Six Years Paul
Chapter 715 Useless Parents
Before Clara had finished speaking. Mason’s figure appeared directly behind Lenny in the entryway
He crossed the room to Amelia’s side, and when he took in the cold tension in her face settled into his eyes.
bing dark
He swept a single, contemptuous look across the couple on the couch. “Are the two of you not fun properly? This is Amelia’s biological father.”
Kennedy and Clara went completely rigid, staring with wide, disbelieving eyes,
When they looked at Lenny’s face and registered the features that mirrored Amelia’s, the shock lasted exactly one second before greed walked in and replaced it entirely.
Kennedy recovered first, his mind immediately started calculating.
He rearranged his face into something approximating warmth and moved toward Lenny with his hand outstretched, smiling like they were old friends. “This is all a misunderstanding! If you’re Amelia’s birth father, then we should talk. We raised her into a fine adult. All we’re asking for is thirty million. You can’t sa that’s unreasonable, can you?”
Lenny looked at him the way a person looks at something they’ve already decided has no value.
“Not unreasonable at all,” he said pleasantly.
Kennedy and Clara’s eyes lit up together. They were already drawing breath to respond when Lenny continued, and the warmth in his voice had gone entirely. “Not unreasonable, as long as you treated my daughter the way a daughter deserves to be treated. If you genuinely raised her as your own, thirty million is nothing. I could give you ten times that.”
Clara had already decided the money was settled and was too busy savoring it to notice the edge that had entered Lenny’s eyes. She planted herself firmly in the position of the wronged party. “What do you mean. treated her well? We knew she wasn’t ours by blood and we still fed her, housed her, and arranged a marriage for her into the Rowe family, one of the most prominent families in Eldoria. She’s the one who couldn’t hold the marriage together. She pushed for the divorce herself.”
Lenny had already had the Harlows’ treatment of Amelia across every year of her life researched and documented. He knew exactly what the picture looked like.
He moved toward the couple one measured step at a time, and the sheer weight of his presence made air in the room feel thinner,
“You pushed her into that marriage so you could use her as a foothold to extract favors from the Rowe
name.”
His voice was quiet and without any emotion except contempt. “You used her like a tool. And now you have the nerve to stand in front of me and talk about what you’re owed?”
Kennedy felt a flash of uncertainty, but he’d spent enough years moving through Eldoria’s moneyed circles to believe he’d seen every kind of powerful man. He ran through the faces he could recall and couldn’t match any of them to the one in front of him.

But this particular specimen still managed to amuse him, and not in a way that carried any
He glanced briefly at Amelia sitting quietly on the couch, and something moved through him that was entirely genuine.
His daughter had grown up in this household, under the influence of these two people, and somehow out of it without becoming anything like them.
He let the amusement go and decided he was done indulging this.
“My name is Lenny Jewell,” he said, without any particular inflection. “If there’s still enough working inside that head of yours. I’d suggest looking me up in Porteria before you question my finances again.
Kennedy froze. The color left his face in one complete and sudden departure, and his voice came out halting.
