When James heard this, her anger burned her heart, and Irene dropped the teacup near the table.

  Chris and the others stood at the door with killing intent in their eyes.

  By this time, Florence had been taken aback by Jack's words.

  Her face gradually faded to a reddish tint, and an iron blue tinge appeared.

  "Jack, how dare you slander me!" Florence was panting, her fingers tightly squeezing the teacup.

  She had enjoyed a lifetime of noble reputation, how could she allow others to slander her out in the open?!

  "Jack, what are you saying…… is it true?".

  James walked over to Jack and squeezed his arm, losing control of his emotions.

  Jack lowered his head, his hair snapped at the corners of his eyes. His voice mumbled as he nodded vigorously. "Brother, I'm a sinner. It's all my fault! Everything is all my fault! But Jean isn't wrong. He suffered because of what I did. I'm ashamed of you, and I shouldn't even hope to see you again."

  "But I can't stand still when our family keeps getting the blame that shouldn't be ours. All the hatred and misfortune you've received are sins that I've committed. Uncle Hans told me about the matter. After he finished abducting Jean back then, he said it to me himself. The Ricardo family did not participate in the kidnapping, but he leaked Jean's whereabouts to the perpetrator."

  "Their family knows that our Widjaya family is in chaos, and people are also taking advantage of it. Luckily, Jean is okay, if not……then I'll make sure anyone who contributed to it will die!"

  "I really do not deserve to stand in front of you, but I had no choice. I can't stand you bearing this mistake again. I know you won't forgive me, and I have never forgiven myself for the death of our parents"

  Florence's face was full of anger, but she was speechless.

  Right now, the one who couldn't accept all the words that Jack had spoken was Alfred.

  He looked at her grandmother unfocused, thinking that after his father's death, he had been constantly suppressing his anger.

  His grandmother said that his father's death was not an accident and that he was killed by the Widjaya family.

  She also said that after his father's death, the Ricardo family's property was taken over by Widjaya's family.

  His grandmother even told him that he was not allowed to leave the house. If the Widjaya family found out he was still alive, they would attack him. After that, he buried his identity deep into the darkness.

  In Alfred's youth, the most ingrained thoughts were that his father was murdered and that he could not return home if he had his surname.

  He went to school to teach because he could not easily return to the Ricardo family's house.

  Everyone saw him as poor and not able to fight.

  He was swept away and helpless, his mother was expelled and could not return to their family. For more than ten years, Alfred has been up and down on adventures to avenge his father, all backed by deep-rooted hatred.

  Of course, he kept a low profile and eventually won the Ricardo family's inheritance.

  All of his uncles and cousins tried to get on his way.

  With the financial support of the Ricardo family, he can finally begin his revenge plan.

  But what did he just hear?

  Blinded by deep hatred, it turns out that his grandmother deliberately prevented him from seeing the truth.

  It turns out that the Ricardo family's dominance at the top of the pyramid is not because of his grandmother's fame, but by countless cunning methods!

  Alfred's previous anger turned into self-doubt this time.

  He looked intently at Florence, and said blankly, "Grandma, is that true?"

  Florence's eyes were filled with anger, and the next second she stepped forward and said angrily, "Alfred, I am your grandmother. How could you doubt me!? Have you forgotten how I've protected you all this time?"

  In this situation, Alfred was speechless when faced with the old woman's rebuke.

  His eyes were filled with confusion and doubt, he looked down blankly, and fell into a deep doubt.

  By now, James had helped Jack to sit back down.

  Between his fine brows, great anger froze. "Mrs. Florence, is what my second brother said true?"

  The Patriarch of the Widjaya family died in a plane crash, and the family fell into chaos overnight.

  In the midst of the tense situation, James decided to take over the family business to keep the Widjaya family going.

  Due to the sudden death of his parents, many people came to express their condolences and persuade him to join power.

  And the situation got worse once the leadership status in his family was open for a bloody power struggle.

  It was at this critical moment that Jean suddenly disappeared.

  For three whole months, they sent people to search in many places, but no one was able to find him.

  Later, although Jean was found again, he seemed to have been severely tortured both physically and mentally.

  The cheerful and active young man became quiet overnight, completely changed.

  All the events of the past had been revealed one by one, and the veil that prevented them from finding the truth had been lifted, but the rage was still gushing out like volcanic magma.

  What is the loss for the Ricardo family compared to what disaster they have brought to the Widjaya family over the years?

  Even though her face is full of wrinkles, Florence is known as a generous and kind person, but her heart is just plain rotten with unpredictable intentions.

  James was distressed by the images in his memory.

  He walked towards Florence step by step, his eyes cold.

  At this moment, Florence had a calm face, ignoring James' question.

  She squinted at Alfred, then walked to the sofa quietly and sat down. "Jack, you're full of lies, you really are shameless! You just want to pour all this senseless blame on my family! Where's the evidence? If there's no evidence then it's just a baseless accusation!"

  Florence shouted in a low voice, still looking calm even after being exposed.

  After all, she was a person who had experienced the violent winds and waves, and the unpredictable cruelty of war.

  This sight fell in Jack's eyes, and he immediately shouted in his hoarse voice.

  His rough voice was like a ghost crying in the middle of the night, which made people very uncomfortable. But he doesn't care and bravely faces Florence's accusation. After laughing, he sighed and shook his head. "Mrs Florence, you seem to be dying to turn back the situation."

  "If I haven't showed up today, are you afraid that your previous attempts will look ridiculous? Everyone insists on their own opinion, and you don't believe what I say. Then… For every accusation you have made before, our Widjaya family can also deny it!"

  Florence is choking!

  And Chris, who had watched the show, couldn't help but say sarcastically. "Second brother is right! Since you don't believe what Mr. Jack said, why should we believe in the Ricardo family?"

  "In terms of identity, status, connections, and character, in what ways is the Ricardo family compared to the Widjaya family? Alfred, how many cunning tricks have you used before? Do you need my help to count it? As for madam Florence, even if you said you're an old acquaintance of Mr. Caleb, look at the things you have done. Does your own son know that you've driven his child into mindlessly blaming others like this?"

  Speaking of Caleb, Florence's indifferent expression finally showed a tendency to break.

  She glared at Chris, an invisible trace of tension rose on her cheeks.

  "Cough, cough, cough!"
