My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 461

Chapter 461:

This information led Carrie to grow suspicious. She turned to Melany, asking cautiously, “Is it possible that

Daxton was caught up in such activities?” Though she posed the question gently, Carrie internally dismissed the

thought almost immediately. Given Daxton’s reputable character, she found it hard to believe he would engage

in such misconduct.

Melany explained both affirmatively and negatively, “In a manner of speaking, yes. However, it was his father

who had the gambling issues. Shawn had to intervene, ultimately removing him from the Norris Group to

confront his addiction. Shawn was notoriously headstrong.”

After a brief pause, Melany looked affectionately at Shawn and replied lightly, “The Norris men do share a trait—

they're as stubborn as can be.”

Shawn, maintaining a grave demeanor, replied, “Hold on, why involvein this? Focus on his actions, not ours.”

Watching the elderly pair quibble brought a smile to Carrie's face. She pondered if she and Kristopher might one

day find themselves in a similar, playful dispute.

Melany, with a laugh, continued, “Daxton’s father didn’t stop there; he went on to gamble on horse races in

Ofrubert, where he amassed a considerable sum, then relocated to Fairwyn and established himself as a

successful junket operator, earning a significant reputation.”

Shawn sighed, leaning back in his chair. “Cillian is a strong-willed man, completely unlike Roberto. If Roberto had

even half his determination, Kristopher wouldn't have had to shoulder the entire Norris family’s burden at such a

young age. Things wouldn't have turned out like this.”

Roberto was Kristopher’s father, and from Shawn's words, Carrie could infer that Cillian was likely Daxton’s

father.

Melany shook her head, her expression heavy with disapproval. “Determination without boundaries can be

dangerous. Gambling is one thing, but he’s tangled up with criminals abroad. If he keeps this up, it's only a

matter of tbefore something serious happens.”

Carrie, startled by the revelation, leaned forward slightly. “Does Daxton know about this?”

Melany shrugged, her tone uncertain. “I don’t know if he does. Ever since Kristopher severed ties with the Garcia

family, we haven't kept in touch. Their affairs are a mystery to us. But Daxton’s father has been living abroad for

years, and they barely see each other. They're practically strangers.”

Shawn added thoughtfully, “There was a time, a few years ago, when Daxton went abroad for his studies. It

seemed like their relationship might have improved then.”

Melany gave a skeptical hum. “I doubt Cillian would involve Daxton in his business dealings. Daxton’s always

been well-mannered, polite, and clean-handed. He's nothing like his father.”

After a pause, Melany turned to Carrie with a small smile. “Since you and Daxton already know each other, |

think it's good to stay in touch. After all, family connections are important. And you, Carrie—you’re like a ray of

sunshine.”

“Your positive energy could be a good influence on him.”

Before Carrie could respond, her phone began to ring again.
