Chapter310
Mrs. Johnson II pointed at Johan’s nose, shrieking, “You siblings conspire together! Plotting to steal the inheritance! You murdered Old Cheng! May you die a horrible death!”
Her curses grew increasingly vile.
Johan’s chest ached even more with rage.
Cecilia spoke calmly: “He didn’t know I belonged to the Johnson family when he kidnapped me.”
Mrs. Johnson II froze.
Didn’t know?
“Why kidnap you then?”
Mrs. Johnson II scoffed, “Old Cheng’s dead! You can spin any tale
you-”
“Because she’s my wife.”
A deep male voice cut through.
Cecilia looked up to see Wesley at the doorway.
His tailored ck suit entuated his sharp, upright frame.
His gaze swept the room, softening slightly when itnded on Cecilia before turning cold again.
He strode inside, long legs eating up the distance.

“He kidnapped what’s mine to threaten me,” Wesley stated, stopping before Mrs. Johnson II. “Any more questions? Take them to the police station. Cause another scene here, and I won’t spare any courtesy.”
Mrs. Johnson II turned pale. So Cecilia was actually Wesley’s wife.
Wesley, Second Aunt has always treated you well…
“Using me for business fraud, trying to cover it up, then kidnapping my pregnant wife after being caught–that’s your idea of treating me well?”
“I…”
“The only reason I’m not pursuing the Johnson family further is for Ci’s sake. If you disagree, I can certainly reopen the case.
Wesley’s words struck like iron, silencing Second Aunt Johnson.
She never imagined Wesley would be involved.
Her tone shifted to pitiful: “Juniper and I… we..

“You’re just Juniper’s stepmother. Don’t presume to say ‘we‘.”
Johan cut her off with a scoff. I’ll take care of Juniper myself. No need for your concern.”
“Keep this up, and I doubt Grandma would mind striking your name from the family register?”
Outside the ward.
Madam looked at that scene and finally fot

The assistant whispered, “You can rest assured.”

Madam shook her head. If Wesley and Cecilia had a harmonious rtionship, she would naturally be happy.
But now their rtionship had hit rock bottom. Wesley showing up here, Cecilia might not appreciate it.
She signaled the assistant to push the door open and walked in.
Second Madam Johnson suddenly threw herself in front of Madam, knelt on the ground, crying miserably, “Mother, you must stand up for me.”
Madam had no good expression. “Get up, what kind of behavior is this?”
Third Madam Johnson hurried over to help her up.
Madam again instructed her third son, “Richard ck Walker Miller Martin Bet Walker Miller Martin Bet, take little Johan back to the ward.”
“Okay.”
Richard Johnson supported Johan and left.
Madam looked at Wesley again. “Wesley, thank you for helping them out. When you have time,e to our house for dinner.”
Wesley knew this was a dismissal. He nced at Cecilia reluctantly and left.
Madam sat on the sofa, her face cold. “Had enough drama?”
Second Madam Johnson gritted her teeth and knelt down again with a thud.
She wiped her tears. “Mother, Second Master died unjustly.”

“You came here wearing mourning clothes, are you trying to force me?”
Madam knew her daughter–inw’s thoughts inside out.
Mrs. Johnson hurriedly said she wouldn’t dare.
Madam pressed about Johan’s parents, but no matter how she
questioned, Mrs. Johnson imed ignorance, insisting Holden couldn’t have done such things.
Madam’s expression darkened by the minute.
Finally, she dered: “You’ve been married to my second son for ten years. Take this money and leave the Johnson family.”
Mrs. Johnson, barely forty, could easily remarry if she wished.
She shrieked, “Mother! He’s just gone, and you’re throwing me out?
You only care about the eldest son’s family–you’ve never valued us!”
Each word struck like a knife.
Madam closed her eyes briefly She’d had enough.
“This payment is for my second son’s sake. Did you truly think I wouldn’t discover what you two did?”
Three years burying two sons had drained Madam’s spirit. She refused to prolong this torment.
Sending her away was thest dignity she could offer her second son’s
household.
Mrs. Johnson fell silent, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The third daughter–inw softened, whispering: “Mother, perhaps let
