Chapter 709
Kenneth turned at Jessica. âArenât you the person who keeps wanting to leave?â
Hurt, tears trickled down Jessicaâs cheeks. âDo you think I want to stay here? I simply canât bring myself to
make our son leave. He followed us around while we built our careers for so many years. Heâs suffered a
lot.â
Jessica then knelt before Harold. âDad, do you know how tough our life was? I know that you look down
upon me because of my family background, but what did Darrell do wrong? The Millersâ blood runs in him,
and the person Kenneth likes is clearly me. You drove us apart and drove Kenneth out of the house. Even
though weâre married, people outside still look down upon us.
âDarrell is the most pitiful person here. He has a family, but he has to bear the title of an illegitimate child.
He was bullied since he was young and used to return home with bruises over his body. Do you know how
much it hurt to see him like that as his mother? Heâs an innocent child. He should be getting good
teaching and enjoying all sorts of resources like Ethan.
âYet, he was called an illegitimate child and humiliated. Things shouldnât have been this way. Take pity on
us and acknowledge Darrell, please. Heâs your biological grandson!â Jessica cried.
Harold remained unfazed at her touching words.
He then turned to look at Edmund. âBring the box in my study over.â
Edmund nodded.
Kenneth wanted to help Jessica up, but she wouldnât let this chance slip through her fingers. She yanked
him over instead. âKenny, tell him what you really want to say. Donât bottle it up.â
Kenneth turned his face away. âI have nothing to say.â
Jessica just wished he wouldnât be this stubborn. Had he not been this stubborn, they wouldâve been able to return to the Millers a long time ago. She wouldnât have needed to put on a show.
Edmund held a steel box and Harold opened it to take some things out of it.
âBack when I drove Kenneth out of the house, I froze his bank accounts because I wondered if you would reveal your true colors when he was broke. But Janice was silly and lent him money. Hereâs the credit
note.â
The credit note was worth ten million dollars.
He continued, âShe was the person getting hurt the most and yet she couldnât bring herself to see Kenneth
going to develop his career somewhere else and then contacted her acquaintance over there to help him
out.â
Hearing that, Kenneth looked at Janice in disbelief. âIs that true?â
Back then, his career had been smooth and he had been thinking that it was because he was one of the
Millers.
He didnât know that it was Janiceâs money.
Janice indifferently answered, âItâs no longer important.â
âDo you think that you were so lucky to have so many clients? She begged her father and grandmother
and contacted her relatives to help you out. That was why you were successful. While Janice was helping
you out, what was Jessica doing?â Harold asked.
Kenneth didnât know.
Harold threw a few pictures.
They were pictures of Jessica purchasing luxuries and posh cars. She also headed to high-end
restaurants and house agencies and traveled.
Harold continued, âShe splurged your money buying houses and cards. She led her poor family in and sucked your money dry.â
