Chapter 40
"Okay," Roberta replied meekly and quickly walked away.
One might think that being brought back as an illegitimate child would grant her sstatus, but Roberta's
position in the Walsh family was worse than that of the maids. With so many around, there was no reason for her
to do laundry.
Chefs in the kitchen, there was no need for her help. Likewise, with so many m
This was just Talia's way of deliberately tormenting her,
That was only the tip of the iceberg, merely what was visible on the surface. Felicia wondered how Talia treated
her behind the scenes.
Felicia returned to her wheelchair, Ignoring her middle-aged sister-in-law. After all, there was a vast generational
gap. They had nothing to discuss.

Amber pushed Felicia into the main hall. Inside, Noah's family and Jake were gathered, looking like a crowded
assembly.
Clive sat in a grand chair, surrounded by the three children from earlier. They were reporting to him with
exaggerated tales of how Felicia had mistreated them.
Talia entered the main hall just in time. Upon hearing this, she exploded with anger. "What? Who dares to hit my
precious three?"
The three children pointed at Felicia in unison. Before Talia could explode, Clive interjected, "What's wrong with
teaching you a lesson? You're a bunch of rude kids, and you don't even call her 'Aunt Felicia? "Great-grandpa..."
The three of them looked utterly wronged and tried to play the sympathy card. However, Clive ignored their
antics and remained stern, even dropping a bombshell.
"From now on, I'll have your aunt take over the Walsh family. If you don't treat her with respect, you might end
up with nothing. Think carefully about that."
His words were directed not just at the children but also at the adults in Noah's family and Jake. Jake didn't care
much. He was often overlooked and rarely spoke up.
But Noah's family couldn't hold back. Talia was the first to stand up in protest. "Grandpa, are you out of your
mind? Do you want to give the family fortune to an outsider, a Fuller? Don't forget you still have sons, grandsons,
and great-grandsons." Clive calmly took a sip of tea and replied, "The rules of the Walsh family state that
whoever can inherit the medical center can inherit the family. If you're all useless, don't blothers."
He added, "And whether her last nis Fuller or Walsh, my granddaughter is still my descendant."
It was true, but the other members of the Walsh family couldn't accept that.
Especially Noah's family, who had many descendants. They thought they were guaranteed to be the heirs,
believing that even if they couldn't inherit the medical center, Clive wouldn't leave them with nothing. Then, out
of nowhere, a wild card appeared.
With numerous eyes watching her, Felicia felt a bit helpless. She hadn't expected Clive to say such a thing,
effectively making her a target for their resentment.
"Grandpa, what you're saying is a bit premature. | only want to learn medicine. I'm not interested in taking

over anything."
The atmosphere had turned tense. Felicia didn't dare stay for dinner, fearing someone might poison her.
"Grandpa, I'll pass on the meal. | need to head back. My college classes will start soon, and I still have things to
prepare."
As Felicia got up to leave, Clive couldn't keep her there. He sighed and sent a driver, Charlie Freeman, to take
her home. On the way, she stopped at a street vendor and bought two sandwiches. Having not eaten all day, she
was hungry and wanted something to munch on. Felicia took a big bite of a
sandwich, and as she turned, she unexpectedly a Stephan.
Her heart skipped a beat, and memories flooded back of the day in the helicopter when Stephan had been cold
and unyielding.
He had pressed on her wound, his voice icy and laced with a warning-there would be no second chances.
Felicia quickly looked away, not daring to provoke him. She hurried back into the car, urging Charlie to leave.
After she left, Mike appeared from the side, laughing. "Looks like you scared that young lady pretty badly.
Stephan. She ran away as soon as she saw you. What did you do to her?"
