Even Edmund, who was standing at the side, looked up at the arrogant, illegitimate child.Without waiting for Harold to speak, Darrell continued. "You're quite biased, aren't you, Grandpa? The person Dad likes is Mom, but you barred her from coming into the house."You won't even acknowledge me, and you call me an illegitimate child. People insult and humiliate me because of that."Ethan shouldn't even have been born in the first place. But he received your love and the resources of the Miller family. Aren't you being too unfair to me?"Harold smashed the paperweight near his hand onto the desk. "You're a mutt born from an unrecognized union, but you dare make a fuss in front of me?"I'm telling you, I never acknowledged your mom back then, and I won't acknowledge you now. And you even want to inherit the family with your position? In your dreams!"Darrell sneered. "Is that so? Then, if the person you valued so much has died, who are you handing the Miller family to?""What do you mea

Faced with Olivia's questions, Darrell smiled victoriously. He looked like victory was finally in his hands, hence erasing his past shame."Calm down, Olivia. Ethan shares the same blood as mine, so why would I hurt him? I especially went to save him, but he was severely injured. They're still trying to save his life.""How is he exactly? Where is he?"Harold touched the beads on his bracelet. "You say that he's in your hands, so where's the evidence?"Darrell took out his phone and then played a video that lasted a few seconds. In the video, a man was lying on the bed, and he was seemingly going through an emergency rescue.He wore an oxygen mask on his face, and he was surrounded by doctors. Everyone could see that the face was Ethan's."How is he right now?""After the emergency rescue, his life is no longer endangered. You don't have to worry about that. Ethan is an important pawn under my control, so how can I let anything happen to him?"Having gotten the upper hand, Darrell deci

Darrell had completely revealed his true colors. He didn't hide his arrogance at all, which was a far cry from Ethan's solemn calmness.He slowly walked up to Olivia, extending a hand toward her. "Glad to be here, Olivia."Meeting his malicious gaze, Olivia didn't reach out. Instead, she walked past him and helped Harold up. "Grandpa, I'll take you back to your room."Harold nodded as he slowly got up to leave. Edmund felt helpless as he looked at Harold's wizened figure."Grandpa, are you seriously going to accept his conditions?""We don't have any news of Ethan for now. If Darrell is telling the truth, then that's the only thing I can do. But don't worry."I've already given Ethan many of the important properties and shares many years ago. Even if I acknowledge Darrell's identity, the properties are all under Ethan's name."Darrell won't be able to get them."Harold's eyes were gleaming cunningly as well. "His only betting chip is Ethan. He wants Ethan to stay alive more than us so
Chapter 682
An earth-shaking change had taken place in the Miller family. Darrell walked out of the study with Edmund following him. He was as gleeful as they came.Meanwhile, Janice was involved in the dramatic love triangle, and she couldn't get out of it. Jessica was making a fuss again.For the sake of his so-called chivalry, Kenneth gripped her hand and refused to let go. Janice grew annoyed.Janice slapped Kenneth viciously, making him stunned. After such a long time being apart, Janice had gotten bold enough to slap him!The movement provoked Jessica. As if protecting a child, Jessica dashed forward and began to attack Janice.The family was thrown into chaos. The ladies of the house were pulling each other's hair, and the household staff didn't dare to take sides.Only Sharon dashed forward straight away, throwing Jessica onto the floor. Jessica was in so much pain that she started crying. The scene was in chaos.Then, Darrell appeared. "Aunt Janice, apologize to my mom."Janice was still

Janice didn't know what happened with Harold. But she could see that Darrell had already treated the house as his own."Aunt Janice, you and my dad divorced a long time ago. Logically speaking, you're no longer part of the Miller family."The Miller family has already shown you enough kindness by providing for you for so many years. Now, my mom is back, and she's the rightful lady of the house."If I were you, I would leave this place of my own accord in case I made a fool of myself."Jessica said, "Darrell, how could you talk to your Aunt Janice like that? Janice, I've pampered this child too much. Please don't mind what he says."This is your home, so you can stay here for as long as you want. No one will chase you away."Jessica emphasized her status with every word she spoke. As long as she could make it in here, she would have all the chances in the world.But with Kenneth around, she still had to put on a generous front.Janice crossed her arms. "As expected, your son takes after

Jessica had already noticed that this was the master bedroom. But when she heard Edmund's words, she put on an innocent look."Sorry, I didn't know that this was Janice's room. I just thought that it had a nice view. Look, you can see the lake opposite us from here. It has great lighting too. I thought no one was staying here.""It's okay. Mom, if you like this room, just take it. You'll be the real lady of the Miller family in the future, so you can stay anywhere you want. Don't you agree, Dad?"Raising an eyebrow, Darrell looked at Kenneth. This time, Kenneth didn't agree with that sentiment. Instead, he looked at the room that hadn't changed from before.It was the room Janice personally decorated according to Kenneth's preferences. A few memories surfaced in his mind."There are lots of empty rooms in the villa. If you want a view of the lake, you can get a room upstairs. It's troublesome to move into an already occupied room."Unlike his tame behavior in the past, Darrell turned e

No one knew better than Kenneth how stubborn Janice was with her feelings toward him. He could still remember her showing him the paintings and antiques she had gathered.He remembered the expression on her face back then. She looked like she was offering treasures to him.She was born with arrogance, but for his sake, she tried her best to hide it. She also couldn't help the smile on her face."Look, Kenneth. This is a drawing by a famous artist. I worked very hard to win it at an auction."Back then, Janice had stars in her eyes, and she was as proud as the sun in the sky.When had she changed?She had turned from a brilliant sun into a cold moon. There was no longer any trace of love toward him in her eyes.She even nonchalantly asked that the items be sold at a low price."Janice!" Kenneth grew furious.Janice looked at him lazily. "Do you have anything to say about how I deal with my things?"Before Kenneth would reply, Janice added coldly, "Even if you do, hold it in! I bought th

Janice and Olivia maintained a low profile. It was a stark contrast to the image given off by Jessica and Darrell. Jessica was a little nervous at first.While no one was around, she asked Darrell, "Darrell, what did you do to convince Mr. Harold?"No one knew better than Jessica the stubbornness of that old man. He wouldn't give in to anything, and he was a monster who would even part with his biological son.But Darrell had only spoken a few words to Harold. How did he do it?"I have my ways, Mom. Anyway, just relax and enjoy your position as Mrs. Miller. From today onward, you're the owner of this huge villa."With Darrell's guarantee, Jessica grew much bolder.To verify Darrell's words, she gave Edmund orders on purpose. After all, Edmund represented Harold's intentions.Even Edmund respectfully carried out her orders. Now, Jessica could rest assured and have her way here.She had completely made herself the lady of the house. She would get anything she asked for.In contrast, Jani
