CHAPTER 110
From Illegitimate To A Zillionaire Heir/R. AUSTINNITE
“Okay?” Persis asked, her tone calm but curious, eager to see what Lisa was trying to pull next.Lisa smirked and turned her phone toward Persis. “You might think Tedmond is marrying you, but he’s been flirting with many girls at the university. The girl on the screen is one of them.”On the phone screen was a picture of Tedmond and Persis. It was from the day she had held Tedmond’s hand and led him to the cafeteria. Now, Lisa was twisting it against her?“I don’t mind if he’s close to other women,” Persis said, her voice unbothered. “Besides, the girl in that picture is no match for me. She isn’t even that pretty,” she added, slyly roasting herself. “Is that all you’ve got?”Lisa’s smirk grew. “She’s his current favorite,” she said mockingly. “It seems Tedmond hasn’t left his wild days behind. What do you say to that, Persis?”“That’s interesting,” Persis replied coolly. “But if you’re trying to convince me of something, Lisa, you’ll need more than a picture of Tedmond being polite.”

Evelyn couldn’t shake off the fact that Tedmond’s words might have made Persis think Harold and Maxine didn’t find her important enough to meet, and she wanted to clear the misunderstanding.“It’s not like that!” Evelyn said. “They had to go to the company to meet an important client. Since the contract involved a huge amount of money, they had no choice. But they’ll be here soon.”Persis looked at Evelyn, wondering why she was trying so hard to convince her. It wasn’t that important for the entire family to be present.“I don’t mind,” Persis replied. “They have important business to attend to. It’s not a must for them to be here.”Evelyn flinched, clearly not expecting that response, but she kept her composure. “Let’s wait a little while. They’ll be here soon.”Maxine nodded in support of his mother’s words. Evelyn had asked him to ensure Tedmond’s baby mama stayed if the business meeting took too long.“They’ll be here soon. My little sister has been eager to meet you for a long tim

When Maxine and Harold finally arrived home, it was 10 PM. The company had let them go since the lawyer arrived at 9 PM. The discussion hadn’t been long, so they were able to return an hour later.Both wore frowns; it had been a long day. Not only had they lost face at the company in front of a rival, but they were also unable to meet with Tedmond’s baby mama.Worse, they weren’t even sure if they could secure the contract anymore.Entering the Griffin mansion, Harold and Maxine were greeted by the sight of Lisa, Max, and Evelyn waiting in the living room.Without explaining, Maxine headed straight upstairs, her gaze downcast. “I’m going to bed. The maid can leave my food at the door. No one should bother me,” she said curtly.Max and Evelyn exchanged confused looks as she left.“What’s wrong with her?” Evelyn asked Harold. “She didn’t look like that when you left. Did something happen at the company?”Harold sank into a seat beside them and recounted everything that had transpired. B

“I can’t believe this happened in just a few hours!” Max yelled, grinning from ear to ear as he looked at his phone.He was on Kenstagram, scrolling through the flood of comments. He hadn’t posted the rumor himself, so it would be hard for anyone to trace it back to him.“I had no idea it would blow up that fast, too,” Evelyn said, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “As long as everyone isn’t on their side, we will get that contract.”They were in Max's bedroom, sitting in front of his monitor. Lisa was lying on the bed.“You did a great job, Max,” Harold said.Max shook his head. “Lisa was the one who edited the images. I had no idea she was that talented until she asked me to do it.”Evelyn grinned and placed her hand on Max’s shoulder. “That's great. At least she’s not useless in situations like this. You did a great job marrying her.”Harold nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Now that the rumors have spread, we need to go pay the compensation money to the company.”Evelyn sighed.

Thomas nodded. “Right!”Seeing that they would be busy, Bianca sighed. “Could you send me to Persis’ place?” she asked.“Okay,” Tedmond agreed.*****“Have you found a lead yet?” Duncan asked his secretary.The secretary shook his head. “Not yet. Were you able to contact Xinca too?”Duncan shook his head. “I sent a staff member to meet with them, but he hasn’t arrived yet. If he had met with them, he would have contacted me.”The secretary sighed. “What are we going to do now that the source of the rumor hasn’t been found?”“We’ll just have to make sure to convince Xinca that it was all a rumor, and at the same time, find the source. All that matters first is Xinca, and then we’ll have to settle the rumors.”“Do you think it was made up by someone? We didn’t offend anyone, did we?”Duncan shook his head, placing his hand on the table. “We didn’t. GNN never offends anyone.”“Then who would spread such nasty rumors about us?”Duncan thought about it, and then it hit him. His eyes widene

“Can I get her name?” Harold questioned. “She is the same age as my granddaughter; they could be friends.”Hearing that, Tedmond frowned. The two girls were the same person, and he was trying to get them to be friends with each other. That was the worst thing he had heard all day.“Don’t cross the boundaries, Mr. Griffin,” Tedmond replied, peering at Harold. “Why are you here?”Harold wasn’t shocked by Tedmond’s words—he had been expecting it. After all, he hadn’t paid the compensation or regained trust between them, but that didn’t bother him much. GNN was in crisis, and Griffin’s Cooperation would be the one to be picked no matter what.“I’m here to pay the compensation fee and apologize again for my family’s behavior,” Harold answered.“I thought I told Ms. Fincall to give you the account number to which the money should be transferred. Did you lose it?”Harold flinched. Was it that obvious he had thrown the account number away to have an excuse to meet the president in person?“I

The question was one that Duncan had been waiting for. He had thought about what to do and had come across an idea that might help him. He wasn’t sure if it would work, but he knew he had to try.“I would like you to give us the background research documents you have about us,” Duncan said.Silence ensued between them. Tedmond’s gaze fixed on Duncan, who met his eyes without blinking. They stared at each other for a long time. Tedmond hadn’t expected Duncan to ask for background research about his own company.“Why would you need that?” Tedmond questioned. “Do you think it will help clear your name?”Duncan didn’t elaborate. “I’m not going to mention your name or the name of the company when I release the file. I just want to release the details of my company so people can see and judge for themselves.”“Who would release it?” Tedmond pressed, his curiosity rising. “If you release it yourself, it will look fake, like you did it intentionally to clear your name.”“I would have one of t

Hearing his father’s words, Tedmond's smile dissipated, but then the grin returned to his face. “What did you say?”Guessing their father’s intentions, the others joined in. Harold had just gotten an idea: if he could convince Tedmond to make his baby mama invest in their struggling company for a fake project, they could get the hundred million back.“There’s a project going on, and we need investors to fund it,” Max added, his face serious. “It’s a big project, and the investment required will be substantial.”“That’s right. Your baby mama will be part of the family too. It would be great for her to help us,” Maxine continued.Evelyn even went as far as holding Tedmond’s hand—something she had only done when she was about to hit him as a child.“You’ll have the right to return to the family as long as you agree to help us with the investment,” Evelyn muttered. “You’re my son, after all, and it makes me sad that you were kicked out.”Tedmond was taken aback. He had guessed they might

When Max got upstairs, Tedmond was nowhere to be seen. He searched the guest room, but Tedmond wasn’t there. He decided to check all the other rooms, yet Tedmond was still missing.The last place he hadn’t checked was his own room—and Lisa’s. Turning around, he headed toward the room, his heart pounding against his chest. As he approached the door, he paused. The room was silent, which made him hesitate.‘If Tedmond isn’t in the other rooms, could he be with Lisa?’ he wondered, before reaching for the door. He must not be over her yet.Oddly, the thought of Tedmond being with Lisa made him smile. If that were the case, it would make getting the necklace from him much easier.Opening the door softly, Max peeked inside, only to see Lisa standing there, staring directly at him.“What are you doing?” she asked, her brows arching in confusion.Max straightened up and pushed the door open fully. Without a word, he brushed past her and began searching the room. He checked everywhere—even the

Tedmond made his way downstairs, heading to the one place he knew Max would be. He could tell that if Max met the others there, they would side with him since Tedmond wasn’t in sight.As he approached the kitchen, he heard voices. It was his stepmother and ex-father, speaking so quietly that he couldn’t make out their words.“I can’t believe I have to cook for that brat!” Evelyn cursed loudly, making the maid at the end of the kitchen flinch and frown as she hurriedly cut the fish. “He’s the son of you and that useless maid, and now I have to be a maid to him!”Harold glanced at her, concern etched on his face. “You should be more worried about that,” he said, taking the knife from her and helping cut the fish. “It’s good his mother isn’t around. It’ll be easier to control him once we get custody of his daughter.”Evelyn frowned at his words. “How are we supposed to get custody? Tedmond’s never brought her home before. That means he doesn’t have custody either—it must be with his baby
