Brianna looked conflicted and said, “Isabella, please don’t say it was me who told you. I just think that our cousin’s actions are not right, so I wanted to give you a heads–up. Our aunt and my mom are sisters, so we can’t cut off our family ties.”
I understood Brianna’s concerns. “Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t say anything.”
If Cody was Jordan’s illegitimate child, then what does the paternity test report lying in my drawer count for?
I asked Brianna, “Brianna, are you sure Cody is your cousin’s child?”
Brianna nodded confidently.
“Auntie told my mom in person, it seems like she had known it for a while.”
That old woman always called Cody to come and play at her house every day.
Every time Cody argued with his daughter, she would unilaterally defend Cody.
I thought she was more polite to guests, but it turns out that was the truth.
Brianna tenderly took my hand and said, “Isabella, don’t be too sad. I will try my best to give you more information and help you gain more benefits.”
Sad?
My mouth corners are now lifted up and cannot be suppressed.
Some truths couldn’t be told to Brianna for the time being.
No wonder that old woman and Jordan were willing to take such a big gamble to ensure Madelynn’s safety. They thought Cody was Jordan’s son.
There was a good show to watch now.
“Brianna, I am not sad. Please tell your aunt that if she wants her son to be fine, she must agree to my conditions. As long as there is money, I can send
Alena abroad to study. Whether or not her father goes to jail, doesn’t affect her. The decision is entirely up to Jordan.”
Jaslene couldn’t bear to part with her son, so she came to talk to me again about the terms.
Both houses were transferred to me, the savings in the family were given to me, and Jordan’s shares in the company were also cashed out to me.
Jaslene glared at me with gritted teeth.
“Here, I give everything to you. Are you satisfied?”
I smiled faintly and said, “These are not enough.”
Jaslene widened her eyes.
“All the valuable things in the house are here, what else do you want?” I took out my phone and handed it to her, with a photo of the property deed on it.
“Wasn’t this apartment bought by Jordan for Madelynn? Since we haven’t divorced yet, it is considered marital property, and I have the right to reclaim
it.”
Jaslene looked surprised as if she hadn’t expected me to know.
Not only these but there are many more things that I knew.
Since I discovered Madelynn and Jordan’s dirty dealings six months ago, I have been preparing.
He swallowed his anger and endured for half a year.
Now, all of this is what I deserved. It is the retribution for the scumbag cheating.
I stared at her and said slowly, “I want this house too.”
Jaslene pounded the table in anger and exclaimed, “Crazy woman, do you want to force our whole family to die?”
“It’s impossible, the house is registered under Madelynn’s name. If you want the house, you’ll have to find Madelynn yourself.”
I pointed to the location of her ear with my finger.
“Wasn’t she listening attentively? Why don’t you just ask her directly?” Jaslene instinctively tried to conceal, but all her efforts were in vain.
I have been best friends with Madelynn for so many years.
