After being torn between the two options and contemplating for a long time, Karen finally spoke.

She lowered her head and said, “Everything William said… is true! Ive indeed given money to Alex and Gretchen on multiple occasions, but they were both facing great financial difficulties during those times.

And… the money used to pay for these two villas also came from the Carters.”

She spoke with great difficulty.

Although her voice was very soft, it was dead silent in the living room, so everyone heard her words clearly.

Everyone in the living room got into a huge uproar.

Many of them were in disbelief and were all looking at the Turners with bizarre gazes.

It turns out theyve really used the money their daughter got from her husband to pay for their house and feed their other children… Thats outrageous!

Eddie, Alex, and Gretchen seemed visibly livid, wishing they could immediately strangle Karen to death!

They had clearly already warned her not to say anything about the truth, but she spilled the beans right in front of everyone.

It was a huge shame to the entire family!

In fact, Cheyenne and Charlotte were the ones most upset by Karens answer.

Tears welled up in Charlottes reddened eyes as she rebuked in exasperation, “Mom, what exactly have you done At the time, Cheyenne had just given birth to Amelia, and the Carters had taken away the company that she painstakingly established with her own efforts.

We were struggling to make ends meet back then.

Yet you secretly lent others so much of our money behind our backs! No, wait, you didnt lend it to them.

You gave it to them! What right did you have to do that!

“Ive always thought that you didnt care about me and Cheyenne since we were children because you only cared about yourself.

But now, Ive realized that you just didnt bother showing us any concern because you treat your siblings much better than us!

“I cant even bring myself to call you my mother now.

I really wonder if Cheyenne and I are really your biological daughters.

Are we even related to you by blood!”

Karens heart began ricocheting, and a tinge of panic instantly appeared on her face.

She frantically said, “Charlotte, what nonsense are you saying Of course you two are my biological daughters!

“Its not that I dont care about you two.

Let me explain.

When I gave the money to your uncle to build these two villas, your uncle and grandfather promised me that they would give one of them to you and Cheyenne.

After your grandparents pass away, half of this property will belong to you and Cheyenne!”

As soon as Karen finished speaking, Alex stood up and hollered in fury, “Karen, who even made that promise to you Youve already gotten married.

Who are you to come home and vie for the familys assets Let me tell you.

Every single inch of land and brick here belongs to the Turners.

They have nothing to do with you!

“Im the only son, so I will inherit all of Dad and Moms assets! Even if I die, my son will inherit them.

Your daughters will never get a single cent!

“Karen Turner, youd better bear this in mind.

Dont think about coveting anything that belongs to me! Also, I paid for all the costs of building these two villas.

Since when did I take money from you Dont spout nonsense!”

Alex was hopping mad.

At this point, he no longer saw Karen as his sister but as an enemy who was out to snatch his assets!

Gretchen hurriedly chimed in too, “Exactly! Both of these villas belong to Alex.

What do they have to do with you, Karen Dad and Mom are still around, yet youre already thinking of sending your daughters to snatch the property away.

Well, in that case, I can also say that I have a share in these two villas!”

“Stop it! All of you, shut up!” Eddie roared furiously as he stood up all of a sudden, his face as red as a tomato.

But immediately afterward, his body swayed back and forth as if he was about to lose his footing.

“Dad!”

“Dad!”

“Eddie!”

All the Turners hurriedly rushed forward to hold Eddie and help him to his chair while asking one another to bring his medicine over.

Alex pushed away Karen, who was holding Eddie, with all his might.

He cursed, “Its all your fault.

Look how angry youve made Dad.

God forbid anything happens to him.

Otherwise, I wont spare you guys!”

Then he glared at William viciously.

“Same goes for you.

Dont think Ill spare you!”

William frowned and really wanted to say something, but he could only fall silent after Lucas tugged his sleeve.

Eddie suffered from hypertension, and after getting agitated just now, he became dizzy and lost his balance.

After being fed some medicine and getting some rest, he returned to normal.

But at this moment, he was no longer as energetic as he was just now.

As he spoke, he even sounded rather lethargic, as if he had suddenly aged a few years.

Feeling extremely upset and guilty, Karen asked worriedly, “Dad, do you feel better now”

Eddie glanced at her and gibed in displeasure, “Im not dead yet.

Why Are you uncomfortable because you didnt manage to drive me to my grave, so youre thinking of making me angry again”

Karen immediately felt extremely aggrieved.

For the sake of her parents and family, she had been trying every possible way to get money from the Carters over the past few decades to show some filial piety.

Yet she ended up becoming a sinner whom everyone was upset with.

Now that even her father was blaming her, there was nothing she could do.

Looking at the scene in the hall, Nikki suddenly dashed toward Lucas furiously, pointed at him, and lashed out, “Lucas Gray, its all your fault, you good-for-nothing! If you hadnt come to our place, we would have all been celebrating happily, and this wouldnt have happened! Hurry up and get lost!”

Hearing this, Charlotte and Cheyenne both flew into a rage and were about to argue with Nikki, but Lucas reached out and pulled them both back.

“Forget it.

Dont go on anymore.

You guys stay here while I go outside,” Lucas said softly.

“No, we are a family.

If you leave, well go with you,” Cheyenne said seriously.

Eddie happened to hear Cheyennes words, and he immediately pounded his thighs in misery.

“Cheyenne, youre my granddaughter, and Ive watched you grow up since you were kids.

Yet you now… If you leave this place today, it means youre going to sever ties with us, right You… youre making me so upset!”

Cheyenne immediately seemed conflicted.

The reason she said she wanted to accompany Lucas out was that she wanted to stand by him and also wanted the Turners to respect Lucas.

But her grandfather was making it sound as thought she was going to sever ties with him, even though she was just displeased with the way he and Alex were handling the matter.

She had never thought of severing ties at all.

Seeing that Cheyenne was in a dilemma, Lucas said, “How about this You, Charlotte, and Amelia stay here for the time being.

After all, theyre your family members.

William and I will go stay in a hotel and meet you at Dylans wedding tomorrow.”

Cheyenne nodded after thinking about it.

At this moment, Charlotte walked over and said with determination, “Lucas, Dad, Ill go with you!”
