LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Lyvia’s shoulders trembled violently, and she finally mustered the courage to look at Jun Chester. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt darkness before her eyes and fell into Jun Chester’s embrace. He carried her to the bed.

After checking her pulse, he finally let out a sigh of relief. She had woken up, but her body was extremely weak, and her intense emotional fluctuations had caused her to faint. She just needed some rest, and she would be fine.

Outside the door, Colbert Osborn’s voice came again. “Lord Chester!”

“What is it?” Jun Chester asked, placing Dion Chester beside Lyvia and stepping out of the sickroom.

Colbert Osborn reported, “When Bella Harding went downstairs just now, I heard her make a phone call to your father, saying she wanted… to move your mother out of the cemetery!”

Jun Chester’s eyes suddenly turned icy. “I didn’t want to let her off so easily, thinking she was Lyvia’s sister. Now it seems she’s really asking for trouble!”

Colbert Osborn’s expression became extremely solemn, and he spoke again. “I saw earlier that Bella was wearing the Charlton family’s crest!”

“It is said that Blake Charlton took her in as his foster daughter a few years ago!”

“He may be old, but the last time I saw him, he was still in good spirits!”

“Most importantly, Blake Charlton has countless students in key government positions. As long as he wishes, half of Lordran’s people can be at his disposal!”

“So I think you may want to… think twice before acting!”

Considering Blake Charlton’s pride and rigid character, how could he be close to Bella? Could there be some hidden reasons?

“You go to Aytwhistdon now and bring Blake Charlton here,” Jun Chester ordered.

He didn’t tell Colbert Osborn about the matter between Blake Charlton and himself. For one, he always thought it was a joke, so he never took it seriously. Second, it had been seven years, and who knew if he was still the same Blake Charlton he knew.

Colbert Osborn bowed and left.

Jun Chester stayed at the hospital for one night. The next morning, he went to Chester Fortress. Although Wilfrid Chester had married Bella against moral norms, they were, after all, father and son. Before his mother’s death, she often taught him as well. As a man, he had to learn to be tolerant! As long as Wilfrid Chester was willing to admit his mistake, he could give him a few more years.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw the core members of the Chester family and the Harding family gathered in the castle’s main hall, arguing.

“His mother was just a lowly-born harlot who doesn’t deserve a place in our ancestral hall!”

“Jun Chester doesn’t deserve a place in this family either. He has angered Wilfrid as soon as he returned, and Wilfrid is already dying. His mother doesn’t deserve to be buried in our cemetery.”

Bella’s words were even harsher. “I heard that the cheap woman was promiscuous before her marriage to Wilfrid Chester, often going to nightclubs. No one knows how many men she had outside! Maybe that bastard isn’t even a Chester!”

A side branch of the Chester family, who was of the same generation as Wilfrid Chester, spoke up, “I can testify to that. My brother traveled a lot back then, and he was so young; he was deceived by that cheap woman. She went to nightclubs? Nothing that fancy at all! Just some random pubs anyone can have some fun with a few cents. Heh, you can guess how dirty that must be.”

Upon hearing him, a few bursts of laughter erupted from the crowd!

Jun Chester, standing outside the door, watched the unfolding events with a heart bleeding and a face full of murderous intent.

His mother had come from a family of scholars!

After she had married into the Chester family, she had put down her books and thrown herself into the world of commerce. From then on, everyone had led a decent life!

In the end, her hard work had only brought her a body full of diseases, leading to her death.

How could she have imagined that her husband was nothing more than a hypocrite!

Now, almost twenty years after her death, she was being humiliated in such a manner.

It was utterly ridiculous!

Seven years ago, with all his military merits, Jun Chester had elevated the Chester family from a second-rate merchant family to a world-class powerhouse.

He had single-handedly transformed the Chester family, which his mother had painstakingly managed during her lifetime, into a legend among the powerful families!

Today, the Chester family regarded him as nothing more than a rat or a cockroach!

“Heh… heh heh…”

Jun Chester’s face was distorted, chuckling coldly as he took step by step towards the center of the main hall.

At that moment, someone added,

“If you ask me, Mrs. Chester was the complete opposite. She not only managed our family all by herself, but she was also the god daughter of Lord Charlton. Only a person like her would have the qualifications to be buried with the head of my Chester family!”

Jun Chester coldly swept his gaze over these people.

“It seems you all have grown tired of your good days? Well then, don’t worry.”
