From Illegitimate To A Zillionaire Heir CHAPTER 124
Tedmond glared at them, his eyes dark. He wanted to retaliate and yell at them for trying to control him, but he paused when Bianca tugged at his shirt, making him glance down at her.Tedmond had tried to leave to avoid bringing Bianca into a confrontation between him and Finn. She was still a kid, after all, and he didn’t want her to get used to such things.“Dad,” she said firmly, her voice clear, “we were here first.” She turned to face the group, her head held high. “This table belongs to us.”Peering at her, he sighed. She had a point, but it didn’t matter at the moment. Finn was here to cause trouble, and he didn’t want to engage.Finn raised an eyebrow, amused. “A kid is telling me what to do? Cute.”Bianca didn’t flinch. “Cute is what I call puppies. You’re not even close.”The triplets exchanged startled looks. One of them, Carlos, barked out a laugh. “Did this little brat just insult us?”“She’s not wrong,” Tedmond muttered under his breath, earning a wide grin from Bianca.
From Illegitimate To A Zillionaire Heir CHAPTER 125
Carlos' voice was so loud that it caught the attention of nearby tables. The people seated there turned their heads, frowns forming on their faces.“They’re being too loud.”“I heard one of them couldn’t afford the things he was about to order.”“Why don’t they go to a cheaper restaurant?”“Was he trying to impress his friends, and now they’ve found out he’s been lying all along?”The other customers grew curious about the commotion, and Carlos grinned from ear to ear. He had drawn the attention he wanted. Now, it was time for him to show what he was capable of.“Excuse me,” the waiter said as politely as possible. “You weren’t the one who made the order. How can you be so sure the person who did can’t afford it? From what I saw at the counter, you all came separately and didn’t arrive at the same time.”Carlos was taken aback, his eyes widening in shock as he glanced at the waiter. “Did you just refuse to take the food back as I instructed you to?”The waiter nodded. “I apologize, bu

Eyes twitching in anger, Tedmond couldn’t even be surprised by their behavior and the way they took Finn’s side. It was like they believed anything Finn said and would do anything to help him get what he wanted.“What did I do to you that made you want to throw me out for no reason?” Tedmond asked, trying to buy himself time.“What do you expect?” Carlos questioned. “You tried to harm Finn, and you have to be dealt with. The fact that Finn is trying to care for you is already annoying enough, and you dare to ignore his help. How dare you?!”The two of the triplets glared at Tedmond the same way, and he could tell that they had a good relationship with Finn, one that might appear to be toxic.“I said I didn’t need his fake help,” Tedmond began, not holding back. “Finn is only using you three to get what he wants.”The triplet went silent for a while before bursting into laughter.“You have to be smart to try to fool us,” Carlos told Tedmond. “You think telling us that will make us ditc

“So lame! Why are you trying so hard to act brave?” Finn questioned, now taking the lead to send out the insults. “What can you do with that phone call of yours? You must be calling who now?”“Haha,” Carlos laughed. “I’m sure he doesn’t even have anyone to call and is only pretending.”“Let’s see what he can do. It must be great to watch his stupid escape plan fail,” Carles added.At that moment, Tedmond dialed Thomas’s number, and he picked up immediately.“Yes, young master?” Thomas said, his tone serious. “Do you need me to do anything?”“Yes. There’s something I would like you to do,” Tedmond began, his words drawing the attention of the triplets, who had gone silent to hear him talk to the person he claimed to be talking to. “I want you to contact Mr. Ginny and ask him to apologize on his son’s behalf for ruining my dinner with Bianca.”The triplets and everyone listening were stunned by his words.“He must be here before ten minutes are up, or he will regret being late,” Tedmond

Tedmond stood still, his expression calm, as everyone kept staring at the door. A few moments passed, and murmurs began to ripple through the crowd.“He’s bluffing.”“I told you it was fake.”“Such a loser. How embarrassing.”“He acted so tough and sure that Mr. Ginny would show up.”“That’s why you have to be realistic when dealing with things,” a woman said, flashing her newly done nails. “How can a loser like him actually get Mr. Ginny here? He is just rude nonsense!”“Yes! Look at him acting all arrogant and perfect when it was all fake.”The crowd looked at him, disgust settling in their eyes. Some of them had anticipated that there was no way Mr. Ginny would show up just because of a kid’s call, but a few had hoped to be surprised and actually see Mr. Ginny appear.However, Tedmond had not only wasted their time, but he had also made them regret even thinking he could pull it off.Carlos smirked and folded his arms. “Well, Tedmond, what do you have to say for yourself now? Time’

The triplets raised their heads to look at Tedmond. For a moment, they thought he might have been the one behind it, but they snapped out of that thought almost immediately.The way Tedmond was looking at them made them uneasy. It was as if he couldn’t wait for them to answer the call.‘Ahh, there’s no way that loser did something,’ Carles thought, his eyes trailing from Tedmond to his phone. ‘It must be a coincidence.’‘I’m thinking way too much,’ Carlos muttered, raising his hand with the phone in it.“I’ll put the phone on speaker to show that it’s just a coincidence the modeling company called!” Carlos announced, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. “This will prove that he’s just bluffing!”Tedmond glanced down at Bianca, who was grinning from ear to ear. Just looking at her made the smirk leave his face.She looked even more excited than he did, which made him feel awkward that she found this more entertaining than he did.“We don’t need evidence to know he’s bluffing!” s

The triplets fell silent the moment Mr. Ginny finished yelling. Finn gulped, his hands trembling as he avoided everyone's gaze, not wanting to be reminded that he was the one who decided to mess with Tedmond, while the twins were merely supporting him.“Mr. Ginny is so terrifying,” Bianca mumbled to Tedmond.Tedmond glanced down at Bianca. “Perhaps he’s finally snapped at them.”Mr. Ginny shifted his gaze to Tedmond. “How about we discuss what you really want in private?” he suggested. “I don’t know the full story of what happened, but I have an idea of what it was. I’d like to offer some compensation.”With that, he pulled out a black card and held it out to Tedmond. “You said I should compensate you for my son’s behavior by paying for your dinner, but I arrived later than you expected, causing me to lose the contract—one of the most important in my company.”Sweat trickled down Mr. Ginny’s face. Although he sounded composed, he was trembling inside. Another mistake could mean the de

The manager, who had tried to gain favor with everyone, clasped his hands together in frustration. Not only had he failed to curry favor with the Ginny family, but he had also diminished the goodwill he might have earned from Tedmond."The triplets are ready to apologize," Mr. Ginny informed Tedmond. "Look, they’re heading over now."The triplets exchanged a glance with their father before reluctantly stepping forward. After all, Tedmond had promised to return the contract to them if they apologized."We’re sorry for insulting you," Carlos said, trying to sound sincere. "We made a grave mistake. Could you please forgive us?""Please," Carles added. "We’ll make sure this never happens again. We won’t get in your way or show our faces to you anymore.""That’s right," Carly chimed in. "We’re deeply sorry for the terrible things we said and for trying to embarrass you in front of everyone, even when you were trying to ignore us."Tedmond scrutinized them carefully. So far, they hadn’t men

“You’re an illegitimate child,” Richard sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. “No matter what, you’d have to donate your blood anyway. It’s not like you have a choice. Don’t act like you’re doing us a favor.”Gerald added, “Yeah, Ottis is in trouble because of you. It’s time you stepped up.”“It's something that you must do,” Tina added, her grin widening since the others were taking her side. “The illegitimate child has to support the legitimate children.”Nodding her head, Evelyn liked how things were going. She even wished that Tedmond could donate his blood so that he would lose tons of blood. It reminded her of the time in the past when she had taken a certain person's blood for no valid reason.The mere thought of it brought a sinister smile on her face.“You know it is the right thing to do, right?” Evelyn said. “Ottis is in critical condition, and you have to donate the blood to him.”Harold remained silent, watching the exchange unfold. He wanted to see how Tedmond would
CHAPTER 239
At the same time, Tedmond was led into the doctor’s office by a nurse. She held the door open, nodded politely, and left without a word.He narrowed his eyes as she walked away. Odd. No greeting, no explanation. Just silence.Before he could dwell on it, a voice snapped him back.“You’re here, Mr. Tedmond,” the head doctor said, glancing up from a file.Tedmond gave a small nod.“Have a seat,” the doctor said, gesturing to the chair across his desk.Tedmond sat, posture relaxed but gaze sharp. He didn’t like surprise meetings, especially not from anyone connected to the Griffins.If Thomas had known the doctor would call him, he would’ve warned him. The silence meant one thing—this was orchestrated by the Griffins.“This isn’t just a friendly chat,” Tedmond said dryly. “What do you want?”The doctor offered a faint smile. “It’s about Ottis.”Tedmond waited.“You’re listed as one of the emergency blood matches in our system, based on an old check-up. You’re one of the few who can safel
CHAPTER 238
While other things were going on, Tedmond stood outside the hospital with one hand in his pocket. He considered heading back home since he had nothing to do at the hospital.However, on second thought, he changed his mind.He was certain his men had beaten up Ottis, but not so severely that it would require a blood transfusion.'Ottis must have done something else to make himself bleed that much.' Tedmond thought.He couldn’t help but wonder if Ottis had intentionally worsened his injuries to get back at him.Pulling out his phone, Tedmond dialed Thomas’s number. Since he didn’t have the bodyguards’ contacts, he couldn’t reach them directly. If he’d known he’d need to contact them again, he would’ve gotten their numbers. But now, it was too late.“Young master,” Thomas answered on the second ring.“Did you see the report from the bodyguards?” Tedmond asked, his voice low and calm.“Yes, young master. I was about to contact you—something seems off. According to the report, Ottis only s
CHAPTER 237
In the hospital ward where Vivian and Adeline sat, the beeping of machines provided the only rhythm in the heavy silence.The faint scent of antiseptic lingered in the air—sharp and cold.Vivian sat hunched at the edge of her seat, her hands clenched tightly in her lap. Her gray hair, once neatly tied back, had begun to come loose, with strands falling messily around her temples.Her eyes were red—not from crying, but from sheer exhaustion.Adeline paced near the window, arms folded tightly across her chest. Outside, the sun shone brightly, and she could see people moving about—some in wheelchairs, others deep in conversation with family members.The hallway beyond the door was quiet, save for the occasional shuffle of nurses’ shoes or the distant echo of a cough.Adeline had just told Vivian about Ottis’s current condition. Hearing that her grandson was in danger made Vivian panic.Her memory might not have been the sharpest, but she still felt pity for him.For him to be beaten that

The sound of approaching footsteps caught his attention, and he turned his head toward the noise. There, he saw Tina storming toward him, a scowl darkening her face.Before he could process what was happening, she grabbed him by the collar and yanked him down to her height, her hand raised threateningly.“I asked you a question! How dare you ignore me?” she snapped, swinging her hand toward his face.But before she could land the slap, Tedmond caught her wrist mid-air. He hadn’t expected the attack, but there was no way he’d let her hit him—not anymore.He wasn’t the same person who used to stand still and take it.“What the hell is this supposed to be?” Tedmond demanded, a deep frown forming on his face."You—!" Her scowl deepened. “How dare you grab my hand? Do you have a death wish or something?!”“Death wish?” he echoed with a bitter chuckle. “No. I’ve just finally learned to stop letting people treat me like trash.”Tina’s eyes widened, taken aback by the calm defiance in his voi
CHAPTER 235
Max crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, glaring at Tedmond from the side. None of them could believe that Vivian was the same woman—they could tell she now cared about little things she never used to bother with.Adeline’s fist clenched. Ottis had told her everything that happened, and she wasn’t about to let Tedmond off the hook. But first, she needed to make sure Ottis got the blood he needed to recover. She could come back for Tedmond later.“Let’s go, Mother,” Adeline said, holding Vivian’s hand. “The doctor's office is over there. Let's get you tested.”Vivian nodded. “Alright. Let’s go.”As Adeline and Vivian headed off, Adeline turned around to give the others a subtle sign. A grin spread across her face when they nodded in response.They had understood her signal. Once she took the old lady away, Tedmond would be alone—and they could teach him a lesson.Tedmond, who had been watching, noticed Adeline’s signal. A sly grin tugged at his lips.‘I can’t wait to see wh
CHAPTER 234
Hearing that question was enough to make Max boil with anger. He knew Tedmond was taking advantage of their grandmother’s favoritism, but he hadn’t expected it to go this far.Max’s lips parted, ready to retort, but before he could get a word out, Vivian cut him off.“There’s no need to argue. Like Tedmond said, he’s your little brother, and you have to take care of him,” she said. “Instead of letting him drive, you’ll drive.”That was when Max remembered this had happened before—only back then, he had been the one in the backseat while Tedmond was asked to drive.Biting his lip until it bled, Max couldn’t hide his frustration. Now the roles were reversed, and he was the one being asked to drive.As far as Max could recall, his grandmother had always treated him better than anyone else in the family. It had always felt natural for her to take his side. But now that her attention had shifted to Tedmond, it seemed like she no longer cared about him.‘I’m not going to accept this,’ Max t
CHAPTER 233
Tedmond had seen Max angry before, but never this angry. This was the first time Max had yelled so much that he didn’t let anyone else speak.‘Was it because Grandma said she was going to give me the heir position?’ he wondered.“You think you’re better than me?” Max seethed. “You think you can just smile and pretend you’re the good guy? You’re not. You’re a snake. A bastard. A nobody trying to take my place.”Max took another step forward, now just inches from Tedmond’s face.“If you think I’m going to let this go… you’re dead wrong,” he said in a low, venomous tone. “You better watch your back, because I swear—I’ll make you regret ever stepping into this family.”Vivian, who was standing beside them, glared at Max, furious that he was saying things completely against her wishes.“That’s enough, Max!” Vivian scolded. “Go back to where you were standing.”Max whipped his head toward her, eyes bloodshot. “No! You don’t get to silence me! You started this—you betrayed me! Don’t expect m
CHAPTER 232
Silence filled the room. No one had expected the grandmother to offer the position of heir to Tedmond so casually—just a few words, and everything changed.Max’s eyes widened in disbelief, his face draining of color. He knew his grandmother suffered from amnesia, but he hadn’t imagined she’d go this far—handing over his rightful place to someone like Tedmond.Not only was she willing to give away everything he had worked for, she was also casting aside her own grandson.Lisa was just as stunned, her mouth hanging open. She had never imagined this would be how Max lost everything.“You can’t do that, Grandma!” Max suddenly shouted, rising from his seat. His face was livid. “How could you give my position to him like that?!”Even Tedmond, the man at the center of it all, looked taken aback. He blinked, his lips parting slightly. Sure, he knew Grandma Vivian liked him now—thanks to the amnesia—but he hadn’t expected this. Not in a million years.“That’s right!” Lisa added quickly, standi
