Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1206

Jenny said, "Don't you guys want to see your own granddaughter? Are you really telling me you don't want to lay eyes on her?"

Her words dropped like a bombshell, silencing the entire room.

Elton's gaze snapped to her, sharp and dangerous like a panther ready to pounce, yet his expression remained unchanged. Deep down, he had anticipated Jenny's move. By revealing herself, she clearly wasn't going to back down easily. But her constant talk of children? That was almost laughable. Did she truly care about the child, or was the child merely a pawn in her grand scheme? From the moment of birth, their child was nothing but a part of her meticulously planned plot. Now, it seemed, she was ready to spring her trap.

Hancock Taylor and Riley were completely taken aback, struggling to process the bombshell. After a moment, Riley managed, "What did you say? Your own granddaughter?"

It was as if Jenny had been waiting for just this question.

A sly smile played on her lips. "I had a daughter with Elton. She's been living with him, and she's four years old now. Elton didn't tell you, did he?"

Riley was in disbelief, taking a moment before turning to Elton, "Is this true, Elton? Do you two have a daughter?"

Elton met Jenny's gaze with a cold, stormy look. His dark eyes were tumultuous, hinting at the brewing storm within.

Jenny relished his attention. For once, Elton was truly seeing her. Back in their youth at Century Entertainment, she had always been invisible to him, watching from the shadows as he shined like gold in the sunlight, his spirit as free as an eagle soaring through the sky. She had vowed to rise above them all, to look down upon those who had looked down on her. And now, she had achieved it.

With pride in her eyes, Jenny challenged, "Elton, why so silent? Afraid to admit the truth?"

Elton finally spoke, "Yes, I have a daughter... but she has nothing to do with you."

Riley nearly collapsed into a nearby chair, her heart heavy with sorrow. "What a tragedy," she lamented.

She had longed for a grandchild, and to discover the child was already four years old and Jenny's, no less, was a bitter pill to swallow. The situation was a mess of unresolved issues and grievances.

After the fallout with Agnes, Elton had thrown himself into work, steering clear of any romantic entanglements, which had become a source of concern for both Riley and Hancock Taylor. They would have welcomed anyone Elton chose, provided she was a decent person. But Jenny? She was a complication they hadn't anticipated.

Riley's feelings were mixed, but the fact remained: Elton had kept his daughter a secret for far too long.
