Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Irwin was incredibly angry, but there was nothing he could do. In Croedal, respecting one's elders came first. He could easily drown in the sea of criticism he would receive if he chose to ignore Alex!

Seeing Irwin's reaction, Alex became smug again.

Even if Yvette revealed the truth that Irwin wasn't his biological son, what of it? As long as he milked Irwin's gratitude toward Alex for raising him for all it was worth, Irwin would have to wait on him for his entire life!

Yvette took in Alex's smug expression. When she spoke, her words immediately made the man's expression twist despite her casual tone. "Don't think that nobody knows of the dirty things you've done."

"What nonsense are you spouting? What dirty things have I done?" Alex denied it immediately, but the guilt that flashed in his eyes gave him away. "Yvette, if you dare slander your elder again, then Ican only punish you according to the house rules! "Whoever dares to harm my daughter-

"Whoever dares to harm my sister-"

Before Yara and lan could finish their protective declarations, Yvette held up a hand to stop them. She shot the two of them a smile as if to reassure them, then said slowly, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Yara and lan immediately shut their mouths, clearly deferring to Yvette,

Alex snorted coldly, face full of disdain. "Hah, I'd certainly like to see what this idea of yours is!"

He had already taken care of cleaning up those matters from back then. There was absolutely no way they could be dug up!

Yvette was in no hurry to explain herself. Instead, she addressed Irwin with concern in her voice. Dad, please prepare yourself. Try to control your emotions and make sure you don't get too worked up later, or it'll be bad for your health."noveldrama

Irwin nodded. "Alright, Yvie. I'll listen to you!"

He mentally braced himself. Only then did Yvette hand him the information she discovered before directing a sharp gaze at Alex.

"The so-called gratitude you claim you're owed for raising Dad is a lie. Back then, you and your good friend started a business together, but you secretly betrayed him in order to monopolize the company.

"You caused him to not only go bankrupt but also land hundreds of millions of dollars deep in

debt, forcing him to commit suicide. His wife couldn't take the blow and fell seriously ill before passing away shortly after.

"You then proceeded to set your sights on his young son. You adopted his son in order to get your hands on the company shares he left behind-"

"Shut up! I'm telling you to shut up!" The fear and panic on Alex's face intensified with every word out of Yvette's mouth. He hurriedly cut her off, not letting her speak any further.

He'd clearly tied up every single loose end, so how had this bitch dug up the information?

Irwin read through the document in his hands, eyes so wide it looked as if they were about to pop out of his head. His expression was full of pain.

He was that young child who had been adopted...

The man he'd respected for most of his life turned out to be the bastard who had ruined his family!
