Chapter 623
Ethan’s grandfather was strict with him, but the older man protected him well.
His grandfather didn’t tell him the truth, simply saying that Kenneth was busy with work, so he didn’t have the time to come
home.
At that time, the innocent Ethan believed that Kenneth was working to feed the family, not knowing that Kenneth actually
had a family out there.
While Ethan knew nothing about it, Darrell knew Ethan like the back of his hand.
Darrell and the other kids joined hands, smearing cake over Ethan’s face, arms, neck, and b*dy.
Every part of Ethan’s b*dy was dirty.
They laughed at him, and laughter jared into Ethan’s ears.
Still, he was unbothered by it as he stared at Kenneth in a daze.
Ethan thought that Kenneth would be in pain watching him getting bullied and carry him or stop the kids from laughing.
However, Kenneth just stood over there indifferently like a pa*serby.
Darrell said the most hurtful thing with his angelic face,
“Ethan, you’re like your mother. You shouldn’t exist in this world. One day, I will steal everything from you because they are supposed to be mine.”
Ethan’s driver rushed over from afar to carry Ethan, who was covered in cream, away.
The car was slowly driven away.
Ethan saw his supposed father wiping the cream off Darrell’s fingers so carefully, as though Darrell was someone precious.
Ethan didn’t know what he had done wrong, why Kenneth wouldn’t acknowledge him as his son, and why he hated him so much.
That night, Kenneth didn’t return home to celebrate Ethan’s birthday.
Thinking that he could at least see his mother, Ethan cheered himself up.
Yet, before he could make a wish to blow the candles out, his emotionally unstable mother suddenly carried him and ran to the balcony.
She jumped off from the balcony, and Ethan gazed at the starry sky.
Ethan recalled Darrell’s face when Kenneth let him ride on his shoulders.
Darrell told Ethan that he was going to steal everything from him, and Ethan wondered if Darrell need not do so if he was dead.
That little boy’s face matched with the man, who was clad in a white suit. Despite his smooth and sleek clothing, he was using the most disgusting method possible.
Darrell bought off the senior management and shareholders one by one like a poisonous insect.
Everything that Kenneth gave him couldn’t satisfy him.
Kenneth had built up another company, which showed good development abroad. But its achievement couldn’t be compared to Miller Group, which carried histories since over a century ago.
It wasn’t that Darrell’s family didn’t try to butter Ethan’s grandparents up these years. They actually wanted to return to the family.
However, Ethan’s grandfather didn’t give in. “I don’t have a son like you, and that’s final. Ethan will inherit all of the a*sets.”
Ethan had caught on to the fact that Darrell was plotting something behind the scenes. But Darrell covered his tracks well enough to make it difficult for Ethan to collect evidence.
This time, Darrell catastrophized Olivia’s incident, intending to gain something good out of this. That was why he showed up.
Brazenly, Darrell seated himself in the main seat as though he was the true owner of Miller Group.
“It’s been a while, Ethan.” Darrell was wearing a dazzling smile like he always did when he was young, yet he could do the cruelest thing possible.
“Call the security guards to take out whoever is unrelated here,” ordered Ethan. He showed no intention to continue the courtesy.
Darrell a*sumed that his plan was so perfect that it had caught Ethan off-guard, hence the triumphant smile. “Sorry, Ethan, but I’m attending this occasion as a shareholder.”
Ethan crossed his arms, looking at Darrell disdainfully. “So you do know that you’re a shareholder and not the chairman. “I thought you’ve lost a screw in your head after not having seen each other for so long.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
