Chapter 68
The moment she saw the old man and her sister–in–law, Annette shrank back and hid behind Jordon.
But my sister–in–law was quick to grab her hair and yelled, “You shameless bitch, how dare you hide! Do you know how old my two nieces are? They are only five years old.
“What on earth have they committed that you cannot tolerate them? How can you be so cruel? Are you still a human being?”
Annette collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain. Jordon quickly rushed to her side, helping her up, his face filled with dissatisfaction as he scolded his sister, “What are you doing?! She’s pregnant and you’re making a scene–what if something happens to the baby?“\
“Listen, let me tell you what happened, I simply took Annette home that day and those two kids yelled at her to leave! Is this how children should treat their elders?”
“I’m their father! What’s wrong with transferring them to a better school? Am1 not allowed to raise my own children as I see fit?”
With a deep sigh, he continued, “Fine, fine. If you’re so against it, I’ll just pick them up myself. Don’t help Diana lie to me with nonsense about the kids being dead.””
The old man could not bear it any longer and slapped Jordon all over the face.”
“She’s a mistress. How can she be considered an elder to the children? You are such a rebellious son!
“You brought the mistress home and there’s nothing wrong with the two children protecting their mother. This is the rule of my Howell Family.” ”
The old man was old, so Jordon did not dare to fight back and could only dodge in panic.
“Alright, alright. There are so many people watching us, give me some faces.”
The old man looked at Jordon with eyes full of heartache, as if he did not recognize his grandson anymore.”
“If I had known you were such a heartless beast, I would never have married Diana to you. In this way, Diana would not have suffered so many years of grievances and the two children would not have died!“}
As the old man spoke, tears flowed down his old cheeks.
“How can I face her grandfather after a hundred years if you treat her like this? Her grandfather only has her as his precious granddaughter!“}
Having said this, the old man’s eyes once again flashed with the figure kneeling in front of him that day.”
She held the two small urns in her arms. Her frail body was trembling, but her voice was firm enough to be frightening.” Right, it was better for her to leave. If she left, she would not have to endure this kind of humiliation anymore. He had wasted her time long enough.”
The old man did not want to look at Jordon anymore and turned around and walked outside.}
“You don’t have to go home anymore. There’s no such ungrateful beast as you in my Howell Family.“”
Jordon’s body began to tremble uncontrollably, but he still looked up at his sister in front of him with a glimmer of hope. “Tell me, what is Grandpa talking about? Are you guys lying to me? Are you guys working together to lie to me?“”
His sister took a deep breath, thinking of the woman who almost collapsed in the police station and tears fell down her face.}
“It’s you who sent two children to that kind of school, right? How could you not know that it is A place where corporal punishment is the norm–tying them to chairs, whipping them, shocking them with electric batons and withholding food and water. When we got there, it was already too late.
“Brother, now that the child is gone and Diana is gone, no one will stand in your way. You can finally pursue the freedom and happiness you desire.“”
After saying this, his sister did not even look at Jordon again and turned to chase in the direction where the old man left. Jordon’s head was buzzing and he instinctively raised his legs to chase after her, but Annette grabbed him at this
moment.
“Jordon, where are you going?”
Jordon turned around, the extreme panic had made him lose his mind.”
“I want to find my children. I want to find Diana. Did not you hear her? They are gone. They are already gone!“}
Annette was shocked by Jordon’s loss of control, but her instinct told her that she could not let Jordon leave at this time. “Jordon, I’m pregnant too. Have you forgotten? We’ll have our own baby soon.
“You never loved them, never cherished them. Isn’t this perfect? Now, we can finally be together openly. We….”

Before Annette could finish her words, Jordon had already shaken her hand away.”
“Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself with them!” he yelled to her for the first time.
Annette was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground by Jordon, but Jordon did not even look at her. He turned around and wanted to leave.
Annette covered her stomach and cried out in pain.
“Jordon, my stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much.“\
But through her tear–blurred eyes, Annette only saw Jordon’s figure getting farther and farther away.”
The man who felt distressed when she frowned, disappeared from her sight as she called him again and again.”
Jordon went straight home.”
As soon as he entered the house, Jordon was stunned.[
The house was empty, as if it had lost all its life. At this moment, Jordon truly realized it.
