The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 489

Jason looked from his grandmother to his mother, confused. "What… what did you do?"

Yves answered for them. "Your father… Mr. Teague… had a girlfriend in college who got pregnant. Your grandmother, Old Mrs. Shepherd, disapproved of the girl because her family was poor and not from a prominent background. Isn't that right, Old Mrs. Shepherd?"

Old Mrs. Shepherd looked away evasively. "Yes…"

Old Mr. Shepherd stared at his wife in shock. "There was… something like that? Why didn't I know?"

Old Mrs. Shepherd shot him a contemptuous look. "There are a lot of things you don't know!"

Old Mr. Shepherd was left speechless.

"And then what?" Winona asked.

Yves looked at her. "Your biological grandmother and your biological mother schemed together. They set up a situation where your father would walk in on his pregnant girlfriend in bed with another man. Your father broke up with her, and soon after, your mother became his new girlfriend."

Winona looked at Henrietta, completely unsurprised.

"Your grandmother and your mother's mother were best friends in college," Yves added.

"Your mother and grandmother were very cunning. They framed that woman so perfectly that she never suspected a thing. In fact, by a twist of fate, she and your mother even became best friends. And your mother always thought she had gotten away with it. Am I right, Ms. Henrietta?"

Henrietta stared at Yves, stunned. "Jillian… she knew I framed her back then?"

Henrietta stared at Yves, bewildered. "I complained to Jillian… about what?"

"You were very angry," Yves continued. "So you vented to your good friend Jillian, saying your daughter was acting just like that little tramp outside, that she didn't seem like your daughter at all."

"Jillian never forgot that. A few years later, your second son, Jason, fell ill and was treated at the hospital where Jillian worked. And your good friend Jillian was the lab technician in charge of running all of your family's tests."
