My usually calm mother–in–law had recovered from her shock,
She completely ignored Gregory, her expression complex in a way others couldn’t understand.
She rarely lost composure, her voice trembling as she asked me, “Kaia, is it true?”
Seeing her like this, tears suddenly welled up in my eyes.
“It’s true.”
Dissatisfied with his mother’s reaction, Gregory shook her hand: “Mom, hurry and announce that George is the heir!”
My mother–in–law had composed herself. She brushed off his hand and asked calmly, “Do you know who Kala’s ex–boyfriend is?”
Gregory scratched his head anxiously, “Who cares? The point is, Xixi isn’t of Johnson blood”
“Kain’s ex–boyfriend is your elder brother, Jason Johnson. So Xixi is still a Johnson child, and in fact, the only legitimate heir!
My mother–in–law’s words were like a bomb dropped into the crowd.
*I believe everyone knows the Johnson family tradition – only children from the main branch can inherit the family business. Only if this line is extinct can illegitimate children be considered
My mother–in–law fixed Gregory with a sharp gaze, warning him:
“After Jason’s accident, your father had no choice but to bring you back home. Gregory, don’t forget your place?
Gregory, reminded of his status by his mother, turned pale,
The reason Gregory was named “Gregory” was because it sounds like “return home in Chinese, a name given by his mother who couldn’t enter the Johnson family.
When Gregory’s father was young, he was tricked by a female secretary who gave birth to Gregory.
But the Johnson family valued pure bloodlines, and not just any child could enter the Johnson family.
The only child he acknowledged was Jason, born to my mother–in–law who came from a scholarly family.
Apart from paying child support on time, Gregory’s father never even looked at him,
which is why Gregory’s mother gave him this suggestive name.
But the unexpected happened. Jason, the heir carefully groomed by his father, had an accident while inspecting a company project at a construction site and became a vegetative patient.
no other choice, his father turned his attention to Gregory.
He gave Gregory a condition: if he wanted to return to the Johnson family, he had to marry me, because my father was his lifesaver.
Gregory had no feelings for me and had his Ideal lover, so he didn’t want to marry me.
But he also knew very well the benefits of returning to the Johnson family, so seeing that I seemed to admire him, he agreed to marry me.
Brianna originally looked down on the penniless Gregory,
but when he suddenly became the young master of the Johnson family, she agreed to be his mistress.
Gregory was quite devoted to Brianna. The reason we went for IVF was not only because of his weak sperm but also because he loved Brianna wholeheartedly and wouldn’t touch me.

The two had planned to swallow up the Johnson family after the old man’s death, but they didn’t expect the old man to have a backup plan.
He divided his 60% stake in Johnson Group into four parts, letting us keep each other in check,
and designated me as the chairman of Johnson Group to manage it, not allowing Gregory to take any position in the company.
So Gregory could only rely on his shares for year–end dividends. He hadn’t been able to gain power all these years and was very resentful.
“I don’t bel
believe Xixi is my brother’s child. Why should we trust Kaia’s word?”
Gregory was still struggling to make his last stand.
