“If my Robert said ‘dad’ today, I’m sure Dad will be here right now, no matter how busy he is.”
“Haha, that’s true.”
Averie did not expect her daughter to have such a robust sense of humor at such a tender age.
Elyette and Nathan sat opposite each other.
The bodyguards were sent away.He wanted to know what story they had cooked up about him and where he came from.
“You do know that there are paternity tests, right?” Elyette looked at them coldly with his eagle eyes.
He could not see himself in Nathan’s face.
“How could this old rascal be my father?” he thought.
As for him and Peter White, there was not even a hint of semblance! Nathan stifled his laughter.
“Even if I were f*cking illiterate, I would still have common sense! If I weren’t your father, would I dare to approach you?”
Elyette’s expression turned gloomy.
Peter said, “If you don’t believe it, you can get a paternity test done.”
After looking at their determined expressions, Elyette picked up the phone and found just the number to dial.
“I know it’s hard for you to accept reality but facts speak louder than words.No matter how bad I’ve been living or how good you’ve been living, when you see me, you still have to call me dad! I am your biological father!”
Nathan raised his chin in pride when he said this.
Elyette’s eyes flashed coldly, and he forcefully suppressed the anger burning within him.
“If you are my father, who is my mother?”
A terrible thought came to him when he asked the question.
“Could it be that Rosalie is still my mother?” thought Elyette.
“Your mother sold liquor in nightclubs.There are nicer ways to say what she did, but the reality is, she would do anything as long as she was given some money.” Nathan revealed a greasy l smile.
“She doesn’t know how many men she had children with.So she doesn’t remember you at all.She would never have dreamed that Elyette Foster, the famous man of Aryadelle, came out of her womb! Hahahaha!”
Elyette clenched his fist into a ball.
He looked bloodthirsty!
“You don’t need to be so angry,”
Peter said when he saw Elyette’s expression.
“This entire thing was orchestrated by your Madam Rosalie! The woman you called mother is nothing but a cold-blooded and ruthless woman!”
“It can’t be! It can’t be Rosalie!” thought Elyette.
All this while Rosalie had known that he was not her biological son, but she had always treated him like he was hers.
“Did she treat me as a son out of regret, or did she just fall into the role after the passing of so many years?” thought Elyette.
“No, Rosalie Foster had always been conscious of her actions.”
From the beginning, she had ensured that all her property would be left to her biological son— Henry Foster.
She had told Elyette that she had done so because Henry did not have the capacity to make his own money, and that was why she had left him all her property.
Elyette had never thought that she was being biased, but now it seemed that she had long figured everything out! At the end of the day, the one she loved was still her biological son.
As for why she had treated Elyette like her son? That was simple.
She had done so because he had brought honor to the family.
Nathan saw that Elyette seemed to be accepting this reality, so his tone slowed down, “Elyette, my requirements are not too high. You make somuch money in a year, how can you spend it all?! Your brother is here tohelp you spend it! Don’t worry, I know you want face, we don’t have todisclose the father-son relationship as long as you give me enough money every month, I promise not to bother you in the future.” Elyette’s dangerous eagle eyes looked at The greedy old thing in front of him.
They haven’t done a paternity test yet. And Elyette will never admit that this old man is his father until he gets the test results. How dare this old b*stard make such a rude request to him?
“How much is enough money?” Elyette suppressed the disgust in his heart, and his voice came coldly. He wanted to see how much appetite the old thing had. Nathan stretched out a finger: “100 million. You earn hundreds of billions every year. I ask you for 100 million a month. Isn’t it excessive?After all, I am your father!” He was out of control in public. Even if Nathan is really his biological father, has this biological father raised him? Has he ever given him half a father’s love?
Now Nathan dares to come to him and open his mouth, and take all this for granted, it’s just absurd!
The wine glass in his hand was crushed by him, and bright red bloodbeads overflowed from his palm. Seeing this, Nathan shrank his neck in fear: “If you think I want toomuch, you can bargain! You talk well and don’t do it!” Elyette heard the word ‘bargain’ and said from his throat Acontemptuous laugh. “I won’t give you a cent until the paternity test results come out.” Elyette said.
“I understand! You must be sure that I am your father before you give themoney!” Nathan smiled contentedly. Elyette looked at him with disgust and broke his illusion: “Even if youarereally my father, you will never get any benefit from me! I even dare tokill Jaxson Foster, and if I kill one more, it will not be troublesome!” Nathan was speechless. Seeing that his father was too scared to speak, Zion immediately gatheredup his courage and said, “Are you and Averie getting married soon?If
Averie knew that you were not the young master of the Foster family, andIt’s a little wild breed who came out with gangsters and girls who accompany wine, will they be disappointed with you?” Averie’s three words made Elyette’s body froze for a moment!
She is his weakness! “We’re just asking you for some money. The most important thing youdon’t need is money. Why would you hurt peace for this money?” Zion continued, “You don’t want to be exposed to such a scandalous scandal on your wedding day, Right?” …
At 11 p.m., Elyette returned home. Seeing him coming back so late, Mrs. Scarlet asked with concern, “Sir, you…why did you drink?” Elyette lowered her eyes and turned a deaf ear to her words. He steppedona vain pace and went upstairs step by step.
He is not the young master of the Foster family, he is not Elyette, he is awild breed born of gangsters and escort girls. Such a humble life experience is tantamount to giving hima heavy blow. He suddenly remembered that Averie had asked him a question. She asked, if you are not who you are now, can you accept it? He returns, can’t. Why did Averie suddenly ask him this question? Did she knowsomething? Or a coincidence?
In the living room downstairs, Mrs. Scarlet noticed that Elyette was inabad mood, and immediately called Averie. “Averie, did you quarrel with Elyette. Averie woke up from her sleep: “no, why did you ask such a sudden?What happened to him?”
“Mr.Foster had been drinking, and he is drunk.I tried talking to him but he ignored me.It was like he lost his soul.”
Mrs.Scarlet was very worried.
“I thought the two of you got into a fight again so I called to find out what happened.”
Averie said, “Oh, he probably went to entertain some clients today and drank too much.”
That comment reassured Mrs.Scarlet.
“As long as the two of you didn’t quarrel, all is well.I’ll go upstairs to check on him later.”
Averie said, “I’ll call him and speak to him!”
“Sure thing.”
Averie hung up and called Elyette.
In the master bedroom, Elyette stared at his phone with bloodshot eyes.
His mind was blank.
He had drunk a bit too much, and while his senses were still there, he might not be able to control them as well as he would like.
He was afraid that if he answered the phone now, he would start spouting nonsense.He walked into the bathroom and splashed some water onto his face.
His phone continued ringing.
It looked like she was not going to give up and would continue calling till he answered.
He came out of the bathroom after washing his face, picked up his phone, and accepted the call.
“Elyette, who did you see? Why are you drunk?”
He could hear the concern in her voice.
“Mrs.Scarlet said that you looked like you were having an out-of-body experience.Are you still there?”
He held the phone.He was there, but his eyes were steeped in ice.
“It’s still there.I saw a few old buddies of mine today whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.I was happy and had a little too much to drink.”
“Oh…you scared the hell out of Mrs.Scarlet.She thought we had a fight.You don’t have much tolerance for alcohol.Try not to drink too much next time,” said Averie.
“Do you want me to come over? The children are asleep, and I can drive there.”
“There’s no need.”
Without thinking, he rejected her.
He just wanted to be alone now.He did not want to see anyone.He did not want to talk to anyone.
The past thirty years of his life had been a lie.
There was no truth to be found in them.He still could not believe that it was his “mother” who planned all this.
However, he had clearly felt the love Rosalie had for him.
Sometimes she would even show her open support for him to prevent his elder brother’s family from holding him back.
“Could she have seen meas her real son after all the years we have spent together?” thought Elyette.
He would not allow anyone to find out about it.
It would be kept a secret as long as the Whites did not reveal anything.
Averie knew there was something different about the way he spoke.
“Elyette, what’s wrong? You don’t sound very happy.”
She had a strong feeling in her heart that he was lying to her.
“If you really had gotten drunk while meeting a friend, shouldn’t you be high right now?”
“I have a headache,” he said.
“I haven’t been this drunk in such a long time, so I’m not quite used to it.Don’t worry about me.I’ll be fine after a night’s sleep.”
“Well, I won’t come then.”
She could not hide the disappointment in her voice.She had offered him her company.She had thought he would be happy.She had not expected him to reject her offer.
“Can he hear how unhappy I am?” she thought.
After a few seconds of silence, he said, “You told me once that irrespective of who I am, neither you nor the children would leave me.Did you really mean that?”
The topic took quite a turn, he was taken aback for a moment.
She said, “Yes.Why are you bringing this up?”
“I suddenly remembered it, and I just wanted to know whether you meant it.”
“Why don’t I believe that you’re drunk?”
He sounded normal to her.
Maybe, just a little colder than usual, but no different than how he usually sounded.
