From Illegitimate To A Zillionaire Heir CHAPTER 157
As everyone turned toward the door, the teacher's head snapped in the same direction, her eyes widening in surprise. Walking into the room was one hell of a fine man, and at that moment, she was certain she had just seen her soulmate.If he was here dressed as expensively as he was, he had to be here for Henry. As long as she put in a good word for Henry, she might have a chance to go out with him.She had no idea there was someone like that in the Hudson family. However, when she turned to look at the Hudsons, they had terrified expressions on their faces.That was definitely not the look one should have for someone who came to support them. Or so she thought—until he spoke.“What did you just say to my daughter?” he demanded, his icy voice sending shivers down her spine. “Did you just call her lowly?!”Without a second thought, Bianca hurried over to the man like it was something she did every day.“Daddy!”Daddy? The word made the teacher’s world come crashing down. She had thought

As soon as the words rolled out of Tedmond’s mouth, everyone’s eyes widened in shock. Bianca even had to look up at him, unsure if she had misheard.She had no idea that the school belonged to her family. If she had known, she would have taken control long ago and dealt with Henry herself.Silence filled the room until, after a few moments, the principal finally broke it.“Lame. How can you claim to be part of the Washington family?” the principal scoffed, rolling his eyes as he leaned back in his chair and folded his arms. “You’re just a fraud. Now that you’ve admitted it, you’d better apologize. I’m quite close to the Washington family, and if I tell them you tried to use their name, they won’t let you off.”He stared at Tedmond, expecting to see hesitation on his face. But Tedmond remained unfazed, his expression unreadable.“I should be saying that to you,” Tedmond responded. “I don’t recall knowing any baldy like you. If I did, I would’ve remembered. As the head of the Washingto

Mrs. Hudson turned to her husband, her eyes flashing with a silent plea for help. Even though she knew he couldn’t do anything, she still hoped he would try to support their son.“Bullying isn’t a trivial matter,” Mr. Hudson said, withdrawing his support from their son, making his wife’s eyes widen in shock. “Our son has committed a grave crime, and so have we. We are also to blame for not listening to what he had done before jumping to conclusions—”Tedmond tilted his head slightly, his hand raised to his chin, eyes widening softly.“You mean you had no idea he was bullying my daughter?” Tedmond demanded. “Didn’t she tell you? And didn’t you dismiss it as something trivial?”Mr. Hudson flinched. He had thought he could find a way to get himself and his family out of this situation, but it seemed there was no easy escape. Nothing had prepared him for the revelation that the girl they had allowed their son to bully was a member of the Washington family.“That was my fault. I apologize,

Hide Her!That was the only idea Hino could think of. They had seen Tedmond’s car pull up to the building, and they still hadn't figured out who the unknown woman in his room was.He knew how mad Tedmond would get, given that the woman had slept on his bed. Since he didn’t have a girlfriend, it would be obvious to Tedmond that Hino and Neil had brought the woman back and made her sleep there.‘That must not happen.’ Neil thought. The more he considered it, the more shivers ran down his spine."I’m not going to lose my job because of someone else’s mistake," Hino muttered, his eyes darting to Neil. ‘Neil must have brought the woman home and forgotten about it.’Their gaze shifted to the woman on the bed. They knew they had to act fast because Tedmond would surely walk into the room at any moment.“Where are we supposed to hide her?” Neil questioned, glancing around for a good hiding spot. “I don’t see anywhere. If we put her in the closet, he’ll walk in to grab a new set of clothes…”“

‘Is this a real date?’ Tedmond questioned himself as he descended the stairs. He had just showered and gotten ready to meet Persis downstairs. Ever since she mentioned the date, he couldn’t get it out of his head.In less than a minute, he was already at the bottom of the stairs. Persis' back was facing him, and he immediately noticed that her hair was brown now.“Are you using the identity of Sierra now?” he asked.Hearing his voice, she spun around to face him. Her deep red silk dress hugged her body, shimmering as she moved. Her hair was styled in soft waves, and sparkling earrings caught the light. Elegant heels and a high-end designer bag completed her look.Her eyes widened as she took him in. She was shocked to see him all dressed up—just because she had asked him out on a date. She had assumed he would wear something casual, forgetting to dress up entirely. That was why she had gone all out with her outfit—just in case she needed to send him back upstairs to change.But now, h

Upon arriving at the yacht, Tedmond noticed three men in suits standing beside it. They were bodyguards responsible for checking the guests' cards. Persis handed one of them a card. The man glanced at it before raising his head to look at her and Tedmond."You can go in. Access granted," one of the men said, stepping aside to let them pass.Persis retook Tedmond's arm inside the yacht and led him in. The interior was so cozy that Tedmond couldn't help but glance around. Soft golden lights reflected off the polished wooden floors, casting a warm glow over the elegantly decorated space. A slow jazz melody hummed in the background, blending with the gentle lapping of the waves against the vessel.Tedmond took in the setting—white linen-covered tables, a bar stocked with expensive liquor, and a few well-dressed guests engaged in hushed conversations. The air smelled of salt and luxury."Relax," Persis said with a smirk, settling into her chair. "This is supposed to be fun."Tedmond exhale

He didn’t even have the feeling that he had met them before. They weren’t familiar at all. They must have been insignificant for his brain not to retain any memory of them, or perhaps he had deliberately chosen to forget them."Who are they?" he asked Persis. "I can’t seem to remember meeting them before."Persis glanced at him, her lips curling into a grin. Thinking he was doing it on purpose, her grin widened even more.Before Tedmond could press further, the blue-haired woman’s face twisted into a frown."How dare you pretend not to recognize me?!" she snapped. "I’m an idol-in-training, and I’m pretty famous. Lots of young men know me. There’s no way you don’t!"Tedmond gave her a blank look. "I don’t do idols," he replied flatly. "And I don’t listen to them either. How am I supposed to know who you are? Especially when you're just in training—you’re not even a real idol."Her face darkened as she glared at him. "You must be so bored if you don’t listen to me sing."Tedmond returne

Upon hearing Persis tell Tedmond who she was, Tiana peered at them, the frown still glued to her face. She still didn’t believe that Tedmond didn’t know who she was.Back in university, she had bumped into him multiple times, yet he didn’t remember her at all.It wasn’t just that—she had been part of the entertainment group and performed at the university numerous times. How could he have not noticed her? He was faking it.“Before dropping out of school, she asked me to be friends with her,” Persis added. “I declined her offer because she didn’t actually want to be my friend—she wanted a slave who would do her assignments just because she asked.”Persis scoffed. “She was also a dummy who barely passed her exams. She even got suspended once for cheating.”Tiana’s eyes widened in shock. She hadn’t expected Persis to bring that up. It had been so long ago—why was she still holding onto it?“How could you say that about me?” Tiana demanded.“Isn’t it true?” Persis challenged, holding her

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
CHAPTER 236
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

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
CHAPTER 231
Max’s head snapped to the side from the force of the slap. A red handprint bloomed on his cheek, and his eyes flew wide with shock.Tedmond's brows lifted in surprise, his gaze settling on Max. Then, slowly, a satisfied smirk curled his lips.All he had to do was provoke Max into cursing him, and the slap would follow.He was a genius.Lisa, still stunned, immediately rose to her feet, her eyes darting to the source of the slap.“Who the hell is that bitch who dared to touch—” Her words cut off abruptly when she saw who it was. Her face instantly paled. “Grandmother…?”Hearing the word, Max’s head snapped toward the direction of the voice to confirm if it was truly her.There she stood, tall and imposing, a deep frown creasing her elegant face.Vivian Griffin. Max’s grandmother.“Oh—Grandmother!” Max quickly stood up, rubbing his cheek. “What did I do to deserve that slap?”Vivian's eyes darkened at his question.The look alone made Max take a step back. He didn’t understand what he h

“Is this supposed to be a restaurant?” Tedmond asked himself, his brows furrowing. The place looked old and dirty. The walls were cracked, and some parts were black from dirt. The sign above the door was broken. One of the letters didn’t light up, and the rest blinked like it could go off at any time.The front door was small and dusty. The wood looked weak, like it could break if someone pushed hard. A broken doorbell was hanging by the side, and it didn’t have a button. There were two trash bins near the door. One was open, and a bad smell came from it.Old posters were stuck on the wall, but they were ripped and dirty. The windows had marks all over them, and the blinds inside were hanging the wrong way. “What is this place?” he said, looking at his phone again to check the address.The address was the same as the one Max had sent him, indicating that he hadn’t gone to the wrong place. But no matter how much he thought about it, the place he was standing in front of wasn’t where
CHAPTER 229
Neil’s eyes darted to Tedmond, brows furrowing. Tedmond had told him to stick close to Max and make sure he didn’t go near Persis—but now Max was heading straight toward them, and Neil hadn’t even noticed until it was too late.“Tedmond is going to kill me,” Neil thought.He shot to his feet and rushed after Max, grabbing his hand. “Where are you going?” he asked, shaking his head in disbelief.Max glanced at Neil, then looked away. “You should go back to your seat, Alicia. I don’t want to trouble you too much.”Neil sighed and let him go. In three seconds, he was back in his seat while Max reached the table where Tedmond sat.Tedmond looked up as a shadow loomed over him, only to find Max standing there. Without a word, Max pulled out a chair and sat down next to Lisa like it was the most natural thing in the world. His expression wasn’t angry—just unreadable.Finn, still cleaning up the mess he made earlier while staff looked on, glanced up at the table. When he saw Max, a frown cre
