Ralph looked at Yasmin.
Yasmin met Ralph’s gaze with displeasure and asked solemnly, “Did you bring Chairman Thompson here?”
With his eyes bulging, Ralph took the matter seriously and dissociated himself from the question. “Tsk. I may be Wyatt’s son, but I’m no traitor. I will never betray Bella!”
Amused by his cheeky remark, Yasmin asked in a hushed tone, “What do we do now? Do we open the door?”
Ralph slipped his hands into his pocket and scoffed. “My dad will tear the door down if you don’t open it for him.”
Yasmin was lost for words.
Not wanting to offend the visitor any longer, Yasmin took a breath and opened the door.
The green and lush front lawn was crowded with Wyatt’s security detail.
Wyatt stood at the door with a grimace, with Quentin standing right behind him.
He prepared a script in his mind and pulled a stern face, but the sight of his youngest son took him by surprise.
Quentin was taken aback. “Mr. Ralph?!”
Ralph scratched his head. “Hi, Dad…”
Wyatt glanced at his son and then at Yasmin. As if that was not enough, he took a big step back and looked at the house number.
“You’re at the right place, Chairman Thompson. It’s here.” Quentin did not know how to react.
Disappointed, Wyatt shot Ralph a look of disdain.
“We should go in and talk, Chairman Thompson, Mr. Ralph.” Quentin smiled wryly. The Thompson kids were the apples of Wyatt’s eye, but they would also be the death of him.
…
Wyatt and Ralph sat opposite each other, and the air in the living room was tense at best.
“So you knew that Bella was living here, but you kept it from me?” Wyatt gritted his teeth in fury. “Are you even my son?”
Ralph grabbed an apple from the platter and took a bite. “Do you want to do a paternity test?”
