Reborn and Revenge

Chapter 42 For One's own Good

If Daisy married a man like Jason, her and her mother’s status would be higher.

After more than twenty years of marriage with Frank, she was nothing more than superficial good.

To the outside world, she was Mrs. Duncan, but in Duncan family, even if Isabelle was dead, she had

been suppressing her. She had not been taken as the eldest sister-in-law or daughter-in-law. Behind

the scene, her sisters-in-law never took her seriously, waiting for an opportunity to squeeze her out,

always looking forward seeing she made a food of herself.

She had expected Leo to make her proud.

And now, she found she had Daisy!

She was in good mood!

It was Clayton’s seventieth birthday, so it was more ceremonious.

Not only the Duncan Villa had action, those branches of Duncan family, relatives and the business

circle of M City were all waiting for such an important day.

The Duncan Villa got busy half a month ahead.

The public relations department of Duncan Group, according to Alexia's instructions, got into the

Duncan Villa and worked together with the housekeepers to get the party ready.

Every night, Angel stayed with Alexia, heard the reports of subordinates and did the deployment of

each work.

No one cared about Angel going out early and coming home late. No one asked what Angel did every

day.

No one knew Angel was at work. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

In the eyes of the Duncan family, she was still the same fool she was years ago.

She was simply taken under the wing of Alexia.

This birthday banquet, for everyone, was a rare performance opportunity. And they had their own

goals.

So, everyone in the Duncan family was very busy.

And they paid no attention to nothing but the party.

Only two days was from the birthday. The most important person in the Duncan family - Kyle - had not

come back.

That made some people nervous.

Maisy muttered to Frank, "Didn't Kyle tell you when he would be back? Outwardly, he's a Duncan, but

internally, he's your son after all. These years, he's never been with us on the birthday celebrations.

With all families there, it did not matter. But there will be many outsiders, he should respect you.”

Frank frowned and said nothing.

Maisy looked at him, not going to let go.

Frank said, "I heard from Taylor that he promised father he would come back. The exact time hasn't

been decided yet. He will do what he promises."

Maisy was discontent, so he did not know about it.

"Well, what shall we do then? We have to stay together, don't we? Otherwise, it will be embarrassing."

Only when Kyle stood in their ranks could she and Leo and Daisy’s position be recognized.

These years, Maisy was very persistent to this matter.

Isabelle agreed her to marry into the family. She did not care about her title, as long as the Duncan

family admitted her two children.

But she did not expect that since they moved into the family, Isabelle moved away from the house and

did not see anyone of the family till she was dead.

Then the relationship between the Duncan family and the Marsh family fell to the freezing point, and

the loss of the Duncan family was difficult to estimate.

From that year on, Frank was never promoted at the family.

They became chief culprit, the death of Isabelle became their sin, making them be looked down upon.

She hated that woman.

She wished to set off firecrackers to celebrate her death.

But even if she died, her son continued to oppress her.

Every year on Clayton's birthday, he took his sister and never knelt down with them.

And then he was alone, and he never let his sister come back.

He never thought of them as a family.

He never acknowledged her as a stepmother.

Perhaps no one cared about this matter. After all, twenty years had passed. She was Mrs. Duncan both

externally and internally.

But it was her worry.

Frank frowned. "Oh, come on, why are you so stupid for such a small thing? The host is arranged by

Alexia. You will not be embarrassed, after all it is such a big scene."

Frank did not ask his son's itinerary. Since Isabelle's death, no, since Maisy and her children were

exposed, for more than twenty years, the number of their talking was countable.

Maisy secretly gnashed teeth, but she was helpless.

She could not understand why Frank was so afraid of his own son!

It was reasonable he was afraid of Clayton because he was his father, but he was afraid of his own

son! She had never seen a father as cowardly as he was, but he gave Leo beating and scolding.

Daisy burst in and shouted, "Mom, lend me your diamond necklace, I don't match any of mine!"

Maisy took a look at Frank and swallowed the words she was to say. Then she helped Daisy find

jewelry.

"Dad, I have a fancy on a bracelet, can you buy it to me?" Daisy saw Frank and acted in coquetry.

Frank was happy to be interrupted, so he said, "Go ahead and get my secretary to sign the bill."

"Thank you, Dad!" she said, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “I love you, Dad!"

A smile appeared on Frank's face.

The birthday party was held in the evening.

The Duncan Villa was decorated with lights.

The road to The Duncan Villa was carried out traffic control by the traffic police, because too many cars

headed to the Duncan Villa. The police had been informed to strengthening police force in Dongcheng

District.

District, after all, was the most important area tonight.

To put it in a bad way, if a bomb was placed in the Duncan Villa, the economy of M City would be

paralyzed tomorrow, and even to the whole country and even overseas, it would bring shock.

Therefore, the Duncan family had reported to the government department in advance.

The garden inside the villa was the main venue of the banquet, which was decorated magnificently,

highlighting the noble identity of the host family.

Clayton, accompanied by his two brothers, sat chatting in a pavilion in the middle of the garden.

The weather was beautiful and the weather was fine, which was pleasant.

Dressed in a white Tang suit today, Clayton was hale and hearty with a big smile.

His four sons sat with him too.

"Why hasn't Kyle come by this time?" Dougie asked, peering into the face of Clayton.

Clayton did not show any displeasure at the news. He glanced at his watch and said nothing.

Dougie then looked at him housekeeper Taylor behind him.

Taylor showed a slight smile, "These days Mr. Kyle was dealing with a very important merger and

acquisition. He said that no matter how late it was he would come back and asked Mr. Clayton to rest

assured."

Hector said, "Kyle is filial. With Kyle, our family is blessed."

Clayton loved to hear that.

The three brothers were infighting for half a lifetime, now these years, the situation was stable on the

whole. Kyle contributed to that a lot. No one in the Duncan family was able to compete with Kyle. It was

the pride of Clayton, and even if he died now, he did not have to worry about who would led the family.

However even if Kyle was capable, he could not be controlled, which was also his worry.

Dougie asked along the topic, "Where did Kyle take this time? He's been laying siege to cities all these

years, and he's made our family do well abroad."

Clayton said with a smile, "Kyle said, he will establish our family’s empire in J Country, where all people

will surrender to us. When the acquisition is done, we will be solid in J Country. In that way, if all our

domestic industries were over, it doesn't matter, because our energy in J Country now is three times as

much at home."

Clayton and Dougie could not help but open mouth but could not say a word.

Hector changed the subject. "I saw Angel on my way in. She looked just like her mother. I'm sure

there's no better girl than her in this town. Brother. I'm sure there'll be a lot of people coming up to you

soon to ask you about Angel."

Dougie smiled. To him, granddaughter was used for marriage. Angel was beautiful but simple, no one

would dislike her, on the contrary, she might be more attractive.

Suddenly he had a thought.

When he looked up at Clayton, he found that his brother's face was grave.

"It's up to none of us to decide what to do with Angel," said Clayton slowly. "We need to have advice

from Kyle. You know how he feels about his sister. He is out there trying to keep the Duncan family on

fire. We can't have a fire in the family."

He gave Frank a faint glance. "Angel is a good girl, and her mother has left her such a large dowry. If it

becomes known to others, it will make people keep an eye on it. If we are not cautions, we will not only

harm her, but also will get the family into trouble.

He had made it clear that if Angel was not married, it will be good to the family. Once she married, no

matter who she married to, the Duncan family would have to worry about it. Therefore, no one could

control Angel's marriage. As a Duncan, it was best to hope that Angel would not get married.

Of course, if the stakes were high enough to call for a marriage, then Angel would be the best choice.

In this case, Kyle had the final say. This was Clayton’s endorsement to Angel.

After all, Maisy was her stepmother, and the relationship between them was not good. Not only they,

but Frank, the father, paid no attention to the two siblings.

It was not impossible that if they had thought of Angel's marriage, they would marry her off at random.

Dougie and Hector glanced at Frank and said, "Of course, how could Angel easily get married?"

Edward turned to ask Frank in a whisper, "Brother, do you know the merger case of Kyle?"

"We are only in charge of domestic affairs," he deadpanned.

So he didn't know about it.

Edward pressed his lips and thought Frank was cowardly as a father.

Clayton's eyes turned to Frank. "You should deal with the thing related to Leo."

"Yes, Dad," Frank said.

There was a slight noise outside the pavilion as crowds of guests poured in.

Frank got up and said, "Dad, we are going out to welcome the guests."

They were his children, but he found that in fact, he was just a decoration.

It was not his turn to take care of Kyle.

What happened to Angel was Kyle’s decision, and it was none of his business.

There was even no room for him to take care of things related to Leo.

He couldn't sit down any longer. He might as well go out to meet the guests.

Over the years, he had used to such a situation.

Since he was helpless, he did not intend to be hard on himself.

The only thing Frank did actively in his life was probably to be with Maisy, but which made his life more

passive.

He didn't want to think about it anymore.
