Chapter 686
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 a*sured and have her
way here.
She had completely made herself the lady of the house. She would get anything she asked for.
In contrast, Janice, who used to keep arguing with her over a single ring, seemed to avoid her
completely. No matter what Jessica did, Janice never once showed up.
Even though they were both living in the villa, the villa was simply too huge. If Janice wanted to
avoid Jessica, it would be quite difficult for them to meet each other.
Seeing that Janice had given in, Jessica was even bolder with her actions.
Kenneth, who used to always side with her, felt a little upset. Before this, he saw Jessica as a
gentle and understanding woman. But now, he felt as if Jessica was the aggressive woman here.
He didn’t know about the deal between Harold and Darrell either. When he asked Darrell about it,
Darrell only smiled and told him to stay put in the Miller residence.
Darrell said that he would take care of everything else.
Harold’s birthday banquet was just around the corner. Olivia was supposed to be the one preparing
The two were eager to prove their identities to the world. Even before the banquet, everyone had
already heard about the change in the Miller family.
Someone also spread rumors that Ethan had died. As a result, the entire upper-cla*s society was
thrown into chaos.
Kenneth only heard of it the night before the banquet. He went to Darrell in a rage. “What exactly
happened to Ethan? What did you say to Harold?”
“Why are you being so mad, Dad? You hate that woman and her son, don’t you? Why would you be
concerned about him?”
Kenneth was even more convinced that this had something to do with him. “He was your brother!
Were you the one who did it?”
“Dad, what are you saying? You’re the one who disowned him, right? If you don’t acknowledge him
as your son, why would he be my brother? Moreover, if he’s dead, it’ll benefit us even more.
“After he dies, the Miller family will be ours. Hasn’t this always been your wish? I helped you
return to the Miller family. You should be thanking me instead.”
Kenneth slapped Darrell with all his might.
In the past, he only felt that Darrell was too stubborn. He didn’t expect Darrell to be so vicious.
“What exactly did you do? Is Ethan alive or not?”
“His current situation doesn’t concern you anymore, Dad. At the banquet tomorrow, Grandpa will
announce that I’m his biological grandson.
“I will be the one inheriting the Miller family in the future, and I’ll be the only son you’ve ever had!”
It was late at night.
On a balcony of an apartment in the city, a slender figure entered through the window.
When the man heard the sounds, he had already jumped out of bed. He skilfully retrieved a
weapon from under his pillow.
But the intruder moved even faster than him, and the cold weapon was held against his head. ”
Don’t move.”
The man looked up. When he saw Ethan’s eyes, a look of shock flashed across his own. “It’s you!”
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 …
