Chapter 405

When they saw his face, dread filled their hearts.

Gwendolyn said resignedly, “Kieran, just tell us. Even if the results are bad, it’s not going to get any
worse than this. I can handle it.”

Kieran remained quiet. Under everyone’s gazes, he walked toward Gwendolyn and hugged her tightly.

A little smile appeared on his haughty face. “My precious little sister, Gwen, is the daughter of the
Harris family!”

Upon hearing that, everyone felt relieved.

Cedrick was the only one with a scowl on his face. He walked forward, separated Gwendolyn from
Kieran’s embrace, and pulled her back to him.

“You’re adults now. Even if you guys are siblings, you should still keep some distance between each
other.”

“Oh, you!” Gwendolyn glanced helplessly at Cedrick as she slowly reached inside his robe and pinched
the soft part of his waist.

Treyton breathed a sigh of relief in secret and complained, “Kieran, could you not scare us like that?
When can you learn to look happier when you’ve got good news? Geez!”

Will he ever find a wife if he continues to act this way? What kind of woman can handle him, anyway?

Kieran remained expressionless as he completely ignored Treyton.

Then, they started discussing the homecoming feast, which was happening the next day.



After that, Kieran and Treyton snuck back to Mount Tranquil so that a certain someone at home
wouldn’t be suspicious.

Despite confirming her identity, Gwendolyn still had something on her mind, and she couldn’t fall
asleep.

Cedrick noticed that. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead.

“Gwenny, I know how hard this is for you, especially since it was the family you’ve loved for more than
twenty years that betrayed you.”

Gwendolyn’s eyes turned red, and she buried her face in his chest without saying anything.

He continued, “But, Kieran’s right. Besides, I can’t really believe it either. Maybe… he has his reasons.
No matter what happens, you should hear him out before making your decision when you see him
tomorrow.”

She nodded slowly and wrapped her arms around his waist tighter.

“You’re pregnant now. No matter how much you don’t want to rest, our babies need their rest. Do it for
them, okay? Try to calm your mind and get some sleep.”

“But… I really can’t fall asleep. It’s suffocating…”

Cedrick sighed inwardly as he tried to find a way to calm her down. “How about I tell you a bedtime
story?”

“No! You’re a terrible storyteller!” Gwendolyn rejected.

“That’s how I’ll bore you to sleep.”

She was speechless.



That makes sense. Oh my goodness, I have nothing to say if he puts it that way.

Giving up, she listened to Cedrick’s stories in his hypnotic voice for twenty minutes before she fell
asleep.

A few hours later, the sun rose.

The homecoming feast of the Harris family began at seven o’clock in the evening at Marcus’ villa on
Mount Tranquil.

Evelyn, who was already beautiful, was dressed up in a glamourous golden gown that night, looking
like the most precious princess in a castle.

As soon as she appeared, everyone broke out in a massive round of applause.

Besides, since she was a top celebrity, many reporters were there to take pictures of her as their
cameras flashed without stopping.

Evelyn remained calm, and she looked extraordinarily dazzling, like a princess.

A few people noticed Gwendolyn’s absence and began gossiping quietly. However, they stopped when
they saw Evelyn as she attracted their attention.

Since Marcus was still unconscious, Asher had become the head of the Harris family.

The latter stood on the stage and gave a speech in celebration of Evelyn’s return in his bureaucratic
voice.

After that, he moved on to the next agenda.

With everyone there as witnesses, Asher announced that he would hand over the right of inheritance to
Evelyn.



Evelyn was flattered beyond words by that and took the microphone. She said politely, “Asher, I know
how much you love me and wish to give me the world, but I’m used to being in the entertainment
industry. Inheriting the family business is too much for me!”

Most of the guests and media laughed at how honest she was; some were even drawn in by how
straightforward that nineteen-year-old was.

Evelyn continued while the guests were laughing, “That’s why I think you, the most capable one among
us, should be the one to inherit our family business.”

Asher had a sharp gaze in his eyes, but he didn’t agree to it immediately. “You’re the youngest
daughter in our family, and you’ve gone through so much. Besides, the right of inheritance of the Harris
family has always been passed on to daughters. That’s why you’re the rightful successor.”

“Asher, I don’t believe in that. All I know is that it belongs to the one who is worthy. So, just accept it.”

The two of them stood on the stage and continued giving each other the chance to inherit the family
business.

In the end, Asher had no choice but to be the one to sign the right of inheritance and shoulder the
responsibility.

Jared, the top lawyer of the Harris family’s legal team, carried a kraft paper bag with the inheritance
documents and went up the stage.

Asher took the pen handed over by Evelyn and was about to sign his name on the documents when a
voice rang out.

“Wait!”



Suddenly, someone shouted from outside the main entrance.

Asher’s hand trembled slightly, and a drop of ink from the tip of the pen landed on the space where he
was supposed to sign.

Hearing that familiar voice, Asher knew exactly who it was. Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but look in
the direction of the voice.

All the guests turned toward the entrance as well.

Gwendolyn wore a fiery red floral dress. Despite not wearing heels, her graceful strides exuded a
commanding aura.

The floral pattern at the hem of her dress swayed with elegance, making her look graceful and
enchanting while exuding a sense of arrogance and haughtiness.

By her side was Cedrick, who had a silver-grey mask on.

The two of them, one displaying cold aloofness and arrogance while the other showing a sardonic
smile, walked into the garden, instantly captivating the attention of all the guests and media.

The guests only realized that Gwendolyn, who had always been the most precious daughter of the
Harris family, had only arrived.

Right then, suspicions and whispers filled the air.

Meanwhile, Evelyn, who was still on the stage, took the microphone calmly and tried to gain control of
the situation. “Gwendolyn, it’s my big day. Why are you and Mr. Jenson only here now?”

With that, she had successfully blamed Gwendolyn for being late and indirectly told the crowd they
should not fuss over it.



Gwendolyn looked into Evelyn’s eyes from a distance, a mocking smile playing at the corners of her
eyes. “Evelyn, even if Asher is worthy of being the next successor, it’s not up to you to decide!”
