Chapter 128 Both Sides Want the Property
Darwin turned to Hathaway. "So it was you who spouted nonsense in front of my mother, Miss Ross. It seems I have been too kind to you, allowing you to hurt my wife time and time again."
Hathaway was taken aback, as if struck by lightning. "Wife? You're married to Fiona?" she trembled as she asked.
The word "wife" must have been too much for her to handle. Before Darwin could respond, Hathaway rushed towards him and grabbed his arm.
"Darwin, she's a dirty woman! She seduced Eric, got pregnant by that pediatrician, and I saw her fooling around with a certain Rupert Wells in the garage! Darwin, you deserve better! Don't let her deceive you anymore!"
"Get off me!" Darwin angrily shook off Hathaway's hand.
Hathaway gritted her teeth and, fueled by this force, made up her mind and crashed into a huge porcelain vase by the wall. After a loud crash, Hathaway fell into a pool of bloodied porcelain shards.
"Oh my God!" Jones and Anniston hurried over to help her up.
"Mr. Solomon, have you gone too far? Wasn't my mistress trying to help you? If you don't appreciate it, fine, but why resort to violence?" Jones questioned angrily.
Darwin furrowed his brow.
"He didn't push her. I just lost my balance..." Hathaway had several pieces of porcelain stuck in her arm and her head was bleeding.
Even at this moment, she didn't forget to help Darwin.
Watching this scene, Darwin felt even more annoyed. "There are surveillance cameras here. Find out how she fell by checking the footage in the surveillance room," Darwin stated, then coldly warned, "And don't let me hear any more rumors about my wife outside, or I will hold you responsible for all of it!"
With that, Darwin ignored Anniston's scolding and turned away.
"Madam Anniston, your son is really something!" Jones sneered at Anniston.
Anniston's face turned uglier.
Jones continued, "Wearing the cuckold's hat is not easy, yet he savors it, and he even manages to deny his own wife's pregnancy!"
"Jones, please stop!" Hathaway cried heartbrokenly.
Even when she was injured like this, Darwin didn't spare her a single glance. He truly had no feelings for her at all! But why Fiona? In terms of family matters, appearance, and figure, which aspect did she surpass Hathaway?
"Let's take Hathaway to treat her wounds first, and we'll discuss the other matters later!" Anniston, knowing he was in the wrong, swiftly changed the subject, supporting Hathaway as they went to the front clinic.
At the Rhoads residence, just as Janna arrived home, Jin Ken showed up at her doorstep.
"Mom, I heard you're planning to pass on the company's inheritance to a little girl?" Jin Ken had found out about Janna succession plan.
"It's like collecting debts," Janna glanced at Jike Ken and Alice who followed behind her, asking coldly, "Who let you in?"
At that moment, Alice suddenly took two steps forward, a tearful look on her face, and knelt directly in front of Janna. "Mom, I know you hate me because of Jane's affair. But Ken is your son, he has always been filial to you. You can't blame him because of me,..."
"Jane brought it upon herself, it's not your fault!" Jike Ken was distressed, about to go and help Alice.
Janna felt disgusted. "You don't have to pretend. The matter of the heir, no matter who it is, doesn't concern either of you, remember? I have already driven you out. You are no longer part of the Rhoads family, so you have no right to any inheritance from the Rhoads family."
"Mom, are you really this heartless?" Jike Ken was shocked. When they were kicked out before, Alice even said that their mother was just temporarily angry. How could a mother really abandon her own children?
Janna didn't want to listen anymore and called for Stuart to see them out. Stuart took a few steps forward, like a wall.
Jike Ken gritted his teeth. "Mom, in that case, please return all the inheritance left by Alice's father, which you are holding, to her!"
Janna was about to go upstairs. But upon hearing this, she stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around. "What did you say?"
"Jane's child is definitely illegitimate. How is she worthy of inheriting these properties? Those real estate properties should have belonged to Alice from the beginning. Alice is the only daughter of her father! Just like you, he was blinded by that vile woman Jane's deceit and made the wrong choice!"
Janna Rhoads turned back and fiercely slapped Jike Ken, in a motion even resembling dunking a basketball. Jike Ken spun in place, then covered his cheek, disoriented.
"Mom, what did Ken say wrong? I am my father's only daughter, his property should have been mine!" Alice stubbornly said, "When I returned home that year, he promised me himself!"
"Then why don't you think about why Joshua, in the end, refused to see you and preferred to leave his inheritance to a granddaughter he had never met, rather than give it to you?"
"It must have been Jane..."
"Shame on you!" Janna wished she could spit on Alice's face. "It's your own misconduct. You resorted to any means necessary to steal someone else's husband! Joshua lived a righteous life, how could he accept a shameless daughter like you?"
"Mom, it was me who pursued Alice first and actively pursued her. She is a good person! Can't you let go of your bias against her?" Jike Ken covered his cheek and spoke with a slight hesitation.
Janna Rhoads didn't want to waste any more words. "Whether it's about inheritance rights or Joshua's regrets, none of you should have any ideas. Jane's daughter, I have already found her. These things will all belong to her!"
After speaking, Janna went straight upstairs. She needed to arrange things here as soon as possible. Going back to accompany her granddaughter was the priority. As for those two beasts, she had nothing more to say.
"What did she just say?" Alice looked at Ken Ji in astonishment.
"She said... she found the illegitimate child..." Ken Ji's face was gloomy.
He had no more money. He had even started thinking of pawning Alice's jewelry. If he didn't make some money soon, he would truly become a destitute.
"If she's found, she's found!" Alice gritted her teeth, "It doesn't matter who finds her first, as long as we lure her to our side. In the end, her possessions will all belong to us, right, husband?"
"Indeed, my clever darling!" Ken Ji said, then covered his face and howled a couple of times, "It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to bear thinking about being cuckolded, having been with that wretched woman and the bastard child all the time!"
"Just bear with it, think about those properties! And the vast fortune!"
"Understood!"
These wicked couple muttered and conspired to leave.
Janna had been busy with the affairs of the company for a few days and had arranged everything that needed to be arranged. Just as she was about to fly back to Serene City. She received an anonymous email.
"President Solomon's secretary, leading a promiscuous private life, got pregnant with a pediatrician's child, caught by Darwin, and suffered a tragic abortion!"
