Chapter 1411:


    Keira’s temper red, her voice sharp enough to cut ss. “Don’t you dare talk about ‘what ifs.’ I know exactly whose child I carried. Look at her—she’s the spitting image of your father. Do you think I’d be here without certainty? Stop wasting time and hand over the money.”


    Brenna’s expression hardened, her tone cold as ice. “Until the DNA test results are in my hand, you won’t see a penny.”


    She slipped her phone from her pocket, firing off a message to Ethan, asking him to dig into every detail of Keira’s past.


    The brush-off only fueled Keira’s outrage, though she masked it with a sneer. “Fine. Keep pretending now. When the DNA test confirms what I already know, you’ll have no choice but to pay me. I’ll be expecting shares, property, and money.”


    Sandra’s nerves were stretched taut. Tugging at her mother’s sleeve, she whispered, “Mom, please stop. Let’s wait for the test results before talking about that.”


    But Keira turned on her daughter with scorn. “And let them walk all over us? Can’t you see how much you look like Shepard? We don’t need any test to prove it. They know the truth, but they’re stalling because they don’t want to admit it. If you stay this soft, you’ll be bullied until the day you die. Listen to me—every single day from now until the results, we push for what we can get. Even the scraps they drop are enough for us to live well for the rest of our lives. Don’t you dare go soft!”


    Keira’s shameless words filled the car, and neither Brenna nor Ernst missed a word of it.


    Once her message to Ethan was sent, Brenna’s eyes hardened like steel. “Do you honestly take the Harper family for fools? Should we hand over whatever anyone demands, just because they show up at our door shouting?”


    Keira gave a dismissive snort and turned her face to the window, pretending Brenna’s words weren’t worth a reply.


    The ride ended quickly, and soon the looming gates of the Harper family’s residence came into view.


    The moment Giselle spotted Keira and Sandra stepping back into the estate, her fragile calm shattered. Her spirits, which had just begun to lift, plummeted once more.


    ?????? ?????? ?????????????????? ??????????: g???????ν??????????????


    Shepard was just as frustrated. His expression darkened the second heid eyes on the two women, irritation bubbling close to the surface.


    Giselle raised her voice at Shepard, sharp with me. “See what you’ve caused? After all these years, they still cling to you like leeches. What are you going to do about this?”


    By the time Keira and Sandra were ushered into the living room, Shepard was already standing there, bristling with anger.


    Keira, however, saw only opportunity. She smoothed her hair, adjusted her blouse, and lifted her chin as though she were a teenage girl again. Her tone softened, dripping with false sweetness. She dreamed that if she yed her part well enough, Shepard would divorce Giselle and marry her. And if that happened, everything the Harper family owned would belong to Sandra and her.


    “Shepard…” Keira called out gently.


    Shepard’s response was a thunderp. “Shut your mouth! You disgust me. Have you looked in a mirrortely?”
