Chapter 371: Chapter 371
"Hurry up and tell me what’s going on?!" Ivan Everett’s face was as ugly as it could get, "Am I really not your son?"
At this point, Old Master Everett had no way to continue hiding the truth and could only grit his teeth and confess.
"Yes, you are indeed not my biological son!"
Hearing Old Master Everett admit it himself, Ivan Everett felt incredibly complicated inside, unable to pinpoint his emotions.
"No wonder you always favored my second brother ever since we were young. You gave all the good things to him. If it wasn’t for him being so incompetent, you would’ve handed over the company that I worked so hard to build to him!"
Seeing himself at a disadvantage, Old Master Everett immediately started to argue unreasonably, "Even though I’m not your biological father, I raised you, so it’s your duty to be filial to me! Why shouldn’t you give the company to your brother? If it weren’t for my unfortunate son passing away so early, he would be the one enjoying all this wealth and luxury!"
Ivan Everett was so angered by these shameless words that he felt a sharp pain in his heart, clutching his chest and unable to speak.
"Are you okay, honey?" Jocelyn Sterling quickly walked over to support him, her face full of worry.
Bianca Everett and Niall Everett also hurried forward, reaching out to support Ivan Everett, their faces equally filled with concern, "Dad, are you okay?"
Ivan Everett was in so much pain he couldn’t speak, his face turning pale.
Jocelyn Sterling was extremely anxious, then seemed to think of something and quickly looked at Serena, "Serena, do you have any way? Your father’s situation doesn’t look good..."
"Mom, don’t worry, Dad’s having a heart attack due to emotional agitation. He’ll be fine after taking this medicine."
Serena Everett took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket and poured out a pill.
Jocelyn Sterling didn’t dare delay, immediately feeding the pill into Ivan Everett’s mouth with some water. Soon, Ivan Everett’s formerly pale face began to improve, he stopped trembling, and could speak normally again.
"Don’t worry, honey, I’m fine now..."
Old Master Everett watched this scene, his eyes widening in shock.
The medicine was so miraculous! After taking it, Ivan Everett quickly recovered? It was simply unheard of!
"You really can’t have anything happen to you, honey. Otherwise, what would the children and I do?" Seeing Ivan Everett return to normal, Jocelyn Sterling finally breathed a sigh of relief, then tightly grasped Serena’s hand, "We’re so lucky to have Serena! Serena, you saved Mom last time and Dad this time, you’re our family’s little lucky star!"
Hearing this, Old Master Everett’s eyes shifted. So, it was Serena, that little brat, who saved Jocelyn Sterling from poisoning last time. It seems she does have some use...
If he could get the medicine that Ivan Everett just took from her, he wouldn’t have to suffer from heart attacks anymore!
Old Master Everett’s eyes were full of greed as he glared fiercely at Serena, "You have such a useful medicine and you hoard it secretly instead of honoring your elders, you ungrateful thing! Quickly hand over that bottle of medicine to honor me, and then kowtow and apologize, and I won’t kick you out of the Everett Family!"
"Do you even deserve to be my elder?"
Serena almost laughed in anger at Old Master Everett’s shameless words, her rosy, water-slicked lips curving coldly, radiating an intimidating chill.
"You... you ungrateful child!"
Unable to handle Serena, Old Master Everett turned and glared viciously at Ivan Everett.
"Ivan Everett, aren’t you going to do something about this ungrateful child! Just because you’re not my biological son doesn’t mean you can be unfilial to me. If you dare to be unfilial, I will spread it all over Imperia, making you the subject of everyone’s criticism, unable to hold your head up in public!"
Ivan Everett fumed with anger, but had no way out. Celestia values filial piety above all, if he doesn’t deal with Old Master Everett, he’ll be drowned in people’s spit!
Seeing Ivan Everett in such a state, Old Master Everett regained his smug expression.
No matter if Serena revealed to Ivan Everett that he’s not his biological son, as long as he holds on to the claim of raising Ivan, Ivan will have to take care of him for life!
Serena took in Old Master Everett’s smug expression. Her tone was relaxed, but her words instantly changed Old Master Everett’s expression.
"Don’t think that no one knows about the dirty things you’ve done."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What dirty things have I done?!" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Old Master Everett immediately denied, but the flicker of guilt in his eyes betrayed him.
"Serena, if you dare to slander your elders again, you’ll face family discipline!"
"Who dares to touch my daughter/sister..."
Jocelyn Sterling and Bianca Everett’s words of protection were cut short by Serena.
Serena smiled reassuringly at them, her red lips curving, speaking slowly, "Don’t worry, I have a way."
Jocelyn Sterling and Bianca Everett obediently closed their mouths, the hierarchy in the family clearly apparent.
"Ha, I’d like to see what you can do!" Old Master Everett sneered heavily, his face full of disdain.
He had dealt with those old matters cleanly, it was impossible to uncover them!
Serena didn’t rush to speak, instead looking at Ivan Everett, her tone showing more concern, "Dad, make some mental preparation, try not to get too agitated later, it’s not good for your health."
Ivan Everett nodded, "Alright, Serena, I’ll listen to you!"
Once Ivan Everett was mentally prepared, Serena handed over the information she had uncovered, then her eyes, as cold as knives, turned to Old Master Everett.
"The nurturing grace you speak of is all false. Back then, you started a company with your brother, but betrayed him in secret to take it all for yourself, causing him to go bankrupt and fall into billions of debt, forcing him to jump off a building. His wife couldn’t handle the blow, fell ill, and soon passed away too.
Then you set your sights on his young son, adopting him to get his remaining shares..."
With every word Serena uttered, Old Master Everett’s face grew more terrified and flustered, hurriedly interrupting her to stop her from continuing.
He had dealt with everything cleanly, how did that brat Serena find out?!
Ivan Everett looked at the information in his hand, his eyes red with rage, his face full of pain.
He was that adopted young child...
The person he had been filial to for most of his life was actually the enemy who destroyed his family!!!
