Seeing his own son defying him publicly, Alvin, who was used to acting arrogantly as the head of the family, could not hold back
any longer.
His eyes widened in anger, and he was about to walk toward Arnold.
At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly appeared and stopped him.
"Mila?!"
The next second, a loud slap echoed through the room, shocking everyone.
Mila's eyes were full of hatred as she raised her hand and slapped Alvin fiercely in the face.
The slap was anything but gentle, causing Alvin's cheeks to sting and swell, his ears buzzing from the impact.
"Mila... You hit me?! I'm your brother!"
"My brother? Do I have a brother?"
Mila's brows furrowed sternly, her smile ruthless and cold. "Wasn't I already cast out of the Larson family by all of you, like
Arnold? Besides, you're only an adopted son." Adopted son?
Aaron and Arnold were dumbfounded.
It was a family secret. As the younger generation, they did not know about it at all, and nobody told them either!
Mila chose this moment to reveal the most confidential secret of their family to the public, showing that she did not want to leave
a shred of dignity for Alvin.
"Strictly speaking, I am the only true blood of the Larson family, the Larson Group's one and only daughter You only obtained
some power in the Larson Group because my father is sexist and favors you. Otherwise, how would you have the audacity to try
to oppress me using your status as my brother?"
"Mila Larson!" Alvin felt his vision darken out of anger, but he could not refute it.
Indeed, he was adopted.
Back then, Old Master Larson, who had been trying for a child but failed for many years, secretly adopted a boy from an
orphanage with his wife to continue the family bloodline.
But five years after they brought Alvin into the family, Old Madam Larson became pregnant and gave birth to Mila, who carried
on the bloodline.
Mila was sweet and smart. Old Master and Old Madam Larson cherished her and doted on her like their treasure. For a long
time, this beautiful daughter even changed Old Master Larson's prejudice against women as leaders.
That was until Mila met the handsome and charming Wyatt Thompson at a high-society ball.
If she had not made the shocking choice of being with Wyatt back then, she might be standing on equal footing with Alvin in the
current Larson Group.
"This slap is for Arnold! Just because he treated Wyatt, you vented your grudge using the name of your family law. You don't
deserve to be a father!"
Mila's eyes were bloodshot with anger. "But a slap is too lenient for you. We'll see each other in the business field. As long as KS
Group still stands, Larson Group can forget about dominating Hatchbay Arnold, come with me!"
"Yes, Auntie!" Arnold immediately answered and was moved to tears.
At this moment, Arnold was perfectly obedient.
Bella and Justin met each other's eyes tacitly, and they sighed in relief.
They were afraid that the Larson family would use blood ties to bind Arnold and bend him to their will with patriarchal authority.
