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 tidying her hair, which Jessica had messed up. When she heard those words, she
slowly looked up at Darrell.
She didn’t see Darrell often, and she still remembered him as a small child hiding behind Jessica.
She looked at Darrell, whose face looked a little like Ethan’s, but there was a vicious coldness to it.
Like his mother, he looked just like a venomous snake.
“Apologize? Who does she think she is?” Janice patted her dress as she spoke in disdain.
Darrell pulled Jessica to his side and comforted her. Then, he turned to look at Janice. “Aunt
Janice, you should be more self-aware. I admire your commitment to love, and I feel bad for you
too.
“You could persist for so many years for someone who doesn’t even like you. But then again …”
He changed the topic. “You should have some shame. I don’t want to be rude since you’re an elder,
1.2
“My mom had been humiliated by people over the years, and now, it’s about time you realize your
position.”
Darrell was stepping over the line. Even Kenneth felt offended when he heard those words.
Kenneth spoke up, “Darrell, is this how you speak to your elders?”
Darrell smiled. “Dad, you love my mom the most, don’t you? So what’s the matter? This woman has
bullied my mom for years, so I reprimanded her a little.
“But are you pitying her now? Or have you just been faking your feelings for my mom?”
“Kenny!” Jessica shouted.
Kenneth held Jessica in his arms, comforting her as he denied it. “Nonsense. I just don’t want
other people to think that our family lacks proper manners.”
“You’re overthinking it, Dad. She has said even worse things to my mom. I was just giving her a
taste of her medicine. Moreover, Grandpa has already agreed to acknowledge me as part of the
Miller family.”
Kenneth knew Harold too well. Both Kenneth and Harold were stubborn men, and neither of them
would easily admit defeat.
Darrell had only gone to the study for a short while. What did he use to convince Harold?
“Really?” Kenneth’s expression was filled with suspicion.
“Of course, Dad. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Edmund about it. By the way, Mom, you’ve
always wanted to move in, right? Go and pick out a room for yourself. We can move in by today.”
Kenneth was bewildered by the sudden change. He looked at Edmund. As expected, Edmund
didn’t seem to deny it. By the looks of it, Darrell was telling the truth.
“W-We can move in for real?”
“Yes.” Edmund nodded.
Janice frowned, wondering if Harold had softened his heart.
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 …
