Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645

Yet, there was no way to tell Kenneth these words. The old man simply wouldn't listen. Kenneth firmly believed that Oliver was capable of anything, and surpassing Julian was only a matter of his willingness, not whether it could be achieved.

Seeing Oliver remain silent for a long time, Kenneth softened his tone. "This opportunity to target Fulcher Inc. is a once in a lifetime chance. Don't you want to give it a try?"

He ignored the scattered beads on the ground as he stepped over them, causing cracking sounds to echo in the room as he approached Oliver.

He whispered something into Oliver's ear, something mindshattering and unexpected.

The content of those words was too shocking, and Oliver could hardly bring himself to speak.

"Y-You mean... Simon isn't my stepbrother and isn't related to me by blood? H-He's..."

It was simply too shocking to finish the sentence.

But Kenneth continued to smile and nod. "You heard correctly. Simon is from the Fulcher family. But from the day he was born, he became the Fulchers' abandoned illegitimate child because Julian's mother couldn't accept him."

The situation grew increasingly absurd.

Everyone knew Julian's parents had a loving relationship throughout their lives, and it was impossible for an illegitimate child to appear so suddenly...

"It's true.” Kenneth nodded. "Why do you think the Channing family, which has been in the spotlight all these years, hasn't been suppressed by Fulcher Inc.?"

Oliver blinked, and his expression twisted as he quickly realized the critical point. "Madam Fulcher?"

"Yes." Kenneth sighed. "But now, she's dead."

All those years, the Channing family had helped cover up this scandal for the Fulcher family. With the secret supporters gone and Julian unaware of the truth, what could he do to the Channing family in the future?

Kenneth had to make his move before Julian did.

His tone serious, Kenneth continued, "Whether you want it or not, you have to bear the responsibility of being the heir. Even if you're reluctant to accept it, you still have to."

In other words, Oliver had no choice, even if he didn't want to get involved in the conflict against the united power of the Pabians against Fulcher Inc.

Oliver looked at his aging father. For the first time, felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders.

He knew Kenneth's health wouldn't hold up for much longer.

The medical devices by the latter’s bedside had only increased since the last time he was here.

It was why Kenneth was so anxious to see what heights the Channings could reach under Oliver's leadership before he closed his eyes.

Alas, their enemy was Julian after all...
