Chapter 755 Is Andrew an Illegitimate Child?
Although Ethan tried his best to deny it, his eyes and expression betrayed him.
In the face of Beau's sharp gaze, Ethan paused for a moment, and his tone was finally discouraged.
"I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Valentine."
Owen looked at Ethan in surprise. He didn't expect that Ethan also had a story.
Beau, however, was expressionless. He glanced at Ethan.
"Tell me about it."
There was no fluctuation in his tone, but these words were no different from a threat to Ethan's ears.
At this point, Ethan didn't regret it. Thinking of all the ups and downs Eliza had gone through along the way, he still spoke. "Andrew is my younger brother."
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence.
After a long while, Owen said, "Are you Andrew's brother? You two don't look alike."
"Of course not. He looks like his mother."
Beau said, "He's your half-brother?"
Ethan nodded with a mocking smile on his face.
Beau and Owen exchanged glances.
"Is Andrew an illegitimate child?" Beau asked.
Ethan twitched the corner of his mouth and his eyes were full of hatred. "Yes, he is the son who was born by my father and my maid."
At this point, there was no need for Ethan to hide anything. He gave a brief account of his story with Andrew.
There was nothing strange about it.
His mother was the only daughter of the Hill family in Krine.
Thirty years ago, the richest person in Krine was not Beau, nor was it the Valentine family, but the Hill family.
As the daughter of the richest family, Harmony was very beautiful and had been doted on since she was a child.
There were many people around her who tried to please her, which led to her particularly pure and kind character.
Ethan's father was originally called Joyce.
Joyce was the youngest son of the Beck family. The Beck family was in the new energy business and they had accumulated a huge fortune in just a few years.
Although there was a lot of money, the family did not have much foundation. Soon, it was resisted by the rich families abroad, which made the Beck family suffer an unprecedented crisis.
Due to the fact their sales channel was intercepted, the Beck family had to come to this country to find a new channel.
Coincidentally, the Hill family was doing research and development business. Not only did they have their own sales channels, but they also had a large number of patents in their hands. If the Beck family cooperated with the Hill family, all difficulties would be solved.
The Beck family asked their youngest son to negotiate with the head of the Hill family, but he was not recognized by the head of the Hill family.
Just as Joyce was about to leave in frustration, he ran into Harmony, who had just returned home.
"The only merit of Joyce is probably his good looks."
Ethan's tone was full of sarcasm. He didn't call Joyce his father because of this man's behavior. He didn't deserve to be a father at all.
In other words, he didn't deserve to be a human being.
Joyce took advantage of his face and used all kinds of fancy words to trick Ethan's mother away, and then used Harmony to restrain the head of the Hill family.
Harmony was the only daughter of the Hill family. For the sake of his daughter's happiness, her father had to compromise in the end.
The Hill family helped the Beck family to open up a sales channel, allowing the Beck family to survive the crisis.
Joyce was not reconciled to just getting through the crisis. He took advantage of Harmony to steal a lot of the Hill family's patents, and first, he established the products that were developed by the Hill family and then framed the Hill family.
All of a sudden, the Hill family became the target of public criticism. Joyce took the opportunity to buy many of the Hill family's companies and took away all the employees of the Hill family.
The glorious Hill family turned poor overnight. Ethan's grandfather was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital straight and threatened to cut off his relationship with Harmony and Joyce.
Let's talk about Harmony. After she stubbornly married Joyce, she thought she was married to love.
But she didn't expect that Joyce was such a frivolous man who hooked up with all kinds of women.
Harmony didn't know about it at first. In order to get the Hill family's support, Joyce coaxed her in various ways.
Finally, Harmony brought back a woman out of kindness.
This woman was Andrew's mother. She lost her parents since she was a child and grew up in the slums. In order to survive, she lied.
Once, when she stole someone else's purse and was chased and beaten on the road, she happened to be met by Harmony, who was shopping.
Seeing that she almost died in front of her, the soft-hearted Harmony brought her home.
Harmony gave her a job as a maid. As long as she relied on her hands, she could earn self-esteem and dignity.
Harmony thought that she had saved a girl, but she didn't expect that this girl was not a good person. Instead, she was a wolf in human skin.
"You should be able to guess the rest of the plot. That woman hooked up with Joyce, who forced my mother to death for her."
Hearing Ethan finish his words without emotion, Beau and Owen did not speak for a while.
Ethan clenched his fists and said to Beau, "Andrew is the son of the b*tch with Joyce. After my mother was killed by them, Andrew was taken back to the Beck family."
"What about you?"
Ethan's eyes flashed. "Me? In order to avenge my mother, I stabbed that woman to death with my own hands."
At that time, Ethan was only ten years old. Because he was underaged and killed by mistake, he was not severely punished. He was released after spending half a year in the detention center.
Joyce was obviously a playboy, but he acted as if he had lost his true love.
Ethan and Harmony looked very similar. Perhaps it was because he felt guilty, or maybe it was because of something else. In the end, Joyce didn't do anything to Ethan. He only gave him a sum of money and then sent him back to the Hill family in Krine.
The Beck family announced that they had thrown Ethan out of the family, and then Ethan lost the family inheritance.
Andrew, the son of a maid, suddenly turned into the only young master of the Beck family.
How ironic.
After returning to the Hill family, Ethan's treatment was not very good.
The Hill family held a grudge against Harmony. Even if she had died, it did not make up for her mistake.
The Hill family hated the Beck family. Ethan had that man's blood, so he had to bear the anger and hatred of his own people since he was a child.
Only Ethan's grandfather treated him well.
However, his grandfather had always been in poor health, and the Hill family didn't have enough money to treat him.
Ethan had to work to earn money at such a young age. For the sake of his grandfather's health, he had even studied medicine and become a highly skilled doctor.
Although he lived in the country, the hatred in Ethan's heart had not been extinguished.
He hated Joyce and Andrew even more. The Beck family should not exist. He would take back everything that belonged to the Hill family!
Therefore, Ethan had been hiding it very well. He knew that he couldn't shake the Beck family with his own ability, but it didn't mean that others couldn't.
He had long seen through the nature of Eliza and understood Beau's deep love for Eliza.
With the couple working together, Andrew would have to stand off to the side.
