Chapter 471
Wayne was helping out in the northern wing of Youngworth Miracle when he saw Everly returning with puffy eyes, an obvious sign that she had cried.
Worried, he asked, ‘Everly, what happened?’
Her lips pouted as soon as she met her brother. The tears she barely fought back began trickling down her cheeks again. “Wayne…’
The moment his dear sister cried, he panicked. ‘What happened? Tell me.”
Everly had gone to look for Hera at the western wing of the clinic, but why did Everly return crying?
“Nothing. Hera didn’t bully me.” She quickly wiped her tears away before explaining, “She said something to me, and I believe she said it out of goodwill and nothing else.”
Wayne instantly wore a solemn expression. “Of course, she said it out of goodwill. Even if she tells you off, you should repent and think if you’ve done anything wrong. Dr. Youngworth and Hera treat us so well. We must be grateful. Do you hear me?”
She bit her lip, wondering who was his sister. Hera or her?
Rhett returned to the Killian residence after work. In the living room, he asked Frederick, “Have you contacted Raven?”
“Nope, but we’ve found out a way to contact his assistant, Piglet. We’re asking him to connect us to Raven,” answered Frederick.
Rhett’s brows furrowed, showing disapproval. ‘How inefficient.”
“We need time. It’s difficult to reach Raven,’ Frederick explained.
“Don’t give me excuses!” Rhett chided.
Linda raised her voice. “Why are you lashing it out at your son? Freddy is doing his best. He wasted one day for punishment, remember?”
The sheer mention of the punishment triggered Rhett. Anger and jealousy churned in him.
That day, all Frederick did was tease Hera, and that was all it took for him to be punished! What about Bernard, who didn’t show respect to his elders and said vulgar words?
Chad turned a blind eye to Bernard’s rudeness and let him go instead of holding him responsible! He was playing too much favoritism!
Rhett saw through everything. Chad might be strict on Bernard, but that was simply an act to cover up the favoritism behind it
Chad and Albert were the same; they favored Bernard more. If it were another member who had done those evil deeds Bernard did, they would’ve been exiled from the family a long time ago.
Bernard, the illegitimate child, didn’t only remain in the family, but Albert even gave all of his shares to him! If this continued, Bernard would ultimately be the next head of the family. Rhett’s family wouldn’t gain anything good from this!
“Be quick! Before Bernard gets married, you have to perform better and earn your great-grandfather’s recognition!” Rhett reminded Frederick.
“Got it.” He got up and left the house.
“Alright, alright. What’s the use of getting angry? We’ll be the next head of the family for sure,’ Linda cooed.
Rhett took a sip of tea in an attempt to calm himself down. “Any updates from Aury’s case?’
“Don’t worry. They won’t find out about me,” she assured.
Chad and Karen would always put a lip over this kind of family conflict to protect the family’s name. Therefore, Aurora’s case was investigated discreetly, hence the inefficiency
Rhett nodded. ‘Im glad.”
At that moment, Giselle knocked on the door and entered the house ‘Uncle Rhett, Ms. Linda’
As soon as she came, she began whining, “Uncle Rhett, Aunt Linda, you have to help me out. Uncle Chad won’t help me, and he’s going to restore Ms. Hera’s status. My parents are gone. I don’t have anyone else to rely on. You guys are the only ones I can count on….”
The calculating couple exchanged looks. How would they not know the purpose behind Giselle’s visit?
Giselle wanted to secure her position in the Killian family.
They wouldn’t miss such a chance when a chess piece offered itself to them.
