Blood and Inheritance Chapter 9
Adrian’s face had gone ghost white.Thank God I’d already covered Lila’s ears. She didn’t need to hear these filthy truths about how her father was such a disgrace.Back then, I had turned down so many suitors to marry him. I chose him because he seemed plain and honest, like a man without malice.What a joke. His secrets were deeper than anyone’s, his schemes darker than I ever imagined.I thought I’d married a simple man. Instead, he brought an entire mess of baggage into my home.As the reality closed in on him, Adrian snapped. He lunged at Margaret, striking her viciously. "You ruined my whole life! Just die already!"With trembling effort, Margaret bent her arm, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a single flower. She offered it to him.Adrian broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.In that moment, I finally understood why he had always indulged Serena.From Margaret’s eyes, I saw it: the love she had once carried for him.I stepped closer. "Turn yourself in. For the com

The police came over to verify the evidence. I handed them Lila’s medical reports along with the surveillance footage from our home."Officers, please," I said firmly. "You must stand up for my daughter. With these injuries—both physical and psychological—the evidence is undeniable."They nodded gravely, but Adrian suddenly lunged forward like a madman, snatching the evidence from their hands."They’re both my daughters! They were just playing around! My wife is blowing things out of proportion. I’m withdrawing the case. We’re not pressing charges against Serena!"I shoved him aside and yanked up Lila’s sleeve. "Playing around? Do these look like playful injuries to you? Our daughter has been tortured into madness, and not once have you shown an ounce of care. All you think about is your bastard child!"From the wheelchair, Margaret began gesturing frantically again. Robert lost control, rushing forward and punching Adrian squarely in the face."When Serena was two, you dumped he

"Claire Ashford, just say the word and Serena can be bailed out. Please, help her!" Adrian’s voice roared down the line desperately.I ignored him. Even if the police didn’t go after Serena, I still would.Passing the station, I spotted the Rolls-Royce parked out front. Serena was already in custody.Adrian threw himself in front of my car as I prepared to step out. At that moment, Emily called."I’ve confirmed it, Mrs. Ashford. Twenty years ago, Mr. Ashford fathered a daughter with a woman from the countryside. I collected hair samples from their home. The DNA test is underway."I looked at Adrian’s still-handsome face and felt nothing but disgust.He clutched my arm, frantic. "Please, help Serena. You owe her your gratitude. She saved my life! And besides, she’s your daughter."I had just brought Lila home from the hospital, yet he couldn’t spare a glance at his real child. Every word from his mouth was about Serena.I pulled out Lila’s scans to show him. He knocked them from

Rachel trembled all over, barely daring to breathe as she rushed to start the car.Inside the vehicle, it was just the three of us, the silence so heavy it pressed on the chest.At last, Rachel spoke, her voice breaking with tears, "Mrs. Ashford, thank God you’re back! Serena runs wild in this house. Mr. Ashford spoils her beyond belief. She didn’t just break my fingers. She’s left the other guards beaten and crippled. Some of them can’t even walk without crutches now…"So that explained why half our security team had vanished. Serena had grown this brazen.Influenced by my past, Adrian always believed fighting and injuries were no big deal. After all, I’d once been the one to clean up the messes.However, that was more than a decade ago.Now we lived in a society governed by law. Every crime had consequences. That was why I’d washed my hands of the underworld.The car sped through the city and soon reached the hospital.I took Lila through every department for a full examinati
Blood and Inheritance Chapter 5
The surveillance footage burned into my eyes.The entire Ashford household, including the staff, guards, and everyone, stood by watching Serena torment Lila as if it were entertainment. Not one of them lifted a hand to stop it.Rage exploded in me. I kicked Serena hard. "Give me an explanation! What the hell is going on here?"She hung her head, mute, like a cornered animal that had suddenly lost its tongue.On the giant screen, the image shifted to Serena unleashing a massive mastiff, pinning Lila beneath it while the beast tore at her.Not a soul in this house dared intervene.My gaze snapped to Rachel, the bodyguard I trusted most. Only then did I notice her right hand. The fingers were twisted and broken.What else had been festering under this roof without my knowledge?A chill swept my spine.Adrian hurried forward, scrambling to smooth things over. His tone was light and dismissive. "Serena was just playing with Lila. Why are you taking it so seriously?""Playing?" My

Her shameless defiance made me furious, yet it was almost laughable at the same time.What burned me more was the way the bodyguards dropped their heads the moment she snapped at them. Clearly, they’d been bullied by this girl more than once.I was about to explode when Adrian walked in. He sensed the tension instantly and barked, "Claire Ashford, why are you stooping to argue with a child? It’s not like this family is broke. So what if Serena buys a few outfits?"The second he spoke, Serena lifted her chin smugly, her eyes glinting with open provocation.Fine. No more pretending. She wanted to show her true colors? Then, let’s go all the way."I eat what my dad pays for, and I spend what my dad gives me. It has nothing to do with you! You take care of your daughter, and leave me the hell alone!" With that, she spun on her heel, ready to storm upstairs.I lunged forward, grabbed her arm, and yanked her back a step."This house doesn’t answer to you. Pack your things and get out.
