Under everyoneâs gaze, Charles continued steadily, âAs for what has happened to Steward Group recently, I guess all of you are quite curious. Iâm also curious about one thing - after the explosion happened twenty years ago, what on earth had happened, and is Phoebe my biological daughter?
Hence, I spent a lot of time and effort on the investigation. Finally, I found a key person.â
As he finished speaking, Jeffrey walked out, accompanied by two bodyguards.
It should be the first time for Jeffrey to attend such an event. However, he didnât feel weird or uncomfortable at all. Instead, with a bright smile, he said hello to people who were looking at him.
Charles continued, âMs. Radomil used to bring me a relic of my latest wife and told me it was something from her mother. And this man standing here is her father who has brought her up. Heâs the only one who knows the truth and if Ms. Radomilâs mother was my wife died in the accident.â
Off the stage, Donald whispered, âIt seems he wants to indicate the relic and your words were fake upon Jeffreyâs confirmation, so he could kick you out of the Stewardsâ Mansion.â
Stella said, âIt seemed so probably.â
Not far from here, Cameron was also watching the scene solemnly while pressing on his walking stick.
Charles added, âIâm quite curious about the whole thing. However, before the truth is revealed, I also want to make another announcement. No matter what the result would be, no matter if Phoebe or Ms. Radomil is my daughter, I would give the whole Steward Group to my biological daughter.â
Upon hearing it, all guests started discussing.
Charles made a wise move - as long as he had bribed Stellaâs gambler father, even if Stella was Charlesâs biological daughter, once Jeffrey denied, Steward Group would fall in Phoebeâs hand. Stella couldnât get anything but also could be blamed.
However, in that case, some were confused - if Stella was truly his biological daughter, what would his purpose be by doing this? Would it be because that he loved his adopted daughter than his biological one all over the years, so he didnât care about Stella at all?
To say the least, about the relic and birth mother, if Stella had made the story just for the wealth and fame of the Steward family, she would lose all standing and reputation right here tonight.
Others also knew who her backer was now. So they guessed if Charles was going to get up in the grudge with Conrad Group.
No matter what his plan was, as long as he had made the decision, all the guests were confused.
Under all the gazes, Jeffrey walked to Charles and stood next to him. Rubbing his hands and glancing through the off stage, he grinned, âIâve never imagined that I could get a chance to talk to so many rich people... Itâs off-topic. This man... Mr. Steward invited me here to ask what happened twenty years ago and if Stella is my or his biological daughter. Itâs no doubt. Iâve brought up my daughter. Look how pretty she is. Of course, sheâs my good daughter.â
Jeffrey paused a bit to look at all kinds of expressions of the audience. Instantly, he felt himself a focus. He had never been so proud. Standing upright, he continued, âBut...unfortunately, sheâs not my biological daughter.â
He started to ring the bell sadly, âI remember it was a dark night. On my way home, I saw a mother and her daughter faint in the bush on the roadside. Out of kindness, I saved them. I wanted to call the police and help them find their family, but the woman said that a bad man was looking for them, so she stopped me from calling the police. I couldnât do anything but only keep them, raising them from then on.â
A guest off stage questioned, âLyndon Steward died in the explosion, and Mr. Steward woke up after a coma for three months. It was reported on the news at that time. Why didnât they go back to the Stewardsâ Mansion after that but vanished?â
Jeffreyâs smile twisted more, âWhat else would be the reason? It was because she fell in love with me and was unwilling to go back.â
âBullshit!â
âYou can ask around if I bullshit or not. She also gave birth to my son. My son is the top...â
âShut up!â
A femaleâs cold voice ran out.
No one noticed when Stella had been standing opposite Jeffrey.
Jeffrey looked over at her and said in a flattery tone, âMy good daughter, I had raised you for so many years. If I had known that your biological father is someone famous, I would have sent you home earlier, so that you didnât need to suffer with us.â
Stella ignored him completely. She said to Charles, âMr. Steward, now youâve got the answer you want. Why do you still keep him here?â
Jeffrey frowned, seemingly quite unhappy, âHow can you talk to me like that? Iâve raised you for so many years. Now youâve found a rich father, so you donât want to admit me as your father, do you?â
Meanwhile, Charles also raised his hand to hint at his bodyguard to take Jeffrey off stage.
Jeffrey kept cursing and nagging, but he didnât stay longer. Soon, he vanished in othersâ sight.

No one on the scene expected to hear what Jeffrey had said - he had admitted that Stella was the biological daughter of the Steward family.
They wondered if Charlesâs announcement earlier still counted.
Why others kept guessing, Charles said, âFor what happened in the past, I felt so sorry and ashamed. If I could spend more effort to find Miranda and our daughter, things wouldnât have come to this end, and Stella wouldnât have suffered for so many years.â
Stella looked at him coldly, curling up her lips into a sneer.
Charles added, âI wonât go back on my word just now. I wonât break my promise. To make up to Stella, Iâll hand the whole Steward Group to her. She could do whatever she wants to it. From now on, Iâll never be involved in anything about Steward Group.â
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another uproar among the guests.
It turned out to be so different from what they had expected. The development of this matter turned quite abruptly.
When Charles was about to step off the stage, Stella said indifferently, âExcuse me, Mr. Steward. I have a question.â
Charles said, âStella, you should change the way to call me. If you have any questions, we can have a private talk. I also want to talk to you.â
Stella smiled, âNot necessarily. Letâs talk here. I believe all guests would also be curious about the thing I asked.â
Charles stood with a slight frown without a trace. Then he returned to normal, âGo ahead.â
âSince I vanished with my mother together that year, where was Ms. Phoebe Steward from? I was already seven that year. Mr. Steward, did you mistake her for me?â
