Chapter 26
Rachel was sure Jeffrey recognized it and pressed. “Mr. Parker, do you know what this is? Can you tell me its origin?”
Jeffrey replied. “I saw this jade once in the hands of a friend”
Rachel asked. “Then where is your friend! Can you introduce me?”
Jeffrey shook his head and said. “He passed away many years ago.”
The clue was cut off again.
Rachel had planned to deliver the unearthed artifacts to the Cultural Heritage Bureau with her colleagues. But as soon as she got off the plane, she received a call from Charles
Charles said that Andrew had taken Jennie back to the Zevon mansion. Rachel’s scalp tingled with anxiety upon hearing the news.
In the Zevon mansion, Jennie was crying. She said, “Daddy, I didn’t push Tracy. I didn’t‘
Andrew said. “Jennie, I don’t like children who lie. I will give you one more chance. Apologize to Tracy.”
Jennie insisted, “I didn’t push her. I did nothing wrong. I won’t apologize.
Yedda held the crying Tracy in her arms and pretended to soothe Andrew. She said, “Andrew, forget it. Jennie didn’t mean it.” She winked at Tracy.
Tracy walked over and hugged Andrew’s leg. She said, “Daddy, I won’t cry anymore.”
Seeing the sensible Tracy and the unruly Jennie, Andrew was furious. He shouted. Jennie, I’ll give you one last chance to apologize
Jennie raised her head stubbornly. She said. “I won’t apologize.”
Andrew was so angry. He said, “Fine, you don’t want to apologize, right? Then you’re not allowed to eat tonight. Somebody take her upstairs and lock her up.”
servant was so scared that she dared not move.
Just then, Rachel, who rushed back, shouted, “Who dares?” The serv
Andrew said, “Rachel, you still have the nerve to come back?”
Rachel said. “If it weren’t for Jennie, I wouldn’t want to step foot in here.” She picked up Jennie and checked her over. Only after finding that Jennie wasn’t hurt did Rachel feel relieved.
Yedda said, “Rachel, you’re in the wrong here. Jennie is young and already hirting people and lying. As a mother, you’re spoiling her rotten. Now she’s pushing people; who knows, she might end up killing someone in the future.”
Rachel sneered, “Who do you think you are to lecture me?”
Andrew scolded, “Rachel, don’t be unreasonable”
Rachel retorted, “Who’s being unreasonable here? Andrew, we’re not even divorced yet, and you’re already bringing your mistress into our home, acting all high and mighty. Does she even have the right to speak to me?”
Yedda said, “Rachel, how could you say that? I was just trying to help
At that moment, Richard, supported by a servant, walked in and said, “When did the Zevon family’s business become any outsider’s
Andrew said to Rachel, “You had the nerve to bring Grandpa back? Rachel, you’ve gone too far.
“Silence. I miss Jennie, so I came back. Don’t wrong Rachel, Richard said.
Andrew glanced at Rachel doubtfully.
Richard’s expression softened the moment he saw Jennie. He said, “Jennie, darling, come give me a hug
Jennie snuggled into Richard’s arms and blinked her big eyes. She said, “Great–grandfather, I didn’t push Tracy. She offered me a peanut candy, and I didn’t want it. She pushed me, but I dodged, and she fell on her own

Chapter 26.
Hearing this, Yedda’s expression changed immediately. She said. “Jennie, don’t lie. You were the one.
Richard demanded, “I specifically told you not to let this woman step foot in the Zevon manor again. Who let her in today?”
Richard’s furious words made the servants hold their breath. They didn’t dare to let Yedda in; they just followed Andrew’s orders. Too scared to rely, they all kept their heads down.
Andrew said, “Grandpa, I invited Yedda and Tracy over. I was worried Jennie would be bored at home alone. She needs to play with other kids
Richard said, “Silence! Do our Zevon kids need to befriend any Tom, Dick, or Harry? His words cut Yedda down to size.
Yedda had known from the start that Richard didn’t think much of her, but being so publicly humiliated was a huge blow to her pride. She tried to argue back, “Grandpa, I know…
Richard cut her off. “Ms. Zom, I have no kinship or private dealings with you. Please address me as Mr. Zevon.
Yedda said, “Mr. Zevon, it was my fault today…
Seeing Yedda pretending to be frail, Richard became even angrier. He interrupted her again, “Ms. Zorn, please leave.”
Yedda knew she was no match for Richard and that further entanglement would be fruitless. Since she had achieved her goal for the day, she decided to play safe,
She put on a sweet, caring tone for Andrew as she said, “Andrew, it was my mistake. I’ll leave first. You talk to Grandpa. He’s old; don’t upset him.”

Andrew was touched by Yedda’s consideration. He escorted Yedda and Tracy to the door. As soon as he came back, Richard, who had been waiting in the living room, hit Andrew’s shoulder with the cane.
Andrew winced and clutched his shoulder. He said, “Grandpa, I’m the only heir of the Zevon family. If you hit me, the family line will be cut off.
Richard said, “With a scoundrel like you, I think the Zevon family is almost done for!” He raised his cane again, but Andrew had the sense to dodge.
Rachel spoke up, “Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take Jennie home.”
“Where do you think you’re taking Jennie! She’s my daughter. Why should you just take her away?” Andrew protested.
“Jennie is your daughter, right? Then keep her stay. What does she eat for dinner, and what does she read before bed! Do you know?” Rachel challenged.
Andrew was stumped. Rachel continued, “Do you even know she’s allergic to peanuts?”
Andrew said. “No way. I gave her peanut candy last time, and she was fine”
“Is that so Rachel sneered, feeling a pang of sorrow for her daughter. She asked, “Did you know Jennie was in the hospital for half a month after eating the candy?”
Andrew was shocked; he had no idea. His gaze towards Jennie softened with a hint of guilt. But Jennie gave him a big, disdainful eye roll..
Andrew said, “Jennie, I am sorry. I will pay attention next time. Will you forgive me?” He waved to Jennie, motioning her to come into his arms.
However, Jennie burrowed into Rachel’s arms and didn’t even look at Andrew
Watching this, Richard thought, “Thus family is falling apart” “Forget it, Rachel Take Jennie and go,” he said.
With Richard’s words, Rachel felt relieved to take Jennie away
Andrew, not willing to give up, chased after them. He said, “Rachel, you have such a vicious and cumming heart. First, you secretly called Grandpa here to see us fighting, then you took the opportunity to tattle that I didn’t take good care of Jennie.
“Don’t think you can take Jennie away from me just like that. She’s my daughter, no matter where you take her!”
Jennie was quite a handful, and Rachel was struggling to hold Jennie. As Rachel hurried to the door, she saw Charles leaning casually against the front of his cr

Charles walked over, took Jennie from Rachel, and opened the car door for them to get in.
Sering Rachel get into the car without looking back, Andrew was furious. He confronted Charles, “Charles, are you planning to oppose me to the end?”
Seeing Andrew, Charles frowned. Then, he smiled and said nothing.
Andrew had been holding back his anger. Seeing the smile, his anger erupted. He threw a punch at Charles’s face.
Charles collided with the car. Rachel, who was inside, saw this and tried to push open the car door, but Charles was Taster and pushed it
