Sh*t! Why is she so fierce? That's my dad!

Although Zayron had been speaking at length about ruining his father, such a treacherous act had only existed in his imagination. He had never considered executing it.

Now that it seemed to have lit his mother's fuse, he relished the suffering his scoundrel of a biological father might be in for.

Zayron decided against speaking further at that juncture for fear of making things worse.

At his reticence, Bailey took a deep breath to subdue the impulse of slapping him into the wall.

She strode to the desk and turned on the laptop.

After logging in to her messenger, she found Kai's avatar and clicked on it to reveal a log of their previous chats and an offline document.

Upon hesitating several seconds before the desk, Bailey clenched her jaw and clicked the file.

The first thing she saw was the particularly arresting headline of “Paternity Test Report.”

Her legs gave way after she perused the contents within, and she slumped into the seat.

When she read the words “The owner of these two samples are biological father and son,” she began shaking all over.

It's been seven years. I have been looking for this scoundrel for seven years. No wonder I couldn't find him in the blood bank. Turns out he is one of the Luthers.

The Luther family, being powerful and influential, had been keeping the blood samples of their descendants out of the public security database, which was how he had been able to get away for seven years.

Hah! Now I've caught him.

Zayron was frightened by the coldness of his mother's gaze. He hurried forward to hug her. “It's not worth breaking the law and putting yourself in prison for this guy, Mommy. Calm down, all right?”

Bailey looked down at him. “I will not spend my days with that b*stard father of yours,” she declared coldly. “If you want to return to your real family, you can go now.”

The child was rendered speechless and near tears. Despite that, he gazed steadily into his mother's eyes. “I've only known you all my life, Bailey, and I only want you. That b*stard father of mine has nothing to do with me. You've raised me just fine these couple of years without a dad. I can't do without you, Mommy. I'll starve to death.”

Just as Bailey was rendered dumbstruck with surprise, the door was pushed open from the outside, revealing Susan, who then entered.

When she saw her brother hugging her mother while crying, she hurriedly went over and hugged her mother's waist from the other side.






































“We can pretend that nothing happened, Mommy. Let Daddy Eddy continue to be our father. Why don't you two get a marriage certificate quietly? They can't control the pair of you making children behind closed doors.”

For the second time in as many minutes, Bailey was struck dumb again. The corner of her lips twitched, and the anger in her heart subsided at her daughter's outburst.

Edmund must have seen the news now that the matter of the paternity test is trending. Perhaps he is having a harder time than me.

However, there was nothing more she could do.

Before that day, she had harbored the fantasy that she might marry him someday and experience a complete marriage with his hand in hers.

With the recent exposure of the fact that her son was his cousin's—no matter how shameless or fearless she was toward the prejudice of the world—she did not have the courage to spend her life with him anymore.

Although Bailey did not mind being the subject of gossip and judgment, she could not bring Edmund, who was elegant and gentlemanly, to suffer abuse and condemnation for her sake.

That man saved me from distress and helped me to break free from my predicament. If I have some conscience, I shouldn't pester him anymore and tarnish his reputation.

“Zayron, Susan.”

As she called her children, Bailey reached out to stroke their heads. “Let's not call Edmund Daddy Eddy anymore when we see him, all right? He is your uncle. It will embarrass the Chiverses and the Luthers if you call him Daddy.”

Susan wanted to refute but was stopped by a glare from Zayron.

“All right. We'll do as you say.”

Bailey reached out to push them aside and stood up from her seat. “Let's not hide here in the study and go outside. Victoria and Juliana are still in the living room.”

The girl wrapped her arm around her mother's and giggled. “I'm hungry, Mommy. I want some spicy meat.”

Kneeling on the carpet in the living room of the Luther residence, Simon gazed fearfully at his mother and brother seated on the couch.
