[Bonus chapter] emotional damage

Sometimes, family matters were a complicated subject.

It wasn't that easy. Silas might be a troublemaker, but Dominic had to be lenient with him because of many reasons. The Zhu family might appear too restrictive and intimidating just because they were a powerhouse, but at the same time, no matter how ruthless they were, they extended their patience toward family members.
