Chapter 679
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 mean by that?”
Darrell walked toward Harold. Edmund stared at him warily.
“I heard that Ethan brought some men to a factory in Silk Bay. Why would he be so foolish? That
area is filled with chemical factories, and toxic substances are everywhere.
“Also, there isn’t a single soul within a radius of dozens of miles in that area. If something
happened to him, no one would hear his cries for help.”
Harold had told some men to investigate Darrell. But now, Darrell had exposed himself right away.
More accurately, if Darrell wanted to use Ethan to threaten Harold, this would be the best chance
for him to do it.
“Is he in your hands?” Harold was quite calm about it. He didn’t turn against Darrell right away
“Don’t put it in such a bad way, Grandpa. I heard that Ethan was in danger, so I went to save him
right away. You know, I paid a huge price to rescue him.”
“How is he now?”
“Don’t worry; we’re both from the Miller family, and we have the same blood flowing in our veins.
Of course, I wish for Ethan’s safety more than anyone else.
“I did quite well, so shouldn’t you reward me with something, Grandpa?”
Darrell put on a triumphant smile. After all, he had been waiting forever for this day.
“What do you want?”
“I saved Ethan, but he’s gravely injured. I’ve already had a doctor operate on him overnight. In his current condition, even if he wakes up, he probably can’t go back to the company anymore.
“You could give me the company, you know.”
Darrell crouched down, putting his hands on Harold’s knees like a docile person. “Grandpa, if you acknowledge me as part of the Miller family, I’ll treat you with respect as Ethan does.
“I don’t ask for much. I only want you to acknowledge Mom and me at your birthday banquet.”
Harold was furious. “Are you threatening me?”
“No, I’m negotiating with you. You know that Dad has worked very hard to establish a business for
the past few years.
“He finally got to where he is right now, but he can’t even compare with a hundredth of the Miller family. He is your only son, so how can you bear to let him be criticized out there?
“Moreover, I’m on par with Ethan. I can do the things he can and even the things he cannot do. I
just want you to look at me, too.”
“What if I decline?” Harold spoke in a cold voice.
“Well, then…” Darrell’s voice suddenly turned cold as well.
He said nonchalantly, “I won’t be able to guarantee Ethan’s safety.”
Just then, Olivia opened the door to the study. She glared coldly at Darrell. “What did you do to
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 …
