Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 313

Daniel drove Mrs. Chambers back to the family estate.

Mr. Hogan Chambers was waiting, looking more displeased than ever.

He gripped his cane tightly, raising it as if to strike, but when his eyes fell on Nora, he lowered it with a grunt.

“Come in. All of you.”

He led the way into the living room.

The atmosphere was thick with tension.

Mr. Hogan Chambers ran his thumb over the dragon head carved into his cane, his gaze locked on his favorite grandson. “So, the reason you asked Eleanor to be my granddaughter is because she’s your father’s illegitimate child?”

Daniel nodded. “Yes.”

He just wanted to give her a legitimate place in the family.

Mr. Hogan Chambers had his share of mistresses and children in his youth, but after losing two sons in a bitter inheritance fight, he’d finally realized just how much trouble his past had caused.

So, with ruthless efficiency, he’d dealt with those illegitimate sons and daughters, making sure they never threatened the family again.

Now, all that remained at his side were Brian and Donna, his only legitimate son and daughter.

He’d kept them on a tight leash, determined never to repeat old mistakes—yet here was another bastard child, surfacing out of nowhere.

Mr. Hogan Chambers felt a throb of pain in his jaw.

“Brian’s on his way back. We’ll get the truth out in the open.”

Mrs. Chambers sat stiff and cold on the edge of the sofa, her entire body radiating resentment.

Mr. Hogan Chambers glanced at Nora again, then called to the kitchen for dinner to be prepared.

Nora had no appetite. She felt nothing for the Chambers family—certainly not affection.

“I’ll head back to my room. You have things to settle.”

Daniel’s voice softened. “Why don’t you go get some rest?”

Nora pressed her lips together, clearly reluctant.

Mrs. Chambers let out a bitter, mocking laugh. “Since she’s your wife, let her stay. Let her see just how rotten this family really is.”

Mr. Hogan Chambers’ face darkened, but he relented. “Aurora is family. She stays.”

Nora forced a smile. She had no interest in being considered “family,” but if they didn’t care, she’d stay and watch the show.
