Chapter 456


    “J, you’re too considerate,” Beal said with a sigh.


    He and Johanna were happy to see that J had grown up to be such a sensible young woman.


    After all, they didn’t want to abandon L. She might’ve been a little arrogant and domineering, but she


    was still their daughter, albeit not biologically.


    But Johanna was partial to J. She looked at her husband firmly and said, “We need to tell L the


    truth when we get back: that she’s not our biological daughter, and that J is. Then, we can make an


    announcement to the public. We have to bring J back as the daughter of the Whites.”


    Johanna held her daughter’s hands and looked at her face intently. J looked so much like her when


    she was younger. “If I don’t do this, it will be too unfair to you. You’ve suffered enough.”


    Beal supported Johanna’s decision, but he was a bit hesitant. “L’s a spoiled child. She has never


    experienced any setbacks in her life. If we tell her the truth now, I’m afraid it will be a big blow to her.”


    Johanna sneered icily. “Do we have to make J suffer because of her inability to cope? We’re not


    abandoning L. She is still our daughter and we will still treat her the same way. Anyway, somebody’s


    going to be unhappy either way. And I’d rather it be L than J. We owe J too much. It’s her


    turn to be spoiled.”


    In Johanna’s youth, she had be famous in Barnes for being a decisive and sharp-tongued female


    entrepreneur. She was still that same fierce woman even after decades.


    “If L finds out she’s not our real daughter, do you think she’ll look for her biological parents?” Beal


    asked warily.


    Johanna looked at Beal as though she was looking at an idiot. “We’ve spoiled L for years. Do you


    really think she’ll go looking for her real parents?”


    Beal fell silent and didn’t say anything more.


    J couldn’t help but look at her mother with awe. She was quick-witted and sharp-tongued, and she


    spoke with a certain authority.


    Ethan also found that Johanna was much smarter than he had imagined and that she was very


    sensible.


    J, on the other hand, was naive and innocent. With a mother like Johanna looking after J, at


    least she wouldn’t be easily cheated in the future.


    Later, Beal and Johanna temporarily took residence in Ethan’s vi.


    The two of them then discussed and made arrangements to take J back to Barnes, intending to


    publicly announce that she was their biological daughter.


    They were engaged in a heated discussion and didn’t even think to ask Ethan for his opinion. Rather,


    they just ignored his presence.


    J looked at Ethan questioningly. “You haven’t talked much today.”


    Before, Ethan had made it clear that he wouldn’t let her leave him.


    Ethan sighed helplessly. He smoothed J’s hair and said gently, “What can I do? You’ve finally


    found your biological parents. I would never want to get in the way of that.”


    In fact, he had already made up his mind. He would let J go back to Barnes with her parents. The


    Larson Group could expand to Barnes so that Ethan could relocate there in the future.


    Anyway, J was his wife now. She would never leave him.


    J’s face lit up and she smiled at Ethan sweetly. She pinched his cheek and said, “Then I’ll go to


    Barnes. Visit me often, okay?”

    Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle. He kissed the corner of her lips when Beal and Johanna were looking


    away and held her in his arms. “I will, my dear wife.”
