Chapter 1769
The weight of those words settled over Baker and Kylee like a heavy blanket, leaving them both momentarily speechless.
Kylee finally broke the silence. “I’ve thought about that exact scenario, but given how far we’ve already ventured down this path, we’ll have to navigate each obstacle as it appears.”
Her gaze then found Baker’s face, hope flickering in her eyes. “Dad, I’ll need you to work your magic again when the time comes.”
“I’ll devise a strategy to handle whatever comes next.” Baker’s nod carried the weight of a promise.
“I find myself intensely curious about Elwood’s next moves,” Kylee declared, her voice suddenly crackling with anticipation. “Oh, Dad, by the way, today brought the most incredible discovery—Zaria isn’t actually Elwood’s biological daughter at all. She’s nothing more than an orphan he adopted. Can you believe it? All these years, Elwood has remained a bachelor, never taking a wife.” Her voice climbed with growing excitement. “This changes everything! If I can successfully join the Wright family and secure my place, Elwood’s entire fortune will flow to me!”
Both Baker and Holley stared at Kylee with undisguised amazement after hearing that.
“Are you certain?” Baker’s voice trembled with barely contained joy. For more chapters visit fin?novel.net
Kylee’s head bobbed with conviction. “Of course! I believe that Elwood wouldn’t give his assets to an adopted daughter instead of his biological one. He might give Zana some money, and that’s all.”
“You’re absolutely right.” Baker’s smile stretched across his face as he rubbed his hands together. “It seems that the decision we made back then was the right one!”
Holley drew in a steadying breath. “Let’s hope everything goes smoothly.”
At that moment, Baker suddenly asked Kylee, “By the way, how are things between you and Carola recently?”
Kylee’s features darkened at that question. “It’s a disaster! Carola continues to freeze me out completely. Worse yet, the entire Happer family is doing the same. I’ve made numerous attempts to reach out to both Lyle and Mitchell, but they refuse to see me. This whole situation is making me so frustrated!” The mere mention of the matter ignited a fire of anger that burned behind Kylee’s eyes.

Holley’s frown deepened into harsh lines across her forehead. “Why is Carola being like that? Can’t she find it in her heart to forgive her own daughter?”
“Exactly!” Kylee exclaimed, nodding in agreement with Holley’s words.
Baker spoke up, his tone reassuring. “Carola’s just upset right now. I’m confident she’ll come around soon. You’re her daughter, after all—she won’t shut you out over this. No need to stress too much.”
Kylee’s lips tightened in frustration. “But the issue is, everyone in our social circle knows what I did to her now! The gossip’s everywhere! Nobody wants to be around me anymore, and they’re whispering behind my back, calling me cold-hearted and downright vicious.”
Her voice cracked, and her eyes grew misty with tears.
“That’s outrageous! How dare they say such things about you?” Holley said, her face flushing with anger.
“It’s got to be Belinda! She must have been the one spreading the news. How else would people know? She’s clearly out to destroy my reputation!” Kylee’s sobs grew louder.
