"Are you crazy?!" Harvey growled. "Do you know who he is... He's from the Hamertons! If you offend the
Hamertons, you'll have nowhere to hide!"
"I know he's from the Hamertons!" Jodie raised an eyebrow. "But I know even more that he knows my secrets!"
"Your little secrets might have been public knowledge a long time ago." Harvey showed no fear at this point, staring
at the hysterical Jodie with a determination to face their end together.
One doesn't provoke a rabid dog but could surely eliminate it.
In fact, since the first day Harvey became aware of Jodie's secret, from the first time Jodie forcibly injected him with
the shots, he had had this idea.
"Jodie!" Toph also stood up.

Harvey seemed even weaker. He was already pale but resembled a blank sheet of paper without any color now.
"You two are quite amusing." Jodie sneered. "Both facing death, yet you're trying to act tough for whom?"
Harvey was about to say something, but Toph held him back. He pressed the back of his hand, gesturing with his
eyes not to speak.
"Yeah, we're all going to die anyway," Toph sneered with disdain. "But I'm feeling a bit wronged this time. Dragged
here by you without a clue... You should at least let me die informed, right?"
"You don't need to know anything." Jodie glared at him. "You just need to die!"
Toph maintained his composure. "Since I can't escape now, why not do a good deed and tell me the answer?
Consider accumulating some good deeds!
"I disappeared at your family banquet. If my parents find out, they won't let the Newhouses off... All your life desires
are for the Newhouses' prestige and wealth, including your position as the Newhouse heiress. But if my parents
pursue it, you won't be able to keep any of these!"
"Shut up!" Jodie trembled all over.
She was no longer rational—she just wanted to destroy the world along with herself!
"You're not my sister at all." Harvey smirked. "Ten years ago, I found out that you needed insulin injections to stay
alive. You have Type 1 diabetes! You're that old woman's child—you're not my sister. Maisie is!"
Jodie laughed loudly, staring at him. "Harvey, this answer might disappoint you! I'm not the real Newhouse
daughter, but you aren't a Newhouse child either!"
"What?" Harvey's mind went blank.

"You're not Wilfred's son. You're the child of your mother and another man!"
Harvey felt a buzz in his ears, and something in his heart collapsed in that instant. He suddenly fell to his knees, a
hot surge rising through his throat, and he spat out blood!
"Harvey!" Toph hurried to support him, but his body was weak as if he would vanish the next second.
Harvey gently pushed Toph's hand away and smiled bitterly.
"Considering our many years as siblings, I'll tell you the truth!" Jodie stared coldly at him. "Our so-called parents
never had feelings for each other. Wilfred always loved another person... That woman had a child with him, and
that's Maisie!
"And you? You're just a mistake your mother made in a moment of confusion!
"Heh! Now you know why they haven't cared about you for so many years? He has no feelings for you, and she
regards you as a mistake. Why would they care about you?"
