What happened seven years ago had always been Eden's taboo.
But Victor admitted it now.
He admitted that he was their birth father.
Meanwhile, Kenneth and Henrick, who came to see their younger sister, also heard what Victor said.
Kenneth frowned. He wondered why Victor did not say it before, but chose to say it under such circumstances.
That would make Mom very angry.
Kenneth silently felt sorry for his dad from in his heart.
He looked at Mom worriedly. Just looking at her tense back, he could feel her intense pain.
"Mom." Kenneth called her mom with distress.
Henrick saw the tears in his brother's eyes and understood everything in an instant. Kenneth had already known the truth. That was why Kenneth had said those to him that morning, asking him to call Victor 'Dad' if he was willing.
Kenneth had always been mysterious to him. All secrets seemed to be in his computer.
"Kenneth." Henrick looked at Kenneth, whose eyes were still fixed on his mother.
Teacher Roerig said, "Mr. Alwynn, I don't know who spread the rumour first. But we have to make explanations to protect children from being hurt."
Victor was very calm, "Teacher Roerig, I'm sorry! This is my fault. There was many fake news about my wife on the Internet. Those were spread by some competitors in business. I didn't expect that they would bring such harm to my children.”
"Wife? How is it possible? When did you get married? If you get married, how can we not be invited?" Mrs. Evenbrace said sarcastically, as if she had heard something ridiculous.
Victor razzed. If the Evenbrace family dared to come to his wedding, he would dare to "invite" them out.
"Laura, shut your beak!" Mask abused. He knew how ruthless Victor was.
They might go bankrupt today if Victor wanted.
But Laura still dared to satirize him. This ignorant woman feared nothing.
Laura looked at her husband fiercely, "Why? Aunt didn't mention their marriage. It's obvious that there's something fishy about it. I really can't understand why Mr. Alwynn wants to protect this shameless woman...”
Victor glanced at her with his cold eyes, which made Laura shiver. All her words were stopped by the terrible eyes.
Eden stepped forward and interrogated Laura. "Madam, Victor is my husband and my children's father. This is a fact that cannot be denigrated."
Although she was angry, at this moment, there was nothing more important than her children. No one could bully them.
Laura was stunned, "Were those rumors online true?" she wondered.
No one could figure out Victor's ideas.
Victor sneered, "Spare your life? Mr. Evenbrace, this is a society ruled by law. How could I want your life?" His cold voice sounded like it came from thousands of miles away, piercing through people's heart.
Mask said anxiously, "Mr. Alwynn, we're willing to make any compensation for the damage we have done to the Mrs. Bleu, as long as Mr. Alwynn is willing to forgive us."
He knew Victor's methods well. He would never forget that Victor let the King Family go bankrupt, just because Mr. King's daughter offended Eden at a banquet.
At first he didn't care about the thing very much, but later, the medias which did disservices to Eden also disappeared for no reason.
Now Mask thought back. His whole body was almost soaked in sweat.
Victor said, "Mr. Evenbrace, get up first. Well talk about that later. Now apologize to my daughter." he said the word apologize heavily.
Mask stumbled up, looked at his daughter with unpleasant eyes, and said, "Sibyl, apologize to Gia."
Sibyl looked at Giada's face reluctantly. She pouted and looked at her father with the grievance, "Dad, why should I apologize to her? Didn't you say these words? I don't want to do that. She hit me. She pulled my hair and hit my back. She is the one who needs to apologize."
Giada said angrily, "If I hear you say that again, I'll beat you harder."
"Giada, you think you can do whatever you want with good grades? Impossible." Sibyl also stared fearlessly at Giada.
