Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Press the Philtrum! She’ll Wake Up Soon
This layer of secrecy was something Leon Keane really didn’t want to break in front of his mother. As long as she didn’t oppose his marriage to Ivana Monroe, and she could love Timmy the same way she doted on Ian.
He could endure the pain and pretend he knew nothing.
Auntie Chamberlain was shocked after hearing this, even feeling a bit of regret and fear. If what Leon said was true, what his mother did was truly ruthless.
Timmy was a legitimate grandson too! How could she be so cruel to Timmy?
Auntie Chamberlain always thought Leon’s mother had no limits when it came to spoiling her grandkids. She even feared that if Timmy Monroe appeared before her, she would develop a grandmotherly affection for him.
For someone like Auntie Chamberlain, an outsider, it was hard to accept that Leon’s mother was such a cold and ruthless person.
Auntie Chamberlain didn’t understand, but why did Leon’s mother do this?
Leon’s mother saw the pain and disappointment in his eyes, and shook her head fearfully, "I didn’t... That vixen’s child is not my grandson... Leon, you must be mistaken... Mom..."
Suddenly, Leon’s mother’s vision went dark, and she fainted.
Auntie Chamberlain was startled and said in a panic, "Ma’am has fainted, President Kane, quickly take her to the hospital."
Leon Keane’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Just press her philtrum, she’ll wake up soon enough."
Saying that, Leon turned and left with big strides.
Once outside, a mocking smile flashed in his dark eyes, Leon’s mother fainting was so unconvincing, her lashes were still trembling.
Auntie Chamberlain, in a disarray, unconsciously followed Leon’s instructions and firmly pressed on his mother’s philtrum.
Wincing in pain, Leon’s mother let out an "Ah~" and opened her eyes, old tears formed from the pain as she angrily chided Auntie Chamberlain, "Are you trying to kill me? So rough?"
Auntie Chamberlain was stunned; wasn’t Leon’s mother unconscious? So she was pretending all along?
Leon’s mother sat on the sofa, her face full of worry and burdened with thoughts.
Auntie Chamberlain made her a cup of imported rose honey tea, watched as she took a sip and put the honey water on the glass coffee table. Auntie couldn’t hold back.
She asked, "Ma’am, is Ivana really the biological mother of little Ian?"
Leon’s mother’s eyes suddenly shot over with a strange iciness that Auntie Chamberlain had never seen before on her face.
Auntie Chamberlain’s heart trembled, and she wisely shut her mouth, knowing she shouldn’t ask things that weren’t her business.
Seeing Auntie Chamberlain lower her head and not ask further, the iciness in Leon’s mother’s eyes receded a bit. Burdened with secrets and finding no one to confide in, she called out to Auntie Chamberlain just as she was about to leave the room.
Leon’s mother suddenly spoke, "Auntie Chamberlain, come here."
Not understanding, Auntie Chamberlain returned to her side.
Leon’s mother invited Auntie Chamberlain to sit down.
Understanding, Auntie Chamberlain realized Leon’s mother had something to say to her.
Before drinking the honey, Leon’s mother had already heard Leon’s car leave, and with no other servants on this floor besides Auntie Chamberlain, she began to speak.
"Ian isn’t Ivana’s biological child. Ian’s mother is already dead. Ivana used some method to make Leon believe that she is Ian’s mother. These are Ivana’s tactics, do you understand?"
Seeing the sincerity and pain on Leon’s mother’s face, Auntie Chamberlain believed her.
"That Ivana is truly detestable. Ma’am, you can’t let her marry into the Kane family! If she’s already such a manipulator, who knows what chaos she’ll bring to the Kane family once she marries in."
"I don’t want her to marry into the Kane family either. Leon is blinded by her charm, what am I to do?"
Leon’s mother pressed her fingers against her temples, massaging her headache. This was the main reason she called Auntie Chamberlain here, to help her come up with a plan.
Auntie Chamberlain didn’t disappoint Leon’s mother, coming up with a bad idea.
Auntie Chamberlain leaned in and whispered, "...just like this, Ma’am, what do you think?"
Leon’s mother frowned, "This isn’t right, if Leon finds out..."
Auntie Chamberlain replied, "What are you afraid of? President Kane is just infatuated with that vixen Ivana right now. Even if he finds out later, at most he’ll be mad at you for a while. Do you think he’ll hold a grudge against his own mother forever?"
"Moreover, as long as Kiki bears President Kane’s child, Ma’am, you could take the pregnant Kiki on TV and let the whole world know that Ivana is nothing but a blatant mistress."
With Leon’s mother supporting Kiki and Kiki being pregnant with Leon’s child, Ivana’s status as a mistress would be solidified. Public opinion alone would drown Ivana.
Leon’s mother sighed internally; she no longer had her initial good impression of Kiki. Choosing Kiki now was a last resort. After all, in Ravenswood, Kiki was the one who often flattered her and had admired Leon for so many years. Leon’s mother could see it long ago, who would be more suited for this task?
Soon, Kiki received a call from Auntie Chamberlain.
Leon’s mother couldn’t personally tell Kiki these things, so she had to send Auntie Chamberlain instead.
Auntie Chamberlain couldn’t wait! It was another chance to gain benefits from Kiki.
Learning Auntie Chamberlain’s bad idea and that Leon’s mother approved, Kiki was delighted and quickly forgot about her incidents with Wayne Chandler last night.
"Auntie Chamberlain, you did a great job. I’ll transfer two hundred thousand to you once it’s done," Kiki said generously.
Auntie Chamberlain had expected Kiki to compensate her, two hundred thousand was as much as she made working at the Kane home for several years.
That afternoon, Kiki went to the hospital’s gynecology department.
The gynecologist looked at Kiki with disdain in her eyes, thinking at this age, she should be in school, yet she already has gynecological issues?
"What’s bothering you?"
"I want a hymen repair," Kiki said calmly, without the slightest sign of nervousness, as if she was skilled and experienced.
The gynecologist was slightly surprised. Usually, girls getting this kind of procedure would be nervous and shy, asking all kinds of questions. But this girl was so composed like it was as simple as drinking water, a seasoned veteran at repairs!

Meanwhile,
Silas Joyce had already contacted a charitable organization for Ivana Monroe. Among charity organizations, it was the most reliable, allowing donors to know exactly where their contributions were going and even sending representatives to supervise donations in impoverished regions.
Ivana trusted Silas very much and allowed him to arrange a time with the charity organization to go to the Monroe family’s old home, where her grandfather would personally donate the funds.
Silas immediately set the time for around one-thirty in the afternoon.
Silas called Ivana to invite her for lunch, suggesting they visit her grandfather together afterward.
Ivana declined, recalling how Leon got jealous seeing her have lunch with Silas once, dragging her away passionately, causing a scene.
She never wanted to go through that again.
Moreover, now that she was legally tied to Leon, she needed to consider his feelings in everything she did.
