Chapter 313 Chapter 313 The mention of Mr. Christensen seemed to wash away sof Darleen's fury.

"Darleen, you're too impulsive," Edna continued. "Can't you stop and think why I had to discipline you? Do you really think there was no reason behind it?" Darleen was still too young. There were so many things she couldn't possibly understand.

"Mom, are you keeping something from me?" Darleen wasn't naive; she instantly picked up on the hidden message in Edna's words.

"Figure it out yourself," Edna stood up, "I need to deliver shomemade chicken soup to your Aunt Janet." "I'm coming too!" Darleen rose to follow but, remembering the bruise on her face, sat back down. Her face was nearly a mess! How could she face anyone now? All because of that wretched old hag. If it weren't for brewing that medicine for her, Edna would've never hit her. Biting her lip, Darleen simmered in silence.

"Better stay home," Edna added. "I'll have someone bring the medicine over." With that, Edna turned and left. Soon, she arrived at the Lindsay residence.

Delia greeted her at the door, "Isn't Darleen skipping school today? Why didn't she cwith you?" Remembering the day's events, Edna sighed, "That child is just too reckless." "What happened?" Delia frowned.

Edna shook her head, "It's pointless to talk about it." As they walked, Gerard Lindsay appeared from inside the house. He passed Edna without a greeting, a slight of disrespect that didn't go unnoticed. Edna was to marry into the Fletcher family, becoming Gerard's stepmother. Gerard was getting out of line! He used to at least pretend to respect her, but now, not even that! Once Gerard was out of earshot, Edna whispered, "Did you keep an eye on that matter I mentioned last time?" Delia checked their surroundings for eavesdroppers, then tiptoed to whisper a few words in Edna's ear. Hearing this, a sly smile curved Edna's lips.

Perfect! Just perfect! Gerard thought he could outsmart her last time? Well, she was eager to see how he'd wriggle out of this one! She was determined to make Jgive up on Gerard as her grandson. Only the child she bore deserved to be the Lindsay family's rightful heir! What was Gerard? Nothing but the offspring of a shameless woman! He should be thrown out of the Lindsay family! Little did they know, Gerard, who should have been far from the Lindsay residence by now, suddenly reappeared behind them. Narrowing his eyes, he had always suspected that his trip to Cloudcrest was sabotaged by Edna, with Delia as her inside woman. Whether his suspicions were correct, he'd soon find out. He needed to prepare the bait and wait for the fish to bite.

In the Lindsay Group's office, Jonah stood before the panoramic window, overlooking the bustling street's m below. Suddenly, his expression changed. He swiftly walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed quickly. Soon, his secretary arrived. "Alva." "Mr. Lindsay, did you need me?" Jonah massaged his temples, "Alva, I can't remember again. I've forgotten Gerry's mother. Who is Gerry's mother? What's her name?"

The car accident nineteen years ago took not only Jonah's leg but half of his life. He spent ten years on a hospital bed before truly waking up. ve Though he woke up, he suffered severe aftereffects due to damage to his cerebellum, leading to partial memory loss. Additionally, he endured phantom limb pain, a torment beyond the ordinary man's endurance.

Before Jonah regained his memory, Jhad always told him Gerry's mother was dead and had been setting him up with Edna. Until m February last year! Jonah' suddenly regained his memory. He remembered the woman he deeply loved. Defying Janet's objections, he went to Cloudcrest to find Carole, taking a sample of the child's hair for DNA testing. He hoped for a family reunion once the results cback. But fate played a cruel joke on Jonah. Ashburn >
