?Chapter 936:
Her expression transformed into something mysteriously calcting as she continued, “A startling realization struck me today. All those years ago, Rita had yed us forplete fools.”
Maxine’s deration still hung in the air when Davin interjected, “Precisely. Rita had convinced us her daughter was nothing more than a in, worthless child, yet we now discover Elliana possesses extraordinary gifts that eclipse even her mother’s brilliance.”
“That revtion merely scratches the surface. I speak of something far more profound,” Maxine said. “When Rita approached you and donated the ‘Medical Codex’ to Ublento Medical University, she had already prated your true identity. She recognized you as one of our own, so she gave you the ‘Medical Codex’ to quell my wrath.”
Davin’s jaw ckened in astonishment. “Such cunning never urred to me. At the time, I basked in my own cleverness, believing I had secured the ‘Medical Codex’ without arousing Rita’s suspicions. But it turns out, everything was within her calctions.”
The mention of Rita stirred conflicting emotions within Maxine’s chest—a bitter cocktail of admiration and resentment.
Rita’s razor-sharp intellect and exceptional talentsmanded Maxine’s respect, yet Rita’s repeated betrayals and calcted maniptions against her ignited burning anger.
“What fate do you envision for Elliana, Ms. Griffiths?” Davin inquired carefully.
In previous discussions of Elliana, murderous intent would sh briefly in Maxine’s eyes before dissolving, dismissed because she perceived Elliana as a worthless, unattractive girl.
Now, however, Elliana’s name sparked genuine admiration and delight in Maxine’s gaze. “I adopted Rita back then to harness her superior gics for producing a worthy Griffiths heiress. Since Rita abandoned this sacred duty, her daughter must fulfill the obligation in her stead.”

Davin immediately grasped Maxine’s calcted strategy, his initial response radiating enthusiasm. “Elliana carries the bloodlines of both Rita and Arthur—her gic potential must be extraordinary. Should she unite with a superior Griffiths male, their daughter would surely embody perfection. What a magnificent prospect!”
Yet, concern creased Davin’s brow momentster. “However, Katrina already wears the crown of designated heiress. I doubt she would surrender her position to allow Elliana’s future daughter to inherit the Griffiths’ legacy. Such arrangements inevitably breed catastrophic conflicts.”
Theplication that troubled Davin barely registered as a concern for Maxine. A cold smile curved her lips as she responded, “Merit alone has always determined the Griffiths heiress.”
“Katrina’s capabilities have never satisfied my expectations. Now that a superior candidate has emerged, recement bes inevitable.”
Davin nodded, finding nothing shocking in Maxine’s ruthless pragmatism. Throughout the Griffiths’ history, heiress recements had urred multiple times before. However, each transition had painted the family halls crimson with blood and death.
Contemting such grim possibilities, Davin released a weary sigh. “Pursuing this course will undoubtedly ignite Katrina’s fury and rally her supporters against us, creating fresh chaos within our own ranks.”
Years of service to the Griffiths dynasty had exposed Davin to countless internal machinations, lending weight to his somber observations. Previously, each heiress had sessfully produced exceptional daughters, maintaining the sacred duty of bloodline continuation.<fn4aca> Discover more novels at fι?dnοvel</fn4aca>
But Maxine had shattered this tradition; herck of any descendants had resulted in repeated heiress changes, triggering multiple upheavals throughout the family structure.
