Jenny said, "Don't you guys want to see your own granddaughter? Are you really telling me you don't want to lay eyes on her?"
Her words dropped like a bombshell, silencing the entire room.
Elton's gaze snapped to her, sharp and dangerous like a panther ready to pounce, yet his expression remained unchanged. Deep down, he had anticipated Jenny's move. By revealing herself, she clearly wasn't going to back down easily. But her constant talk of children? That was almost laughable. Did she truly care about the child, or was the child merely a pawn in her grand scheme? From the moment of birth, their child was nothing but a part of her meticulously planned plot. Now, it seemed, she was ready to spring her trap.
Hancock Taylor and Riley were completely taken aback, struggling to process the bombshell. After a moment, Riley managed, "What did you say? Your own granddaughter?"
It was as if Jenny had been waiting for just this question.
A sly smile played on her lips. "I had a daughter with Elton. She's been living with him, and she's four years old now. Elton didn't tell you, did he?"
Riley was in disbelief, taking a moment before turning to Elton, "Is this true, Elton? Do you two have a daughter?"
