Secretly Married to a Wealthy Husband - Chapter 1407: 1407: What Are You All Talking About?

Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: What Are You All Talking About?

“You all…what exactly are you talking about?”

As the two of them felt troubled, a crisp voice suddenly rang out.

They turned their heads upon hearing the voice and saw Nina Adams standing at the front door, staring at the two of them in bewilderment.

“Lady Nina!” The Housekeeper was somewhat surprised to see her.

“What illegitimate daughter…what were you all talking about just now?” Nina asked the two of them, shocked.

She had been standing at the door for a few minutes and heard everything Clayton Howard and the Housekeeper had said, clear as day.

Upon hearing this, the Housekeeper felt things were heading in a bad direction and turned his head uneasily, looking at Clayton Howard who was sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Nina suddenly appear at the door, Clayton Howard was relatively calm; if she had heard everything, then it might as well all be laid out.

“Since you’ve heard it all, there’s no need for us to repeat it.”

Yes, she had indeed heard everything: She heard him say he would never marry her; she heard him call her Grandpa Harrison’s illegitimate daughter…

How could this be possible? The age difference between her and Grandpa Harrison was so great; how could she possibly be his illegitimate daughter!

“This is impossible. I… I’m not an illegitimate daughter… I was clearly…clearly raised in an orphanage.”

Seeing her unable to accept it, the Housekeeper couldn’t help but speak up.

“Lady Nina, it’s true. After your mother passed away, you were sent to the orphanage. It wasn’t many years later that Master found you and brought you back home, but due to some matters, he couldn’t acknowledge you…”

“Impossible!” Nina cried out in heartache. How could she possibly be an illegitimate daughter, and moreover, an illegitimate daughter who could never be acknowledged publicly!

He never wished to acknowledge her as his daughter, even unto death. Why did she have to discover all this after his death!

“You might not acknowledge it, but this is indeed the truth.” Seeing her emotional, Clayton Howard, who sat on the sofa, could not help but speak up.

Seeing him, Nina’s emotions suddenly cooled down.

Why had things developed to this point? It was bad enough that he did not want to marry her, but in the end, she had also become an illegitimate daughter whose existence was shameful…

“I have other things to attend to. I am off to the Company.” After glancing at the two of them, Clayton Howard got up and walked towards the grand entrance.

Watching his retreating figure, both Nina and the Housekeeper looked dejected.

They had originally thought that with Master using the full KM as a bargaining chip, the whole matter would be easily resolved. Clearly, Young Master Leon did not care for such fame and power.

“Housekeeper Harrison.”

As he was lost in his own thoughts, Nina suddenly spoke up.

Housekeeper Harrison turned his head, only to see her looking grave, her expression as frosty as if she had been coated with ice.

“Since initially, Grandpa took KM for exchange, then now, he should honor his promise, shouldn’t he?”

Seeing her frosty, cold expression, Housekeeper Harrison’s brows slightly furrowed, somewhat puzzled by the meaning of her words.

Nina lifted her head, looking at him, “Since he’s not Grandpa’s biological grandson, then from now on, I am the owner of this home. No matter how, you must ensure he fulfills the promise he made to…Dad!”

Dad…

Upon hearing this title, Housekeeper Harrison was somewhat taken aback.

If Master were still alive, he’d surely also hope to hear this call of ‘Dad.’ But he couldn’t fulfill this last wish before his death.

Although Young Master Leon is not Master’s biological grandson, Master made it very clear on his deathbed that from now on, he would be the helmsman of KM, the next-generation master of the Harrison Family!
