Chapter 623
Ethan’s grandfather was strict with him, but the older man protected him well.
His grandfather didn’t tell him the truth, simply saying that Kenneth was busy with work, so he didn’thave the time to come
home.
At that time, the innocent Ethan believed that Kenneth was working to feed the family, not knowing thatKenneth actually
had a family out there.
While Ethan knew nothing about it, Darrell knew Ethan like the back of his hand.
Darrell and the other kids joined hands, smearing cake over Ethan’s face, arms, neck, and body.
Every part of Ethan’s body was dirty.
They laughed at him, and laughter jared into Ethan’s ears.
Still, he was unbothered by it as he stared at Kenneth in a daze.
Ethan thought that Kenneth would be in pain watching him getting bullied and carry him or stop the kidsfrom laughing.
However, Kenneth just stood over there indifferently like a passerby.
Darrell said the most hurtful thing with his angelic face,
“Ethan, you’re like your mother. You shouldn’t exist in this world. One day, I will steal everything fromyou because they are supposed to be mine.”
Ethan’s driver rushed over from afar to carry Ethan, who was covered in cream, away.
The car was slowly driven away.
Ethan saw his supposed father wiping the cream off Darrell’s fingers so carefully, as though Darrell wassomeone precious.
Ethan didn’t know what he had done wrong, why Kenneth wouldn’t acknowledge him as his son, andwhy he hated him so much.
That night, Kenneth didn’t return home to celebrate Ethan’s birthday.novelbin
Thinking that he could at least see his mother, Ethan cheered himself up.
Yet, before he could make a wish to blow the candles out, his emotionally unstable mother suddenlycarried him and ran to the balcony.
She jumped off from the balcony, and Ethan gazed at the starry sky.
Ethan recalled Darrell’s face when Kenneth let him ride on his shoulders.
Darrell told Ethan that he was going to steal everything from him, and Ethan wondered if Darrell neednot do so if he was dead.
That little boy’s face matched with the man, who was clad in a white suit. Despite his smooth and sleekclothing, he was using the most disgusting method possible.
Darrell bought off the senior management and shareholders one by one like a poisonous insect.
Everything that Kenneth gave him couldn’t satisfy him.
Kenneth had built up another company, which showed good development abroad. But its achievementcouldn’t be compared to Miller Group, which carried histories since over a century ago.
It wasn’t that Darrell’s family didn’t try to butter Ethan’s grandparents up these years. They actuallywanted to return to the family.
However, Ethan’s grandfather didn’t give in. “I don’t have a son like you, and that’s final. Ethan willinherit all of the assets.”
Ethan had caught on to the fact that Darrell was plotting something behind the scenes. But Darrellcovered his tracks well enough to make it difficult for Ethan to collect evidence.
This time, Darrell catastrophized Olivia’s incident, intending to gain something good out of this. Thatwas why he showed up.
Brazenly, Darrell seated himself in the main seat as though he was the true owner of Miller Group.
“It’s been a while, Ethan.” Darrell was wearing a dazzling smile like he always did when he was young,yet he could do the cruelest thing possible.
“Call the security guards to take out whoever is unrelated here,” ordered Ethan. He showed nointention to continue the courtesy.
Darrell assumed that his plan was so perfect that it had caught Ethan off-guard, hence the triumphantsmile. “Sorry, Ethan, but I’m attending this occasion as a shareholder.”
Ethan crossed his arms, looking at Darrell disdainfully. “So you do know that you’re a shareholder andnot the chairman. “I thought you’ve lost a screw in your head after not having seen each other for so
long.”
