Jeffrey closed his eyes and kept quiet as he listened to the conversation between Cayden and Allie.

boy. While I wasn t sure if she knew about your gender back then, I had to hand you over to an
orphanage to ensure your safety. At the very least, the director of the orphanage would be responsible

deeply.
He had already noticed some changes in Mia over the past five years, but she…
Before Joe could speak, an arrogant voice rang out, “How could my Mia bully someone without
reason? If she acted out, it must be because you’re at fault.”
Without turning her head, Mia knew who had arrived behind her, a trace of helplessness showing in her
eyes.
“Mr. Johnson?” Wendy exclaimed in surprise.
If the Smith family rose to prominence through the efforts of Sir Smith alone, then the Johnson family
was a lineage that ran deep, spanning several generations. No one knew when the Johnsons began
their ascent to power, but everyone knew they had endured for hundreds of years, amassing a fortune
beyond most people’s imagination.
And David Johnson was the most noteworthy figure of his

“You made faces behind her back just now, and I saw everything. You deliberately poured that wine
onto Mia,” David said, casting a disdainful glance at the woman who had fallen silent since his arrival,
“Do you want to apologize, or shall we check the security footage?”
