Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife

Chapter 412: Chapter 412 Kid, do you have a lot of questions? Chapter 412: Chapter 412 Kid, do you have a lot of questions? “Yes.”

Brandon Piers’ mood was influenced by Abigail, and his voice was light and cheerful.

Abigail was instantly satisfied. She completely rolled down the car window and stuck her head out. The car drove along the blue stone road, passing by sunflowers, a herb garden, and a rose garden, and even a vineyard. It was the end of August, the perfect season for ripe grapes.

Bunches of plump purple grapes hung on the vines, glowing with a golden light in the sunset, extremely tempting. Abigail couldn’t help wanting to pick a few to taste.

Brandon noticed her thoughts. “It’s late today, I’ll take you to pick some tomorrow morning.”

“Really? That’s awesome! I suddenly feel like marrying you was totally worth it.”

“Haha, does that mean you felt it wasn’t worth it before?” Brandon caught the loophole in Abigail’s words.

Abigail clearly felt the temperature in the car drop sharply. It was a bit chilly. “No, how could that be? If anyone’s at a loss, it should be you.”

Such a strong survival instinct!

The car drove for more than ten minutes before Abigail saw the main house. It had a modern architectural style, not as rich in ancient charm as the Piers’ old mansion, but very comfortable to the eye.

But what impressed Abigail the most was not the house itself, nor the strong pastoral vibe everywhere, but its size.

It was particularly huge.

Abigail suspected it must be over a thousand acres.

Who didn’t know that land was extremely expensive in Swallow City? The courtyard house she lived in with her grandfather before was only 200 square meters, with a market valuation of two hundred million yuan. So how did the Piers manage to acquire this behemoth?

“This land belonged to the Piers since the Republic of FloweryKingdom era. It has been passed down and renovated for generations, becoming what it is today.” Brandon noticed Abigail’s confusion.

“Do all the Piers live here?” Abigail asked curiously. If that were the case, wouldn’t it be daily scheming and intrigue?

“No, it’s now in my personal name.”

Abigail’s mouth slightly opened as she began to understand why the other two branches of the Piers family hated Brandon so much.

If she were in their shoes, she’d hate too if their father was so biased.

“I know what you’re thinking. But only my father is Grandfather’s biological son; the other three branches are not.” Brandon looked at Abigail’s finally understanding expression and laughed softly.

“What?” Abigail thought she must be hearing things. How could that be?

If the other three branches weren’t Grandfather’s sons, then Grandfather…

Suddenly, Abigail imagined Grandfather Piers with a patch of green hair on his head.

Brandon reached out and tapped Abigail’s forehead. “Don’t overthink it. Grandfather only married Grandmother. As for the main branch, it’s his cousin’s child. Mason Piers and Oliver Piers are a pair of twins from Grandfather’s sister.”

Abigail, “…” What kind of trickery is this?

Seeing Abigail’s bewildered look, Brandon found it amusing. He thought of a song that had been popping up on Pullan’s phone these past few days: “Little kids, don’t you have lots of questions?”

“Let’s get out of the car first.” Without hurrying to answer Abigail, Brandon helped her out of the car and headed towards the main house. From a distance, he saw Aunt Claudia holding Teddy, and Kelly waving at her.

Abigail quickly went up, soothing Teddy, who hadn’t seen her all day, then turned her curious eyes back to Brandon.

Brandon looked at those bright, black almond eyes that mirrored Teddy’s, the corners of his mouth lifting in a wide smile. He glanced at Kelly and the others. “You all go play with Teddy first.”

Kelly understood immediately that Brandon and Abigail needed to talk, and hastily took Aunt Claudia and the child elsewhere.

Moon Lake Manor was extremely large. The variety of plants and flowers in the manor was very rich. Little Teddy, having just seen his mother, was quickly distracted by the new and exciting world around him, happily waving his little hands.

Abigail couldn’t help but laugh, then turned her head to continue looking at Brandon.

Brandon shook his head helplessly and continued, “Grandfather was a swinger when he was young, getting into a lot of romantic entanglements. But at thirty, he met Grandmother and settled down. However, after many years, they found out he was infertile. As the eldest son of the main branch, he inherited the Piers family. How could he continue without children? So, Great-grandfather decided to adopt his trusted brother’s eldest son.”

Abigail was genuinely surprised to learn that Grandfather was such a philanderer!

“What about the second and third branches?” Maybe it was because it concerned Brandon, so Abigail was unusually curious about the rich family’s gossip.

“After adopting his son, within a year, Grandfather’s only sister was revealed to have an out-of-wedlock child. It was a huge scandal back then, incomparable to now. The Piers, being a big family, were thrown into chaos. So great-grandfather repeated his trick to balance the families and announced the twins were Grandmother’s children.”

“Then how did Grandmother manage to have a child later?” As a doctor, Abigail knew very well that the likelihood of curing infertility was extremely low, and it couldn’t be done through IVF either. So how was Brandon’s father born?

Speaking of this, Brandon’s expression darkened. “That’s exactly the problem. A year after adopting the twins, Grandmother got pregnant. Grandfather’s condition was known in the Piers’ Mansion. When the news of Grandmother’s pregnancy broke, it caused considerable malice against Grandmother. But Grandfather believed in her innocence and kept investigating secretly…”

Brandon paused for a moment, “Despite this, Grandmother was still subjected to a lot of humiliation and schemes, both openly and secretly. Coupled with her own depression, although she proved father was indeed Grandfather’s son after giving birth, she passed away from illness when father was ten. Grandfather later discovered that the infertility diagnosis was a conspiracy. But at the time, the Piers family was at a pivotal moment. As a gentle-natured person, he chose to endure.”

Because of this, the Piers were left with great troubles.

Abigail was stunned.

It was so complicated. You could never guess what people might do when personal interests were involved.

“Then why do the second and third branches hate you so much?” Abigail didn’t understand. Given they weren’t biological, and Brandon’s father had inherited the Piers, they hadn’t really lost out. Why do they still resent Mr. Piers so much? Even to this extent now!

“Because father suspected that Grandmother’s death was related to his little sister. She died unexpectedly during the investigation.” Brandon sighed.

Abigail was perplexed.

“The reasons are quite complicated. I’ll explain them to you slowly later.” Brandon was telling Abigail all this now to make her aware of the internal feuds within the Piers family and thus avoid any trouble.

Abigail nodded. She was born in the Smith family and practically grew up depending on her grandfather. She’d never dealt with such complicated personal relationships, other than necessary ones, she had no interpersonal relations.

After hearing Brandon’s story, it would take her a while to digest it all.

“By the way, I have an older sister who has been living in F Nation with my mother.” Brandon suddenly remembered something and mentioned it casually.

Abigail was slightly shocked. It was the first time she had heard this.

She finally understood that his ranking wasn’t based on being a Piers family member but because he was the second child at home.

All right.

She knew as soon as she arrived in Swallow City that things were dangerous here. Now, she only felt more overwhelmed.

“Welcome home, Second Young Master, Young Madam.” Just as Abigail was lost in thought, a chorus of greetings startled her. She jumped, feeling like she was in an idol drama!
