Fake Daughter Is The Real Legend (Iris Sutton) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 The Heiress

“Rum Young? Do you even realize what you’re saving”

Grandma Avelin stared at her daughter in disbeliet

It was the first time she had ever called Rumm by her full name.

Rumi’s husband gently squeezed her hand and stepped in to explain.

“Mom, please don’t be angry Rum and her brother have always been close. She just spoke out of impulse.”

Grandma Evelyn took several sips of water before finally calming down.

She looked at her son and daughter with deep disappointment.

One was a failure

The other was no better.

“Mom, you can’t really send my brother to the police, can you?” Rumi persisted. “What would people say about the Young family afterward?”

She refused to back down.

“We’ll keep a close eye on him. He’ll never do anything like this again.”

“That’s right! I’ll change! I swear I will!”

Catching the look his sister shot him, Rupert immediately nodded and rushed to express his determination.

Grandma Evelyn’s expression hardened.

“So you’re saying the harm done to the Noir family should simply be ignored?”

For years, she had struggled with one question:

Who should inherit the Young family after she was gone?

After tonight, she was more convinced than ever that neither of her children was fit to lead a family of this

Rupert’s gambling problem wasn’t something that could be corrected overnight.

Worse, his character was fundamentally flawed.

The Young family could never be entrusted to him.

As for Kumm.

Chapter 270 The Heiress

Thinking of her daughter, Grandma Evelyn let out a long sigh.

Even the younger members of the collateral branches were less disappointing than her own children

“We cannot overlook Rupert’s actions,” she declared. “If we do, what will the outside world think the Young family?”

Her voice became firm.

“You will turn yourself in.”

She pointed her cane toward Rupert.

“Tomorrow morning. Make sure someone keeps an eye on him.”

The cane struck the floor heavily once more, bringing the matter to a close.

Rumi wanted to continue pleading for her brother, but her husband tugged gently at her arm.

In the end, she remained silent.

“We’ll take our leave now.”

Iris understood that Grandma Evelyn had called her here tonight not only to explain the situation but also to show her where the family stood.

Julie was about to get up and escort them out when Grandma Evelyn stopped them.

“Iris, Julie–come with me. I have something I’d like to discuss.”

The two exchanged a glance before helping her toward the bedroom.

Once inside, Iris helped Grandma Evelyn sit down while Julie went to prepare tea.

“Iris,” Grandma Evelyn said softly, “I know you’re a good child. What happened was my son’s fault.”

Iris nodded. “I don’t blame the Young family.”

Grandma Evelyn’s eyes softened.

The girl had understood the unspoken meaning behind her words.

That only made her more relieved.

“You’ve seen the state of the family today. My health isn’t good, and I no longer have the energy to handle endless family matters.”

She paused.

“I don’t know who I should entrust the Young family to

No matter who she considered, none of the candidates reassured her.

Following her gaze, Iris looked toward Julie.

“You want Julie to inherit?”

Although Julie wasn’t necessarily the ideal choice either.

She was still young and could easily be manipulated by other family members.

But given the Young family’s current situation, there didn’t seem to be a better option.

“No.” Grandma Evelyn shook her head. “I mean you.”

Iris turned back sharply.

Only then did she realize Grandma Evelyn’s clear, unwavering gaze had settled entirely on her.

“I’m afraid that’s not something I can

Truthfully, Iris didn’t want to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

She already had too many things demanding her time and attention.

She couldn’t devote herself to managing the Young family as well.

“Don’t reject it so quickly.”

Grandma Evelyn reached out and clasped Iris’s hands.

Her palms were warm.

The touch reminded Iris of her late grandmother.

“You said Rupert still has an accomplice who’s missing, didn’t you?”

Grandma Evelyn continued,

“Grandma, please don’t say that.” Iris gently covered the older woman’s wrinkled hand with her own. “Il do it.”

“Why are you crying?” She hurried over with a handkerchief. “Were you just so happy to see Iris that you got emotional?”

“Of course we do! She’s saved my life several times, We’re practically bonded for lite.”
