From Illegitimate To A Zillionaire Heir CHAPTER 128
Tedmond stood still, his expression calm, as everyone kept staring at the door. A few moments passed, and murmurs began to ripple through the crowd.“He’s bluffing.”“I told you it was fake.”“Such a loser. How embarrassing.”“He acted so tough and sure that Mr. Ginny would show up.”“That’s why you have to be realistic when dealing with things,” a woman said, flashing her newly done nails. “How can a loser like him actually get Mr. Ginny here? He is just rude nonsense!”“Yes! Look at him acting all arrogant and perfect when it was all fake.”The crowd looked at him, disgust settling in their eyes. Some of them had anticipated that there was no way Mr. Ginny would show up just because of a kid’s call, but a few had hoped to be surprised and actually see Mr. Ginny appear.However, Tedmond had not only wasted their time, but he had also made them regret even thinking he could pull it off.Carlos smirked and folded his arms. “Well, Tedmond, what do you have to say for yourself now? Time’

The triplets raised their heads to look at Tedmond. For a moment, they thought he might have been the one behind it, but they snapped out of that thought almost immediately.The way Tedmond was looking at them made them uneasy. It was as if he couldn’t wait for them to answer the call.‘Ahh, there’s no way that loser did something,’ Carles thought, his eyes trailing from Tedmond to his phone. ‘It must be a coincidence.’‘I’m thinking way too much,’ Carlos muttered, raising his hand with the phone in it.“I’ll put the phone on speaker to show that it’s just a coincidence the modeling company called!” Carlos announced, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. “This will prove that he’s just bluffing!”Tedmond glanced down at Bianca, who was grinning from ear to ear. Just looking at her made the smirk leave his face.She looked even more excited than he did, which made him feel awkward that she found this more entertaining than he did.“We don’t need evidence to know he’s bluffing!” s

The triplets fell silent the moment Mr. Ginny finished yelling. Finn gulped, his hands trembling as he avoided everyone's gaze, not wanting to be reminded that he was the one who decided to mess with Tedmond, while the twins were merely supporting him.“Mr. Ginny is so terrifying,” Bianca mumbled to Tedmond.Tedmond glanced down at Bianca. “Perhaps he’s finally snapped at them.”Mr. Ginny shifted his gaze to Tedmond. “How about we discuss what you really want in private?” he suggested. “I don’t know the full story of what happened, but I have an idea of what it was. I’d like to offer some compensation.”With that, he pulled out a black card and held it out to Tedmond. “You said I should compensate you for my son’s behavior by paying for your dinner, but I arrived later than you expected, causing me to lose the contract—one of the most important in my company.”Sweat trickled down Mr. Ginny’s face. Although he sounded composed, he was trembling inside. Another mistake could mean the de

The manager, who had tried to gain favor with everyone, clasped his hands together in frustration. Not only had he failed to curry favor with the Ginny family, but he had also diminished the goodwill he might have earned from Tedmond."The triplets are ready to apologize," Mr. Ginny informed Tedmond. "Look, they’re heading over now."The triplets exchanged a glance with their father before reluctantly stepping forward. After all, Tedmond had promised to return the contract to them if they apologized."We’re sorry for insulting you," Carlos said, trying to sound sincere. "We made a grave mistake. Could you please forgive us?""Please," Carles added. "We’ll make sure this never happens again. We won’t get in your way or show our faces to you anymore.""That’s right," Carly chimed in. "We’re deeply sorry for the terrible things we said and for trying to embarrass you in front of everyone, even when you were trying to ignore us."Tedmond scrutinized them carefully. So far, they hadn’t men

Now that the drama had ended, the customers were beginning to leave. Many plates of food had gone cold as people had been too engrossed in the confrontation to eat, leaving several tables unoccupied.‘He asked me for a seat?’ the manager thought, feeling a surge of hope. ‘This is my chance to win his favor.’“How about I arrange a VIP room for you both?” he suggested eagerly. “It’ll be more private and comfortable than sitting here among the crowd. What do you think? Isn’t that a great idea?”Tedmond and Bianca exchanged a look, raising their eyebrows at the manager.‘Did I say something wrong?’ the manager wondered, starting to panic. He quickly tried a different tactic.“The VIP room will be in the house. Trust me, it’s—”“No, thanks!” Tedmond and Bianca replied in unison, cutting him off.Dejected, the manager stared at them with concern in his eyes. “Why not? There’s no reason for you to turn down my offer. I’ll make sure you have an experience unlike any other.”Tedmond arched an

A frown crossed Finn’s face as his legs trembled. He tried to lower his leg but paused, knowing it might cause him to take a step forward. And if he took that step, it would mean ruining his family’s business.“You can move as much as you want,” Tedmond taunted, a smirk on his lips. “No one asked you not to.”With that, Tedmond rose to his feet and held out a hand for Bianca. She hesitated for a moment but then placed her hand in his. As soon as she stood, Tedmond scooped her up into his arms and strode toward the exit.“Meet me at school, Finn,” Tedmond called over his shoulder, a sly smile on his face. “You’d better come find me, or you might regret it.”Finn’s frown deepened as he forced himself to stay rooted to the spot. He nodded hesitantly, watching as Tedmond disappeared through the restaurant doors without looking back. Once Tedmond was out of sight, Finn finally allowed himself to set his foot down, his heart pounding in his chest.He exhaled sharply, his gaze darting nervou

Thomas glanced at Tedmond with a confused look on his face as soon as the question left his lips.Seeing Thomas silent, Tedmond raised his head to look at him, only to be met with a confused and curious stare. Thomas looked at him like he had just asked something he wasn’t supposed to.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Tedmond asked in confusion.“Did you want to go to the company since they’re there to ask for your hand in marriage?” Thomas replied with a question. “Do you know it’s insulting for them to think about that, let alone approach you like that?”Tedmond’s confused expression turned into one of fear as he looked at Thomas. The beaming look was gone from Thomas’s face, and he looked really pissed—his eyes dark, and his brows twitching in anger.“How dare they try to propose to you in the first place?” Thomas asked. “Did you give off the vibe that you might be interested in their daughter? How dare they think that she is good enough for you? Is that how much they look do
From Illegitimate To A Zillionaire Heir CHAPTER 135
“You don’t need to go to the company in person,” Thomas said, standing in front of Tedmond, who was crouched in front of Bianca at the front door. “Lora can handle everything properly.”Tedmond, already dressed for work in a tailored suit and polished shoes, exuded elegance. His slicked-back hair completed his model-like appearance.Raising his head to look at Thomas, Tedmond offered a small smile. “I know that, but I need to hear about the GNN incident in person. It’s better for me to handle it myself.”He had received a message from GNN clarifying the rumors, but he wasn’t sure how the situation had been resolved and wanted to confirm it himself.Not only that, Tedmond intended to hand over the recording he had obtained from the Griffin mansion to Duncan, letting him handle it however he wished. If he wanted to strike back at the Griffin family, he might as well let someone else do the dirty work for him.Of course, he couldn’t tell Thomas about his plans. If Thomas found out, Bianc

"He killed her, and his family covered it up," the lawyer continued bitterly. "They even said her death worked in their favor—that it saved them the trouble."Oscar glanced at the man, studying the expression on his face—grief twisted with anger.He had always known Otis could be cruel, but he hadn't expected him to go that far. He never imagined things would spiral this badly.“What are you going to do now?” Oscar asked quietly. “I don’t know much about you… I haven’t used your services before.”The lawyer turned to him. For a moment, he said nothing. Then, a thin, cold smile crept across his face.“Right,” he said. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Benedict Hall.”Oscar blinked. He couldn’t believe he had never even known the lawyer’s name.“I’m the family’s retainer. I’ve handled estate filings, minor disputes, and contracts.”Oscar raised a brow. “Are you still going to work for the family?”Benedict hesitated before giving a slow nod. “Yes. I suppose that’s something I have to keep d
CHAPTER 251
Oscar nodded.“Those bastards,” she muttered under her breath. “All of this happened because Otis was stupid enough to get himself that badly injured just to get back at Tedmond—and it didn’t even work. Why are they ganging up on me? If I hadn’t done what I did, Otis wouldn’t even be alive.”“Well, I was the one who prepared the documents,” Adeline continued, waving her hand dismissively. “If I hadn’t prepared them, that bastard wouldn’t have donated his blood. But I had no idea the documents were valid.”She dropped her fork and groaned.“The document shouldn’t have been valid if Otis didn’t sign it,” she added. “We even took the copy that was handed to him while he was unconscious and destroyed it. There’s no way he could have gotten all of Otis’s assets. And the lawyer told me the document can’t be used legally.”At the mention of the lawyer, Oscar’s brows rose. “The lawyer said that?”Adeline nodded. “Yes. He was the one who drafted the document to fool Tedmond.”“I see,” Oscar re

Adeline paced back and forth in her room, her fingers pressed against her lips as she tried to think. So far, she hadn’t come up with a single idea.“It was all his fault!” she yelled, running a hand through her hair, her face twisted in fury.Her room was a disaster—just like her mind.Pillows were strewn across the floor, the bedsheets half-hanging as if yanked in a fit of rage. One of the dresser drawers had been pulled out and tossed aside, its contents—scarves, papers, and makeup—spilled and trampled underfoot. A long crack ran across the mirror above the vanity, a reminder of the moment she had flung a bottle at it.Clothes clung limply to the edges of chairs, the wardrobe doors flung open, one hanging precariously by a hinge. Books lay scattered against the wall, their spines bent, pages torn. The once-scented candles were now just puddles of broken wax on her desk.She stepped over a shattered perfume bottle, its sharp scent still lingering in the air—mixing with the bitterne
CHAPTER 249
Otis's breath caught in his throat. The very sight of Tedmond standing in the doorway—calm, composed, and eerily confident—made his blood boil.“What the hell are you doing here?” Otis barked, yanking the sheets off his legs like he intended to get out of bed.“There’s no need to get up,” Tedmond said before Otis could move further. “I just came to check up on you, since I happened to be so kind and thoughtful.”Hearing that, Otis couldn’t help but feel livid. He had already seen the article, had heard others call Tedmond ‘thoughtful and kind’—but hearing it straight from Tedmond’s mouth made his skin crawl.“What the heck happened?!” Otis demanded. “Did you get them to write that article just to frame me?!”“What do you mean me framing you?” Tedmond asked, arching a brow.He paused for a moment, thoughtful. He had assumed Otis must’ve seen the news—the countless notifications about losing everything. But it seemed Otis hadn’t.After waking up hours earlier, Tedmond had already finali
CHAPTER 248
The thought of Tedmond being punished brought a satisfied smile to Otis's face. As long as he was still Otis, the family would care for him and make sure he was well taken care of while he was unconscious.‘Tedmond must’ve been tied up and kept in custody—just in case I woke up. Then I’d decide what to do with him,’ Otis thought, lips curling into a smirk.Growing impatient, he glanced toward the door, wondering what was taking so long. Even the nurse who went to fetch the doctor hadn’t returned yet. He was starting to worry.‘Maybe I’m still dreaming,’ he thought.Just then, the door opened, and the doctor walked in. It was Dr. Richie, wearing a serious expression.Seeing him, Otis relaxed. Richie was their family doctor—someone he trusted. There was no need to worry.“How long was I asleep?” Otis asked.“Forty-eight hours,” Dr. Richie replied, walking over to check on him.“Forty-eight hours?!” Otis yelled, stunned.Two whole days. It felt like much longer. Hearing it had only been
CHAPTER 247
Even though Tedmond had looked strong earlier when he was discharged from the hospital, the moment his body hit the bed, he couldn’t deny how exhausted he was.He would have fallen asleep right away if not for the fact that he still had to eat—otherwise, Persis would wake him up before he got any real rest.So, he lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling.As soon as he closed his eyes and opened them again, everything around him blurred.His limbs felt heavy, and a strange chill ran through his body. The last thing he remembered was the sound of his own heartbeat—faint and sluggish.He had donated three full bags of blood—far more than any normal person should.Though he hadn’t said it out loud, just standing up earlier had taken sheer willpower. His body was running on empty.But still, he couldn’t understand why he felt that weak. The doctor had said he had more blood than the average person, and even if that wasn’t true, it still didn’t explain the overwhelming weakness.Unless... som
CHAPTER 246
Before Tedmond left, he stopped by Otis’s ward—and to his surprise, none of the family members were there.He had thought they all cared about Otis, which was why they had ganged up on him. But it turned out they didn’t care about Otis at all. They probably just wanted to keep him alive for their own reasons.Standing at the doorway, Tedmond looked in and saw Otis lying on the bed, the blood transfusion steadily flowing into his veins. His frown deepened.Not only had Otis harmed him to get him in trouble with the relatives, but he had also ended up receiving his blood. The memory made Tedmond feel irritated all over again.However, on second thought, he felt a bit better. He had managed to take a small dose of revenge on Otis. Once everything in Otis's name was transferred to him, Tedmond doubted the family would have any use for Otis anymore.Just then, Tedmond recalled the seal on the document. Adeline wasn’t the type to make a mistake, especially not by stamping a forged document.
CHAPTER 245
“Young Master, the documents are real—but the signature on the final page… it’s forged.”Thomas’s voice was cautious but steady.Tedmond’s frown deepened. “Forged?”“Yes,” Thomas confirmed. “The rest of the paperwork is legitimate—real estate records, asset transfers, bank notifications. Everything checks out. But the final signature... it’s not Otis’s. Someone replicated it. Expertly, I might add.”Tedmond sat still for a moment, his eyes fixed on the wall across from him. His fingers drummed against the armrest of the chair.“So they tried to trick me,” he muttered, a cold smile forming on his lips. “They thought I wouldn’t check.”“You did the right thing by sending it to me,” Thomas said. “If you had submitted that document anywhere official, they could’ve accused you of attempted fraud.”Tedmond leaned back. “Which means they never intended to hand over Otis’s assets in the first place. It was just bait.”“Yes.”He narrowed his eyes. “Let them come and try to retrieve it, then.”
CHAPTER 244
Adeline had thought it all through before deciding to provide the fake documents. And since Tedmond didn’t question it and even took his own copy, it was easy for her to realize that he had no idea whether the documents were valid or not.“How would he know?” she asked herself, her lips stretching into a wide grin. “He took the file from me without knowing it was fake.”Hearing that, the rest of the family grew curious. Harold, however, frowned almost immediately.‘Does that mean Tedmond didn’t manage to snatch anything?’ Harold thought, disliking the idea.“What are you talking about?” Tina asked, still not getting it. “How are the documents fake?”Gerald ran a hand through his hair. He had been terrified for a moment, but it seemed Otis’s assets were still safe.“I think I understand what she means,” Gerald spoke up. “Since Otis isn’t conscious and, as his father, I didn’t sign the document, there’s no way Tedmond would get all of Otis’s assets.”That was when the others smiled, mo
