Chapter 297

After a brief silence, Jennifer let out a long sigh and announced in a deep voice, "You've done a lot. It's

time for you to stop."

At that, Eddie, who finally managed to pull himself together, had a grave look on his face. "Huh, I've not

seen you for so long, and I'm surprised that you're still alive! I thought that you were long dead!"

"I'm only a few years older than you. If you're still well and alive, what makes you think that I'm already

dead?" She scoffed and ignored his sarcastic remarks.

With that, she was done talking nonsense with him and started lecturing him. "Are you done with your

heinous acts? Not only have you turned the Fraser Family upside down, but you even poisoned the

innocent! I think that you have forgotten all about our family rules! Our family did not dabble in this field

for you to harm others! Hurry up and hand over the antidote!"

Eddie was filled with rage upon hearing Jennifer's remarks. "You're not part of the Scott-Tutton Family

anymore, so don't bring up the family rules in front of me! You aren't even related to the Scott-Tutton

Family, so who are you to lecture me?"

Jennifer was lost for words, and her face turned pale. After a brief pause, she finally replied bluntly,

"Even if you don't admit it, I will always be your sister. That is a fact that can't be changed!"

However, Eddie seemed unfazed and mocked her, "Sister? Fine! Since you brought up our blood ties

and that you insisted that you are my sister, let me tell you this. Mike killed my youngest son, which is

also your nephew! Are you saying that I shouldn't kill him, and do you think he doesn't deserve to die?!"

"Even if he deserves to die, you shouldn't drag other people into this! You even used such treacherous

poison! I haven't seen you in many years, and this is the person you have become?" she questioned

him anxiously.

"So what if I have dragged the others into this?" He didn't seem to feel guilty about it. "They got in my

way, so I had no choice but to teach them a lesson!"

"You—" Jennifer was trembling with anger when she saw how stubborn Eddie was.

Seeing that, Donald immediately went up to her and carefully held her so she could stabilize herself.

"Jenny, please calm down. Some people are just not worth your anger."

Jennifer couldn't sit still anymore, and to her, her health was nothing compared to her granddaughter's

life! The moment when she saw how pale Katherine's face had gotten, she decided that she would

reveal Katherine's identity.

"Eddie, do you know who she is?" she asked while pointing at Katherine.

He couldn't be bothered with it, as all he could think of was to avenge his son's death. He didn't even

care when Katherine called Jennifer 'Grandma'. He laughed coldly and scoffed, "I don't care who the

heck she is! No one can get in my way!"

"She is my granddaughter. So, you're her uncle!" As soon as Jennifer revealed Katherine's identity,

there was a heavy silence in the atmosphere. Katherine, who was enduring the twitching pain all over

her body, raised her gaze and looked at Eddie.

Eddie was startled by the revelation and stood still for a few seconds before looking at Katherine and

Jennifer again. Suddenly, he laughed as if he had made sense of the situation. "Uncle? Jennifer, is this

a joke? I see that you're starting to sputter nonsense just to save her!"

He didn't believe it. Because of that, Jennifer's expression became grave. She got anxious and

frustrated, but she had to suppress her feelings and explain to him patiently.

"Do you think that matters like this could be joked about? Her name is Katherine Cornell, and she is

Darren's and my granddaughter! She is also Elsie's biological daughter! Elsie got unlucky and married

Jorge Cornell. Later on, they had Kathy, and both of us have been living together ever since, so why

will I lie to you about it?"

Jennifer was so worked up that her face became even paler. Donald knew that she was fatigued when

he felt that her whole body was trembling. Fearing that she was unable to take it, he wanted to get her

to sit down and take a rest. However, she shook her head and pushed his hand away while staring at

Eddie. "If you don't believe me, you can check whether she is Elsie and Jorge's daughter over at

Hovington!"

There seemed to be subtle changes in Eddie's expression—from his initial disbelief to suspicion and

the calmness that he was now experiencing. It was apparent that he was taking in Jennifer's words and

had slowly started to believe her. Even so, after a while, he broke into laughter and provoked, "I see. I

never thought that this lady was of the Scott-Tutton Family bloodline, but so what?"

The wide-eyed Jennifer never expected to get such a reaction from him. "H-How could you say this?

She is your niece!"

"My niece? Jennifer, don't forget that you're not part of the Scott-Tutton Family anymore! If that's the

case, then that applies to your granddaughter too! I wouldn't let her off even if she is my

granddaughter!"

Eddie continued while grinning, "I never thought that I would poison your granddaughter by mistake!

But you shouldn't blame me for this, as what goes around comes around. This is your karma for the

choice you made back then!"

Jennifer's expression turned solemn. Katherine, on the other hand, looked at Jennifer and then at

Eddie in confusion. As she tried to hold in pain, she asked, "What do you mean?"

Due to the pain, she clenched onto Joaquin's hand and inadvertently dug her nails into the back of his

hand. Even so, he didn't make a sound and merely held her in his arms anxiously. As he stared at

Eddie with bloodshot eyes, he had the urge to charge at Eddie and knock him over to snatch the

antidote from him. However, he didn't dare to act rashly, worried that there would be any trick up

Eddie's sleeve.

At the end of the day, he could only stare at Eddie coldly while pursing his lips.

"Why? Didn't your grandma tell you about it?" Eddie looked over and scoffed.

"Tell me about what?" Katherine was still sober and rational, even if she was experiencing extreme

pain.

"Huh, I guess you are unaware of it." He looked at her with disdain. "Well, I'm not surprised if she didn't

tell you since it's her embarrassing secret."

With that, she looked over at Jennifer and gave an evil smile. "Jennifer, since you dread to speak about

it, I can do that for you. It's time for your granddaughter to know about what happened in the past."

Just then, Jennifer finally managed to calm herself down. There was a trace of disappointment in her

eyes as she let out a sigh.
