Crowned by the Man They Feared (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568 Gianna’s Real Bloodline

“And Amelia clearly had a distant relationship with Raymond, but now she’s acting like she actually cared about her dead father.”

Regina vented irritably, going on and on.

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out where things had gone

wrong.

That bitch Amelia used to be completely cold toward everyone in the Nygards.

Even if those Nygard family members had learned Gianna’s true colors and their relationship with her had fallen apart, there was no way they could have patched things up with Amelia this quickly.

Especially since Raymond was already dead-why was Amelia only starting to care about him

now?

Could it be that Raymond had done something before he died that they didn’t know about?

“Maybe Amelia used some kind of scheme to deliberately reconcile with Raymond and the rest of the Nygards so she could steal everything from Nygard Group.”

Esmond speculated.

“Impossible. That little brat isn’t that simple.” Regina dismissed his theory.

Maybe Esmond didn’t understand the dynamics between the Nygard family members, but she had a pretty good grasp of it.

There was no way that bitch Amelia was doing this for the Nygards’ fortune.

Even if she wanted it, she wouldn’t go about it this way.

There had to be something between them that they didn’t know about.

It was precisely because she couldn’t be sure that alarm bells were ringing in her head.

“Forget it. What’s done is done. There’s no point guessing anymore. But we still need to figure out how to take back Nygard Group. We need a lot of funding to support the lab.”

The secret laboratory behind them required enormous amounts of money to run all those large-scale experiments.

That person had given him orders-they needed to secure more funds as soon as possible.

The Jordans’ money couldn’t be touched too much because Cora was keeping a close eye on it.

Besides, he was worried that too much obvious financial support would raise red flags and draw suspicion.

Nygard Group was the perfect target.

Not only did Nygard Group have fast cash flow, but they also dealt in medicinal plants, which made things even more convenient and practical for their purposes.

“Right now, everything we try to do gets blocked by that bitch Amelia. And if the Nygards band together, they’ll be even harder to deal with.

“That’s why you shouldn’t have been so hasty to show your hand. Gianna had the Nygard family members wrapped around her finger, and you had Raymond completely under your control.”

Thinking about this, Esmond was still quite displeased.

Hearing this, Regina felt even more wronged. She started sniffling and said, “Esmond, how can you blame me for this?

“Gianna’s position in the Nygards had been slipping more and more. Those brothers were already starting to break free from her control.

“And Raymond—he knew everything all along! He was secretly testing us and trying to catch us

in the act!

“Besides, I’ve been stuck with Raymond all this time. Doesn’t that bother you at all? It was so hard for me to stay faithful to you.”

Regina rattled off a whole list of grievances. She kept talking while the man beside her could only press his lips together in silence.

She really couldn’t wait any longer. She desperately wanted to be with this man openly and forever.

She had wasted over a decade of her life on the Nygards. Of course she felt resentful and wronged.

“Alright, I was just saying. I’m not really blaming you.” Esmond finally spoke up.

“Well, now that we’ve already burned bridges with the Nygards, and Amelia has probably figured out that Gianna is your daughter, when are you planning to bring us back to the Jordans?”

Regina looked at him expectantly.

2/3

Compared to the Nygards, the Jordans were on a whole other level.

And Esmond himself-refined, intelligent, decisive, and ruthless-was someone she was head over heels for.

Back when she had just gotten together with Raymond, she met Esmond and didn’t think twice before cheating.

Luckily, Raymond was a devoted son. The moment Ursula objected to their relationship, Regina left without hesitation and continued her secret affair with Esmond.

Now, Esmond’s wife had been dead for many years, and that position had remained empty.

Regina was confident-and delusional-enough to believe that he had stayed single all these years just for her.

That was exactly why she couldn’t wait any longer and had revealed everything ahead of schedule.

She was dying to become Esmond’s wife.

“Hmm, give it a little more time. I need to find the right moment to bring this up with my mother.”

“Alright, I’ll wait. Just don’t keep me waiting too long.” Regina was over the moon.

After all, they had Gianna-their daughter-between them. A real Jordan by blood.
