A strange young woman's voice came through immediately: "Ethan, why did you come back? Weren't we doing just fine in the county? Have you been blinded by the riches of the Yin Family, forgetting your roots?"
"No!" Ethan Yin's voice suddenly turned rough: "Angela, I've never forgotten my goal! That's exactly why I have to stay in the Yin Family! Otherwise, all my years of preparation would be for nothing!"
The girl called Angela instantly began to cry softly: "Ethan, we don't need all that wealth. Can we just go back and live our own lives?"
There was silence in the headphones.
After a long time, Ethan Yin's voice finally sounded, slow and heavy: "My big brother always has people watching me. I don't know where they are, but I know they're out there. I just bought this car yesterday; the others are probably all bugged. Don't come looking for me anymore—it's too dangerous! If anyone finds out you're my sister, you'll be in danger too."
Everyone present was stunned by this conversation!
Ethan Yin had been pretending to be crazy and foolish all along!
And this girl named Angela was actually his sister!
Wait a minute, she's Ethan Yin's sister—does that mean she has any connection to the Yin Family?
Cecilia Gu exchanged a glance with Rona Muir. Who would've thought that a little curiosity would lead them to overhear such a shocking secret!
Cecilia Gu immediately told her assistant Wendy, "Let them know over there—keep an eye on Ethan Yin. Something's up."
Although Wendy hadn't heard the conversation in Ethan Yin's car, she could tell from Cecilia Gu's expression that something was wrong.
Without any hesitation, Wendy immediately notified the others.
Now, Ethan Yin's conversation with Angela was being overheard by everyone monitoring them.
Angela's voice came through in broken sobs: "Ethan, does Mom think so too? Is the Yin Family's wealth more important than our family being together?"
Ethan Yin spoke solemnly: "Angela, you have to understand—for your safety, you were sent to Uncle's house the moment you were born. The whole point was to protect you from harm. Maybe Mom couldn't afford to raise you then, but later, when people came to our house with gifts and money, saying I was the Yin Family's young master, I knew they had ulterior motives!"
Angela immediately began to cry, heartbroken: "Ethan, do you really not want me anymore?"
Ethan Yin replied irritably, "Enough! Didn't I say already? I came to the Yin Family to take back what's mine! My last name is Yin, so I'm an heir! Why should everything belong to my big brother? Even if I'm just a concubine's son, I'm still a Yin! Angela, once I get what I want, no one will bully you again! Got it? Those jerks who keep targeting you—they won't dare touch you anymore!"
Angela covered her mouth, trying not to cry, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hold back: "Ethan, I can't go back..."
Suddenly, the sound of screeching brakes came through the headphones.
After a moment, Ethan Yin's voice came again: "What do you mean, you can't go back?"
Angela answered, aggrieved: "My cousin's friends... they're all shady people, they... they..."
"What did they do to you?" Ethan Yin asked impatiently.
"They said if I didn't become his girlfriend, they'd make sure I couldn't stay in the county! They took advantage of me when they were drunk, and in anger, I grabbed a bottle and hit one of them on the head—there was so much blood. My cousin said the guy I hit is the son of the county's finance bureau chief. Sienna, I can't go back." Angela explained through tears.
A long silence followed.
There was silence on the monitoring side as well.
Cecilia Gu felt a bit stunned.
What was happening now was completely unexpected.
Rona Muir immediately said, "I just remembered, I have an appointment to look at cars at the dealership today. Cici, I can't keep shopping with you today."
Cecilia Gu nodded quietly. She knew Rona Muir was just trying to avoid suspicion.
Because what happened today already involves the Yin Family's deepest secrets.
Cecilia Gu didn't try to stop Rona Muir and simply directed the driver to take her home.
When Cecilia Gu got home, she found that Charles Yin was already back.
Before Cecilia Gu could say anything, Charles Yin spoke up: "I know everything. Looks like we both underestimated Ethan Yin. If you hadn't happened to see it today, I might've been fooled for a while longer. Not bad—I thought he was just a playboy, but it turns out he might be worth something after all."
A bloodthirsty gleam flashed in Charles Yin's eyes.
It had been a long time since he'd had such an interesting toy to play with.
Cecilia Gu couldn't help but say, "That girl..."
Charles Yin reached out and gently took Cecilia Gu's fingers. "Come with me to the study," he said softly.
Cecilia Gu followed Charles Yin and slowly walked into the study.
As soon as they entered, they closed the door behind them.
Charles Yin settled Cecilia Gu in and said, "Now I'm really curious to see how Ethan Yin plans to take the inheritance from me. This is going to be an interesting game, isn't it?"
Cecilia Gu opened her mouth, not sure what to say.
"When the scandal broke out back then, we were all adults. That girl is eighteen now, so she must've been sent away early on. The people gathering intelligence missed her completely. Plus, my mother is proud and quick-tempered—when she discovered May Yan and Ethan Yin, she was furious and didn't have anyone investigate further." Charles Yin continued, "This is the complete file Alex just delivered. You'll find a lot more interesting information inside."
Cecilia Gu was surprised by how fast Alex worked and reached out to open the file folder.
This chapter isn't finished yet~.~ Please click next page to keep reading the exciting story!
Cecilia Gu looked through the documents page by page, and when she finished, she was left speechless.
She really didn't know how to describe May Yan anymore.
Angela is indeed May Yan's daughter, and Sienna Yin's sister—but she's not Charles Yin's sister.
In other words, Angela has no blood relation to the Yin Family.
To put it another way, Angela is the daughter of May Yan and another man.
No wonder the daughter was sent to be raised by someone else as soon as she was born.
All these years, May Yan hardly paid any attention to her daughter.
When May Yan was secretly involved with Charles Yin's father, she wasn't exactly well-behaved.
Whenever Mr. Yin was away, May Yan quickly got together with another man and ended up having Angela.
May Yan knew that if Mr. Yin ever found out about Angela, she'd never have a chance to enter the Yin Family.
So the moment Angela was born, she was sent to her uncle's house to be raised.
After two years, May Yan couldn't hold back anymore and told Mrs. Yin, Jiang Xue, about their relationship. That set off a whole series of events.
Alex's intelligence-gathering skills are incredible—not only did he dig up old grudges and a complicated relationship chart, he also included Angela's entire life story.
Angela Ma, eighteen years old, high school education.
She's pure and pretty, one of the most beautiful girls in the county.
Angela Ma's cousin, the son of Ethan Yin's uncle, has been tagging along with Ethan for years, befriending some of the local elites.
One day, the finance bureau chief's son took a liking to Angela Ma and insisted she become his girlfriend.
The rest of the information matched Angela Ma's story—she really did grab a bottle and smash it over the guy's head.
Cecilia Gu never expected such a quiet girl to do something like that.
It seems human potential really is limitless.
After reading everything, Cecilia Gu sighed for a long time before finally saying, "How could things turn out so unexpectedly?"
Charles Yin smiled, his narrow eyes glinting with a mocking coldness: "I guess this is what they call 'what goes around comes around.'"
Before my mother left for South America, she started setting things up to steer Ethan Yin off course. Turns out, Ethan really is clever—he played the part of a useless playboy so convincingly that even I was almost fooled." Charles Yin laughed softly. "He really does have Yin blood in his veins. In that sense, he hasn't disgraced the family name."
"It's just too bad he's fighting alone. May Yan only cares about pleasure, not her son's growth. So Ethan Yin managed to fool even her. On the surface, he's a playboy, but secretly he's been waiting for a chance to return to the Yin Family. He thought he fooled everyone, but I bet Grandma Yin saw through him. To me, Ethan isn't even qualified to go up against me, so I never had anyone dig deep into his background—which is why we missed all this."
"If I'm not mistaken, Grandma Yin probably knows about Angela Ma. May Yan had Angela with another man while she was restless. She didn't dare claim her, so she left her with her brother's family. But her brother wasn't a good person either—his son followed Ethan Yin around, acting tough, and in the end, even harmed May Yan's own daughter."
"Now I'm really curious how Ethan Yin plans to win the Yin Family inheritance with nothing. Compared to Sylvia Ran, I'm much more interested in Ethan Yin's next move." Charles Yin finally smiled with genuine anticipation.
