Chapter 124~ Family drama
"Nonsense!" Charles yelled, his breathing becoming heavy. "Miles, if you won't control your wife, I will. How dare she do this on your son's wedding day?"
Miles glanced at Celeste and frowned. He got up, about to approach her when Jason reached the stage.
He grabbed the microphone from Celeste and said, "Good evening, everyone. I didn't mean to disrupt the wedding of the lovely couple... I'm actually a secret son of Miles and Celeste Kingsley and I'm back to live with my family." "Celeste... what's going on? How is he my son?" Miles asked, his eyes wide in shock.
Celeste glanced at Miles and explained, "I actually gave birth to twins. However, due to the situation back then... your father didn't want me and your children couldn't open up to me, I feared for my son's life. I didn't want to get caught up in a succession struggle, so I took him abroad and that's where he grew up. I'm sorry I lied... but I didn't want you to feel like he was there to steal Ryan's position."
Ryan scoffed from where he sat in his seat before chuckling.
Lora glanced at him worriedly. She too was shocked to find out who Jason really was. Why did he disappear and only appear on their wedding day? Was it to cause confusion?
"Are you ok, love?" Lora asked Ryan.
"I don't know what to think... the man I hated and thought of as my rival is actually my half-brother? What kind of joke is this?" Ryan said, shaking his head.
Meanwhile, Charles got to his feet and pointed a finger at Celeste and Jason. He exclaimed, "Are you normal? Why would we hate a child because of a position?" Charles yelled. "This is ridiculous!"
"Father, you know how you've been towards Isabella and me... we've never really been welcomed. I had no choice but to hide the fact that I had a son otherwise, you would think he threatened Ryan's position," Celeste remarked.
The guests whispered to themselves, shocked to hear of the family drama. It seemed the Kingsley family wasn't as perfect as they all thought it was.
Jason smiled and looked at Lora before saying, "Congratulations on your marriage, Lora. Although, I don't know if I can wish you happiness."
Whispers echoed around the hall and Ryan glared at the stage. He was about to get up when Jason chuckled and said, "It seems my presence has changed the mood of this joyous occasion. Please do carry on, don't mind me." He took his mother's hand and went to sit at Celeste's table.
Ryan and Lora shared a look. Lora grabbed his hand and said, "Hey... let's not let anyone destroy our day."
"You're right," Ryan remarked before holding the back of Lora's head and kissing her hard.
The MC came to rectify the situation before calling over a famous artist to perform. Once the artist began to perform, the hall was filled with celebration, but deep down, everyone knew a storm was brewing in the Kingsley family. When the event indeed, the family gathered to discuss the matter at hand.
"Celeste, are you sure this is my son?" Miles asked.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Celeste produced a DNA report and handed it over to Miles whose eyes lit up when he saw the result. He exclaimed, "I have another son. Haha! I have two sons. Come here boy, let your old man take a look at you."
Jason moved closer to Miles and the latter hugged him. "Welcome home, son. I'm sorry, you had to endure hardships out there when you could have been living in luxury with us."
"It's ok... I grew up well," Jason remarked.
Miles nodded, smiling proudly thinking this new son of his was humble and obedient. He glanced at Isabella and said, "You have a twin! That's wonderful!"
Meanwhile, Diane shared a look with Ryan helplessly, watching the new family of four reunite with each other.
Charles looked at his family and
sighed. He had a feeling that Celeste
did this on purpose and
told him the appearance of Jason spelled trouble for Ryan.
Even though Jason was his grandson, he couldn't help but be wary of him. Anyone close to Celeste couldn't be trusted.
When Jason approached him and said, "Grandpa, I'm now home."
Charles nodded and said flatly, "That's good... I hope you get along with all your siblings."
Getting to his feet, Charles remarked, "It's been a long day. I'll head back first."
There was an air of awkwardness when Charles Kingsley left. Miles cleared his throat and said to Diane and Ryan, I hope you will be nice fo your brother. Ryan, organise for Jason to be the Vice CEO of the
Jasony. I'm counting on you to
help him gain a strong footing in the company."
When Celeste heard this, she raised her chin proudly. Finally, it was now her turn to shine. She would make sure her son got everything that once belonged to Ryan. When Miles and the other three left, Ethan glanced at Ryan and asked, "Daddy, is Uncle Jason our real uncle now?"
Ryan clenched his hands into fists,
anger flaring into him. So this was Jason's plan all along. Did he know who Lora was in the beginning and then approached her to provoke him?

He glanced at his son and smiled, saying, "Yes, he is."

"I didn't expect Jason to have such a huge secret," Lora remarked, feeling disappointed.
It was like he wanted to mess up her big day... however, she wasn't going to let anyone or anything get in her way of happiness.
Looking at Ryan, she said, "Let's forget about what happened today and go on our honeymoon, We can deal with Jason when we return."
Diane glanced at the couple and said, "Yes, off you go you too... I'll take care of the twins. Don't worry and make more babies."
"Daddy, are you and Mommy going to make us a baby brother and sister?" Ella asked and the adults laughed.
"Diane, watch what you say in front of the kids," Ryan scolded.
Putting the family drama aside for now, Lora and Ryan got on a private jet to go on their honeymoon.
When they arrived at their destination, Ryan suddenly took out a file and said, "I was going to present this to you during the reception but Jason ruined it."
Lora glanced at the file and her breath caught in her throat as she asked, "Why is LAN's luxurious Jewelry in my name?"
"Because it's yours," Ryan replied, smirking. "I opened it in remembrance of you but since you're alive, you can run it from now on."
Lora jumped on Ryan and wrapped her arms around his neck, saying, "God, I love you, Mr Kingsley."
