Chapter 440


    Rowan’s brows creased. He looked into the girl’s eyes. She was sick, but her eyes were full of life.


    They told him she already had an answer before she asked the question.


    She wanted to help Mandy and seek justice for herself.


    “You’ve thought through this?” asked Rowan. “Once these are exposed, the Tanners’ dirtyundry


    will be aired to the world. You’ll be implicated too.”


    “I’m not scared.” Kelly shook her head with a smile. “I’m dying soon. What’s there to be scared of?


    “But I can’t just sit around and watch them take advantage of my mom!”


    “Who says that you’re dying soon? Are you doubting my skills?” Rowan smiled. “Aren’t you afraid


    that your crush will be sad when you say that?”


    Kelly froze before a rare blush colored her pale cheeks.


    “Josiah is great. He’s more concerned about you than your father is!” Rowan took the syringe and


    injected her at the vein with ease.


    “My dad’s never been concerned about me.” Kelly chuckled self-deprecatingly. “He’s always


    scorned that I’m a burden because of my congenital disease. He doesn’t even want to pay the


    thousands of dors of medical fees each month. If it weren’t for my mom’s insistence, he might


    have let me fend for myself, dead or alive.”


    Rowan could not bear to hear something like this the most.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    ‘Daughters should be coddled and pampered. If it were Cordelia, forget hundreds of thousands of


    dors, even if it were millions or hundreds of millions of dors, even if I had to go bankrupt, I


    would—


    ‘Wait, no!’


    Rowan looked appalled and immediately stopped what he was thinking. Everything was fine. Why


    did he imagine his daughter to be sick!?


    “Uncle Irwin, I know my dad,” said Kelly. “He is prideful and has always kept the image of a good


    husband and good father. There’s no way he’ll openly admit that he has an illegitimate daughter to


    the public.”


    “So, this is a fatal blow to him.” Rowan smiled approvingly. “You’re really smart.”


    “I just don’t know if I’m right about being smart in this…”


    “Don’t think too much about it.” Rowan patted her head. “What you need the most now is to rest. I


    believe that these things will be resolved appropriately in the end!”


    …


    The day the Tanner Group held a press conference, it shook a good half of Centrolis.


    Nelly stood before the full dressing mirror and specifically picked a gown with griffon embroidery.


    The yellow dress was adorned with thousands of diamonds, looking exceptionallyvish.


    It was said that the design came from a famous embroidery family in Centrolis.


    As Nelly listened to the crowd’s fawning words and watched the servants get down to put on a pair


    of extravagant satin high heels for her, her pride peaked.


    Would anyone dare call her an illegitimate daughter or someone from the orphanage from now on?


    Would anyone dare say that she was not worthy of Zephyr?


    Even if Zephyr refused to marry her, she could find someone better than him and marry him. It was


    just that she would continue to cling to Zephyr just to annoy Cordelia!


    Nelly smirked, triumphant and vicious.


    When the press conference started, Joe announced that he would pass the Tanner Group to Nelly


    in front of everyone. The guests congratted them as Nelly socialized amongst the crowd, and


    Joe wore a pleased smile.


    “Mr. Tanner.” Their friends in business came forward with a toast. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the


    tree. It’s expected of your daughter. Ms. Nelly has the looks of a boss!”


    “Do look after our Nelly from now on!”


    “We’re all friends! No need to be so courteous!”
