Chapter 1466 The Silence

"What does that even mean? And you think this five million is enough to brush me off?” scoffed Lylacondescendingly.

To that, Brandon's assistant chuckled and decided that there was no point in playing nice with Lylaany longer.

"How much exactly do you want then? That man has already done so much for you for so manyyears, and you're still not content? You look perfectly fine to me, so I don't see why you needhandouts. Besides, he has a kid to raise now. How much more are you planning to take from him?”“A kid? What kid?” The Emmanuels were stunned by the sudden piece of information.

"What are you talking about? Whose kid is that?” questioned Matilda.

“You don’t know? It's Ms. Fischer's. That kid was no test-tube baby. She only told Brandon thatbecause she had no other choice. You probably had no idea that she had severe depression becauseof your family’s constant abuse. In the end, she decided to take her own life,” sneered the assistantas if he was talking to a bunch of hideous and revolting creatures.

Unsure of how to respond to that, the Emmanuels fell dead silent.

Each and every one of them was instantly drained of colors when the guilt set in.

Willow is dead because of severe depression? Does that mean Brandon will never come back? Thatman probably thinks this five million is already more than what we deserve.

When the Emmanuels finally realized how serious the matter was, they all panicked. “That's not whathappened. Please, you have to get him to come back. We'll explain everything.”

“No. He's never going to come back.” With that, the assistant turned around indifferently and leftthe family to their own thoughts.

Suddenly, they heard a loud bang from behind and realized that Matilda had fallen off herwheelchair.

A week after that, news of Matilda's death spread to Jadeborough.

“Your aunt just passed away. Will you be going to her funeral?” asked Sasha after making her waydownstairs to Sebastian.

“What aunt?” responded the man coldly with a rhetorical question as he continued working on hiscomputer.

Sasha said nothing else after that, for she knew that none of the Hayeses wanted anything to dowith Matilda anymore.

Even though Brandon convinced two of the most powerful Emmanuels to visit Matilda duringfestive seasons, not even a single member of the family attended the old lady's funeral. In the end,the ceremony was rather pathetic.

Meanwhile, at Hillside Villa, Ichika wondered if she should attend the funeral since her husband wasin charge of running Hayes Corporation at the moment.

However, Solomon could not care less.

After finishing his work at the office, Solomon could not stop thinking about how Ichika cried everynight since Brandon took the child away in these ten days ago.

"What's troubling you, Mr. George?” inquired Luke.

After a moment of thought, Solomon looked intently at the assistant from behind his desk andasked, “After you got married, how long did it take before you had a child?”

"What?" Luke was dumbfounded by the man’s odd question. Why is Mr. George asking me that?Although he was surprised, Luke quickly figured out Solomon's intention since he was also a man,so he decided to be forthcoming with his superior. “My wife got pregnant two months into ourmarriage.”

“Two months?” Solomon was slightly shocked because it had been six months since he startedsleeping with Ichika. Only two months? Then why isn't Ichika pregnant yet? If only we could have ababy. Then she wouldn't be this sad.

"Yeah. We wanted to have children right after we got married, so there was no birth control. Andbefore we knew it, she got pregnant.” Since Luke only became a father not long ago, he blushed alittle on the topic.

Solomon never had much to talk about with his assistant, but after hearing what the man said, hequickly followed up with another question. “Do you... Is there a trick to this? Because we've tried butnothing happened.”

“Really? I thought she never got pregnant because you two didn't want children yet,” stated Lukewith his eyes widened in surprise.

Slightly embarrassed, Solomon cleared his throat before responding to his assistant. “Actually, wedo.”

“Maybe it's because of her ovulation.”

“Ovulation?”

"Yeah. You know. My wife wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, so she took her temperaturein the morning. She also did the same in the evening. And she even tracked her periods so that weknow when to... to do the deed.” Even though it was just the two of them, Luke still could not helpbut feel awkward as he talked about sex and pregnancy with his superior.

After that, Solomon decided to follow Luke's suggestion, so he had the assistant get him everythinghis wife would need to get impregnated. It has to work now!
