Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2032
Irene was always the spotlight in every Moore family banquet.
Whether it was the uncles who came from afar or the younger son's family taking care of Frederick, none of them could ever gain
Frederick's favor.
It was not about his bias toward daughters but rather because Irene resembled his past lover, whom he had abandoned back
then.
In every aristocratic family, one could date any woman but only marry someone from an equal background.
Janet Yarrow, Frederick's current wife, was a woman from an equal background. Rumor had it that his past love had jumped into
the river on his wedding day. Some also claimed she married a carpenter and moved to Lakerock. Regardless, no one had ever
seen her again.
The Moore family's playboy became Janet's devoted husband after tying the knot with her.
However, Janet had poor health and suffered three miscarriages from four pregnancies. Their only son was intellectually
disabled, and the Moore family was reluctant to acknowledge him as a part of them.
When the child turned three, Frederick adopted a boy of the same age from a different place, changed his last name to Moore,
and made him his son.
Coincidentally, the Yarrow family was in a downfall and was incapable of standing up for Janet against Frederick's actions,
leaving her no choice but to endure the humiliation.

After the first time, it happened again and again.
Marshall's second uncle, his father, and his aunt, Irene Moore, were then brought into the family one after another over the
following years.
Outsiders only knew that Janet had three sons and a daughter, but little did they know that none of them were her biological
children. Her only son was never made known.
The promiscuous Frederick was also cold-hearted and somewhat obsessed. Every woman he slept with resembled his past love.
The one
who looked most like her was Irene's mother, an actress who performed stage shows.
The young actress was beautiful and talented but had a fiery temper.
Knowing Frederick's obsession with her, she often came to Janet's home to provoke her.
Janet could not bear the insult. Burdened by constant sorrow, she fell into deep depression. Before her son grew up, she
succumbed to her illness.
After she passed away, her son left the house one day and never came back because of the lack of supervision from the family.
Strange enough, after Frederick's legitimate wife passed away, Irene's mother, who had been favored, also died three months
later during winter.
It was just an ordinary day without heavy snow. While going up the stairs, she stepped on a patch of ice that had fallen from the
roof. Her head hit the protruding nail on the uneven doorstep, leading to her instantaneous death.

Some said that the funeral was even more grandiose than that of Janet. Rumor also had it that Frederick could not move on for
several years until he noticed that Irene was becoming more and more like the person he missed. So, he showered all his
affection on her.
Many years later, Ariel found out about this from a maid who had served in the Moore family for a long time. Sorrow washed her
over. She felt like Frederick did not deserve everything he had after what he had done.
At that time, Marshall thought, 'In this world, evil doings rarely rebound upon themselves. Instead, good people would usually live
a short life. Otherwise, how could my grandfather live to such an old age?'
Setting that aside, Frederick had undoubtedly done everything in his power to ensure his four children succeeded. He wanted
everyone to follow his plan, whether in their careers or family lives.
Wallace was the first to ever disobey Frederick. He did not marry a woman from an equal background as Frederick had wanted.
Instead, he married Ariel, who was his classmate at university.
Yet, Wallace could not bear to give up the privilege of being a part of the
Moore family. So, Ariel became the one to suffer the consequences of his defiance.
The Moore family sank everyone like a decaying and rusting cruise ship. However, the people on the ship were either oblivious
to their situation, immersed in their past glory, or aware but unwilling to part with everything on board.
Marshall swept his gaze across everyone at the table.
Their polite conversations, accompanied by pretentious smiles, seemed meticulously calculated, as if saying or doing one thing
wrong would tear away their masks.
