Chapter 677
Janice’s words almost pissed Kenneth to death.
In the past, Janice had always spoken carefully to him. But now, even her punctuation was
attacking him.
Had this woman always been so sharp-tongued?
The thing that gave Kenneth the most heartache was Jessica’s painful childhood.
But now, Janice had talked about it in such detail. Kenneth felt a little uncomfortable as he held
Jessica’s waist..
Jessica was already sobbing, and she meant it this time. Her greatest taboo was someone
mentioning her past.
Of all the things to talk about, Janice had chosen the worst topic.
“Look at you, Janice! You don’t look like a proper lady at all. You look more like an aggressive
woman. Don’t you feel ashamed at all?”
Kenneth couldn’t find any other words to insult her with, so he kept repeating the same things.
Kenneth always said that Janice was an aggressive and rude woman. Janice wanted to say
something more, but this time, Olivia stepped forward and spoke up.
“Mr. Miller Senior, it doesn’t matter if you’re already divorced.
“Even if she’s a random stranger on the street, you shouldn’t use words like that to slander her.
“Moreover, she’s a woman who used to love you with all her heart.”
Janice looked at Olivia in shock. She didn’t expect Olivia to stand up for her.
Olivia felt nervous, but anger overtook her. “I don’t know what happened between you two.
“From the two meetings I’ve seen, your wife is like a glue that keeps sticking to you. She looked
gentle, but every word she spoke was an attempt to provoke Mom.
“And you kept scolding Mom without even realizing what was happening. I can only imagine the
horrible attitude you had 20 years ago.

“Other than loving you, what did Mom do wrong? She even had a child for you, but you never once cared about her. You even insulted her with crude words like that.
“In the past, she was a pampered princess. But now, she’s spoken of as a rude and terrible woman!
“Your heart ached for your wife, but have you ever thought about Mom’s feelings at all?”
Being reprimanded by someone younger, Kenneth immediately had a cold look on his face. “Shut up. This is no place for children to talk.
“I’m telling you, she ended up like this because she deserved it. From the very start, I told her that
I won’t love her.”
Kenneth was probably the most straightforward man in the world.
As an onlooker, Olivia got furious in just a few minutes of their conversation. But Janice had
experienced the same pain countless times.
It was no wonder that Janice would be driven to insanity.
Olivia wanted to speak up more for Janice, but Janice pulled Olivia behind her back.
Then, she faced Kenneth. “Everyone knows that, so you don’t have to emphasize that point to
every person you see.
“You don’t have to degrade me just to make yourself look high and mighty. You have no right to
say anything about me.”
Janice had indeed changed a lot. If it were before, she would start throwing things around and scream hysterically. But now, she coldly admitted to the fact.
Then, after giving Harold the medicine, she helped him up. She gave Kenneth a cold glare.
“If you truly care about your father, don’t provoke him at times like this. This place is no longer
your home. Edmund, see the guests off.”
At that moment, Janice carried herself like the lady of the house. She was noble and firm.
In comparison, Jessica leaned into Kenneth’s embrace as if she didn’t have a skeleton. Olivia
thought that she looked quite shameless.
The two flanked Harold, getting ready to help him leave. But then, Darrell blocked their path.

“Grandpa, I’m going to repeat the same things I said.
“It doesn’t matter if you acknowledge me or not; I’m still your biological grandson. Without Ethan,
the Miller family will still need an heir.”
When Darrell spoke of Ethan’s absence, everyone in the room looked at him.
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 …
