Chapter 690 Unbelievable

:

Dominic’s face darkened like thunderclouds gathering before a storm.

That year, Kyla had only been 14.

Even at that age, her heart had already carried venom.

No one knew how she uncovered the truth, yet what cut deeper was that she had chosen to keep it.

She had hidden the evidence for years, waiting for the moment she could drag Russell into prison and watch the Jensons collapse.

She had sold their secrets to Crown Group in exchange for riches that would last her a lifetime. She had even tried to kill Blair, the woman who had embraced her as if she were her own flesh

and blood.

Her heart was cruel beyond measure.

The Jensons had rescued her. They had raised her for 19 years. They had lifted her from despair and given her every comfort. They had showered her with trust and affection.

And this was how she returned it.

Dominic let out a harsh laugh.

His chest heaved with grief that tasted of ash.

So this was payback.

It was payback for how the Jensons had cast aside their true daughter. Payback for the way they had shown nothing but coldness toward their own blood.

Payback for how they had adored an adopted child while trampling on the one who was theirs by birth.

Now they stood here, broken beyond repair.

There was no one else to blame.

This was their sin, and they were choking on the ruin it birthed.

Blair watched Dominic’s expression stiffen, and dread carved its way through her chest. Memories began to align.

Chapter 690 Unbelievable

:

The evidence had been destroyed long ago. Very few ever knew the truth.

The betrayal had to come from someone inside their home.

Her mind slipped back to those days. Kyla had taken cooking classes. She often baked cakes, pies, and brewed tea, then brought them into Russell’s study.

Russell had been weighed down with unbearable pressure then. Kyla’s presence was like a soft wind breaking into a suffocating room. Her quiet kindness steadied him, and he praised her often, calling her a blessing.

Looking back now, it was clear Kyla could tell Russell was in a bad mood. Normally she wouldn’t have kept pestering him like that, but for a time she did. Blair had been glad that Kyla could cheer Russell up and hadn’t thought more about it.

Russell had erased every trace of bribery. If anyone still had the evidence that could destroy him, it had to be someone from inside the family. It had to be Kyla.

And Blair now saw it clearly. Kyla had betrayed them for wealth and had even tried to end the life of the very woman who raised her.

A deep stab of pain twisted in Blair’s chest.

What crime had she committed to deserve this?

She could understand Tilda’s anger. The Jensons had hurt Tilda too deeply, all because of Kyla.

Blair could accept betrayal from her.

But Kyla?

For 19 years they had given her everything.

Everything a Jenson girl could’ve hoped for.

Blair had given her fine clothes, the best schools, and even cured her genetic illness. Every season’s limited designer bags, dresses, and jewelry had been hers.

Russell and all seven brothers had adored her.

People whispered that the Jensons spoiled her too much. Blair never cared. She poured into Kyla all the guilt she held for the harm done to Tilda. She had even wounded her real daughter because of it.

And this was how it ended.

It was unbearable.

Blair’s only thought now was to face Kyla, to look her in the eyes, and demand an answer.

Why had she done it? Why had she betrayed them? What wrong had the Jensons done to her?

The machines by her bedside shrilled with piercing alarms.

Dominic rushed forward. “Mom, please, calm yourself. You cannot let this consume you. Right now, the only thing that matters is your recovery.”

Blair gasped for breath. “Do not worry, Dominic. I will not die. I know my own strength. Russell has fallen. Jenson Group is crumbling. Kyla betrayed us. I cannot give in. I must hold on.”

Her voice trembled with fury. Justin hurried to call the doctor. A sedative slid into her vein, and slowly her body slackened into sleep.

The children stepped out into the hallway with grim expressions.

Howard’s rage exploded the moment they were out. “I cannot take this. I am going to hunt down that snake Kyla! She poisoned Mom and then disappeared so she could escape before Mom could reveal her crimes. She is running away as we speak!”

His jaw locked tight, his teeth grinding so hard they nearly cracked. His eyes burned with violent intent.

They had treated her with love, and she had gutted them in return.

Howard’s mind spun with shame. He had stood by her, defended her, even humiliated Tilda because of her.

Now he wanted to tear himself apart for his blindness.

And he was not alone.

Each one of them who had once placed trust in Kyla now drowned in regret so sharp it felt like it was tearing their skin from the inside out.

They had all been fools. Fools who had raised the wolf that tore their family apart.
