gerry's cheeks. He chuckled to himself, then turned to Marissa with a taunting smirk.
"Tiffany, Mr. Frazier is coming over. How about you apologize by kneeling in front of us now?" Marissa returned his look with a serene gaze and remained silent. Landen did the same.
Their silence only deepened Gerry's belief that they were intimidated. His smugness grew.
Nearby, Crosby allowed himself a sly smile, already picturing Marissa being escorted away by the police. In his mind, once she and Landen were out of the picture, nothing would stop him from becoming the family leader.

All they could do was await Ferris's arrival. Balthasar had seen right through the situation. He ignored Gerry and Crosby entirely, sulking like a child, his gaze fixed stubbornly on the box of MindEase Elixirs, his jealousy evident for all to see.

"I'm thrilled," he declared, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Landen burst into laughter.
"If you're so happy, why the gloomy face?" Realizing Marissa and Landen were poking fun at him, Balthasar becmore annoyed. He tapped Landen with his cane, reprimanding him, "You impudent brat! Think you can tease me, do you?" Rubbing the spot where the cane had struck, Landen replied with a grin, "Tease you, Grandpa? Never! Just worried about you." "I'm worried about you too, Grandpa," Marissa added, her smile broadening.
Balthasar's temper rose. He shot a stern look at both Marissa and Landen.
"Worried about me? I don't believe it. It seems toyou don't even respect your own grandfather." His voice grew thick with emotion as he continued, "You two only care about Sergio. You don't care aboutat all." He even shot Sera glare.

Grandpa, you're saying you want more MindEase Elixirs, aren't you? Alright then, I'll give you half. I originally planned to give all of them to Uncle Sergio."
As Marissa was about to split the pills, Landen interjected with a playful tone, "Hold on. That's not right. Don't eT forget, you said my dad needs all these pills to fully recover. If you give half to Grandpa, what happens to him?"
Marissa responded with a playful shrug, "Well, we only have so many pills. If Uncle Sertakes Kaff, He'll oply get halfway better. It's up to Grandpa now to decide if he can bear seeing his son confined to a wheelchair."
