The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1229

Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Extra Story: [Inspiration] Returns 7

Mr. Quintero’s call to his "Mom" left many present stunned.

Beside him, Mrs. Quintero widened her eyes, cautiously looked at the old lady, then looked again, and a doubt arose in her eyes,

"Mom? No, isn’t your mom in Peaceful City?"

Her mother-in-law, hasn’t she passed away?!

But the old lady in front of them was obviously a ghost!

Just then, Scarlett Jennings spoke up at the right moment,

"He’s not wrong to call her ’Mom’ either."

She said,

"This lady is his former mother-in-law."

Once Scarlett said this, the audience both at the scene and watching the live stream were once again in an uproar. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

[I suspected there was an age gap between Mr. and Mrs. Quintero—turns out it’s a second marriage.]

[Could it be because the old lady was abandoned by her son-in-law who married someone else, that’s why she clung to the children from the later marriage to cause trouble for this family?]

[Not necessarily, the daughter already mentioned that these two have been concealing things, there might be more to it.]

The live-stream chat was buzzing with wild speculations, as Ariel Zimmerman tilted her head and whispered information exchanges with Sebastian Carew and others.

"Last night after Scarlett mentioned it, I suspected something was up, so I searched news about this family on my phone..."

Although speaking softly, Ariel’s voice was loud enough for everyone in the live stream to hear,

"This Mr. Quintero had a previous wife, and it was through her family that he prospered. Later, when her family members all passed away, he inherited all the family’s assets.

About six years ago, his wife died in a car accident, and within half a year he married his current wife, and they had a daughter the next year."

Due to an agreement signed in advance by the program group and the involved parties, allowing such personal privacy to be broadcasted, Ariel dared to disclose what she discovered so frankly.

Even so, it still enabled Sebastian Carew and the live stream viewers to sense a whiff of truth.

After all, from the program group’s introduction, Mr. Quintero was career successful and exceptionally in love with Mrs. Quintero; who would have thought there was such a past?

For a while, the live stream viewers’ imaginations ran wild.

[Here’s my conspiracy theory—what if the husband was cheating within the marriage and caused his wife’s death, and so the mother-in-law comes for revenge?]

[Oh my, isn’t this just taking advantage of the deceased? If it were me, I wouldn’t let him and the mistress have an easy time either.]

[Those scheming men are terrifying.]

Perhaps sensing the situation turning against him, Mr. Quintero suddenly turned and shouted at Ariel,

"My current wife and I only got together after my first wife passed, please don’t make baseless assumptions!"

As a businessman, image is important; he wanted to resolve the issue but didn’t wish for that part of his past to be publicly discussed.

Ariel was momentarily startled by the outburst, and seeing this, Sebastian and others almost simultaneously pulled Ariel behind them.

Sebastian said gravely,

"Mr. Quintero, we are merely analyzing the causes of these troubles in your household from a normal perspective. She was just stating facts, not making mal-intentioned assumptions or exposing anything."

Amber Livingston echoed,

"Moreover, based on the agreement you signed with the program group, you were aware and consented to the involvement of your privacy in the filming."

Dashiell, being more straightforward, walked over to Sebastian and others, hands on hips, and asked Mr. and Mrs. Quintero,

"Are you feeling guilty?"

Mrs. Quintero tugged at her husband, who, face flushed, bit his lip and said bluntly,

"Then I back out, I no longer need your program group’s assistance in resolving this! You..."

Before he could finish, Scarlett Jennings already interrupted,

"I advise Mr. Quintero not to make hasty decisions. With the program group stepping back now, it would only confirm your feeling of guilt, and the online speculations about your family will deepen."
