Even After Death

Chapter 703

The way Darrell said that Ethan was no longer around prompted Kenneth to look at him sideways.

"What did you say?" “Ethan was involved in an explosion, Dad.

He's been missing till this day.

He may have already passed away," Darrell said the most hurtful words with the gentlest tone.

It left everyone dumbstruck.

Even though Ethan spent many years building up his career in Allandia, no one could doubt his identityand capability.

If Ethan was dead, Darrell would be the heir of the family! It was no wonder Harold was willing to letDarrell and Jessica return.

That was the exact reason! Kenneth had heard of the rumors, but he simply deemed them asnonsensical stories made up by someone up to no good.

He wouldn't believe that Ethan would pass away all of a sudden.

Kenneth felt uneasy after hearing what Darrell said.

"There's no irrefutable evidence for that.

Why would you say that?" "Dad, you've heard of the news of the exploded abandoned factory a fewdays ago.

Do you think he could survive such a powerful explosion?" Darrell questioned back.

Kenneth went silent for a while, his expression cold.

Meanwhile, Harold had slowly recollected himself thanks to Janice's comfort.

He reseated himself on his wheelchair and calmly looked at Darrell and Jessica.

"Enough.

Apologize to Olivia.

Let's put an end to this matter." Darrell narrowed his eyes, wondering why things weren't goingaccording to his plan.

Jessica grumbled, "Dad, Liv was the one who splashed water at Darrell.

Why should he apologize?" “Why should he apologize? Because I know how kind and bright of aperson she is after spending some time with her.

And I know how evil your son is too!" Harold exclaimed.novelbin

After getting used to wielding her power at home these days, Jessica thought that the Millers wereunder their control.

She couldn't put up with how Harold reprimanded Darrell right in front of so many people.

"Dad, I know that you have always looked down upon me because of my family background, thinkingthat I don't deserve Kenneth.

But we're genuinely in love.

“The past long years have proven that this is a fact as well.

It wasn't easy for us to build up our careers all these years.

Why do you have such a biased opinion of us? What did we do wrong?" Jessica cried.

It put Harold in the limelight, making the spectators think that he was a cruel father.

“Mr. Harold, what is there that you can't get over with after so many years? A forced marriage isn'tcommon nowadays." "I know, right? I would've been grateful if my son was as devoted as Kenneth.""There's never a happy ending when the process is a forceful one.

So why? Darrell's your biological grandson.

Don't take it so far." The other people joined the gushing, criticizing Harold for being cruel.

"Enough talking?" Harold pointed at Jessica.

"Do you think that you're innocent after wrecking someone's family? You plotted so many schemes justto ruin a family.

I've never looked down on anyone poor, but I do look down on someone who's poor and could stoopthis low." Jessica held her hand on her chest, pretending to be hurt.

Harold didn't even humiliate her like this that year.

"Don't cross the line, Dad.

Jessi is my wife." Kenneth still stood up for Jessica.

But Harold found it a waste of time to debate with him, so he simply wore an indifferent expression.

"Your wife? Very well, let me show you what kind of person your wife is.

"I was going to tolerate it considering that today was a happy occasion, but they've taken advantage ofit and ruined my birthday.

Now that I'm upset, don't think that you can get away with this!"
