Chapter 238
Jepson sneered when he heard Shawn’s questioning, saying, “Shawn, what exactly do you think I should regret? Where did I go wrong?”
Tucker chimed in, “Oh, you’re wrong alright, and you keep digging yourself deeper. If you and Calvin hadn’t gone after Elaine, if you hadn’t sided with Blanca to stir up trouble, maybe she wouldn’t have cared enough to even pay attention to you”
Jepson didn’t respond, still unwilling to believe the words of Shawn and Tucker,
The two brothers, however, had no intention of continuing to engage with him. Sooner or later. Jepson would understand how many foolish things he had done
Bianca had ruined him, ruined Calvin, and ultimately, had ruined the entire Yeats family.
Shawn and Tucker weren’t unwilling to save this family, but at this point, the people involved were just not worth it. Even now, they refused to acknowledge how wrong they were toward Elaine, how they had trusted Bianca.
Just as the Years family was on edge, another bombshell dropped
Graham, who had been home all this time, had disappeared.
Ella was the first to notice. She had gone to visit Graham, planning to mock him, to remind him of how his beloved granddaughter had recently torn apart the Years family.
But when she arrived, she was shocked to find that Graham was nowhere to be found.
The food on the table had clearly been there for at least three days–k had already started to mold.
The housekeeper panicked, “Mrs. Yeats, the food for Mr. Graham has been delivered by someone from outside these past few days. Since he’s been staying in his study, we didn’t pay much attention. We never thought..
But how could Graham have disappeared!
Ella was furious.
“What k
kind of people are you? Which restaurant delivered the food?
The housekeeper replied, “It was Mr. Morgan who arranged it. Mr. Morgan is your granddaughter’s husband. As servants, we didn’t think much of it. For the past several months, he’s been sending meals without incident. We just assumed everything was fine.”
Ella could hardly believe her ears. Kingsley and Elaine had already infiltrated the inner circle. Her anger bubbled over
“You–Elaine! I never imagined you’d be so brazen “”“
Kingsley and Elaine had taken Graham away–this was beyond the pale, both morally and rationally.
Ella’s eyes glinted with determination. She knew what she had to do. She would stir things up on the internet, accuse Elaine of lacking any filial piery. Her own grandfather was still alive, and yet she had conspired with oursiders to take him away. This was obviously a scheme to snatch the Yeats family fortune.
“This rebellious, ungrateful granddaughter has gone too far. It’s time she paid the price for her arrogance, Ella thought to herself.
She quickly called her secretary over. “Get someone to find out where Graham is now. I refuse to believe Kingsley, that nouveau riche, can hide him anywhere but some hotel in Boynton.”
The secretary nodded, leaving to make inquiries.
Just as Ella was preparing to make a public spectacle of the situation, another shocking updue came in.
The secretary rushed in, her face pale. “Ella, Graham in’t in Boynton. He’s in Lento”
“What?” Ella staggered backward, unable to process what she had just heard. “Graham is in Lennot Are you sure?
The secretary’s face was serious. “Yes, Graham is in Lemo. Mr. Morgan and Elaine are there too. I heard George and Sandra are the ones taking care of Graham. You remember them, don’t you? George and Sandra–your eldest son and his wife,
The revelation hit Ella like a slap to the face.
Thi
was the most shocking news she had heard in a long time.
was inercome with disbelief and rage, murmuring to herself. “How could this happen! How could they do this?”.
Her mud raced back to when she had abandoned George and Sandra. The secretary was still talking, unaware of the storm brewing in Ella’s mind.
“George and Sandra are doing v well in Lento. They h
have three sons, all of whom are outstanding Their business is booming, and they’ve besume

well–known figures in Lento..
“Shut up, shut up!” Ella barked, her blood pressure riving.
George and Sandra were thriving, and it felt like a dagger to her heart, She had cast them aside, and now they were more successful than ever
How could she bear this? Her domineering nature wouldn’t allow anyone to criticize her actions, especially when it was clear that George and Sandra were doing far better than she ever could have imagined.
Years ago, she had shown clear favoritism, handing over all the family wealth to Robert and Tracy, ensuring they lived a life of luxury without a care in the world.
As for George and Sandra, aside from what they owned themselves, everything else had to be returned in full. When they left, it had been nothing short of a humiliating exit.
Ella had never
er had st
strong feelings for George, so naturally, she never spared him any sympathy.
But who could have known that things would turn out like this? Now, with their impressive success in Lento, they were slapping her in the face-
hard.
It was at that moment that the secretary realized something was off and quickly stopped speaking.
The secretary hesitated for a moment before asking. “Ella, should we still go ahead and spread the word online, condemning Elaine for secretly raking Graham away?”
Ella coughed a few times, then, with a hard tone, said, “What secusations! George is Graham’s real son. It’s only natural that he would take Graham with him. Are you suggesting we should stop him from fulfilling his filial duties”
Elaine understood this. The old lady understood this as well
They were out of options now.
Ella gritted her teeth in fury. “Elaine, you’ve already started setting everything up. I didn’t think you’d be so prepared. Just like your grandfather. you’ve been planning this all along.”
She paused, coughing again.
At this point word had spread: Graham had been taken to Lento
Tracy hated Sandra with a passion.
Fortunately, Ella had always favored her own family, but then, she heard something else.
Elaine had actually acknowledged Sandra as her mother.
This news came from Robert, who received word that Lento had sent people over, stating that Graham and Elaine would remain in their home. They asked the Yeats family not to visit them anymore.
Robert fell silent at first, but Tracy was furious.
“Elaine is my daughter! I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her–how could she call Sandra her mother? Tracy shouted
She would never accept it.
But Robert replied calmly. “Tracy, don’t get so worked up. Listen to me. Elaine voluntarily called Sandra her mother,
This bombshell left Tracy stunned into silence.
