Chapter 1599 Mike sold out Karen


    Karen was determined that Erin had admitted to being the mastermind behind everything. But Ste


    didn’t hear it firsthand; she was in the hospital at the time and Karen was the one who told her all the


    news.


    Because of this, Ste was shocked when she saw Bart giving money to those thugs. But at the same


    time, Ste wondered why Erin would admit it if she didn’t send them.


    Ste wanted to clear up these doubts, but it was clear that Karen wouldn’t tell her. After hesitating for


    a moment, Ste stood up and walked over to Karen. Just like when they were kids, she squatted down


    next to Karen and ced her hand on her leg, looking up at her.


    “Aunt, I am your beloved niece. I have always treated you like a mother. We both came from a small


    town, and we should love, help, and trust each other. You know Mike is still young, and his cousins are


    all eyeing the position of heir. The Simpson family is a corporation, and who knows if one day those


    cousins will take over. If that happens, Mike’s position as heir will be in danger.”


    “Even though I am in Arcadia, I have some influence behind me. If you trust me and tell me the truth, I


    will definitely help Mike be the heir of the Simpson family in the future.”

    These words were truly touching and struck a chord deep within Karen’s heart. Before Erin died, Karen


    feared that Erin would


    be the heir. Now she had to fear Mike’s cousins for the sake


    of her own son.


    The corporate structure of the Simpson family was truly despicable, as if anyone could interfere.


    Thomas was the chairman, so why should others have a say in the position of the


    heir?


    Karen was furious inside, but she didn’t show it. She looked into Ste’s innocent eyes and felt that


    Ste wasn’t trying to deceive her into revealing the truth. But regardless of whether Ste was trying to


    deceive her or not, Karen couldn’t reveal the truth. On the contrary, she had to stabilize Ste and


    make her help Mike in the future, using the power of the Evans family as her strong


    support.


    With this in mind, Karen raised her hand and ced it on Ste’s hand, gently patting it. She praised


    Ste for being sensible, saying, “Ste, I am so grateful to have a niece like you. If you are willing to


    help Mike, I can’t shortchange you. How about this, when the Simpson family redistributes their shares,


    I will talk to your uncle and let you join in.”


    This way, Ste would have a share, and Mike would have arge portion. When it came time to


    choose the heir, Mike would definitely be ranked first and no one would be able to surpass him.


    Mike, who was sitting next to them reading a book, blinked when he heard this. The Simpson family’s


    shares were already divided, and now if Ste joined in, his share would be even smaller?


    What if Ste found out the truth and chose not to help him, but instead helped someone else? That


    would be making enemies for him. Instead of taking this risky step, it would be better topletely cut


    off Ste’s path to the Simpson Group, to avoid future trouble.


    Thinking of this, Mike put down his book, took off his sses, and looked coldly at Karen, who was


    inconsistent. “Karen, didn’t you have Bart send someone to rape our cousin? Why don’t you


    admit it?”


    One sentencepletely shocked Karen. Her widened pupils seemed to be saying, “How did you


    know?”


    It was as if Mike could see through her thoughts. Expressionless, he said, “Two years ago, when you


    were arguing with Bart in the room, I happened to overhear.”.


    Indeed, Bart had approached her two years ago, but she didn’t want to give him money anymore. Bart


    then used the past incident to threaten her, and they had a heated argument. But she didn’t expect


    Mike to hear it…


    But Mike was only five years old at the time. How could he have such a good memory? And why didn’t


    he tell her at the time, but instead mentioned it when she suggested giving shares to Ste? Did he feel


    that his interests were being threatened?


    Karen’s shocked pupils, upon seeing the coldness in Mike’s eyes, made her heart race nonstop. And


    then it sank heavily…..


    She suddenly felt that this son was so unfamiliar, even more unfamiliar than when Andrew angrily


    called her a mistress. At least Andrew thought she had wrong values and med her for not fighting


    back. But the feeling Mike gave her was cold to the


    bone…


    She suddenly felt afraid. Someone like him could very well betray their own family for personal gain.


    Especially when this feeling came from a seven-year-old child…


    Karen wanted to stand up and educate Mike, but her hand was held by Ste. Karen lowered her gaze


    and looked at Ste, who had turned pale with red eyes, trembling all over. It was only then that she


    remembered that Ste knew the truth. She quickly shook her head and denied, “I didn’t do it. Mike


    misunderstood. He was only five at the time. What did he know?”
