Jean’s words rang out like a thunderclap, shaking everyone to their core. Her brothers exchanged glances, some with dark expressions, others seeming lost in thought, and a few with flashes of surprise across their faces.
Emily and Julia looked at each other, eyes locking for a moment-
In that instant, mother and daughter seemed to share an unspoken understanding; a wave of unease and panic surged in both their hearts.
They had been with Matheo for so many years–of course, there were feelings involved–but his financial status had always been a crucial factor for them….
Without enough money, who would be willing to live hidden away in a foreign country for years?
Who would want to bear the shame of being the other woman and raising an illegitimate child? As much as they liked Matheo, they were realists.
If Matheo couldn’t get any share of the inheritance and ended up with nothing, then what did that mean for the rest of them. Matheo still hadn’t said a word.
His lips were pressed into a tight line; his handsome face was dark and gloomy, like a storm cloud hanging over him. A dull, lifeless gray flickered in the depths of his eyes.
Suddenly-
Matheo clenched his fists; the marriage certificate in his hands began to crumple and twist under the pressure.
Then, like he’d lost control completely, he tore the certificate apart with both hands—ripping it into shreds.
Bits of paper scattered all over the floor; the room fell into utter chaos.
Jean let out a cold snort, her tone mocking, her smile insincere. “Good job tearing it up. It was fake anyway; thanks for destroying the evidence.”
“I should never have given birth to you!” Matheo’s eyes widened in fury. He shot up, fist clenched, and charged at Jean.
Sienna’s eyes flew open; her breathing grew rapid.
In a flash, Carl’s gaze sharpened. He moved with lightning speed, stepping in front of Jean and shielding her completely-
With a single swift motion, he grabbed Matheo’s arm in a firm hold.
His face was cold as ice; his eyes churned with darkness like crashing waves. His grip tightened steadily, fingers digging in until Matheo cried out in pain instinctively, his face turning as pale as paper, even twisting from the agony.
Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the hallway.
Moments later, several uniformed police officers burst into the hospital room.
Their sudden arrival caught everyone off guard.

Chapter 326 Let the Law Deal With Him
Jean, however, simply waved at them with a calm smile. “Officers, I’m the one who called.”
She had reported it when she stopped by the Civil Affairs Department earlier.

With a slight turn of her finger, she pointed toward Matheo, who was still in pain, her voice cold and devoid of emotion. “This man is suspected of attempted murder.”
Then she looked toward her brothers, her tone softening. “You guys must have evidence of Matheo bribing the car crash driver, right? Please hand everything over to the officers.”
Matheo deserved to die:
But he shouldn’t die at the hands of the Ginger family.
Her mother, her brothers–they weren’t saints, but their hands shouldn’t be stained with Matheo’s filth; their lives shouldn’t be tainted because of him.
So, handing Matheo over to the law was the best possible ending.
In a way, his impatience this time–his sloppy, flawed plan–had actually handed them the knife; it had become a blade pointed back at him.
Sienna and the others clearly heard Jean’s thoughts.
This child was always thinking of them, always looking out for them; she had considered everything.
By now, they were no longer surprised by how mature Jean was for her age; instead, their affection and admiration for her only deepened.
Although… she’d said they weren’t exactly good people…
Well, to be fair, she wasn’t wrong.
Easton gave Jean’s shoulder a pat, smiling faintly. “Don’t worry; we’ve got all kinds of evidence. We’ll fully cooperate with the police investigation.”
At that moment, Carl loosened his grip and let Matheo go.
Unexpectedly-
Matheo swallowed hard; like a cornered beast, he suddenly broke free in a final act of desperation. He charged out into the hospital corridor, completely unhinged–even abandoning his lover and his illegitimate daughter!
