Chapter 994 -997: On the Brink of Death, Still Defiant (Added 5 more)
“What… incest?”
The grandmother’s eyes nearly popped out of her sockets, pointing at Aidan Lucas incredulously, “You, you black-hearted beast, how could there be a man like you who curses his own cousin? Paul is so young, yet you have the heart to tarnish his name, you, you are really…”
The old lady was so out of breath that she nearly had a fit.
Her body shook violently a few times, and then she tottered backward, about to fall over.
Milly Gray had been sitting behind her, comforting the grandmother until now, and she could have caught her.
But for some reason, Milly Gray didn’t move an inch, simply letting the old lady fall.
By the time Emily Taylor reacted and moved to catch the old lady, it was already too late.
The old lady’s body hit the heavy solid wood table, numbing half her arm.
“Auntie, be careful—” Emily Taylor rushed to catch her.
Turning her head to look at Milly Gray, intending to question why she hadn’t helped.
She saw that Milly Gray had already turned pale, her whole body trembling violently.
Although she was sitting, her state didn’t seem much better than the grandmother’s.
No!
In fact, her complexion was even worse than the grandmother’s.
The grandmother was just overcome with rage, but she still had color in her face.
Milly Gray, on the other hand, was not only ghostly pale, but sweat beads were also forming on her forehead.
“Ethan Wilson, what nonsense are you spouting!”
Simon Taylor finally found his voice, harshly demanding, “Paul is your cousin, I am your real uncle, you’d better think carefully before you speak!”
Simon’s words had a hidden meaning, he was reminding Aidan Lucas of his own status, Paul’s status, hoping he would consider their uncle-nephew relationship and show some mercy.
However, Aidan Lucas had long grown impatient with the Taylors’ actions over the years.
Standing up for Lily was one part, and punishing The Taylors was another part.
It cannot be denied that four years ago, The Taylors had offered their help to the Lucas family at a critical time.
But in the past four years, whatever was owed and even what was not owed, Aidan Lucas, considering past affections and for Emily Taylor’s sake, had compensated The Taylors.
However, people’s greed is endless.
Simon’s greed became more and more pronounced, and so did his ambitions.
Since the birth of Charles Taylor, he could clearly sense the change in Simon.
Originally, he had thought that it was just the man’s drive for success that was inflating.
But the day the woman showed him the DNA report between Milly Gray and Charles Taylor, he realized—perhaps in the past, he had underestimated Simon Taylor.
“Uncle, don’t worry.” The man didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids, saying coldly, “I’ve thought it through very clearly. For the sake of your precious heir, some things must be revealed.”
Hearing Aidan Lucas’s words, Simon Taylor took a step back, panic flashing across his eyes.
He thought Aidan Lucas was just threatening him, not realizing that he truly was not going to hold back any punches.
“Ethan, what are you talking about? Even if you’re angry with the grandmother, she is still an elder… We are all relatives, even if you’re unwilling, you can’t just slander Paul like that…”
Up to this point, Simon was still using the grandmother as his shield.
But it has to be said, his words were indeed effective.
Hearing him say that, everyone believed that Aidan Lucas’s recent outburst of ‘incest’ was merely out of frustration, an impulsive smear.
Even Emily Taylor, after helping the grandmother to sit down, couldn’t help but turn around to persuade Aidan Lucas.
“Ethan, let it go, we’re all family after all…”
