Chapter 459
Agnes could sense something was off, but she was still in the dark.
Feeling uneasy, Agnes grabbed her phone, with a news alert popping up on the screen.
The headline read, “BREAKING NEWS! The big secret of the Whitfield family – the eldest Whitfield son is actually Alyssa’s biological son.”
Agnes began to tremble as she read the title.
The article revealed things in great detail, telling a story from over twenty years ago. Back then, Alyssa was the Whitfield family’s darling daughter who fell head over heels for a bad boy, got pregnant as a minor, and gave birth to a love child who is now the big shot of the Whitfield family, Jared.
The scoop was as detailed as a dramatic romance novel.
But the birth certificate of Jared from overseas and the records of Alyssa giving birth were dug up, providing irrefutable evidence.
Agnes read every word and every sentence.
To her shock, the article clearly stated that the one who broke the story was none other than the Whitfield family’s young lady, which pointed right at her! Agnes‘ heart sank. She knew this was probably a scoop released by Laura and her daughter, who then pinned the blame on her.
Why else would such news break out late at night right after Laura revealed the secret to her the night before?
No wonder Jared had earlier sarcastically said that she finally–got–what–she wanted!
In fact, when Laura told her the secret yesterday, Agnes couldn’t believe it.
Agnes even suspected that it was just a trick by Laura to drive a wedge between her and Jared.
But with all the evidence exposed today, Agnes finally realized it was true.
Agnes finally understood why Alyssa and her mother, Julia, had such a deep feud back then.
Because Alyssa was carrying Michael Albert’s child.
Jared’s biological father was Michael.
That’s why Michael knelt outside Agnes‘ grandmother’s house for a whole day and night, begging Julia for forgiveness, but Julia still broke up with him in the end.
Michael and Julia had been in love since they were young. Over the years, they had become interdependent and decided to stick together.
Julia was someone who valued feelings deeply. She must have experienced something major to have gone on a hunger strike for so many days and ultimately decide to break up with him, so resolutely.
Now thinking about it, it might have been because Alyssa was pregnant with Michael’s child.
Agnes was not clear about what had happened in the past. It might have been like those soap operas where the heiress falls in love with a bad boy.
Agnes found it very ironic.
She casually scrolled through some entertainment platforms, and the comments about this matter had already exploded.
