Eleanor Hollis stepped back, feeling that fate was playing a huge joke on her. She’s not the daughter of the Hollis Family? She’s an abandoned young woman from the Dawson Family? "But Grandma, I’ve done a paternity test with Nicholas Hollis..." She was still unwilling to believe this truth, speaking in a daze. "Eleanor, I’m sorry, I tampered with the paternity test. If your identity was exposed, it wouldn’t be good for you or the Hollis Family." Bridget Sutton held her hand and gently patted it. "If you blame me, I have nothing to say." Eleanor shook her head, how could she blame this person? If it weren’t for her picking her up from the trash can, she would have been long gone. She closed her eyes, organizing the sequence of events, then pursed her lips. Bridget Sutton suddenly looked much older, not knowing that after so many years, Eleanor’s family would come knocking on the door. The old man watched the two finish speaking and pointed to the sofa opposite him, "Sit down." Eleanor had no choice; everything was clear now. Yet, facing her biological grandfather, she felt no excitement. Back then, she was the child abandoned by the Dawson Family, but why are they seeking her now? "A long time ago, the Dawson Family had no male heirs. In your generation, there’s an even more evident sign of extinction. I’m finding you to tell you that you and your twin sister are both my granddaughters and have the right to inherit the Dawson Family, but the prerequisite is you must have a baby boy. Eleanor, I’ve given only a year and a half; within that time, whoever can give birth to a boy has the right to inherit the Dawson Family." Eleanor strongly resisted the old man’s words, completely treating women as tools for reproduction. Moreover, she had no desire to inherit the Dawson Family at all. With the Hollis Family funds in her hand, she could live lavishly for decades. "Eleanor, do you think anyone can stand beside Hugo Quinn? I suppose you don’t know Hugo’s influence yet. Grandeur is the country’s largest company and has some prestige abroad. Years ago, while founding the company, Hugo offended many people and even accidentally killed the Prince of Y Country during a superior’s mission. Although Hugo did many remedial measures afterward, Y Country has never let go of this grudge and has been secretly expanding its forces over the years, solely to target Hugo." The old man saw Eleanor’s face turn pale instantly, his lips curved slightly. "Grandeur is very stable now, but abroad, the companies have nearly been depleted; Hugo simply hasn’t received the news yet. Next, those people will come to the country, and that will be the deadline for Hugo. I know you have the Hollis Family finance enough for a good life, but Hollis just has money. To protect Hugo, you need power, not money." Y Country? Hugo killed the Prince of Y Country? How come she never heard about it? "How do I know you’re not deceiving me?" She appeared very calm, not letting the old man lead her by the nose. The old man’s lips curved, firmly gripping the cane in his hand. "Hugo will receive the news in at most half a month, and he’ll travel abroad for business. There’s a trap awaiting him there, ensuring his demise. Coincidentally, all Dawson Family industries are located in Y Country, covering nearly every sector. The king will still grant face due to the Dawson Family’s status, just up to you whether you want to become the Dawson Family head." The more he spoke, the darker Eleanor’s expression became. Seeing the old man’s confident demeanor, the truth seemed close. "I will consider it carefully." She stood up, wanting to take Bridget Sutton away, but the old man spoke again. "You may leave, but she needs to stay here. Rest assured, the Dawson Family won’t do anything to her." Eleanor’s chest tightened instantly, worried Bridget Sutton’s ill health would only worsen by staying here.

"No matter what decision you make, Grandma will always support you." Eleanor’s heart warmed as she turned to the old man. "If anything happens to Grandma, I won’t cooperate with your plans." The old man nodded, signaling to have her escorted outside. Ashley Dawson stood up, "Grandfather, I’ll escort my sister out." Ashley familiarly called her sister, but Eleanor sensed the dislike from this person. Understandably so, as they were competitors, probably this sister wished her dead outside. Ashley led her outside the villa, keeping a faint smile on her lips. "Suddenly having a face identical to mine, it’s really annoying. You must think the same, right, sister? If I become the Dawson Family heir, the first thing I’d do is destroy that face of yours." Ashley’s eyes were full of intense killing intent, and Eleanor had no doubt she meant it. She silently got into the car without speaking. Too much happened tonight, beyond her former understanding. She thought everything had settled, but unexpectedly, the Dawson Family emerged. She sighed, returning to the villa and discovering Hugo accompanying Marcus watching anime. "Mommy, didn’t you go to buy yogurt? Why didn’t you bring anything back?" Marcus saw her return empty-handed and puzzledly asked. Hugo also looked over, noticing her unusual mood, promptly stood up. "Were you bullied? Why are your eyes red?" Eleanor suddenly felt like crying, tonight’s events were too bizarre, yet everyone told her it was the truth. Before, she’d always resented her background, but now, all her grievances seemed laughable. Her complaints against Nicholas Hollis and Rachel Lynch were also laughable, for they had no relation whatsoever, Yet unchanged was, she still remained an abandoned child, only the rejecting party switched to the Dawson Family. "No, I just fell outside, and the yogurt got squished." Hugo glanced at her knees, noticing abrasions indeed, quickly fetching the medicine box. "Sit down, I’ll disinfect it for you." Eleanor obediently sat on the sofa, lifting her pants leg. "Next time, if you want to buy yogurt, call me along. Once you leave my sight, you make people worry." Hugo said this while disinfecting, blowing on the wound. Eleanor’s eyes flashed, recalling she agreed to consider seriously, watching to see if Hugo will receive overseas news in half a month. "I’m too clumsy, ow, lighter please." She glared at him, seeing Hugo indeed lightened the pressure, she curled her lips again.
