NovelEnglishChapter 1169 Sharon stole a glance at Sage, struck by his uncanny resemblance to Timothy.
They could almost be mistaken for twins.
The undeniable truth stared back at her: Sage was Timothy's son.
However, the memory of how she had nearly endangered Sage's life filled Sharon with overwhelming guilt, making it impossible for her to face Mia.
Summoning her courage, Sharon pushed back, "But can all the blame truly be laid at my feet? If only you had been honest from the start, I wouldn't have prevented Timothy from donating his bone marrow.

"What do you mean by intentionally deceiving you? Are you suggesting that if Ginger and Sage weren't Timothy's children, you and Luna would have been justified in plotting against them? Are you both unaware that murder isa crime?" Mia found Sharon's logic utterly baffling.
Meanwhile, Sharon was left speechless, unable to muster a single word in response.
She never expected Mia to give birth to
twins—aboy and a girl.
Initially, Sharon's intention was simply to teach Mia a lesson by swapping the marrow, but she never imagined the potential risk of endangering her grandson in the process.
If there had been any genuine missteps back then, the potential consequences would have been utterly unimaginable.
While Sharon reflected on this, she nearly lost her balance, her resolve wavering.
Stepping forward, Edith reached out to steady Sharon, her voice firm. "Why stoop to her level?" she quipped.
"You're this little boy's grandmother, for goodness’ sake,
( *15BONUS "Right now, he understands nothing, But as he grows older, he'll realize the importance of being part of the Barrett family.
"After all, who in their right mind would willingly abandon such a substantial inheritance only to endure hardship abroad with their mother?" Ginger couldn't hold her silence any longer. She turned to Edith, asserting, "Mommy would never allow us to suffer. We're happy with her." "Really, what could a young girl like you possibly understand? Even if you wanted to go back to the Barrett family, they wouldn't accept you.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"They only care about that little boy.
You see, it's through a son that they carry on the family name and
lineage." In an instant, tears filled Ginger's eyes, her heart heavy with emotion.
Seeing Ginger's distress, Timothy quickly embraced her, giving Edith a stern look. "You better watch what you say," he warned.
"I'm not wrong, am I? Throughout history, it's been sons who've upheld the family legacy. When have you ever heard of daughters inheriting the family estate?" "Just because it's unconventional doesn't mean it's out of the question. If Ginger expresses such a wish in the future, I'm fully prepared to pass down all of my family's possessions to her." "This is completely unacceptable! If
you're considering passing on to your daughter, you might as well think about my son. After all, your cousin is also a boy. He can eventually inherit everything from the Barrett family in your place." Mia could easily discern Edith's motives. Wasn't she just trying to stir up trouble by exploiting the fact that Timothy didn't have any legal heirs? Timothy's tone grew icy as he warned, "I suggest you abandon that idea. Even if I were to distribute all of my assets, not a single cent would go to an outsider." Upon hearing Timothy's words, Edith quickly turned to Sharon. "Did you hear what Tim just said? Why should the wealth of the Barrett family be
given to an outsider?" In response, Sharon forcefully pushed Edith aside. "Don't think I'm unaware of your intentions. It seems you all believe that because Tim doesn't have any legal heirs, there's nobody to inherit his wealth, right? "Let me make it crystal clear: all of Tim's assets belong to him alone, and none of you will receive a single penny!" "Sharon, what's come over you? Didn't Mom and Dad teach us better? Just look at how Ralph is struggling in Nord City.
"With the Barrett family's immense wealth, what's the harm in lending a hand? I truly don't see any issue with sharing a portion with Ralph when the opportunity arises." ©»
