Chapter 758 - 752: Clearing the Fog (Part 3)
He truly loved his sister, Pearl Jarvis.
Moreover, that kind of love wasn’t something anyone else could interfere with, so she never imagined he would have an illegitimate daughter.
The Jarvis family in Banyria was one of the top families.
She and Pearl, in their youth, were so carefree and glorious, both were their father’s cherished jewels.
After the family’s steward, Glenn Jarvis, passed away, he left behind a helpless son, Jonas Jarvis.
In consideration of Glenn’s service, the father took Jonas in.
So, she and Jonas could be considered childhood sweethearts; as children, their relationship was always good until Pearl went to college and developed feelings for Jonas.
Worried about the father’s disapproval, they secretly got together.
At that time, when she learned of this, ready to inform their father, Pearl knelt before her, crying desperately, begging her not to say anything.
Jonas was just a junior college student with unformed wings; if their father knew about this, he would surely expel him from the Jarvis family.
Her sister was a love-obsessed person who couldn’t live without Jonas.
She couldn’t bear to see her sister depressed and unhappy, so she agreed to her request and demanded Jonas get a part-time job and strive for a position at Banyrian Holdings before graduation.
At that time, Banyrian Holdings was the largest company in Banyria, and its president was a friend of their father.
Only if he proved his capability, their father might consider letting her sister marry him.
Jonas vowed he would achieve it.
As she wished, he indeed achieved it.
Yet, nobody expected that their father, who always cherished talent, would react so severely, thinking everything was going smoothly and he would approve of Pearl being with Jonas; hence they announced their relationship.
Unexpectedly, the father flew into a rage and resolutely opposed it.
Pearl fell into the abyss of love, unwilling to end her childhood sweetheart romance just like that; they appeared to separate but continued seeing each other secretly. Later, Pearl made a decision that changed her life.
She took the plunge, and she and Jonas crossed the line, resulting in a child.
Thinking, their father would not let his daughter become the laughingstock of the upper-class society with an out-of-wedlock birth.
But the developments were increasingly unexpected, severing her ties with her father.
The father, learning of this, forced Pearl Jarvis to terminate the pregnancy, preferring she lose the beloved child rather than be with Jonas.
The child was gone, leaving Pearl Jarvis heartbroken.
At the same time, the father expelled Jonas from the Jarvis family.
Pearl’s respect and love for her father gradually turned to hate. Ultimately, she wrote a letter severing their relationship, pressed her fingerprint on it, and broke off her ties with the Jarvis family.
The father fell ill once in anger, bedridden for half a year.
Pearl became an ordinary person with nothing, Jonas remained by her side, and they married quietly without even holding a ceremony; that same year, they welcomed Joshua Jarvis.
Such deep-seated love, sacrificing even family for eternal companionship, how could Jonas betray that?
She closed her eyes, and her mind was filled with the image of Jonas, distraught after Pearl lost the child, beseeching and desperate to see Pearl just once.
She was certain that Pearl and Jonas truly loved each other.
Therefore, she couldn’t accept this conjecture at all for the time being.
If Meredith Ford was indeed Jonas’s illegitimate daughter, then what did that unforgettable love they had gone through mean?
Now that Jonas was successful in his career, though not as prominent as the Ford family, in Banyria no one dared to mess with him, was he really a scoundrel who couldn’t stand a faithful wife?
"Mom."
In her ear, Tiana Thorne’s voice came.
