Theodore reached into his pocket as he wanted to pay off the cleaner. But after feeling around for a while, he realized that he hadn’t carried cash in ages, as times had changed. All he had with him were his bank card and phone.

Theodore took out his phone, looked at the cleaner, and asked, “How much do you want? I’ll transfer it to you!” He wanted to settle the matter with money.

The cleaning lady, however, shoved the broom into Theodore’s band and said irritably, “How much? Quit acting like a big shot! You made the mess, so now get to work and clean it up!

“Young people these days are so spoiled. The government really needs to improve its education on manners,” the cleaning lady muttered under her breath.

Theodore was instantly left speechless, and his face contorted with anger, almost ready to explode. Then, he furrowed his brows and made a phone call.

A few minutes later, the driver hurried over.

Theodore tossed the broom to the driver and ordered coldly, “Clean this place up and I’ll add 600 dollars to your bonus this

month!”

The driver was confused at first but then became overjoyed. He wondered, ‘I can get 600 dollars just by cleaning up trash? Boy oh boy. Hope I get this lucky every day!

With that in mind, the driver happily picked up the broom and started cleaning.

Theodore frowned and turned around to leave, his entire being radiating an air of displeasure.

Meanwhile, Bryce, who was not far from the Civil Registry Office, watched Theodore leave and narrowed his eyes.

Immediately after, he took out his phone, clicked open the family group chat, and recounted how Theodore had just tried to change the kids‘ last names using forged documents.

The group chat consisted of only their immediate family members, which were the parents, the three brothers, and Rebecca.

Right after Bryce sent the message, Adrian, who was in Hivalis, saw it right away. Then, the mood of the man in the meeting turned dark instantly.

Over at the branch store, Patrick and a group of business owners from Maeloria had just finished a round of golf. As he picked up his phone, he immediately saw the message his second son had sent in the group chat. His eyes instantly narrowed and emitted a dangerous glint.

On the other hand, Debra, who was at the Aotori shooting base, was the first to see the message. Once she read about Theodore’s outrageous stunt, she instantly became furious and grumbled inwardly, ‘What kind of nonsense is this? He actually forged documents and tried to change the children’s last name behind Becky’s back? Who does Theodore think he

is?‘

As she thought about it, she quickly called Adrian.

Adrian, who was at Evertrust Law Firm in Hivalis, knew instantly why his mother was calling when he saw her name on the

screen

He picked up his phone, walked to the balcony, and answered the call. “Mom,” Adrian greeted with a deep and composed

voice.

Debra snapped, “You still remember I’m your mom? Why haven’t you sorted out Becky’s divorce yet?

“Isn’t your firm highly reputed? Can’t you speed things up and get your sister out of this mess sooner?”

Adrian sighed helplessly, “Mom, I’m already working on gathering the evidence.”

As Debra listened to her son, she cooled down and said more patiently, “Tell me what evidence you need, and I’ll have someone find it.”

Adrian shook his head. “Mom, gathering evidence is complicated. We not only have to ensure the evidence is genuine but also that its source is legal. Please don’t do anything rash.”

Once Debra heard that, she snapped again. “So you think I’m that unreliable?”

Adrian was left speechless by her words.

After ending the call with her eldest son, Debra called her husband and immediately started scolding him.

Patrick stayed silent and listened patiently to his wife’s scolding. Once she was finally done, he was concerned about her and wondered if her mouth was dry after all that yelling.

It was a pity that Patrick wasn’t with her. Otherwise, he would have poured her a glass of water.

Patrick cautiously explained, “Debbie, the Edwards family is well–established in Maeloria. It won’t be easy to disrupt their influence in just a short time.”

After saying that, he hurriedly added, “But with all the effort we’ve put in lately, we have built some connections in here Macloria. We can’t deliver a fatal blow to the Edwards family, but we can definitely cause them some trouble.”

Debra irritably responded, “After trying for so long, all we can do is cause them some trouble?”

Patrick quickly corrected himself, “It’s my fault. I’m sorry, honey I’ll find a way to cause them bigger trouble!”

Three days later, someone anonymously posted a huge revelation online, and the Edwards family instantly became famous.

The explosive news revealed that the chairman of the Edwards Group, Michael, had another family outside his marriage. with two illegitimate sons and one illegitimate daughter.

Most importantly, all these illegitimate children were employed by the Edwards Group, and they held high positions.

The first illegitimate child was Gifford Edwards. He was 27 years old, just a year younger than Theodore, and had already risen to the position of vice president at the Edwards Group headquarters. His mother was Pamela Hughes, aged 48.
