Chapter 77
Vincent went back to the Fletcher residence and entered the study with Kevin.
After a while, a loud sound was heard. Kevin was so angry that he smashed his favorite ornament.
He asked Paul to call back Raphael, Frederick, and their families.
An hour later, the Fletcher family gathered in the center of the living room.
Raphael thought, ‘This isn’t good. Dad keeps glancing at me and Lorelai. Is what happened today exposed? No way! It’s impossible!”
Kevin snorted. “Raphael, I’ll give you a chance to speak out about the bad things you’ve done. Otherwise, you’ll end up like Douglas after I show you the
evidence!”
Raphael refused to admit it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Kevin was so angry that he grabbed the coffee cup on the coffee table and smashed it at Raphael. “You sent someone to attack Vincent in the cemetery today just to test if he is still limping, Raphael, he is your younger brother. Do you know what you are doing?”
Raphael pressed his lips. “Dad, I really didn’t do what you said. Why should I test Vincent?”
“Why? You’re well aware!” Kevin glanced at Raphael coldly. “I know you won’t admit it. I’ve found the evidence! Bring him here!”
Soon, a bodyguard dragged a dying z man in.
The man groaned painfully. “Please spare me. Someone offered 20,000 dollars to hire me. I’m short of money, so I agreed to do it”
Raphael said, “So, you suspect that I’m the one who hired him? Have you found out that it’s me?”
He did not contact the man directly, and they could not find out anything about him, so he had nothing to fear.
Kevin said coldly. “What’s the rush? Paul, bring the child in.”
Paul nodded. “Yes”
Soon, Paul held a boy’s hand and walked in.
When the boy saw Lorelai, he ran to her. “Ma’am, you told me there were candies. I went there. Why couldn’t I find any? I almost fell down the stairs!”
Lorelai was stunned. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
The boy grabbed her hand. “It’s you, it’s you. I recognize you. How can you lie to a child? Grandpa once said that liars will hurt their tongue!”
Lorelai let go of his hand. “I don’t know what you are talking about! Get out of here!”
The boy cried and grabbed her hand again. “You big liar, you will have a long nose in the future! You lied to me that there were candies to eat…”
Annoyed, Lorelai pushed the boy to the ground. “You’re so annoying. It’s not me, but..”
She shut up before she could finish her words.
Vincent raised his eyebrows slightly. “But who? Lorelai, shouldn’t you make it clear?”
Instantly, Lorelai’s face turned pale, and so did Raphael’s.
Frederick, who had been silent all the timy, said, “During today’s funeral, I was actually very curious about Raphael and Lorelai’s show up. After all, after Douglas left the Fletcher family, Raphaeland Lorelai shouldn’t have come to Austin’s funeral. You not only attended it today but also looked very

attentive. After parking the car at the cemetery, you chased after Vincent and Stephanie, looking very anxious.”
Blue veins stood out on the back of Raphael’s clenched fists. “Show me substantial evidencel”
Vincent sneered. “Lorelai, didn’t you spill the beans? Let me tell the truth. You were sent by Douglas to test if I am disabled or not.”

Raphael said concernedly, “Vincent, why do you say that? If your legs have recovered, we will be very happy. Lorelai didn’t spill anything just now, but she was just annoyed by the child. It’s too arbitrary for you to guess the second half of the sentence.”
Lorelai calmed herself down, “Yes, I was annoyed by that child just now. Besides, il Vincent recovers, you will tell your parents, won’t you? Why would you hide it?”
Kevin narrowed his eyes and snorted. “There’s no need to say anything else, Raphael, resign from all the posts of Fletcher Group in the future!”
Both Raphael and Lorelai were shocked and said in unison, “Dad!”
With a cold look in his eyes, Kevin waved his hand. “There’s no need to say anything more. You and Lorelai are responsible for what happened to Douglas today. The child follows the parents’ behavior. You can take over the foreign branch company in Beskary, which is my last mercy. Otherwise, you can keep the stock dividends every year. You caused trouble at Austin’s funeral, and Vincent is your biological brother. Is this how I taught you? It really disappointed me!”
Raphael wanted to say something more, but Kevin stood up. “If you don’t want to be removed from the family registry like Douglas, don’t refute me!” Then, he walked toward the study.
Lorelai looked at Ellen, who had been drinking coffee quietly. Lorelai asked, “Ellen, can you please plead for Raphael?”
Ellen put down the coffee cup and looked at Raphael and Lorelai. “When Douglas made trouble, he didn’t hurt people. Even if he’s my own son, endured it. Now, he has challenged my and your father’s bottom line again and again. Do you really think we are dead? Raphael, you really disappointed
Raphael ground his teeth. “Mom, you and Dad have been biased toward Vincent since childhood. Now, the group is also handed over to him. What did Frederick and I get?”
Frederick frowned. “Raphael, I have no objection to Vincent. Don’t take me with you if you are dissatisfied with him, I know Vincent’s ability, so I won’t compete with him.”
Raphael was furious.
group will naturally be handed over to you. Look at Douglas-what’s the situation of Fantasy
Ellen sighed. “If you are stronger than Vincent, the g Boutique?”
Lorelai’s eyes turned red. “If Stephanie didn’t expose Florence, Fantasy Boutique wouldn’t have gone bankrupt!”
Ellen wanted to talk calmly, but when she heard that, she became furious. “What are you talking about? Should Stephiebe Florence’s vocal double and provide her unlimited rough sketches? Lorelai, do you know why I gave the heirloom emerald bracelet to Stephie but not you?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Lorelai gritted her teeth. “It’s all because you favor Vincent. So, you favor Stephaniel”
“You are wrong!” Ellen stared at her. “It’s because you are evil!”
Lorelal was annoyed, and she looked at Edith. “Ellen doesn’t like you either!”
Edith was not bothered at all and said in a gentle voice, “I don’t have that kind of potential, and I don’t care about it either.”
Lorelai was speechless.
Raphael pulled Lorelai up. “Tell Dad that I agree to go to the branch company in Beskary”
Lorelai wanted to argue more but was stopped by Raphael’s cold eyes.

The two of them got in the car and drove away from the Fletcher residence. Then, they stopped by the road and began to quarrel.
At the same time, Paul went to check Kevin’s condition, only to find that Kevin had fainted on the table.
Paul quickly ran to the living room. “Mr. Kevin Fletcher got so angry that he fainted!”
Vincent called Stephanie immediately to explain the situation.
Stephanie said that she was worried about Kevin and was on her way there.

She asked Vincent to check Kevin’s breath. When she knew that Kevin’s breath was stable, she said that they did not need to send him to the hospital. She would come back immediately.”
Stephanie pressed on the accelerator hard and drove toward the Fletcher residence.
Lorelai, who was quarreling with Raphael in the car by the roadside, suddenly stopped arguing. “Is that Vincent’s car? Why did he drive so fast?”
Raphael frowned. “A person who can drive Vincent’s car must be Stephanie, right? It’s so fast. Did something wrong happen in the Fletcher residence?”
Raphael called a spy in the Fletcher residence. “What’s going on?”
His spy replied. “Mr. Kevin Fletcher passed out because of anger. They are waiting for Mrs. Stephanie Fletcher.”
Raphael rolled his eyes. “What can she do?”
The spy said, “She seems to have some medical skills.”
Raphael narrowed
his eyes. “Report the situation to me later.””
