?Chapter 587:


    Why disclose the miscarriage instead of pretending a pregnancy had urred?


    Kaiden had faith in the inte’s power to uncover secrets. A story with a twist would create a deeper impact. For those who no longer respected human decency, let them be the town’s informants.


    The Gordon household, once a moderately affluent family, quickly became the center of gossip in Critport. Cecelia had sumbed to a sudden illness, and shortly after her funeral, it was revealed that Demi had miscarried.


    At first, rumors spread that Ellie had pushed Demi. However, before anyone delved into the spection surrounding the former firstdy and the supposed “true versus fake heiress” drama, the story took a dramatic turn. It was revealed that Demi had faked her pregnancy.


    Using a child as leverage to improve one’s social standing was not umon in their circles, but a simted pregnancy was unprecedented.


    For a moment, the public was divided between amusement at the Gordon family’s audacity and disbelief at the Thorpe family’s naivety in falling for their scheme.


    At the Thorpe family residence, Talon and Erick anxiously faced Jorge.


    “To be deceived by a young actress—well done!” Jorge scolded them.


    “Grandpa, it was Demi’s cunning, and we…” Erick began, but was cut off.


    “It’s your stupidity!” Jorge barked, mming his ss onto the table, shattering it with a loud crash.


    “I thought the Thorpe family had already endured enough shame, but clearly, I underestimated you. Leave! Forget about the Hagua subsidiary. I’ll find another sessor.”


    The Hagua subsidiary had always been the most profitable of all thepanies within the Thorpe Group. Talon and Erick had long dreamed of taking control of it.


    Install their own team. However, just when everything seemed to be falling into ce, Demi’s interference caused all their hard work to go to waste.


    Your next chapter awaits at galnσ????????


    Talon and Erick wore exceptionally grim expressions.


    Exiting the study, Erick murmured, “Dad, Grandpa seems to have changed his attitude toward Kaidentely. Is he thinking of denying Kaiden the Hagua subsidiary?”


    “If it crossed your mind, don’t assume it escaped mine.” Talon shot a stern look at his son.


    The immediate concern was to find a way to reconcile. The best solution seemed to be identifying another suitable socialite for Erick to engage with.


    Having grasped the full scope of the situation, Houston persistently called Ellie, trying to mend their rtionship. But Ellie had firmly decided to sever ties with her family.


    She had arranged for Theo to be the lead surgeon for Cecelia, saving her life and returning the “care” Cecelia had shown her over the years.


    Ellie had also given a million to Litzy as a gesture of gratitude for the Gordons’ support.


    But Ellie felt no obligation to them. Demi’s false usations and defamation had sealed any door that could be used to manipte her with a sense of duty or indebtedness.


    Her reasoning was clear—this was a form of liberation.
