CHAPTER 519 BETRAY

As soon as he finished, the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.

Stunned, everyone around couldn’t help gossiping with great disbelief.

“No way! She’s Leo’s daughter?”

“I heard that Leo had a daughter. That must be true.”

“How come her daughter shows up here?”

“Hey, it’s grandpa's birthday! What the hell are you doing with that little bastard? Are you messing

around grandpa’s banquet?”

The gossip started to spread all over while they fixed their eyes on Laura wryly.

Laura froze on spot out of shock. Then she glared at Jonah with her eyes wide open. Driven by

madness, she felt like tearing him apart!

“Jonah, you…” never had she expected that it was her twin brother who sold her out.

“Why?” as Laura collected herself, she questioned madly.

Jonah replied with a sneer while looking at her, “Laura, I did this for you!”

“We are both parts of the Watts. You should tell which side you are on. Don’t confuse your own side

with your enemy’s!”

Laura was rendered outrageous, “I never confuse myself! Leo is my enemy! But the girl is innocent!”

Jonah sighed and shook his head, “Laura, as your brother, I can stand by while watching you stray

away.”

“But you didn’t seem to notice your own fault. Sorry, I got to leave it to grandpa to decide.”

Then Jonah looked at Ayan, “Grandpa, I have to apologize for Laura bringing Leo’s daughter to your

banquet, which must be a bummer!”

Meanwhile, Ayan was irritated. His face was burning with rage. He shouted at Laura, “What is going

on?”

His twisted mad face scared Emilia.

“Who are they…I am scared…” she locked her arms tight on Laura’s neck.

Laura hurried to comfort her, “Don’t worry. I am here with you.”

But Laura didn’t explain the reason why she brought Emilia here. Instead, she said, “Grandpa, even if

she’s Leo’s daughter, she’s innocent. I’m sure you must be generous enough to allow her to stay.”

“Are you lecturing grandpa?” Lane shouted.

He was the one bearing the worst hatred against Leo. He felt like tearing this little girl apart.

“Grandpa, there is no denying that Laura messed up your birthday because she brought that little

bastard here! I know Laura has been outstanding. But under no circumstance should she challenge

your bottom line.”

Hearing that, the others all started to echo.

“Yeah, grandpa, today is your birthday! There is no way to let this little bastard screw it up.”

“Get her out!”

“Get her out!”

…

Soon, the rest of them all started yelling to get Emilia out of the manor.

Emilia was too scared to utter.

As for those guests, they were all aware that there was a young man named Leo who had smashed the

former resident of the Watts.

Some of them echoed with a smirk, “Ayan, as the leader of the family, you should know how important

to maintain your dignity. Now the daughter of your enemy shows up at your banquet. Are you sure you

are not going to do something?”

Hearing that, Ayan grew more and more sullen. Something violent was brewing in his eyes.

Noticing that, Jonah took the chance to incite, “Grandpa, I heard that you have ever thought about

making Laura your inheritor. Is that true?”

Undoubtedly, this question made this whole thing worse.

Ayan totally went mad.

Actually, that was true. What was more, he had strongly believed that this should be the only wise

decision to make.

However, now he totally dropped this idea!

No matter how outstanding and privileged Laura had been, what she had done today greatly offended

his bottom line.

Ayan swore to God that he would never let the same thing happen again!

“Nonsense! I have never mentioned it.”

His face was stuffed with sulkiness while he was staring at Jonah.

But Jonah didn’t seem to be afraid. Instead, he hurried to ask tentatively with a smug, “Well…if Laura

has been excluded, who else could it be?”

Ayan soon noticed what he meant. Then he squinted at him.

Both Jonah and Laura had been well-educated from abroad.

Though Jonah was less outstanding than Laura, he actually appeared more ambitious, sticking to

strong purposiveness.

Undoubtedly, he was the perfect choice other than Laura among the younger generation.

What was more, Ayan found it hard to figure out a better option.

So he answered, “Well, since then, let’s make it clear to the public.”

Then Ayan looked around the venue and continued in loud voice, “Today is my seventieth birthday. I

am too old to lead the family. And it’s time for me to retire. However, our family is still on the path to its

prime. So a capable inheritor is necessary! And he shall lead our family to reach the top!”

As soon as he finished, everyone around couldn’t help getting expectant and thrilled.

Finally, it was time to announce the name of the inheritor.

Jonah was getting thrilled as well.

The moment he had been expecting was coming!

Ayan cleared his voice and continued, “The head of the family shall be both capable and prestigious.”

“Now all of you vote for the one you deem the most perfect candidate to be the inheritor. The one

getting the most votes shall be the one we want!”

Hearing that, the rest of them all turned to be stunned.

But Jonah seemed quite confident.

Suddenly, Lane, Albie, and Hollie all stared at Jonah.

“I vote for Jonah!”

“Me too!”

“Jonah!”

All of them exclaimed to vote for Jonah except for Laura, who remained silent. Original from .

None of them actually voted for Laura!

Then, Ayan announced, “Jonah Watts, from now on, you shall be my inheritor to lead the family!”

Soon, the venue was filled with applause.

Everyone present started to look at Jonah to congratulate him.

At this moment, Laura could tell what was going on.

However, her heart felt like falling into an abyss as if someone stabbed it with a dagger and threw it

away.

“Jonah, you are the one who leads all the rivals against me among them, right?” staring at his excited

look of Jonah, Laura questioned coldly.
