Chapter 719 The Truth Finally Emerges

Jasmine frowned, looking at Ethan.

Was he finally going to reveal the truth?

Ethan looked coldly at Mark. "How could he be a member of the Douglas family?"

Daniel was also stunned, frowning nervously at Mark, and whispered, "Stop talking."

He wasn't Howard's son; the paternity test was right there.

Mark raised his hand, signaling Daniel to stop talking.

Mark snorted. "Ethan, your grandfather didn't have just one son."

Ethan's face grew darker.

"Back then, your grandpa William, just a young guy heading to the big city, already had a wife and kid back in Bostan. The customs there were old-school; if a couple swore before God, they were considered married and didn't know they had to register it." Mark scoffed. "Ambitious and tired of the village's poverty, he took off, leaving his pregnant wife behind. She waited for him like a fool every day, but he never came back."

Mark sneered and stood up. "The wife raised the child alone, received news of William's death, and was heartbroken. She didn't remarry but instead raised the child alone through hardship."

"Many years later, the son she gave birth to fell seriously ill with meningitis, a deadly disease at that time."

As Mark spoke, his eyes were filled with hatred.

"The wife begged and borrowed money to get her sick son to San Fransisco for treatment. She worked multiple jobs to stay with him in the hospital. One day, she saw a man in the hotel who looked like her husband but had a different name. Later, William recognized her and gave her money, telling her to take their child back to Bostan and pretend they had never met."

By then, William had a new family
