NovelOnline825 Chapter 824 Keira couldn't help but laugh. "His condition is incurable—how could his offspring possibly be connected to me?" Sean spoke up, "I overheard him say once that he met a woman in Clance years ago. There's a chance he left a child behind." Sean chuckled. "I suspect that Monbatten's ongoing issues with having heirs may be tied to that woman." Keira blinked in confusion. "What makes you think that?" Erin's ears perked up. This was juicy gossip-she had to hear this! Jenkins and Erin exchanged a quick glance before both of them subtly shuffled closer, inching towards Sean and Keira, eager to eavesdrop.
But then Sean's cold voice cut through the air. "Do you two need to press your ears to my mouth?" Erin immediately looked up at him, a cheeky smile playing on her lips. "Can we?" Sean's gaze turned icy. "Sure... if you want to keep your ears." Erin froze.
This guy hadn't changed a bit since childhood.
She glared at him, but he merely pointed toward the door.
"What I'm about to say isn't for your ears. You can leave now." Without hesitation, Erin shot back, "What could possibly be so bad that I can't hear it?" She shot Keira a pleading look, trying to win her sympathy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeira remained calm, responding flatly, "I trust them." Sean let out a derisive laugh. "You know, women's words are the least trustworthy! I don't even trust my sister. Why would I trust either of them?" Erin and Jenkins shot him a glare, their cheeks puffed up with indignation.
Sean barely glanced at them, and they both quickly averted their eyes, standing up straighter.
Erin cleared her throat. "Actually, I just realized-I'm kind of hungry. I think I'll go grab a bite in the kitchen... Not because I'm scared of you, though!" Jenkins coughed lightly. "I'll cwith you." The two made a quick exit to the kitchen.
Keira sighed, watching them go.
This guy really had a way of making people cower.
She had never seen Erin so flustered, and as for Jenkins, well, she was used to her acting weak whenever it suited her.
Keira turned her attention back to Sean. "What exactly are you trying to say?" Sean gave a casual shrug. "I'm just saying, if years ago, when Monbatten was still young and didn't want kids, a woman spent the night with him and ended up pregnant, what do you think she'd do if she wanted her child to inherit the throne of Country A?" Keira's eyes widened. "She'd make sure Monbatten could never have children again!" Sean raised his eyebrows and shrugged. "Exactly." Keira frowned. "But it's not like any woman can guarantee a pregnancy on the first try!" Sean scoffed. "Are you really that naive, or did you just not think about it?" Keira paused, slightly taken aback.
Sean leaned in, lowering his voice. "As long as the sperm's healthy, even if she didn't get pregnant the first time, she could freeze it and try again. Either way, Monbatten's sperm back then would be very different from what he has now." Keira's frown deepened. "Why would someone go to all that trouble?" Sean raised a brow. "Well, that's something you'd have to ask the woman herself... I'm just throwing out a theory here." Keira took a deep breath.
Sean continued. "So, all you'd need to do is find that woman, take her child, and tell Monbatten that the child is either yours or belongs to someone close to you. Then, this whole thing would be wrapped up." Keira stared at him in disbelief.
"Steal someone else's child?" She was almost speechless.
The audacity of this man-he could suggest something like that so nonchalantly? But at the stime, her mind suddenly froze. "You said Monbatten met this woman in Clance?" Sean nodded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeira's heart skipped a beat. A suspicion was starting to form in her mind.
She suddenly remembered that when she was trying to gain the Martin family's support, she had discovered that her Smother was her maternal the first love of old Mr. Martin. Her mother, Jodie South, was Mr.
Martin's daughter. That connection had naturally tied her to the Martin family.
Then, when she needed the Olsen family's backing, she found out that her mother, Jodie, haɖ withbeen g had been imam relationship with Uncle Olsen.
Despite her success in aligning with Clance's five major families, it was clear that her connection to the Olsen nhad given her leverage. And now, she needed to build a relationship with Monbatten, a man with hundreds of women in his harem, but no heirs.
What if Monbatten only had one heir...? Keira's eyes shot toward the second floor, where Amy was playing, a thought beginning to form in her mind.
