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
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
The glint in Ethan's eyes was so cold that it was frightening. "I've finally caught you."The man was going to bite his own tongue in reflex, but the latter took the chance to shove the gun handle into the man's mouth.Ethan's icy tone could send chills down one's spine. "Wanna commit suicide with poison? Not a chance!"Since the man's plan had gone out of the window, he smashed his elbow toward Ethan's chest.Ethan, who had lost to the man a lot of times, came fully prepared this time. Ethan would never give the man any chance.The man was ruthless, but not to Ethan's extent! Ethan stopped the man's move by breaking his arm, and the sound of bone cracking could be heard.After sharing a few moves in between, Ethan kept the man under control. The man probably couldn't understand why a president like Ethan would be so skillful in fighting. Ethan was definitely that of his kind!It was no wonder Ethan could escape such a situation!When the man wanted to send a message with his other h
Death and pain would never fear people like Black Fox, but they were afraid of one thing—losing consciousness.The light above his head shone upon him, showing how wet his forehead was due to sweat.The cold needle pricked into his skin. The pain was that of an ant's bite to him. But veins were protruding on the back of his hands as they were balled into fists. He was fighting back in reflex.Ethan watched him coldly. "Either you spill it now or you'll do it without dignity later. Who have you been working for by putting your life at stake all these years? "Who ordered you to hurt my son and Liv? Considering that we're from the same line of work, I can let you die with dignity."Black Fox gulped down his saliva. "Give up, dude. I will never tell you no matter what. You can deceive others with this but not me."His countersurveillance was good, and his mentality was much better than average people."Very well. I have all the time in my life to wait until the drug kicks in." Ethan retu
