Chapter 1257:
Alan didn’t miss a beat. “Nope.”
Kevin's expression dropped. Cold. Icy. This man was testing every ounce of his patience.
“Then I'll leave you to it,” he said stiffly. “No point sticking around. I'll be back tomorrow.”
He stood, adjusting his jacket. As he passed Donna, his tone turned cutting. “He might be protecting you now,
but not forever. I will get my kids back.”
Alan’s expression darkened. That was it. “You're pretty confident for someone who hasn't raised these two in the
past five years,” he shot back. “What makes you think you have any right to claim them now?”
Kevin snapped. “Alan Briggs! Stay out of this. It's none of your business.”
Alan didn’t flinch. His usual irritating smirk was back. “Doesn’t matter. I'm making it my business.”
Kevin looked like he was about to blow a fuse. This guy had to be insane.
“Don’t say | didn’t warn you,” Kevin said, his voice low and tight. “The Briggs Group might be a giant, but with
the four other families working together, you're not walking away from this with anything.” His tone had shifted
—more threat than warning now. “So stay out of what doesn’t concern you.”
Alan didn’t flinch. Just raised an eyebrow, still lounging comfortably. “You sure it's four families?”
Kevin narrowed his eyes. “Of course.” Why not?

Alan gave a half-smirk, voice as casual as ever. “If I'm not mistaken, Noel Blake tends to listen to his wife.”
Kevin blinked, confused. “What's that got to do with anything?”
“I'm saying,” Alan leaned in just slightly, every word deliberate, “his wife happens to be my cousin's best friend.”
Alan’s grin widened. “So tell me—do you really think Noel's gonna risk that friendship to go against me? Against
the Briggs Group?”
Kevin didn’t answer. He didn’t have to. Because they both knew the truth. Noel wouldn't dare. His head was
somewhere else now—completely taken over by thoughts of Greta. The man who used to be calm, cold, and
disciplined had somehow ended up completely at her mercy.
“Three families are enough,” he snapped, jaw tight.

“Then go ahead and try,” Alan said with a shrug. “But if you upset Mina in the process, it won't end well.”
Kevin frowned. “Mina?”
Alan glanced at him sideways. “Just
a friendly reminder. We move in the
scircles—I figured you'd know
better.” There was a tAlapyed a

you want to be a father, then act like
one. Visit your kids. Show up, be
present,” Alan said, his tone firm but
calm. “Don't try to snatch them like
they're property.” Because once he
went down that road, there was no

Kevin's expression didn’t change. “This has nothing to do with you.”
Alan leaned back, unbothered. “If
you're that determined to fi ht, fine.

A cold tension settled in the room like
a draft. Kevin's expression tightened.
