    But now, they had to admit, the rate of unfortunate marriages was definitely higher for women who


    married beneath their social statuspared to those in well–matched unions.


    So, it was simply impossible to use the unique case of Adam as a precedent.


    After hearing what Sarah had to say, Caitlin and Adam were so angry that their blood pressure was


    about to skyrocket. If Bet hadn’t already passed away, they would have lunged at him for


    deceiving their daughter for so many years.


    Bet had even dared to dream of using the money Sarah had worked so hard to earn to support


    his mistress and illegitimate child.


    “Did you know all along about your son’s infidelity and his illegitimate child? Was it all because you


    wanted a son?” Adam, filled with indignation, pointed usingly at Terry and Vera and began to


    berate them. “I knew there was something off about you both from the start. Indeed, the apple


    doesn’t fall far from the tree.”


    “Hmph! As if it weren’t bad enough that the Quirk family constantly supports the Eaton rtives,


    now you’ve crossed the line by mistreating my daughter. You truly don’t know your ce!” Caitlin


    scolded furiously.


    They gave up all pretense.


    “So what? Your daughter can’t bear children. Why should the Eaton family lineage end here simply


    because she married into our family? Your daughter refuses to give us a grandchild, so why can’t


    we find our own solution? Ultimately, it’s your daughter who owes Bet. The fact that we didn’t


    let Bet divorce your daughter already shows our magnanimity”


    “Your daughter crossed the line too. She didn’t even grant my son’s final request, watching him die


    without lifting a finger. She’s nothing more than a heartless woman! But it doesn’t matter. After all,


    it’s my son’s inheritance we’re talking about. Even if we can’t take it all, we’ll still get the lion’s


    share!”


    D*mn, those two shameless old geezers! But they probably don’t know, do they? Bet is now


    gone, turned to dust. The only ones left to fight over the inheritance with Sarah and Nina are you


    two.


    A smile tugged at Alexander’s lips when he heard Isabe’s thoughts. Indeed, that was the case.


    David’s family seemed to have realized what Sarah had done.


    However, at that moment, she didn’t voice it out so as not to alert the enemy. Instead, she led her


    loved ones away from this disgusting ce.


    In any case, Bet was nothing more than a handful of ashes now. He didn’t deserve Sarah to


    handle his affairs after his demise.


    Without Sarah, there were still the mistress and illegitimate children. Upon learning that they


    wouldn’t receive all of the inheritance, they were indignant but powerless. All they could do was put


    on a show of pacifying the two old folks and arranging for Bet’s affairs, hoping to gain some


    extra benefits.


    Sloane would also seize the opportunity to make her presence known among the Eatons, asserting


    the existence of her and her children. This way, when the time came for thewyer to divide the


    inheritance, it would save them some trouble.

    +5 Pearls


    The pair of domineering elders and the mistress who had climbed the socialdder through her


    beauty seemed to have no idea of the legal implications.

    Among the Eatons, some had already realized the problem. However, due to their repulsive


    behavior and apparent greed for inheritance, no one was willing to warn them, although a reminder


    was of no use


    anymore.


    On the day of the funeral, there was no shortage of attendees.


    Bet was somewhat of a figure in the business world of Yrinas, so it was only natural that he


    would have friends from the business circle visiting him.


    Upon their arrival, they were immediately taken aback by the sight of Sloane and a group of


    illegitimate children. They genuinely hadn’t expected Bet to be so audacious. The oldest of


    these illegitimate children seemed just a bit younger than his legitimate child.


    Moreover, the mistress was acting as if she was thedy of the house, making them feel extremely


    ufortable. They didn’t want to risk offending the Quirks.


    But since they were already there, they had no choice but to brace themselves and go in.


    When they entered, they saw Terry and Vera berating Sarah. They criticized her for neglecting her


    duties these past few days, not even preparing for her own husband’s funeral. Instead, it was the


    soft, kind, and dutiful mistress who had made all the arrangements.


    Moreover, Nina was not the dutiful daughter she should have been. She didn’t even care about her


    father’s death. In contrast, the younger ones were far more devoted. They stayed by their father’s


    side, crying every day.


    In essence, they spared no effort in spreading how despicable Sarah and Nina were while


    portraying the mistress and illegitimate children as utterly devoted and diligent.


    But no one cared. They were businessmen. Sympathy for a mistress and illegitimate children


    couldn’t possibly enhance their future business prospects. They were dealing with the Quirk family,


    after all. They wouldn’t dare to cross them.
