The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Liam Sloan’s Defense

Ethan Sloan exploded with rage!!

’Nathaniel Sloan has no interest in the Sloan Group?! The Sloan Group is at the height of its power, and he dares to say he’s not interested?!’

’He had poured his heart and soul into the Sloan Group. It might not have been much in the past, but in recent years, it had become one of the biggest conglomerates in Crestfall!’

’But everyone said he only managed to grow the Sloan Group by riding on Nathaniel Sloan’s coattails. Ethan had always dismissed them. This was all his own doing, so what did it have to do with Nathaniel?!’

But now, Ethan felt a surge of rage choke him.

’By what right does Nathaniel look down on the Sloan Group? By what right! No, no, it must be a lie. How could Nathaniel possibly not care about a prize like the Sloan Group? But no matter. He would leave it all to Theodore!’

...

The Sloan villa.

Laura Jennings came downstairs. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw her visitors, and she hurried over, fawning. "Theodore!"

Theodore Lancaster had arrived with the Second Miss Lancaster, a woman in her forties.

The Second Miss Lancaster, Yvonne Lancaster, was dripping with jewels. Her entire ensemble screamed of the favored status she enjoyed in both the Lancaster family and her husband’s family.

Yvonne Lancaster sized Laura Jennings up. Truthfully, she looked down on this sort of hysterical shrew, but the thought that the bitch Miranda Lancaster had died because of Laura made Yvonne crack a condescending smile.

"Mrs. Sloan, our Theodore is the one and only true heir to the Sloan family. I hope you all don’t alienate Theodore because you’re reluctant to part with Nathaniel."

Laura Jennings quickly tried to curry favor. "No, no, of course not. We all know Theodore is the heir. Nathaniel is just an illegitimate son, that’s all."

Laura put on a sad face. "Speaking of which, I’m the one who wronged that boy, Theodore. If Nathaniel hadn’t incited me to marry Ethan back then, Theodore wouldn’t have lost his mother and been forced to live elsewhere. Sigh!"

"It’s all my fault. I’m the one who ruined the relationship between Ethan and Miss Lancaster. It’s all my fault!"

Yvonne Lancaster gave a faint smile and said placatingly, "Mrs. Sloan, how could this be your fault? It’s not like you did it on purpose. Besides, you’ve been repenting for so many years. That’s enough."

Laura Jennings wrung her hands. When her gaze met Theodore Lancaster’s cold eyes, she felt an irresistible urge to ingratiate herself with him.

Just then, Liam Sloan walked in, yawning, and immediately saw the people in the living room.

Before he could say a word, Theodore Lancaster looked up. "So this is Liam Sloan?"

Liam Sloan looked back at Theodore, not immediately recognizing who he was. But Laura Jennings had already jumped in eagerly, "Yes, yes, this is Liam."

Then she turned to Liam. "Liam, come here. This is Theodore. Greet your older brother."

Liam: ?

’Theodore Lancaster? The legitimate son who just came home? The biological son of his scumbag dad’s original wife, Miss Miranda Lancaster?’

Laura Jennings was already fawning over Theodore. "Theodore, what would you like to drink? Would you like some fruit? I can go get some for you."

Theodore said coolly, "Whatever."

"Of course, of course," Laura said quickly. "I’ll go make you some tea right away."

Liam: "...??"

’Liam’s mind was filled with question marks.’

’Wait a second, isn’t his mom the mistress?’

’Why are the mistress and the original wife’s son getting along so well?’

’Anyone who didn’t know better would think Theodore was his mother’s biological son.’

Just then, Laura Jennings returned with a platter of fruit. "Liam, I’m talking to you. Why are you just standing there in a daze?"

"Back then, the Lancaster family saw that Mrs. Sloan had no intention of scheming for a higher position, so we considered sending Theodore back to the Sloans. But who would have known that a five-year-old Nathaniel would oppose it so fiercely?"

Yvonne shook her head with deliberate gravity. "He said that if Theodore dared to return, he would find a way to kill him. How could we possibly risk Theodore’s life like that!"

Laura Jennings immediately chimed in. "That’s right! Liam, now you know why I was never close to Nathaniel, even when he was a child, don’t you? I’m his biological mother! If he hadn’t been so outrageous, with such a malicious heart from a young age, how could I have ever brought myself to distance myself from my own son?"

’The amusement in Liam’s heart turned to ice, but his face remained a mask of vacant innocence.’

"Oh, so that’s what happened."

"Exactly. Now that Theodore is back, it’s time for Nathaniel to atone for his sins." Laura turned to Yvonne, her expression one of feigned solidarity.

"Mrs. Lancaster, even though you said we should leave some shares for Nathaniel, as his biological mother, I feel we absolutely cannot leave him anything. What if it just fuels his ambition?"

"Theodore is Ethan’s true heir, after all. He has suffered so much injustice over the years. How can we possibly treat him unfairly now?"

Yvonne pretended to be moved, but inwardly, she was gloating. She had already defeated Miranda in this life, and now Nathaniel... HAHAHA!

Yvonne was in high spirits, feeling that victory was within her grasp. "Let’s discuss it further when my brother-in-law gets back. Mrs. Sloan, it’s the thought that counts."

Laura pretended to wipe away a tear. "Yes, yes... What can be done? Nathaniel is the illegitimate one, after all."

’Watching the two of them put on their hypocritical act, Liam couldn’t help but sneer.’

’Heh. The Sloan Group? The inheritance? The shares?’

’In all these years, had his brother ever shown the slightest interest in anything the Sloan Group had to offer?’

Just then, Laura said something that made Yvonne laugh. "Exactly, Theodore. Once we’ve done Mr. Lynch a favor, do you think he won’t support you?"

Liam’s ears perked up. ’Mr. Lynch?’
