Chapter 23
It was indeed their fault to announce Hera was their adopted daughter. But for the benefit of the Everett family, they were determined not to make this secret public
“No, it’s not like that. Whatever your sumame is, you’re always my sweetheart,” Lilith whispered, tugging at Hera’s clothes.
Hera looked back at Lilith. In the entire Everett family, only Lilith truly cared about her. Facing the maternal love that she had been missing for over ten years, Hera couldn’t react and just nodded lightly.
Later, Lilith plucked up the courage to rearrange Gino’s study on the third floor into Hera’s bedroom without waiting for Mildred’s approval
Gino found that his study had become Hera’s bedroom when he returned home. He angrily pushed away the quilt in Lilith’s hand, yelling, “No! This is my study. I don’t want the bumpkin to stay in it!”
He turned to call Mildred over, whining, “Grandma, how could you give her my study? This bumpkin stole the study from me the moment she came back. She’ll definitely steal the family’s property from me in the future. I don’t want to give it to her!”
His words astonished everyone.
Although Mildred cared about the Everett family’s reputation, she valued sons over daughters. The Everett family’s property could only be inherited by the grandsons, not the granddaughters!
Hera occupied Gino’s study as soon as she returned. Would she tight with him for the Everett family’s property in the future?
Mildred cast Hera a wary look.
Speechless, Hera asked, “Are the assets of the Everett family worth even a billion?” Despite her calm tone, her words sounded inexplicably sarcastic
One billion? Ordinary wealthy families might not have such assets, let alone the Everett family, who was still on their way to being one.
“What do you mean?” Mildred’s expression darkened.
Although the assets of the Everett family were only tens of millions, it was an amount of money that a country bumpkinke Hera could never make in her lifetime!
“Does a bumpkin like you know how many zeros there are in a billion? Stop dreaming! So you really did come back to tight with me for the family’s property Grandma, kick her out! Gino shouted wilfully,
Hera was at a loss for words.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Lilith quickly stepped in to mediate for fear that Mikired would favor Gino and give him back the room.
“Gino, who told you that Hera wanted to fight with you for the family’s property?” she squatted before Gino,
Gine was only seven years old. Although he was clever and mischievous, he couldn’t have had such ideas himself.
Sure enough, he stuttered, “D–Do I need anyone to tell me that? I’m not a fool”
Hera glanced at Gino. Obviously, he had given himself away. As for who in the family could have instigated this silly youngest brother, it went without saying
“I’m not interested in the Everett family’s assets. If there’s nothing else, please don’t disturb me” With that, Hera slammed the door shut
Mildred’s expression became even darker.
If it weren’t for the Everett family’s reputation and the banquet tomorrow, she wouldn’t have let Hera stay on the third floor.
She would sell this brat off to support the family’s living expenses once Hera reached adulthood!
