Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 768

Shockingly, Evelyn marched right up to Ethan and slapped him hard across the face.

Smack!

The sharp crack echoed in the air. Even Elena hadn't expected it.

"Evelyn, what the hell are you doing?!" Elena demanded in shock.

"Who told him he could hit my boyfriend?!"

"Are you out of your mind? He's your biological brother! Does your own flesh and blood mean less to you than some outsider you met a few days ago?"

Evelyn snorted dismissively. "Max isn't an outsider. He's the man I love. We're getting married soon, so he'll be family anyway!"

Elena could hardly believe it. She hadn't realized this aggressive, overbearing heiress was so completely blinded by love.

She had no idea what kind of manipulation Max had used to get Evelyn so utterly devoted to him.

"Evelyn, no matter what, he's your brother. You can't just hit him like that!" Dylan stepped in.

Evelyn crossed her arms and lifted her chin arrogantly. "You two are just playing the good guys. Don't think I don't see right through it. My mom might buy your act, but I certainly don't!"

With that, Evelyn grabbed Max and stormed off.

"Max, are you okay? Let me see, did he do any serious damage?" Evelyn gently cradled Max's face, her eyes filled with distress.

Max looked slightly irritated. "I'm fine, stop fussing. A scratch like this is nothing for a real man."

He remembered the time Elena had ruthlessly taken down those thugs in the alley. If a woman could be that tough, a man should be even tougher.

He genuinely wasn't bothered by the minor injury.

"By the way, your brother... is his mind really gone?" Max asked.

"Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

"I just have this feeling he isn't as mindless as he lets on."

Sean didn't resemble him in the slightest; he had entirely inherited his mother's dangerously alluring features.

They always said a man with a woman's beauty was destined to be a disaster.

Coupled with his deep disdain for Sean's Mother—a lowly bar hostess—he had never harbored even an ounce of affection for this son.

Tracing his lineage back, the Maddox family ancestors had been high-ranking officials in the Serene Empire.

Furthermore, the Maddox family claimed descent from the imperial royalty of the Serene Empire; they had simply changed their surname over the years.

In his eyes, his status was far too exalted to have ever fathered a child with a cheap prostitute.

Back then, if the DNA results hadn't been shoved in his face, he absolutely never would have believed this child shared his blood.

"Chairman Maddox, what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" Sean asked, a faint smile on his lips as he looked at the older man.

Christopher let out a heavy sigh. "I know everything about Lucas. I can't believe you destroyed him like this. Do you realize that for the rest of his life, he'll be nothing but a cripple confined to a bed? And he can never have children!"
