Chapter 645 - 644: Whose Daughter Is She?
The Dowager Kane approached the stage, supported by Mrs. Kane and a servant.
Julia Kane and Wayne Jennings followed behind her.
Wayne, still not fully recovered from his injuries, looked frightening with bruises all over his face, and his careless glance around made the noble ladies hide behind their family members.
No matter how powerful the Kane Family was, few were inclined to greet them, and no young lady would be interested in Wayne.
"Mom, you’ve arrived," June Kane stepped forward, and greeted the Dowager Kane with a smile.
The fact that the Sterling Family didn’t invite the Kane Family made June Kane furious, prompting her to have an argument with Mr. Sterling.
"Let me help you over to the old gentleman’s place to sit."
June Kane smiled again and spoke, but the Dowager Kane ignored her advice, remaining in place and casting a cold smile toward Old Mr. Sterling and Mrs. Sterling.
"I did not come to attend the engagement banquet of the Eldest Miss Sterling."
As her words fell, murmurs of the guests arose around.
It seems the relationship between the Sterling and Kane Families isn’t as good as before.
"I came here to seek fairness for my daughter."
The icy voice emerged again from the Dowager Kane’s mouth. Not only did the guests not comprehend, but June Kane was also taken aback.
"Mom, what fairness?"
June Kane’s smile stiffened on her face as she asked, not wanting the Dowager Kane to reveal Serena Sullivan’s lineage.
This could damage Simon Sterling’s reputation, but it would bring no advantage to herself.
"The Dowager Kane, if you came to attend the engagement party, the Sterling Family welcomes you. If you intend to say things that are nonsense! Please take the Kane Family and get out!"
Old Mr. Sterling stood up, his voice cold as he shouted.
The Dowager Kane sneered, "What’s this? My daughter was bullied in the Sterling Family? Is the Kane Family not allowed to come here for an explanation?"
June Kane is the Kane Family’s eldest daughter, protected by a mother like the Dowager Kane; who in the Sterling Family would dare to mistreat her!
June Kane did not act against Serena Sullivan, nor did the Sterling Family harbor any dislike toward her.
"Escort the Kane Family out."
The old gentleman did not argue further with the Dowager Kane and summoned the security to enter.
"Who dares!" The Dowager Kane emphatically tapped her cane on the ground, with a cold voice she continued, "This hotel is owned by The Sterling Corporation; the profits belong to our Kane Family."
She subtly reminded the Sterling Family and all guests that the Kane Family was indeed the wealthiest family in the Imperial Capital, and much of what Simon Sterling earned over the years was pocketed by the Kane Family.
Old Mr. Sterling was infuriated by her words; he turned his head to glare at Simon Sterling behind him, who was expressionless.
"All because of this son!"
"Old Mr. Sterling!"
The Dowager Kane, her tone softened, looked toward Serena Sullivan on the stage, with a smile playing at her lips, "I came purely for the truth."
"Your newly acknowledged granddaughter, whose daughter is she?"
Previously, rumors circulated that Serena Sullivan wasn’t James Sterling’s child, but Simon’s.
With the Dowager Kane’s inquiry, guests instantly believed the rumor was true.
"Is Nancy Sterling truly Simon Sterling’s daughter?"
"Just how old is she compared to Felicity Sterling? Or did Simon Sterling keep two households back then?"
"Who is Nancy Sterling’s biological mother?"
...
One question after another rang out at the banquet, as Mrs. Sterling paled, looking at the Dowager Kane; she didn’t want Simon to reclaim Serena, but why did the Dowager Kane stir this trouble!
"Mom, what are you babbling! Nancy is naturally my older brother’s biological daughter."
Mrs. Sterling reached out to grasp the Dowager Kane’s hands, signaling with her eyes for the old lady to stop speaking.
