On the surface, the Yin Family appeared calm and unruffled.
But beneath the surface, the undercurrents were far more turbulent than outsiders could ever imagine.
Even though Mrs. Yin had kept the truth from Charles Yin all those years, how could Charles not be suspicious?
The car accident back then was so strange—there was no way he would give up investigating.
Once Charles Yin gained his own power, he quickly and secretly uncovered some of the hidden truths from back then.
But because these matters involved his mother, he could only pretend not to know.
But that didn’t mean the Yin Family or Mrs. Yin would keep tolerating things forever.
Charles Yin couldn’t confront his mother directly, but he could use someone else’s hand to stop her.
He was a master at getting others to do his dirty work—whether it was killing with a borrowed knife, or using someone else's goodwill for his own benefit.
He knew that as soon as he brought out Sienna Yin, his mother would definitely lose her composure.
As expected—she made her move!
And this time, her actions really angered Grandma Evelyn Yin!
As long as Grandma speaks up and gets involved, then his mother can’t just do whatever she wants.
“This fire isn’t big enough yet. Looks like I’ll have to stoke it some more.” Charles Yin sighed softly. “Getting Grandma to take a clear stance isn’t that easy.”
"President, about Sienna Yin... Are you really going to bring him back?" Alex asked uncertainly. "The chairman once promised you that the Yin Family’s inheritance would never fall into someone else’s hands. But if Sienna Yin comes back, then you..."
“Do you think there’s anyone left in the Yin Group who could actually threaten my position?” Charles Yin grabbed a dart from a plate on the table, didn’t even look, and tossed it—thud thud thud, every single one hit the bullseye.
Alex paused before replying, "Most of the Yin Group’s shares are in your hands, but there’s still a lot at Yin Manor."
“I never planned to use this pawn, but for Cecilia, I don’t mind doing it once. If Sienna Yin comes back to the family, Grandma will definitely give him some assets to keep him quiet. But... after all these years, he’s probably been spoiled useless, right? Even if you give a loser a pile of money, what’s there to worry about?” Charles Yin’s lips curled into a cold, ruthless smile. “This is my mother’s handiwork!”
"Yes, President." Alex immediately straightened up. "I’ll make the arrangements right away."
“Remember, from now on, he’s the second young master of the Yin Family, even if he is... an illegitimate child.” Charles Yin smiled faintly.
"Yes." Alex turned and left immediately.
Assistant A hadn’t gone far when Charles Yin’s phone rang. He didn’t answer, but his mother’s voice came through the voicemail: "Charles, you still won’t pick up my calls at a time like this? Do you know your grandma is about to bring that bastard back? Once he’s back, how long can you keep your place as the eldest son of the Yin Family? Son, no matter what, we’re the closest—no one will ever threaten your position! Don’t worry! I’m heading back to N City right now! I’ll stop your grandma no matter what! The Yin Family belongs to you alone! Nobody else will get a share!"
Charles Yin held his wine glass, swirling it gently. He only took a whiff—he didn’t drink.
His mother’s voice continued on the phone: "Son, if Cecilia Gu really is a descendant of the Yun Family, I won’t stop you two from being together! The Yun Family may not be wealthy, but in Y Province, they’re pretty influential. She’s barely good enough for you! As long as you get Cecilia to go back to the Yun Family and acknowledge her roots, I won’t oppose your marriage anymore! But you have to secure more support, and fast! Otherwise, once that bastard comes back, your grandma will put him on the board of directors. If he gets in, he’ll be our biggest threat! Your father is still missing, and if he returns, he’ll have inheritance rights too."
"Even if you’re already president of the Yin Group and hold most of the shares, your grandma could casually give that bastard enough to keep him comfortable for life. No way—I won’t allow it! Everything your grandma has must belong to you alone! Son, call me back when you get this message! I’m hanging up now, I’m heading back!"
With a click, the call ended.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Charles Yin’s lips.
When Mrs. Yin returned to the country, Charles Yin had already noticed something was off. He secretly ordered Alex to contact the people monitoring Sienna Yin, and deliberately leaked news about Sienna to Mrs. Yin several times, even mentioning that Grandma Evelyn Yin had given Sienna quite a few things.
When it came to fighting for the family fortune, his mother would set aside her prejudices against Cecilia and turn to the Yun Family for support.
No matter how much she liked Sylvia Ran, Sylvia’s parents weren’t even in the country—their foundation was shaky, and they were no help to the Yin Family.
How could his mother try to push Sylvia Ran on him again at such a critical moment?
Right now, the top priority was to secure control over the family’s finances.
His mother was still the same as ever!
Charles Yin tilted his head back and drained his glass of red wine, then set it down and walked away.
All he’d done was play a small trick—bringing Sienna Yin, who everyone had forgotten, back into the picture—and he got such a satisfying result.
Or maybe, Mother, you’ve gotten too comfortable these years and forgotten just how capable your son is?
Alex faithfully carried out Charles Yin’s orders.
When Mrs. Yin returned to the country, Charles Yin had already noticed something was off. He secretly ordered Alex to contact the people monitoring Sienna Yin, and deliberately leaked news about Sienna to Mrs. Yin several times, even mentioning that Grandma Evelyn Yin had given Sienna quite a few things.
Sure enough, Mrs. Yin lost her temper and sent people to Sienna Yin’s place to cause trouble.
Mrs. Yin’s actions infuriated Grandma Evelyn Yin, who called to scold her and threatened to bring Sienna Yin back into the family.

Now Mrs. Yin was truly panicking.
On the surface, the President had always seemed uninvolved, doing nothing at all.
But Alex knew everything was under the President’s control.
He had calculated everyone’s motives—he knew Sienna Yin was desperate to return to the family, knew Mrs. Yin’s fears about Sienna, and knew the Chairman’s guilt over his grandson who’d been left outside.
All the President did was stir the pot, and he managed to shift Mrs. Yin’s focus away from the young mistress. Now Mrs. Yin didn’t have the energy to bother her at all!
The young mistress was finally safe!
After Mrs. Yin hung up, Grandma Evelyn Yin called: "Charles, Grandma needs to discuss something with you."
"Go ahead, Grandma," Charles Yin replied calmly as ever.
"Grandma wants to bring Sienna Yin back... Charles, Grandma promised you, and I always keep my word! You’re the heir to the Yin Family, that’s beyond question—no one can threaten your position." Grandma Evelyn Yin said, sounding a bit uneasy.
This grandson’s tough methods reminded her a bit of her own husband.
Back then, her husband was just as domineering and cold.
Charles Yin deliberately feigned ignorance: "Why does Grandma suddenly want to bring him back? All these years, the Yin Family has supported them—we haven’t treated them badly."
"Grandma’s getting old and wants someone around." Grandma Evelyn Yin’s tone softened. "Charles, once Cecilia’s baby is born, I’ll give half my shares to you. Don’t worry, Grandma knows what she’s doing. You’re the true heir of the Yin Family. Sienna can’t match your abilities—he’s no threat to you. If you agree, Grandma will help you resolve the issues between your mother and Cecilia."
This was exactly what Charles Yin had been waiting for!
Grandma, it wasn’t easy to get you to take the bait!
Charles Yin smiled lightly. "So how does Grandma plan to resolve it?"
"Your mother bullies Cecilia simply because Cecilia doesn’t have enough backing. I’ve decided to transfer five percent of the anonymous shares to Cecilia’s name. With Yin Family shares, she’ll be part of the board—your mother won’t be able to push her around so easily anymore." Grandma Evelyn Yin replied.
Five percent of the anonymous shares!
Grandma, you really do go big!
Or is it that you just can’t wait to bring Sienna Yin back to the family, Grandma?
Seeing Charles Yin stay silent, Grandma Evelyn Yin continued, "Also, I’ll fulfill my promise of a dowry for Cecilia. The Gu Family is gone, so it doesn’t matter when I give the money. Charles, you’re a smart boy—Grandma knows you understand how things work."
Charles Yin chuckled softly. "What are you saying, Grandma? Sienna’s my brother—of course it’s natural for him to come home. Why would I object? Oh, isn’t his twenty-fifth birthday coming up in a few days? As his older brother, I’d like to throw him a big birthday party! What do you think, Grandma?"
Grandma Evelyn Yin was very pleased. "Good, good, good—you really are thoughtful! Let’s do it your way!"
After hanging up, a cold, ruthless smile appeared on Charles Yin’s lips.
He didn’t just know Sienna Yin wasn’t a threat to his position.
He also knew that, over the years, his mother’s people had turned Sienna into a spoiled playboy addicted to gambling, women, and drugs.
Honestly, his mother’s cruelty was almost a match for his own.
To keep his place secure, his mother might be in South America, but her heart was always back home.
Still, how much money would Grandma give Sienna? That was something to look forward to.
Maybe Grandma wanted to bring Sienna back just to keep his mother from going too far?
Things were getting more and more lively.
And the livelier things got, the safer Cecilia was!
Cecilia, do you understand how much I’m doing for you?
Cecilia was about to take her afternoon nap, but before she could lie down, her phone rang.
Seeing it was Grandma Evelyn Yin calling, Cecilia paused for a moment before quickly answering. "Grandma? Is there something you need?"
"Cecilia, just a quick reminder—don’t stay out too long. In a few days, the second young master of the Yin Family will be back, and we’ll be throwing him a birthday party. As his sister-in-law, you’ll have to be there," Grandma Evelyn Yin said warmly over the phone.
