NovelAppChapter 1659: Words that Kill the Heart Maddox watched the backs of the siblings until he suddenly realized what he had lost. Even if he regained control of the Riddle family, what did it matter? He had no descendants. Penelope was dead. Ache and Kaitlyn's biological father was unknown, a bastard child from who knows where. Leon, Hattie, Selena - none of them would acknowledge him as family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout an heir to inherit his legacy, what good were all those things he had acquired? In his youth, Maddox didn't think twice about secretly replacing a wife for the sake of love. He never realized how much it would affect him until now.
Maddox finally understood that what he lost far outweighed anything he gained. Not only did he lose control over Riddle Group but also its bloodline... all those past sins and darkness cback to haunt him in a more cruel way than ever before.
He let out a loud scream in agony but no matter how much regret or unwillingness filled his heart, neither Leon nor Hattie turned back even once.
Maddox watched helplessly as his last descendant left and covered his head with both hands before bursting into tears.

"What does it feel like to be betrayed by everyone, Maddox?" Maddox heard the voice and looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the man in front of him. He roared in anger, "Oscar!" Oscar looked at him calmly with clear eyes. "It should have been my younger brother who saw you off on your final journey, but he's out and hasn't returned yet. So I'll do it for him." Maddox's face twisted even more when Callum was mentioned. If it weren't for Callum, where would Nevaeh get the courage to defy him? If Nevaeh had just stayed out of Kiera's way and not fought over Callum with her, how could Kiera have gone down the path of betrayal that led to the downfall of the Riddle family?! And if Nevaeh hadn't given birth to Selena with Callum, how could Riddle Group have been destroyed?! The tragedy of the Riddle family was all because of Callum! Maddox glared at Callum resentfully. "Riddle Group won't be finished! You know that right Oscar? As long as Cummings family is around, Riddle Group will rise again!" What did Leon and Hattie matter if they didn't recognize him? There were still other descendants from peripheral branches who could continue Riddle Group's glory even if they weren't his biological offspring.
Riddle Group... it absolutely couldn't be destroyed under his watch! Oscar chuckled lightly as he looked into Maddox's greedy eyes.
"Actually," Oscar said slowly,"the young master of The Riddles made a mistake earlier." Maddox watched Oscar warily; after living so many years and experiencing countless storms in life already Leon's words had hit hard but not enough to completely break Maddox down yet.
"But Oscar is different! Of the three Turner brothers, aside from their deceased third son, Oscar and Callum are nightmares of the old the capital generation.
Oscar looked into Maddox's eyes and smiled. "Actually, the Riddle family didn't just produce a princess; they produced a true queen." Maddox's pupils suddenly shrank. "What... what do you mean?!" Oscar looked at him with ssarcasm. "The five-year-old empress who ruled for thirteen years in Central City was named Selena.” "She shares the snand surnas my niece, your granddaughter.” "Maddox, do you understand what I'm getting at?"
