Fierce Daddy: His Million-Dollar Sweetheart
Chapter 354: The Truth of the Matter
CHAPTER 354: CHAPTER 354: THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
Kiki is young, yet her actions are already sinister and vicious. What she did to Ivana Monroe makes her unworthy of forgiveness, not to mention her malicious cursing of the two young masters of the Kane family.
President Kane only made The Jennings Group go bankrupt without killing Kiki, which is already quite merciful.
"Do you want to know why? Go home and ask your daughter... Kiki! If she’s willing to tell you the truth, you’ll know the heinous things she’s actually done."
"President Kane’s actions against The Jennings Group were already lenient."
Having said that.
Derrick Stern took Secretary Sullivan’s hand and turned to leave.
Darius Jennings stood in a daze, taking a long time to come to his senses. His eyes flickered with complex emotions, and he wanted to immediately call to ask clearly what Kiki had done.
About half an hour later.
Darius returned to the rented apartment home.
"Lida, you’re back? The soup for dinner is almost ready. You can sit down and rest for a while; dinner will be ready soon," said Mrs. Jennings. She opened the door and saw Mr. Jennings’s face full of fatigue, his eyes slightly red as if he had been crying. Her heart ached, and she pretended to be cheerful as she spoke.
Darius came in without seeing Kiki and suddenly asked, "Where is Kiki? Call her over; I have something to ask her."
Mrs. Jennings could tell Darius was serious, as if something had happened. Her heart felt uneasy, "Kylie is in the kitchen, she’s been helping me. Whatever it is, ask her after dinner; you’ve been busy all day, and you must be hungry."
"I’m not hungry. Call Kiki over; I want to ask her now."
Darius had been holding it in until he got home, but now he couldn’t hold it any longer. He had to get to the bottom of it.
Mrs. Jennings felt a chill in her heart and wanted to persuade Darius. Just then, Kiki came out of the kitchen.
"Dad, you’re back? The soup will be ready soon."
"Kiki, come here; Dad has something to ask you."
"Huh?"
Kiki was a little confused. She came up to Darius and felt the pressure, as Darius’s expression didn’t look good, and Kiki suddenly felt guilty. "Dad, what’s the matter?"
Darius took a deep breath and asked, "I’m asking you, what exactly did you do to offend Leon Keane?"
Kiki panicked, "I... I didn’t... I didn’t offend Brother Leon."
Kiki denied it too quickly, stumbling over her words.
Darius could immediately tell that Kiki was lying, and he said sternly, "I’ll ask you one more time: what exactly did you do to offend Leon Keane? You’d better tell me the truth."
Mrs. Jennings looked at Darius’s accusatory stance and then at Kiki, who seemed very frightened. She hurried to mediate, "Lida, what are you doing? How could Kylie have offended Leon Keane? Don’t blame the child for no reason!"
This family is already struggling enough; what more does Darius want to do?
Darius suddenly roared at Mrs. Jennings, "Get out of my way."
Mrs. Jennings was scared and didn’t dare make a sound. Covering her mouth, she wept quietly.
Kiki was also frightened by Darius’s roar. Her eyes turned red as she said, "Dad, why are you so harsh? You’ve frightened Mommy into tears."
Darius’s sullen face showed no trace of guilt. His eyes were sharp as he stared at Kiki, "I have loved and cherished you all my life, raising you into a real young lady. I thought you would be moved and appreciate how hard it is for me as a father. I believed you’d never deceive me. But now, I realize I was wrong."
Darius’s eyes turned bloodshot. "Kiki, I’m giving you one last chance: what did you do to offend Leon Keane that led him to take such drastic revenge on The Jennings Group? You’d better think carefully before you speak."
Mrs. Jennings stopped crying and looked at Darius in disbelief, her eyes red.
Was it Leon Keane who caused The Jennings Group to collapse?
Mrs. Jennings felt dizzy. Supporting herself against the wall, she looked at Kiki. At this moment, she also wanted to know what Kiki had actually done.
Kiki bit her lip, clenching her fingers tightly. She didn’t want to admit that Leon Keane totally destroyed her father’s painstakingly built company for that bitch Ivana Monroe. She went from being the young lady of The Jennings Group to just another ordinary girl.
Why? She wanted to ask why, too.
Why would Brother Leon do this to her?
The tense string in Kiki’s mind snapped. She cried, shouting at her father, "It’s all because of Ivana Monroe. Brother Leon did it for that bitch. I just wanted to be with the man I love. Is it wrong to like Brother Leon? Why did Ivana Monroe have to appear? How could she so easily take Brother Leon away?"
Darius and Mrs. Jennings were both shocked.
Didn’t Kiki say that the person Leon Keane liked was her? How did it become a woman named "Ivana Monroe"?
They always thought they knew their daughter well, only to find out now that Kiki had changed. She was a stranger to them, full of lies.
Kiki played the role of a pitiful supporting character, making herself appear pitiable and Ivana Monroe so hateful, right in front of Darius and Mrs. Jennings.
Mrs. Jennings listened, hugged Kiki, and cried with her, "Kylie, it’s not your fault. There’s nothing wrong with loving a man; you just loved the wrong person."
Mrs. Jennings comforted Kiki and then cried while telling Darius, "Darius, it’s very clear now: it’s Ivana Monroe who’s despicable, and Leon Keane who’s cruel. Kylie did nothing wrong!"
Darius felt something was off. Based on what he knew about Leon Keane, he wasn’t the type to take such drastic actions against The Jennings Group over a minor issue.
But Kiki was, after all, his daughter. When a father faces a daughter crying her heart out, his natural inclination is to protect her.
And Darius was no different. He ignored his doubts and decided to believe Kiki.
It was at this moment.
The phone suddenly rang.
When Darius picked it up, it was a message from Derrick Stern: "Your daughter Kiki loves lying, so I decided to send you the screenshots and videos of how she attacked Young Madam Kane and the two young masters of the Kane family online."
"Chanting happiness: Ivana Monroe is a vicious woman, and children born of a vicious woman will surely be struck dead by a car someday."
The phrase "chanting happiness" appeared repeatedly in the videos and screenshots.
When Darius saw the words "chanting," his vision went black. He would never forget there was a hacker named "Overlord Chant" who hacked into all the computers of The Jennings Group, causing its stock to plummet and leading to The Jennings Group’s collapse shortly after.
"Chanting happiness" was Kiki, then "Overlord Chant" was Leon Keane.
Darius felt a pang in his chest, almost spitting out blood from anger. Not only that, but there were also messages Kiki sent to internet trolls, instructing them to post an unspeakable video of Ivana Monroe, aiming to completely ruin her reputation.
Darius’s fingers trembled uncontrollably as he struggled to believe this was something his obedient daughter had done.
