Chapter 178

As Jaden spoke, his entire body radiated hostility, like a demon rising from the depths of hell. “I’ll gradually weaken Kyle’s influence, planting spies around him to monitor his every move. If he shows any signs of rebellion, I’ll end him completely. Even if something unexpected happens and I have to leave, I’ll make sure he can never pose a threat.

“As for the Watson family, I spared them from total annihilation just so Frank could cling to the illusion of a comeliack. Now that my mother’s resources are nearly depleted, it’s time for him to understand that a useless person stays useless, and no amount of money can change that…

“You never mentioned anything about your mother before. If Hank hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known Ella cautiously asked.

“What did he say!”

“He mentioned that your mother eloped with your father and died not long after giving birth. Your father has been squandering her assets ever

since.

“A man relying on his wife’s money to turn his fortunes is indeed shameful And the fact that so many valuable items had been sold off, yet the Watson family languished in a half–dead state all these years, only adds to the disgrace, Ella thought in disdain

Although the amniocentesis hadn’t succeeded this time, Ella already had another plan. With the child due in just over three months, the first thing after the birth would be to use the hair for a paternity test. The bet would remain, and she would make sure they pay a huge price,

“I just don’t understand why your mother was attracted to him. Was she a naive girl?” Ella asked, looking perplexed,

Jaden disclosed, “Frank was her classmate at university. At first, my mother hid her identity while studying, thinking that Frank didn’t know who she really was, but her true identity had been exposed from the start. Frank wasn’t focused on academics or career; he was more interested in the backgrounds of all the students, seeking those who beneft him or whom he could step on

“Plus, he was handsome and charming in his youth, and with his smooth talk, my naive mother was deeply attracted to him. After graduation, my mother took him home. My grandfather saw through him immediately and strongly opposed the marriage. Though my mother was initially swayed. Frank, sensing her hesitation, deliberately made her pregnant.”

“Yes, I was conceived. That’s why my m grandfather was away

“What Did your mother and out?” Ella was appalled by the revelation.

Jaden continued, “At first, she didn’t know. She lived a hard life and helped him raise money everywhere. But one day, Frank resolved his financial issues on his own. My mother thought he was exceptionally talented in business and believed in him. However, as the financial troubles kept reoccurring. Frank always managed to patch the holes quickly. The amounts involved were substantial, so my mother grew suspicious.

“She discovered Frank had stolen things, leading to a major argument, and she almost had a miscarriage, Frank claimed it was to provide her v better life and that he was compelled to do so. My mother regretted it at the time but couldn’t change anything.

“She wanted to return to her family, but after that incident, she could only lie in bed recuperating. She planned to leave with me after giving birth. However, my father found out, and after several unsuccessful attempts to persuade her to stay, he began misbehaving and even brought other women home, which caused her postpartum health to deteriorate, leading to her eventual demise.”

“Did your grandfather know?” Ella asked,

“After my

y mother ran away, my grandfather fell gravely ill due to the shock and his poor health. The relatives there concealed the truth, so he believed my mother was happily married and didn’t investigate further. Although I care about him, I can’t just appear before him rashly,” Jaden wid, his tone ringed with sorrow.

“I didn’t expect that. What about the antiques?”

“Ive almost bought them all back and stored them in a bank safe under your na

er your name. The password is your birthday”

“Sinor dry belonged to my mother, they should go to her daughter–in–law. It’s all yours,” Jaden said with a canal air, showing little regand for the

Altuzupli Ella was no stranger to luxury, the sudden possession of priceless antiques still made her heart race. She thought in awe, ‘Is this a sisall bank safe dejesut boa? This is money! di must lar worth ballion! Even if I went bankrupt, this windil last for generations?

Jaden asked, his lipa curling into a side

ammered without thinking, her face showing a faini yet unmistakable blend of awe and joy.

“What if I hadn’t come?” Jaden was most curious about this. ‘Ella is never one to act rashly. The situation was clearly not in her favor this time, yet she still agreed to a paternity test. What could her real motive ber he wondered.

I have a backup plan; she said plainly.

A fake report

Can’t you

think of something

sighed, feeling helpless.

What else could it be? Did you collude with the hospital

lla elenched her fists, thinking furiously, ‘Are you so eager to be cheated on?

Yes, I colluded with them n and made a fake report!” she said spitefully,

Even if Ella claimed the child was his, Jaden probably wouldn’t

In’t believe it. He was already convinced the child was Chase’s. Since that was the case. she would make everyone look foolish with the report once the child was born.

Jaden looked at her in confusion, not understanding where he had gone wrong. However, this return hadn’t been in vain. Their relationship had improved significantly, and Ella seemed to have softened considerably. Previously, she had been like a hedgehog, bristling with defensiveness. Now, she seemed afraid he might leave without notice and cherished every moment with him.

When they arrived at the hospital, Ella was disheartened to find that Yolanda was still unconscious.

“What should we do about this? I’m not going to let it slide. The driver who caused the accident is one of Simon’s men. If you hadn’t shown up. I would have arranged for another accident, leaving him barely alive in the hospital!” Ella said, her voice simmering with anger and frustration. Tit for tat. If they could clear themselves of wrongdoing, so could Ella

“I’ll make sure Simon ends up in the hospital. I’ll make him return the money from selling the antiques,” Jaden stated with a chilling calm.

“How will you do it?”

“Simon forced himself on a girl, causing her to kill herself. Frank didn’t know about this. It was Hose who handled i

“What That bastard!” Ella gritted her teeth in anger.

Jaden said flatly, “I’ll make him behave in the future. To him, it was a simple matter of breaking his limbs and leaving him in a vegetative state, unable to move anything but his eyes. When he considered Simon’s unwanted advances toward Ella, he thought, “Right, he must be thoroughly crippled

Jaden’s eyes grew colder at the thought. He had no sympathy for those three people. The only person he cared about was his little sister, who had been harmed by them. They even tried to hurt his beloved woman while he was away. Now that all the antiques had been removed from the Watson family, the real end for them had begun
