Hearing these words. I wasn’t at all surprised. The reason why Boltons had stood strong for so many years was because of Jeffrey. 

He was far more decisive than the average person, not like Josh, who only cared about immediate gains. 

Anna probably never expected that her greatest trump card–this child–would be rejected by Jeffrey. 

Given his age, Jeffrey’s greatest wish had always been to see a child born into the family. 

So, she took a dangerous gamble by keeping this child. Little did she know, Jeffrey outright rejected the 

idea 

“Jeffrey, this is the first child of Boltons. It could even be a son. Are you sure you can let it go?” Anna asked. 

Jeffrey snorted coldly. “I don’t care about the chaos in other people’s families. But in my family, only the woman I accept as a daughter–in–law can bear the true heir. It was Chloe before- even if she’s dead, it’s still not for you, a woman with ulterior motives.” 

He shot Anna a contemptuous glance and added, “The world is full of women who can have children. Even without Chloe. Luke could marry someone from a suitable background, and there are plenty of choices. Besides, Carter is already married. Zoey is capable of bearing an heir for the family. Why are you worried about this?” 

With just a few words, Jeffrey dismissed Anna completely. 

At that moment, Anna came to the realization that Zoey’s original intention was not to marry into the family. I was the only unforeseen element in her plans 

Jeffrey turned to me and said, “Come here, Zoey” 

I walked slowly toward Jeffrey and sat beside him. 

“You have just married into the family, I’m sorry for you having to witness this mess.” 

“It’s alright, I understand. Every family has its struggles. I just feel sorry for Chloe,” I replied, my gaze cold as it landed on Luke’s face. 

“She just passed away recently, and her husband is already with his own sister. If I were her, I’d never find peace in the afterlife.” 

Luke saw the chilliness in my eyes, his face pale as my words sank in. It was as if Chloe herself had been speaking through me. 

“You’re like Chloe–you win my 

favor. Since you’re married to Carter, you’re my recognized daughter–in- law, Jeffrey said. “Hugo, bring me the emerald set my late wife left.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

I knew she had a set of magnificent emeralds–though lacked color, the quality of the material was unmatched. The clarity and transparency were perfect without any cloudiness or impurities. Just a single bangle could be worth millions, let alone the entire set

Chapter 124 The Boltons Wouldn’t Accept A Bastard

The thing about such treasures was that they were almost impossible to find nowadays–there was nothing left on the market that compared. 

Zoey, Jeffrey continued, “I must tell you, before you, really liked Luke’s fiancée. She resembled you some ways. This set of jewelry was meant for her, but sadly, that child wasn’t meant to be. Perhaps it’s fate. You’ve married into the family, and from now on, you are Mrs. Bolton in my eyes.” 

Π 

The title of Mrs. Bolton wasn’t just about being someone’s wife. The Boltons had many women with the last name Bolton, but only one woman could truly hold the title. 

That woman was the head of the household! 

Sheila had pretended for years just to get that title, and how it seemed Anna had done everything she could for Jeffrey’s approval. 

But it was I who beat her to the punch. 

“Dad!” Adam exclaimed, his face filled with concern. 

“Even if you’re giving something away, it should go to the first granddaughter–in–law, not your youngest daughter–in–law.” 

Jeffrey shot a cold look at Sheila, who appeared fragile and pitiful. His expression showed clear irritation. 

“Someone like her, with an unclear background, is fit to be Mrs. Bolton? Bah! I don’t think so!” He spat. Hugo brought the jewelry. As soon as the box was opened, I was astonished by its brilliance. I had heard how beautiful it was, but seeing it in person was something else it was stunning, the clarity overwhelming. 

“Zoey, from now on, it will be your responsibility to carry on the family legacy,” Jeffrey said.
