The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 406

The garden was abuzz with the guests’ chatter, for Gwendolyn’s words had revealed a significant amount of information to them.

Amidst everyone’s curious glances, Gwendolyn shifted her attention to Asher, who was on stage.

She suggested in a solemn tone, “Asher, this is an internal matter of the Harris family. If you don’t want to see Harris Group’s stock price crash or the family’s name plastered across the headlines tomorrow, you had better clear the area and listen to me!”

Underneath the dim lighting, Gwendolyn gave Asher an icy stare.

The guests and reporters present, who just had their minds blown, discussed the matter with increasing fervor.

Below the stage, Treyton was the first to spring to his feet and keep the situation under control. His presence was enough to indicate to the reporters that they had to keep the matter under wraps and leave. As for the guests, they, too, headed for the door under Kieran’s direction.

Holding the succession document, Jared was left stunned on stage. He simply looked around, clueless as to what to do.

Cedrick, who had noticed him, gave Nico and William a look. The two responded by heading on stage swiftly and bundling Jared away from the Harris residence.

Ten minutes later, an empty silence was what remained of the previously busy garden. Only immediate members of the Harris family and Cedrick were left. Even the relatives of the Harris family had been told to leave under Gwendolyn’s orders.

Asher fixed a piercing gaze upon Gwendolyn but didn’t say a word. He watched her make her way onto the stage and waited to see what she had to say.

Not wanting to beat around the bush, Gwendolyn opened the bag and brought out the five paternity test reports Kieran had personally run.

“Take a good look at these, Asher. This is the truth behind my birth!”

Suppressing the rage within her, Gwendolyn threw the reports in Asher’s face.
