Chapter 709
Kenneth turned at Jessica. “Aren’t you the person who keeps wanting to leave?”
Hurt, tears trickled down Jessica’s cheeks. “Do you think I want to stay here? I simply can’t bring
myself to
make our son leave. He followed us around while we built our careers for so many years. He’s suffered
a
lot.”
Jessica then knelt before Harold. “Dad, do you know how tough our life was? I know that you look
down
upon me because of my family background, but what did Darrell do wrong? The Millers’ blood runs in
him,
and the person Kenneth likes is clearly me. You drove us apart and drove Kenneth out of the house.

“Darrell is the most pitiful person here. He has a family, but he has to bear the title of an illegitimate
child.
He was bullied since he was young and used to return home with bruises over his body. Do you know
how
much it hurt to see him like that as his mother? He’s an innocent child. He should be getting good
teaching and enjoying all sorts of resources like Ethan.
“Yet, he was called an illegitimate child and humiliated. Things shouldn’t have been this way. Take pity
on
us and acknowledge Darrell, please. He’s your biological grandson!” Jessica cried.
Harold remained unfazed at her touching words.
He then turned to look at Edmund. “Bring the box in my study over.”
Edmund nodded.
Kenneth wanted to help Jessica up, but she wouldn’t let this chance slip through her fingers. She
yanked
him over instead. “Kenny, tell him what you really want to say. Don’t bottle it up.”
Kenneth turned his face away. “I have nothing to say.”
Jessica just wished he wouldn’t be this stubborn. Had he not been this stubborn, they would’ve been
able to return to the Millers a long time ago. She wouldn’t have needed to put on a show.
Edmund held a steel box and Harold opened it to take some things out of it.
“Back when I drove Kenneth out of the house, I froze his bank accounts because I wondered if you
would reveal your true colors when he was broke. But Janice was silly and lent him money. Here’s the
credit
note.”
The credit note was worth ten million dollars.
He continued, “She was the person getting hurt the most and yet she couldn’t bring herself to see

out.”
Hearing that, Kenneth looked at Janice in disbelief. “Is that true?”
Back then, his career had been smooth and he had been thinking that it was because he was one of
the
Millers.
He didn’t know that it was Janice’s money.
Janice indifferently answered, “It’s no longer important.”
“Do you think that you were so lucky to have so many clients? She begged her father and grandmother
and contacted her relatives to help you out. That was why you were successful. While Janice was
helping
you out, what was Jessica doing?” Harold asked.
Kenneth didn’t know.
Harold threw a few pictures.
They were pictures of Jessica purchasing luxuries and posh cars. She also headed to high-end
restaurants and house agencies and traveled.
Harold continued, “She splurged your money buying houses and cards. She led her poor family in and
sucked your money dry.”
