Chapter 376: Did I Mess It Up?
Chapter 376: Did I Mess It Up?
"I know it," John says.
When he went to see Kanna, she told him how despicable his father was. Burnell broke up her family
and made her leave her husband and son.
Kanna's son is indeed John's half-brother.
However, John has never met him before.
John looks at the picture on Lily's phone. He is so shocked that his face freezes.
Lily just keeps staring at John.
After an unbearable stretch of silence, she couldn't help but say, "John...."
"That's impossible! That's not true!" John suddenly stands up and smashes her phone onto the carpet.
"Jonathan! He made it up! How, how could I...."
"John, calm down." Lily hurries over and grabs his hand tightly. She feels so bad for him. "Kanna's real
name was Scarlett Streep. She married Armond, and they had a son, Louis."
"No! No!" John can't believe it. He pushes Lily away and throws himself on the sofa. "This can't be true.
You're lying."
John gradually lowers his head, looking lonely and sad.
Lily sits down and hugs his shoulder. "I know you can't accept it, but it's true. Louis is your half-brother."
"We live far away from each other. We don't even know each other." John just doesn't want to believe
it. This half-brother of his took Lily away from him.
John suddenly hates everything!
He clenches his hands and says with much hatred, "Burnell, that bastard, he was married at that time.
Why did he steal another man's wife? Why Louis' mother!"
"It's not your fault. Don't think about it." Lily tries to comfort John in a soft voice. "You just need to take
advantage of your father's preference for you and take over the Krislier Group. As long as you become
the owner of this manor, you can do whatever you want, including revenge."
John looks up at Lily. "When did you know about this?"
"After you met Kanna. My brother called and told me." Lily does not hide it from John.
"Does he know it?"
Lily nods. "John, you are Louis' brother. But he knows it's not your fault. And he does not hate you. I tell
you about this, because I don't want Jonathan to affect you later. I know it's unfair to you that I tell the
truth now. If you want to beat or scold me, just do it."
"No, I would never do that." John strokes her face and whispers, "I know you're doing this for my good.
I just hate that such a dramatic thing happened to me."
He could accept anyone but Louis. It's a real slap on his face.
Lily purses her lips and remains silent.
When she knew about it, she was even more devastated than John. She couldn't accept it either.
But that could not change anything. The only thing she could do is to prevent Jonathan from
succeeding. She must not turn John and Louis against each other.
Anyway, John and Louis do not care about their relationship with Meghan. They don't know if Jonathan
tells Meghan about this or what would happen to her. No one cares about her.
But Lily does not know that Meghan has returned to Country Y. And she is hiding in the Krislier Manor!
Jonathan comes out of Burnell's study at 9 pm.
He looks as if he has a pleasant talk with his father. He is not that gloomy as he was in the living room
a few hours ago. Instead, he's smiling and looks vigorous.
Jonathan goes downstairs and takes his coat from a servant. "I'm going to Brodie's place. I have an
important cocktail party tomorrow. I need a new suit."
"I see, Mr. Jonathan. Do you need me to take you there?"
"No, I'll go by myself."
Brodie is a designer of the Krisliers. He lives in a house in the west.
Jonathan takes a sightseeing bus and gets there in several minutes.
"Mr. Jonathan."
Brodie is teaching his assistant to Kreisler’s cut the cloth in the living room. He immediately walks over
to greet Jonathan, but Jonathan just waves his hand and goes straight upstairs.
He goes to the end of the corridor and knocks five times on the door.
The door immediately opens.
It's Meghan in a light gray housecoat. Her face is pale but she still looks gorgeous.
The moment she opens the door, she throws herself into Jonathan's arms. Then, she gives him a few
heavy thumps on the chest before saying in displeasure, "You finally come. I thought you have
forgotten about me!"
"No. I'm thinking about you all the time." Jonathan hugs her into the room and closes the door. "But if I
come here more often, they will suspect."
"Don't find any excuses!" Meghan pushes him away and turns around. She's still sulking.
Jonathan hugs her from behind and kisses her slender neck. His voice turns deep. "Do you want me to
take out my heart and show you it's still beating for you?"
His large rough hands slip into her housecoat. He could feel how soft her skin is, and his breathing
grows heavier.
"Sweetheart, do you want it?"
Meghan couldn't resist it whenever he does this. She immediately turns around and and smothers him
with kisses.
Some time later, they end up on the bed, cuddling.
Meghan is nestled in Jonathan's arms. Her black hair spreads over his chest. Her eyes are almost
closed, as if she is sleepy.
Jonathan strokes her soft hair and asks, "When did you get here?"
"A week ago," Meghan says lazily. She puts her chin on his chest. "It's a good thing that you bought
Brodie off long ago. Otherwise, I don't know where I should go."
"John's dog has been chasing you?"
"Yeah. That dog's got a good nose!" Meghan says angrily, "He knew it when I arrived in the country. He
almost killed me at the airport."
Jonathan narrows his eyes. "I spent a lot of money to hire those people, but they can't even beat Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
John's dog."
"Forget it. We can get someone else." Meghan looks up at him. "I heard that John and Lily live in the
Krislier Manor?"
"You just heard it? I know you found someone to mess with the dress." Jonathan pinches her cheek
and says with certainty, "Thanks to you, the manor is in chaos tonight."
Meghan snorts after Jonathan calls her bluff. "Who would have thought that he will come back? He's
sick, but he still wants to compete with you for the Krislier Group? I'm so angry. I just want to teach him
a lesson."
She leaves Jonathan's arms and asks with caution, "What's wrong? Did I mess it up?"
"No, on the contrary, I'm very satisfied." Jonathan strokes her cheek with his fingers. "Only a servant
died. My father let it go and gave me a large amount of money."
"Why?"
Jonathan tells her what has happened in the living room a few hours ago.
Then Meghan falls back into his arms again. She hugs him tightly. "Seles, I'm here with you. I will
always love you and stay with you. We'll have a lot of kids, and we will be happy forever."
Jonathan's eyes flicker. He doesn't give her a positive answer. Instead, he asks, "Are you clean?"
