?Chapter 874:


    Le continued, “Your mother… At one time, there was a man she deeply loved, and they shared a strong connection. However, their rtionship wasplicated by misunderstandings, and that kept them apart.”


    “They kept them apart. When your mother discovered she was pregnant, your grandfather insisted she have an abortion, but she refused. Conroy was a supportive assistant to your grandfather at the time. Conroy and your mother entered into a marriage of convenience, initially intended to provide a legitimate birth for you.”


    Le’s eyes clouded with memories as she continued.


    “Your mother chose not to divorce Conroy because he treated you well after your birth. She wanted to create a sense of family for you, but she foresaw that you would get lost.”


    Their marriage was loveless, and Eileen was essentially Conroy’s adopted daughter, which exined his distant attitude toward her.


    “Then why am I not rted to Jessica by blood?” Eileen asked. Since they were family, Jessica would naturally be connected to her through blood ties.


    “Gianna was adopted by your grandfather when your mother was still a young child. He loved your mother greatly and was concerned that having another child wouldplicate the distribution of assets, so he chose to adopt apanion for her instead. However, this notion was fundamentally wed from the start. Biological siblings are still embroiled in disputes over family assets, let alone those without blood ties.”


    Le let out a sigh, feeling overwhelmed by the realization that they had made a series of wrong choices, which had led to the current situation.


    Eileen said, “If I reveal the truth about Conroy and Jessica’s rtionship to the public, Conroy will undoubtedly retaliate by threatening to ruin the Vazquez family’s reputation. Thepany won’t be a concern. You only need to decide whether to protect the family’s reputation or to let my mother rest in the family’s ancestral tomb.”

    If Le agreed to let her reveal the matter of Conroy’s illegitimate daughter, she would directly negotiate with Conroy tomorrow. If he refused, she would reveal the truth about Gianna’s identity. Still, having been raised by the Vazquez family, Gianna could still be seen as Conroy’s sister-inw.


    Conroy and his sister-inw had an affair.


    The Vazquez family’s daughter had found herself pregnant out of wedlock, with the father’s identity remaining a mystery.


    These two bombshell revtions were enough to spark a scandal in Alverron, tarnishing the Vazquez family’s reputation and making the family the subject of ridicule.


    “Let me think if there is a better way.” Le rose from her seat and moved the chair by the window.


    Seeing this, Eileen departed with Gabri in her arms, allowing Le sufficient time and privacy.


    Conroy, depleted of energy after a prolonged and intense examination forced upon him by Jessica, walked in the door. Gianna hurried over to him, but her expression soon changed to one of concern as she took in his exhausted appearance.


    “You’re back earlier than expected, but you look absolutely drained. What happened?”


    “Jessica is to me for this. She imed there were cancer genes in my blood and pushed me to undergo an examination,” Conroy said weakly. “Jessica has been draining me of blood for…”
