Chapter 468: The End Of Briena And Clara

The Browns were gone, while the Fords were not in a good situation either. Someone who had been waiting and worrying for her son finally arrived at the Ford Mansion—Sephina Ford.

"What are you doing here?" Clara asked.

"I’m here to see my son, and this time you can’t stop me," Sephina said coldly.

Since Jay got sick, Sephina had barely met him once or twice. When she decided to take her son away with her—knowing he was being neglected here—she was denied even the right to see him, let alone take him away.

Clara had been worried that Sephina might find out the reason for his illness: that she had been giving Jay Ford drugs.

"And what gave you the confidence that I’ll let you take my husband away?" Clara asked wickedly.

Sephina, a prideful woman, kept her calm. "Your husband? A woman like you, who brings her lover back to take her husband’s place—you dare still call yourself his wife?"

"You—"

"I have something for you," Sephina said, and Clara’s cell phone beeped with a message.

There was a video recording of Clara telling Briena that Larry was her biological father, and that she had forged the DNA report with Jay to make Briena appear as his daughter.

Clara was shocked. Who recorded this?

Sephina spoke, "I left this home, but the people working here are still loyal to me. Do you think I didn’t know what’s going on? I was just patiently waiting for you to make a mistake."

Clara, shocked, almost marched toward the old woman, but the guards Sephina had brought with her entered the drawing room.

Sephina offered her a warning gaze. "Clara, I don’t care what you do with your life or the leftovers of the Ford Group. Neither do I care that Briena is not Jay’s daughter. All I want is to take my son with me. If you deny it, I will make sure this video clip goes viral—and you know what will happen after that."

It was enough to scare Clara. This might destroy her last hope of holding on to the Ford Group. She finally allowed Sephina to take Jay Ford away, in exchange for her silence about Larry.

Just as Sephina was leaving, with a guard pushing the wheelchair in which a weak-looking Jay was sitting, Briena entered the drawing room. The moment she saw Sephina, she rushed toward her.

"Grandma, please save me! Mom wants me to marry that old man, Peter Eli," Briena cried out. "I don’t want to marry him. I’m still so young..."

"I am not your grandmother," Sephina said coldly, "and you know it better."

Briena’s teary eyes turned shocked and sad. "G-Grandma... you always loved me..."

"For that, I’m already being punished," Sephina said sharply. "Jay and I have no relationship with you. Don’t you ever show up in front of me again."

With that, Sephina left with Jay. She took him to her home in the village. Though he was not her biological son, she had raised him like one. The mother inside her could never stop thinking of him as her own. Her heart hurt to see him live like this, but she was sure—with proper treatment—he would get better.

At the Ford Mansion.

"Mom, I’m telling you—I’m not marrying that disgusting old man," Briena cried out.

Slap!

Clara slapped her hard and said, "So you want both of us to beg on the streets?"

"Mom..."

"He’s the only one who’s ready to help us now. And he agreed only on one condition—marrying you and having his kids," Clara replied. "That old man will die soon, and with his kids, you can enjoy his wealth."

"His kids? That disgusting old man..."

"You slept with that old man—the movie director. What’s new for you?" Clara spat out in frustration.

"Mom, how can you—"
