The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Mm-hmm, Aunt York, What Do You Say?

Mia’s words instantly silenced the room.

Thea’s face turned pale. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and her lips trembled. For a long moment, she couldn’t utter a single word.

The viewers in the live stream chat found it strange, too.

[Could this Thea York be doing this on purpose? Don’t forget, everyone, Scott York is the grandson of the original wife, while Thea is the mistress’s daughter. Their positions are naturally opposed.]

[Exactly, I refuse to believe Thea is that kind. The York Family is run by the mistress and her illegitimate daughter now. With a legitimate grandson from the original wife suddenly appearing, how could Thea, the illegitimate one, not resent him?]

[I heard the York Group’s shareholders are actually really unhappy with Thea and want to groom the son left behind by the eldest young master—that is, Scott. Could it be that Thea wants to ruin Scott’s reputation and raise him to be a failure because of this?]

[Exactly. She won’t even let him eat the nutritious meals at kindergarten. Besides, what does a child know? They believe whatever adults tell them. If Thea tells Scott day in and day out that he’s useless, won’t he grow up thinking he’s useless? The power of words is sometimes stronger than anyone imagines.]

[In that case, Thea’s intentions are downright evil!]

Of course, Thea’s fans also chimed in to defend her.

Back at the inn, now that Scott’s innocence was proven, the looks everyone gave Thea grew even stranger.

Mia pretended not to notice the look on Thea’s face. Tilting her head, she asked, "Aunt York, can’t you think of anything to say?"

"Ahem, Mia." Zachery suddenly spoke up. "Actually, I know why Aunt York did it!"

All eyes turned to Zachery.

A five-year-old couldn’t possibly say something like, ’Thea is deliberately ruining Scott to take over the York Family.’

So, Zachery said, "That’s because Aunt York is a thief, of course!"

...

...

!!

All the parents froze, their eyes widening in shock!

Zachery offered some ’kind’ advice. "Aunt York, you can’t just assume your nephew is a thief because you are one. They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but Scott isn’t your son. He’s just your nephew, right?"

Thea’s expression stiffened. ’What in the world? What is Zachery talking about!’

But before she could speak, Christian was already musing aloud, "Ah, that’s right. How could I forget? Aunt York stole Aunt Sophie Foster’s bracelet. Since Aunt York has a record... maybe she was projecting and that’s why she misunderstood Scott."

What did he mean by... Thea was projecting?

Mia nodded eagerly. "Christian is right. Aunt York probably thinks that the only way to get something is to steal it, so that’s why she misunderstood Scott."

"Scott, you shouldn’t blame Aunt York. She didn’t frame you on purpose. It’s just who she is, so she assumes you’re the same way. Sob, sob, poor Aunt York."

They say kids have no filter, but this was taking it to another level...

Did anyone still not understand?

What the three children were implying was that since Thea herself was a habitual thief, she assumed Scott was one as well—

But Mia had also recited the saying: ’Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a rat’s son knows how to dig holes.’

Scott wasn’t Thea’s son. He was the son of Thea’s older brother—the legitimate heir of the York Family, who had died under mysterious circumstances!

Therefore, Scott’s parents were the ’dragons and phoenixes.’

So what did that make Thea?

What did that make the mistress’s family?

They were, of course, the ’rats’ who had stolen someone else’s life.

OOF... The damage this kid Mia could inflict was immense.
