Chapter 519 Betray
As soon as he finished, the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.
Stunned, everyone around couldn’t help gossiping with great disbelief.
“No way! She’s Leo’s daughter?”
“I heard that Leo had a daughter. That must be true.”
“Howe her daughter shows up here?”
“Hey, it’s grandpa''s birthday! What the hell are you doing with that little bastard? Are you messing
around grandpa’s banquet?”
The gossip started to spread all over while they fixed their eyes on Laura wryly.
Laura froze on spot out of shock. Then she red at Jonah with her eyes wide open. Driven by
madness, she felt like tearing him apart!
“Jonah, you…” never had she expected that it was her twin brother who sold her out.
“Why?” as Laura collected herself, she questioned madly.
Jonah replied with a sneer while looking at her, “Laura, I did this for you!”
“We are both parts of the Watts. You should tell which side you are on. Don’t confuse your own side
with your enemy’s!”
Laura was rendered outrageous, “I never confuse myself! Leo is my enemy! But the girl is innocent!”
Jonah sighed and shook his head, “Laura, as your brother, I can stand by while watching you stray
away.”
“But you didn’t seem to notice your own fault. Sorry, I got to leave it to grandpa to decide.”
Then Jonah looked at Ayan, “Grandpa, I have to apologize for Laura bringing Leo’s daughter to your
banquet, which must be a bummer!”
Meanwhile, Ayan was irritated. His face was burning with rage. He shouted at Laura, “What is going
on?”
His twisted mad face scared Emilia.
“Who are they…I am scared…” she locked her arms tight on Laura’s neck.
Laura hurried tofort her, “Don’t worry. I am here with you.”
But Laura didn’t exin the reason why she brought Emilia here. Instead, she said, “Grandpa, even if
she’s Leo’s daughter, she’s innocent. I’m sure you must be generous enough to allow her to stay.”
“Are you lecturing grandpa?” Lane shouted.
He was the one bearing the worst hatred against Leo. He felt like tearing this little girl apart.
“Grandpa, there is no denying that Laura messed up your birthday because she brought that little
bastard here! I know Laura has been outstanding. But under no circumstance should she challenge
your bottom line.”
Hearing that, the others all started to echo.
“Yeah, grandpa, today is your birthday! There is no way to let this little bastard screw it up.”
“Get her out!”
“Get her out!”
…
Soon, the rest of them all started yelling to get Emilia out of the manor.
Emilia was too scared to utter.
As for those guests, they were all aware that there was a young man named Leo who had smashed the
former resident of the Watts.
Some of them echoed with a smirk, “Ayan, as the leader of the family, you should know how important
to maintain your dignity. Now the daughter of your enemy shows up at your banquet. Are you sure you
are not going to do something?”
Hearing that, Ayan grew more and more sullen. Something violent was brewing in his eyes.
Noticing that, Jonah took the chance to incite, “Grandpa, I heard that you have ever thought about
making Laura your inheritor. Is that true?”
Undoubtedly, this question made this whole thing worse.
Ayan totally went mad.
Actually, that was true. What was more, he had strongly believed that this should be the only wise
decision to make.
However, now he totally dropped this idea!
No matter how outstanding and privileged Laura had been, what she had done today greatly offended
his bottom line.
Ayan swore to God that he would never let the same thing happen again!
“Nonsense! I have never mentioned it.”
His face was stuffed with sulkiness while he was staring at Jonah.
But Jonah didn’t seem to be afraid. Instead, he hurried to ask tentatively with a smug, “Well…if Laura
has been excluded, who else could it be?”
Ayan soon noticed what he meant. Then he squinted at him.
Both Jonah and Laura had been well-educated from abroad.
Though Jonah was less outstanding than Laura, he actually appeared more ambitious, sticking to
strong purposiveness.
Undoubtedly, he was the perfect choice other than Laura among the younger generation.
What was more, Ayan found it hard to figure out a better option.
So he answered, “Well, since then, let’s make it clear to the public.”
Then Ayan looked around the venue and continued in loud voice, “Today is my seventieth birthday. I
am too old to lead the family. And it’s time for me to retire. However, our family is still on the path to its

prime. So a capable inheritor is necessary! And he shall lead our family to reach the top!”
As soon as he finished, everyone around couldn’t help getting expectant and thrilled.
Finally, it was time to announce the name of the inheritor.
Jonah was getting thrilled as well.
The moment he had been expecting wasing!
Ayan cleared his voice and continued, “The head of the family shall be both capable and prestigious.”
“Now all of you vote for the one you deem the most perfect candidate to be the inheritor. The one
getting the most votes shall be the one we want!”
Hearing that, the rest of them all turned to be stunned.
But Jonah seemed quite confident.
Suddenly, Lane, Albie, and Hollie all stared at Jonah.
“I vote for Jonah!”
“Me too!”
“Jonah!”
All of them eximed to vote for Jonah except for Laura, who remained silent.
None of them actually voted for Laura!
Then, Ayan announced, “Jonah Watts, from now on, you shall be my inheritor to lead the family!”
Soon, the venue was filled with apuse.
Everyone present started to look at Jonah to congratte him.
At this moment, Laura could tell what was going on.
However, her heart felt like falling into an abyss as if someone stabbed it with a dagger and threw it
away.
“Jonah, you are the one who leads all the rivals against me among them, right?” staring at his excited
look of Jonah, Laura questioned coldly.
