"Little Anthony, Auntie got you!"

Aunt Marilyn picked up Anthony, the little boy hugged Aunt Marilyn's neck and giggled, and Marilyn looked at Anthony lovingly...... The gods are above, and those who don't know the truth will definitely think that Marilyn loves her nephew very much, but in fact the two are not related by blood at all.

"Look, how much Marilyn loves Anthony, don't be careful. The young lady of the Wren family does not live in the Wren family's manor, and if you let her move to another place, what will the nobles in the city think of me? ”

The beautiful Rennes Manor is adorned with small stone columns carved with delicate patterns, and on the second floor there is a small terrace where the maids set up delicate tea sets and delicious desserts every afternoon, and the new hostess of the manor likes to enjoy her afternoon tea on the small terrace.

At this moment, the new hostess in the lace nightgown was being comforted by the man in his arms, although she was the same age as the man and the mother of a five-year-old boy, at this time there was a hint of girlish charm in her eyes, and her mature and beautiful appearance matched with her fatal attraction.

"I don't care what your intentions are for Marilyn, but when will Anthony change his surname? He's my son, he's your son, his mother isn't Amanda Wren, that woman is dead, but still affects us......"

The hostess's voice gradually rose up, and the man quickly covered his red lips that were speechless because of his emotions.

"You're crazy, don't mention her, this is still Rennes Manor! Anthony doesn't have the surname Wren, so follow my surname or follow your surname? The wealth of the Wren family will never belong to a person with a foreign surname, do you want to see ten years later, when Edward is an adult, Anthony is kicked out of Wren Manor with nothing, don't be stupid, you have waited so long, I have endured Amanda that woman for so many years, in order to enjoy the final victory and glory, can't you wait a little longer? ”

The man's words were like a spell with magical powers, which gradually calmed down the emotional hostess.

She was crooked in the arms of the handsome man, her beautiful red lips were slightly open, like a beautiful snake swallowing the core, giving a vicious suggestion: "As soon as I think of dividing the property of the Wren family to Edward or even Marilyn, I ...... You see, I'm not greedy, it's all for our Anthony, he's so cute, shouldn't he enjoy the best of the world? ”

The man gently stroked the woman's smooth long hair with his hand, smelling the fragrance of her hair, his mind was a little confused, and he subconsciously responded to the woman: "Marilyn, you don't have to worry, eighty percent of the property of the Rennes family belongs to her sister, and she doesn't know how to operate, and in recent years, twenty percent of the property in Marilyn's name has almost become an empty shell, even if she leaves Rennes Manor at this time, there is no way to take away much property." Edward...... He was always my son, and as long as we didn't let him learn martial arts, let him learn to draw if he liked to. A painter who does not pose much of a threat when he becomes an adult will not affect Anthony's inheritance of the Manor de Rennes. ”

It is also very difficult and necessary to plan carefully if the male owner's promise is to give up raising a son born to his former wife and let the younger son, who is not related to the Wren family, inherit the family business. But such a guarantee still cannot be exchanged for the satisfaction of the hostess.

She muttered red lips and whispered, "He'd better be obedient and don't grab anything from my Anthony, otherwise, he will have to ...... with his mother."

"Shhhhh The woman embraced him by the neck and wrapped it around the man like a snake. Within a few moments, the small terrace was filled with an imaginative gasp.

The maids of the manor were far away from the small terrace, completely different from the modesty of the previous hostess Amanda Wren, and the new hostess behaved frivolously, and they had to witness some "intense" scenes from time to time as maids that made people blush. But the time of this manor, which belonged to "Amanda", has passed, and they have to accept the reality and work under this stingy and mean woman.

Even Lady Amanda's sister Marilyn is now going to please the new mistress, and she can accept it as a noble lady, what can she not bear to be a maid.

Several maids met their eyes and made a silent exchange.

The most pitiful is Young Master Edward. Lady Amanda regarded him as a treasure in her heart, and his birth gave hope to the withered Wren family, and Lady Amanda wept with joy, and even paid all the servants of the manor three times the salary that month. However, the good times did not last long, Mrs. Amanda fell into an incurable disease during childbirth, her body was full of weakness, and the priest hired by the man could not save her life, and on a thunderstorm night three years ago, she left behind her beloved son, husband, sister, and the entire Wren family, and closed her eyes forever.

A month after Mrs. Amanda's death, the man brought back his current wife and their common son, Anthony.

Anthony was not named Wren at first, and although he was extremely cute, even the maids looked at him with mixed contempt and pity: his age showed that it was the product of the male host's extramarital affair, and that he was only an illegitimate child.

In front of the elders of the side branch who came to the Wren family to hold him accountable, the male owner took out Mrs. Amanda's "letter of understanding" for him to have an illegitimate child, and after several twists and turns, a year-long repeated trouble, until Mrs. Amanda's sister Marilyn stood up, the matter was decided - the male host's illegitimate son Anthony, who henceforth belonged neither to him nor to his old lover New Lady, but became Marilyn's adopted son and took the surname "Wren".

Anthony Wren, the third in line of line to the line of the Wren family after Edward and Marilyn.

He was so likable that his father loved him so much that even Aunt Marilyn, who was supposed to be on his side, liked him and did not hesitate to help him win the Wren family name. And what about yourself? Does Edward Wren really want to become a paintbrush-wielding and intimidating painter in the future, as his father wishes, to make way for his half-brother to inherit the Wren family?

Ten years old Edward curled up in a corner not far from the small terrace on the second floor.

The curtain on the ground covered him tightly, and of course the man and woman who fell into lust would not notice the thin figure behind the curtain, but he could hear the conversation between the two clearly. As the maids said, his birth was seen as the hope of the withering Wren family, and his mother wept with joy.

The woman, who had always been sick since she gave birth to him, and who couldn't even take care of her husband, once held his sick body and walked through every corner of the manor. There are secrets that will always belong only to the true heirs of the Wren family. In his mother's generation, Amanda Wren knew things, Marilyn Wren would not allow to know, and in his generation, there are some things, of course, only "Edward Wren" is qualified to know.

In two years, he will be twelve years old, how can he become strong under the nose of his stepmother, who is ready to kill him, and his father, who turns a blind eye to him and secretly guards him?

Ten years old Edward looked at Anthony and Aunt Marilyn laughing in the garden, his eyes gloomy.

……

Although he had a mind far smarter than his peers, Edward had to admit that he was often clever when he was ten years old.

At that time, he knew how to pull down the subordinates to curry favor with the maids, so that they cared more about him, often brought him news outside the manor, and also ensured that the outside public opinion did not forget that the Wren family also had a young son who had lost his mother. He also knows how to pretend to be innocent in front of his father, play a good son who is ignorant of the world and has no threat, and even becomes a child who loves his younger brother and behaves clumsy in front of his stepmother.

But he hated Aunt Marilyn and did not consider in the slightest whether Aunt Marilyn's compromise would be bitter.

This hatred later led directly to the death of Aunt Marilyn.

- So, the road of judgment is judging my stupidity?

The hallucinatory flashback in front of Edward made him sober for a moment, and he couldn't help frowning in annoyance at the thought of his former stupidity.
