From Illegitimate To A Zillionaire Heir CHAPTER 87
The race arena buzzed with excitement, engines roaring and chatter filling the air. The professional-grade track on the city's outskirts featured sharp turns, treacherous curves, and a long stretch for speed enthusiasts—a fitting stage for the showdown.Spectators packed the sidelines, some on elevated platforms, others leaning over barriers with phones ready to capture the action.Under the glare of floodlights, two identical sports cars gleamed—sleek, custom-detailed machines chosen by Linn to ensure his edge. Their engines growled, radiating power and daring the racers to conquer them.Reporters clustered near the starting line, their lenses fixed on Linn and Tedmond.Linn, in a flashy racing jacket and cap, basked in the crowd’s adoration. He strutted around his car, his grin wide as he exchanged words with fans and took jabs at Tedmond.Tedmond, in contrast, stood calm and composed in a simple black shirt and jeans. His steady gaze and relaxed demeanor exuded quiet confidence, dr

Kanis glanced at Tedmond and noticed the way he moved the steering wheel. His blood ran cold. “Did he mess with the steering too?”“That’s what you get for playing dirty,” Linn muttered to himself, slamming on the accelerator. His car sped forward, the damaged tire barely holding up.Meanwhile, Tedmond’s makeshift fix began to stabilize the car slightly, but the strain was evident. Sweat trickled down his forehead as he focused on keeping the vehicle on course.Kanis, gripping the door handle tightly, glanced back at Linn’s car. “He’s catching up! At this rate, we’re doomed!”Tedmond smirked despite the chaos. “Not yet. We still have a chance. As long as I’m behind the wheel, he can’t cheat, nor can he win.”Reaching into his jacket pocket, Tedmond pulled out a small device and pressed a button.Behind them, a tiny compartment on their car opened, releasing an oil slick onto the track. Linn, unable to react in time, skidded out of control, his car spinning wildly before slamming into

“I will make sure you regret this, kid,” Linn said, making sure to repeat it loud enough for Tedmond to hear. “Not only did you make a fool out of me in front of everyone, but you also made it so embarrassing.”Tedmond’s brows arched, and a slow grin spread across his face as he leaned closer, ensuring only Linn could hear him. “Didn’t you say I couldn’t win?” he asked, his voice taunting. “You even messed with my brakes and steering. Aren’t you shameless, blaming me for your failure?”Hearing Tedmond’s words, Linn’s annoyance was evident in the rhythmic twitch of his brows. “How dare you talk to me like that? You’re nothing but a cleaner. How dare you call me shameless?!”Tedmond’s grin widened, satisfied with Linn’s reaction. “Isn’t what I’m saying true?” he pressed. “You forced me into this race, even though I’m not a racer. You sabotaged my car, had tons of cheat sheets—and still lost.” Leaning closer, he whispered, “Isn’t that enough reason to call you shameless?”“You!” Linn yel

Hearing the amount of money almost drove Linn insane. He had agreed to the bet because he was confident a driver like Tedmond wouldn’t be able to afford such an amount.He hadn’t considered losing or the possibility of having to pay up. Regret flashed across his face—if only he had thought about failure, he would never have agreed to such a reckless bet.He had accepted the terms because if Tedmond lost and couldn’t pay, Linn could offer him a job as a slave to work off his debt. But now, it seemed he might be the one facing humiliation.His net worth wasn’t close to covering the amount, and there was no way his family would support him, given how much they despised his delinquent behavior.“Five hundred million?” Linn asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. “That’s a lot of money.”“Walking around naked, it is, right?” Tedmond replied, his gaze steady and unyielding.Flinching, Linn shook his head, realizing he had no choice but to pay. It was better to lose money than endure the hum

On the sheet of paper was his father's handwriting, unmistakable after years of seeing it. Tedmond remembered it well, as his father had often refused to speak to him directly, claiming he hated his voice. Instead, he would issue orders through letters like this one.Back in middle school, Tedmond had been glad to receive such letters—it was better than being forgotten altogether. But by the time he reached high school, he understood the real reason behind them. His father wanted to condition him to accept communication only through writing and stop speaking entirely.Realizing this, Tedmond had rebelled. He tossed away all the letters he had stored in his drawers and never responded to another one, just to spite his father. It worked. His father stopped sending letters altogether.Now, standing with this letter in hand, he realized his father was trying the same tactic again—this time on Bianca. He was attempting to silence her from speaking about what had happened. Furious, Tedmond

“I am afraid so, young master,” Thomas replied, his gaze serious, devoid of pity. “We have no choice but to buy it.”Tedmond frowned at Thomas. “Didn’t you just say it’s a failing company? You want me to buy a failing company?”Thomas nodded vaguely. “That’s right, young master. The Washington family has tons of properties, so it wouldn’t be a problem if the company ended up failing. However, I have a great eye for good opportunities, and since the company is going bankrupt, we can buy it at almost half the price.”Hearing that, Tedmond thought for a moment. The Washington family had numerous businesses that could help this one stand and grow without issues. But there was no way he would give the company a cheat sheet. He wanted to see if he could develop a company without relying on an already established one.“Fine,” he replied. “I’ll buy the company.”As if waiting for that answer, Thomas broke into an excited smile. “I knew you would listen to me, young master!”Thomas looked as i

“I saw the race!” a male student exclaimed as he approached Tedmond the moment he stepped into the cafeteria. “You’re all over the sports channel, dude! I can't believe I’m in the same school as you!”“For you to win a race against a professional racer is dope!” another male student chimed in. “Now that you’ve beaten Linn, are you planning to go into racing?”Tedmond was taken aback by their sudden friendliness. He’d heard murmurs about the race earlier, but this was the first time anyone had approached him directly about it, especially the guys.“How was it?” a third student inquired. “Beating a professional like that—must’ve felt great, right?”As the three initiated the conversation, others around them grew bolder and hurried over to join in. It was only then that Tedmond understood why so many had been gesturing at him earlier as he walked past.His brows furrowed. How could he have forgotten something this significant? He was still a student and had classes to attend. Drawing so

“That bitch!” Lisa cursed, her brows twitching in anger as she kicked the wall of the ladies' restroom. “She’s always treating me like shit!”She bit her lip so hard it broke, and blood dripped from the wound. Frowning, she wiped the blood away and walked over to the mirror, glaring at her reflection. Unlike before, when her face was blank, annoyance now etched her features.“Does she think she’s the one who married me? Her brother did, not her! Why is she acting like an annoying mother-in-law?!” she screamed. “I even got married early just to secure that position, but she’s trying to back me into a corner!”Lisa couldn’t even scream anymore. Before the marriage, she had helped them spy on Tedmond, reporting his daily tasks and whereabouts. They should at least be grateful to her.Maxine’s words echoed in her mind, making her blood boil. Frustrated, Lisa slammed her head against the mirror in a desperate attempt to silence her thoughts. The result was a cracked mirror and blood trickl

“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

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
