Chapter 310 Kneel and Apologize
His voice was barely above a whisper, so low that only the two of them could hear it.
Jean’s heart screamed with alarm.
She turned in a hurry and tried to run for the front door.

But her arm was seized by a powerful force. Matheo, like a stubborn poisonous snake, gripped her with icy fingers, his grip unyielding. His face still wore a mask of kindness. “Why are you running? Didn’t I say I just wanted to eat with you?”
As he spoke, his hand on her shoulder suddenly brushed past her nose.
A strange, sweet scent flooded her nostrils.
What…?
Jean’s eyes widened, her heartbeat quickening inexplicably.
“You…” She glanced at the servants, trying to call for help, but it was too late.
Every nerve in her body seemed to go numb. Her head grew heavy, her consciousness slipping away. It was as if she had lost control of her body, helplessly following Matheo out of the mansion…
Then darkness swallowed her vision, and she blacked out completely.
This old bastard just won’t give up! How dare he use such devious methods…
That was her last thought before everything faded away.
When Jean awoke, she found herself lying on a pristine white bed.
The windows were closed tightly, the curtains drawn so tightly that not a ray of light could penetrate. The room was dim and stifling.
Her head throbbed as if it had been smashed and awkwardly reassembled. The pain made her grimace.
I had been kidnapped.
Jean sat up, scanning her surroundings and calmly assessing the situation.
Matheo had taken me from the Ginger mansion.
The man must have drugged me…
But what is his goal? Why go to such lengths to get me out of the house?
Bang!
The door swung open.
Matheo’s shadowy face suddenly appeared, startling her.

Seeing that utterly hypocritical expression again made her stomach churn with disgust.

“What the hell do you want?” Jean clenched her fists, her voice sharp with anger. “How dare you pretend to be a loving father? You’re no better than a kidnapper”
Matheo only scoffed, his lips curling into a sinister grin. “I want you to meet someone… I couldn’t bring her to the Ginger mansion, so I had to bring you instead
With that, he turned to the doorway where someone seemed to be standing
Jean’s view was completely blocked, so it was impossible to see who it was.
“Julia, come in.”
Matheo’s tone softened slightly, his demeanor changing so drastically it was as if he were a different person.
Then, movement at the door–Jean’s breath caught as a familiar figure stepped into view.
Julia.
The same Julia who had attended the variety show with me, the one who had stood by and done nothing while I was in danger, the one who had smeared Easton’s reputation…
Jean’s mind reeled in chaos.
She looked at Matheo, then at Julia, and as the pieces came together, a terrible suspicion surged through
her.
Don’t tell me… Julia is Matheo’s illegitimate daughter?!
Matheo suddenly turned back to her.
Now there was no need for pretense. He narrowed his eyes at Jean and feigned innocence. “You are so clever, Jean. You must have figured out who she is by now, right?”
He put an arm around Julia’s shoulders and pulled her close.
Julia stared back blankly, her face devoid of emotion, radiating nothing but cold arrogance.
“During the show, you made our Julia very unhappy,” Matheo sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. “And then you frightened her…. Kneel and apologize, Jean Ginger.”
