Chapter 682
Even After Death
An earth-shaking change had taken place in the Miller family. Darrell walked out of the study with
Edmund following him. He was as gleeful as they came.
Meanwhile, Janice was involved in the dramatic love triangle, and she couldnât get out of it.
Jessica was making a fuss again.
For the sake of his so-called chivalry, Kenneth gripped her hand and refused to let go. Janice grew
annoyed.
Janice slapped Kenneth viciously, making him stunned. After such a long time being apart,
Janice had gotten bold enough to slap him!
The movement provoked Jessica. As if protecting a child, Jessica dashed forward and began to
attack Janice.
The family was thrown into chaos. The ladies of the house were pulling each otherâs hair, and the
household staff didnât dare to take sides.
Only Sharon dashed forward straight away, throwing Jessica onto the floor. Jessica was in so
much pain that she started crying. The scene was in chaos.
Then, Darrell appeared. âAunt Janice, apologize to my mom.â
Janice was still tidying her hair, which Jessica had messed up. When she heard those words, she
slowly looked up at Darrell.
She didnât see Darrell often, and she still remembered him as a small child hiding behind Jessica.
She looked at Darrell, whose face looked a little like Ethanâs, but there was a vicious coldness to it.
Like his mother, he looked just like a venomous snake.
âApologize? Who does she think she is?â Janice patted her dress as she spoke in disdain.
Darrell pulled Jessica to his side and comforted her. Then, he turned to look at Janice. âAunt
Janice, you should be more self-aware. I admire your commitment to love, and I feel bad for you
too.
âYou could persist for so many years for someone who doesnât even like you. But then again â¦â
He changed the topic. âYou should have some shame. I donât want to be rude since youâre an elder,
1.2
âMy mom had been humiliated by people over the years, and now, itâs about time you realize your
position.â
Darrell was stepping over the line. Even Kenneth felt offended when he heard those words.
Kenneth spoke up, âDarrell, is this how you speak to your elders?â
Darrell smiled. âDad, you love my mom the most, donât you? So whatâs the matter? This woman has
bullied my mom for years, so I reprimanded her a little.
âBut are you pitying her now? Or have you just been faking your feelings for my mom?â
âKenny!â Jessica shouted.
Kenneth held Jessica in his arms, comforting her as he denied it. âNonsense. I just donât want
other people to think that our family lacks proper manners.â
âYouâre overthinking it, Dad. She has said even worse things to my mom. I was just giving her a
taste of her medicine. Moreover, Grandpa has already agreed to acknowledge me as part of the
Miller family.â
Kenneth knew Harold too well. Both Kenneth and Harold were stubborn men, and neither of them
would easily admit defeat.
Darrell had only gone to the study for a short while. What did he use to convince Harold?
âReally?â Kennethâs expression was filled with suspicion.
âOf course, Dad. If you donât believe me, you can ask Edmund about it. By the way, Mom, youâve
always wanted to move in, right? Go and pick out a room for yourself. We can move in by today.â
Kenneth was bewildered by the sudden change. He looked at Edmund. As expected, Edmund didnât
seem to deny it. By the looks of it, Darrell was telling the truth.
âW-We can move in for real?â
âYes.â Edmund nodded.
Janice frowned, wondering if Harold had softened his heart.
