The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 722

He never imagined that Adela wasn't his biological mother at all.

The blood drained from his face.

"The Lee family's closet is already overflowing with skeletons," Lance stated flatly. "I don't even need to exaggerate."

He disdained using fabricated evidence anyway.

Lemuel's tall frame seemed to deflate, a profound sense of defeat washing over him.

"Expose everything Geoffrey and his wife have done to you, and you can escape the Lee family's clutches once and for all. With your intellect, your future is limitless. I'll even give you a push in the right direction."

Lance laid out the benefits of their alliance.

As for the consequences of refusing, Lance didn't need to spell them out; Lemuel would be left with absolutely nothing.

"Do you... also know who my real mother is?" Lemuel asked.

Lance nodded. "If you want to see her, I can arrange it right now—"

"No!" Lemuel cut him off sharply. "I don't want to see her."

"I'll give you one night to think it over. If you agree, be at my office at eight tomorrow morning. If not, don't bother showing up again."

Lance wasn't going to force him. After all, Lemuel wasn't his only card to play.

After sending Lemuel away, Lance had Aaron contact Golden Horizon Enterprises. He offered them a prime piece of real estate in exchange for taking over the Southeast Expansion Project, effectively replacing Golden Horizon as the Lee Group's partner.

He gave Hammer the same one-night ultimatum.

"Have you gotten through to the orphanage director?" Lance asked Aaron.
