For the next few minutes after the Mitch Jewelry company left, the Edward family engaged in different arguments. Madam Ivy was restless as usual; she couldn't believe she had planned and succeeded in stalking Luca at the airport, but he ended up sending a gift in. She sat there, putting up a smiley face, but deep down, she was boiling with rage. She couldn't wait to be out of the cameras so she could vent out her heart.Meanwhile, Jacob sat at the edge of his chair, his eyes glued to his phone. Jacob's eyes scanned his phone, his jaw clenched in anger. He couldn't believe Luca had pulled this off, sending such extravagant gifts to the Edward family. He hadn't met him physically, but he already hated his tricks. He had been so sure he had the upper hand, but now it seemed Luca had outmaneuvered him and sent in his gifts at the last minute, which just secured his marriage with Sara again.Avery, sitting beside him, seethed with anger, her eyes flashing with resentment. She couldn't belie
When Sara finally got into her room, she met Luca asleep on the bed. She propelled herself forward and asked her assistant to close the door and leave. She didn't want to disturb his sleep, so she just propelled her wheelchair to the balcony. Her assistant served her wine.Thirty minutes into drinking the wine, she checked the time, and it was past six.She breathed in and leaned back in her wheelchair. The thoughts of Jacob coming back to the family began to flood her mind again. Out of all her sisters, she knew deep down why Jacob wanted to come back. Everyone except Madam Ivy was taking it lightly. In truth, no one saw him as a threat to the inheritance, besides he is not an Edward!But to Sara, she knows things can take a different turn, and her Grandfather might decide to adopt him despite him already being an adult. She shook her head, disapproving of her own thoughts... "That can't happen; Grandpa won't do such a thing," she assured herself.However, Luca finally winced his eye
At the Edward family Private Villa. It was around 7:23 pm when Luca pushed his wife, Sara, out of the room and started to head to the dinner table. Meanwhile, at the dining table were Madam Ivy, her husband, the other four princesses of the Edward family, some of their cousins, nephews, and nieces, and Avery. As usual, Luca and Sara were always the last ones to come out.The air was filled with excitement and happiness as congratulations started to pour in like water.The two celebrants sat next to each other, holding hands and exchanging smiles like teenagers."Where is Sara?" Avery broke the silence. "We can't keep waiting for one person, we should start eating if she isn't joining us."Grandpa quickly cautioned her. "No, Avery! Sara should be on her way. This is a family dinner, and everyone should be present."Just as Grandpa finished speaking, Madam Ivy chimed in, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Yes, where is Sara? Probably still waiting for her broke husband."The room
Madam Ivy felt like she had been punched in her gut and dared to do her worst! The woman standing right in front of her was Miss Olivia, Jacob's mother and her former nanny.Miss Olivia stood tall at 5'7" with a commanding presence that demanded attention.Her physique was slender yet curvaceous, with a voluptuous figure that was accentuated by her fitted designer dress.The dress, a stunning red Valentino gown, hugged her curves in all the right places, showcasing her toned physique.The fabric seemed to shimmer and shine in the light, exuding an air of opulence and sophistication that made almost everyone admire her dress.Her long, raven-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night, with subtle waves that added to her glamour. Her eyes sparkled with enough boldness to make Madam Ivy mad.Her thick lashes seemed to flutter with every blink, followed by a carefree chew of the gum in her mouth.Her skin was a radiant, porcelain-like complexion, with a subtle sheen that
Grandpa chimed in. "Why don't we all enjoy the meal as one family, and after dinner she can say whatever she wants to say?""No, Bruce, that is never happening!" She declined. "I would never sit at the same table to have dinner with a whore!""If she really has anything to say, then she should go on and say whatever she wanted to say, or she could as well use the door. Who the hell even let her in in the first place?"While Madam Ivy was crashing out about Miss Olivia's presence, she was busy looking at the house. It was all changed now. In truth, she had been to this particular Amsterdam villa a couple of times with Bruce while they were still dating. Back in the years when she was having an affair with him, he would usually fly her out to most of his private villas, and they'd have a good time. Most of the times he flew her out to villas like this one, they'd stay for a little vacation while none of his family would know about it.She took in the ceilings and artwork on the walls. M
CHAPTER 187. The Revelation.Madam Ivy blinked rapidly, trying to understand what was written on the file she was reading. It can't be true, can it? That her husband is Bruce's real father? Her lips curved into a pain-filled chuckle. It must really be a joke. When Miss Olivia parked into the Edward family house, she was with her son. Jacob was still a toddler when his mother began to work for the Edward family, and the only grandchild Madam Ivy had then was just Sara!She decided to re-read the papers again, maybe she was just too old to see clearly. She read the words on the file again and again, hoping that they would change, but they remained the same. "DNA paternity test results... Bruce Edward is considered the biological father of Jacob Richardson." She felt like she had been punched in the gut, her breath knocked out of her. She couldn't believe what she was reading.She looked up at Olivia, who was watching her with a smug expression, her arms crossed over her chest. "You can
At the main Edward family house. More than 30 hours have passed and Bruce still hasn't called for a family meeting to address all that was said at the villa in Amsterdam. The truth was this: he wanted to address it and tell everyone the truth about his relationship with Olivia. It all started years back after he had a one-night stand with her to finalize a deal in Asia. But after that night, she came back saying she was pregnant.Initially, he didn't want to take her in, but after going for a test and his doctor revealing the probability that it might be a boy, he decided to keep it since all he had with Madam Ivy was just Avery. He opted for her to come into the Edward family as a maid just so he could watch his son grow, but unfortunately, Madam Ivy caught them and threw her out. But even after that, Bruce made sure Olivia was living like a queen and that Jacob had full access to his father's wealth, despite not being part of the Edward family or living in the same place as them.H
About twenty minutes earlier, Sara sat in her car, her mind filling with thoughts that Jacob was now her uncle. She couldn't yet piece together the puzzle and fully accept that he was her uncle, but from the ten-scenario situation, it was clear that he was there to stay. Since everyone had come back from the house, they had been in their rooms, but she opted to go around and get some fresh air rather than getting herself stuck at home. She stretched out her hand to her driver, and he quickly poured her another shot of drink. Though he poured it slowly and cautiously, he wanted to not pour out any at all, but he knew better than to disturb his boss. He watched her drink the shot and dropped the cup in front of her. He then asked, "Do you care to share your burdens, ma'am?" Sara's lips pulsed, and she slowly turned to him before her smile widened. "Didn't they always say a problem shared is a problem solved?" She burst out laughing, like she was running mad. "But in my case, if I s
