Chapter 925: Chapter 925 The So-Called Deep Love_1
Old Sir Simmons was notoriously promiscuous back in the day, a fact everyone knew. Perhaps it was because of his face, or perhaps because of his family heritage, that even while being so openly indulgent, outsiders would still lavish him with praise.
Some even saw him as a target for their own learning and surpassing.
But in Jimmy Simmons’s eyes, Old Sir Simmons was not entirely as such.
On the contrary, to Jimmy, Old Sir Simmons was very devoted. How devoted?
Even the women Old Sir Simmons took up with after his wife passed away, whether in features or temperament, always bore some resemblance to the late Old Madam Simmons.
The two were each other’s first love, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, the match made in heaven in everyone else’s eyes.
Hannah had heard this sort of so-called sweet love story more than once, and she had no interest in continuing to listen, her expression remaining indifferent.
But Jimmy kept talking about it with great enjoyment.
In her mind, Hannah had been holding back for a long time and finally couldn’t help but silently refute Jimmy’s words.
"It’s all lies, this talk of wholehearted devotion, it’s just an excuse. Master, don’t believe what he says. Even Jimmy himself doesn’t know how fickle his grandfather was, already being so... when he was still in school,"
Hannah knew from the original story’s extra Chapters that Old Sir Simmons was not the so-called devoted good man he was made out to be.
It’s true that Old Madam Simmons was his first love, but he was also the first love of several other girls at the same time.
Did Old Madam Simmons really not know about all this?
Of course she knew, but with the two families so well matched, if just needing a so-called loving couple from the high society could push up the company’s stock prices, then why not?
Only later, after Old Madam Simmons died and Old Sir Simmons lost his restraint, did women come and go one after another. However, being a person who valued bloodline, he would never allow women outside to bear his children.
The mother of Arnold Simmons was an exception to him.
But who would have thought that these things, in the eyes of Jimmy who worshipped his grandfather, turned into a thorn that couldn’t be removed?
As Jimmy spoke, he suddenly chuckled. There was too much coldness in that laughter, and most of it was mockery, "Hannah, you know, Arnold’s mother was the one who resembled my grandmother the most."
He no longer used the titles of the so-called elders, but called her by her name.
His disdain for the existence of illegitimate children was great, but his loathing for Arnold was even greater, and there were several times when his actions were truly motivated by the desire to kill.
After a moment’s silence, Hannah looked at the person in front of her and suddenly laughed. Her laugh was faint, as if it had passed through the clouds and settled in Jimmy’s ear.
Then he heard a soft sigh.
"Jimmy, have you ever thought that George River might actually be your biological brother?"
Jimmy frowned, confusion in his eyes.
Hannah wasn’t in a hurry and simply explained slowly, "You see, you all hold so-called deep love so high, yet you wander carelessly through a garden of women, and in the end, you tell others that such deep love is the most precious."
Arnold was initially startled, finally understanding the meaning behind Hannah’s previous words, and then a smile appeared, his dark eyes carrying some indescribable implication.
"I’ve heard about the matter between you and George River."
All around was silent, with only the occasional cold wind stirring up the fallen leaves, causing the swing under the tree to sway gently.
The swing seemed to be newly installed; Hannah pulled on it to check if it was secure before sitting down, her legs swinging lightly, creating a slight arc.
She smiled gracefully, "Was it Tiffany Lynch who told you?"
