I’m Someone Else

Chapter 164

Declan bowed his head and continued eating his food, saying nothing. He understood Norman’s character and knew he valued his son more than his daughters. To Norman, it was Eira’s fault for not being able to bear him a son. However, Declan dared not concur with him. What’s wrong with having a daughter? Isn’t your daughter your flesh and blood too? What’s more, it’s not up to Eira to determine the sex of her baby. Fine. Even if it’s Eira’s fault for not bearing you a son, don’t you know your daughter? She’s smart, kind, and her ability in business management is unparalleled. What does your disappointing son have that she does not? What is there to dislike about her?

Those were what Declan thought but dared not verbalize because it involved Norman’s family matters, essentially not his place to express anything. While he said he was heading to Capitalis to develop the family business, he went there to stay away from the chaos at home. There was too much injustice amongst large families, and he had no intention of meddling in any of them. He would rather live in Capitalis, where he could live his days happily.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about her anymore. Now that I have Gavin, a son, I finally have a successor. But I’ve wronged him and his mother for many years because they had a home they couldn’t return to and could only stay outside. I feel so sorry for them!”

Norman picked up his glass and drank it all at once. “Declan, the Denvers have gone too far! During Eira’s funeral, the young Gavin had said some insignificant things, but the Denvers had to hold on to them. If it hadn’t been for their tricks, Gavin would’ve returned to the Pearson Family long ago. And Harrison Denver. He’s a scumbag. No matter what, I am the head of the Pearson Family, so how could he humiliate me like that? Also, he even put up the pretense of a father-in-law whenever he wanted and criticized me, saying that I was mean to Olivia and her sister. How was I mean to those sisters? Did I not feed them or give them a place to stay? I just wanted a son. What’s wrong with that? I’m the head of the family. Who would inherit my title if I didn’t have a son? That son of a b*tch. F*ck him!”

As he said, Harrison had indeed chastised him many times, saying he did not care about Olivia and Ophelie. However, Norman thought otherwise, believing he had not done anything wrong. Even if he were lacking, that was his family’s matter. Harrison was a Denver, so what right did he have to point his finger at Norman? Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Declan frowned. How can you say that about your father-in-law?

“Norman, you—”

“What? F*ck him. Like father, like daughter. Eira wasn’t much better than him. I, Norman Pearson, am a seven-foot dauntless man and the current head of the Pearson Family, yet she thought she could pull a long face with me because she had the Denvers backing her! That’s outrageous! That b*tch ended her life too early, but if it were up to me, I’d say she should’ve died long ago, probably after giving birth to Olivia. That way, I would have less trouble!”

He sipped on his wine. “Declan, I’m going to come clean. I’ve already had a plan in mind. Once we send Olivia away, I’ll get my revenge on the Denver Family. I don’t care whether it’s that old b*stard, Harrison, or his two daughters. All of them have to die! I want them dead! Aren’t they close with that b*tch, Eira? That’s great. She’d have company soon!”

At that moment, his eyes were filled with fury, and the resentment he had pent up inside him exploded.

“Are you f*cking done?” Declan could not stand listening to that any longer. What’s wrong with Eira? Wasn’t she good to you? How could you call her a b*tch and wish she had died earlier? Is that how a gentleman should behave?

“Declan, what… are you doing?”

“Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

“How?”

“Let me ask you this. Where did you spend the night of your wedding? Was it at Eira’s villa? Yes, you’re right. It’s normal for men from large families like us to have several wives, but none of us are like you. What you’re doing is fooling around! Also, what did you do when you realized Olivia’s a girl? Were you even present in her childhood? You gave Eira the cold shoulder for two whole years after that, and it became even worse after Ophelie was born. When the doctor told you it was a baby girl, you immediately turned around and left! You didn’t even care whether Eira made it! Do you think you have the right to be called a father or a husband?!”

“Ever since Eira passed away, you’ve become even worse. You act like a kind father before others when you see Olivia and Ophelie as your pets! You only give them some water and food to make sure they survive. What did you say when Olivia passed out from having a fever and the terrified Ophelie called to ask you to send them to the hospital? You said to wait until you wake up the next day! In the end, it was me who sent Olivia to the hospital! Don’t you even have a conscience? You are more or less the biggest contributor to why Oliva and Ophelie have decided to leave the family! Also, stop boasting. Taking revenge on the Denver Family? Can you even do that? Even Dad doesn’t dare to find trouble with the Denvers, let alone you. Do you think you’re invincible because you have the title of head of the family? You can give it a try if you think you’re capable of it. Let’s see if you still have your life before the Denver Family falls!”

After saying that, Declan took a deep breath. He had not been home for many years, but his father was not the only one who had changed. Norman had too! He could no longer see any trace of humanity in his brother!

“You take care of yourself!”

Then, he walked out of the villa, not wanting to stay another minute in this place. Otherwise, he might puke everything he just ate! How could someone be so shameless? What upset him was that the shameless man was his biological brother! What wrong had he done in his past life to deserve this?

Meanwhile, Norman was left alone, dumbfounded. He merely wanted to rant to his younger brother because he felt aggrieved, but what happened with Declan? Why did he react so aggressively?

In Keyshire Property’s president’s office, Molly propped her chin while observing Thomas sitting on the couch. Olivia went out to inspect the other departments, allowing Molly alone with him, so how could she bear to throw away such an opportunity?
