Elder Roberts then stood up and said to Father Roberts and Wren, “I am completely humiliated just by looking at the two of you. What person in their right mind would go do a DNA test over a passing comment? If the media were to find out, do you want them to suspect that there’s a secret behind Eric’s birth?”
“I’m not going to mention what happened at Global Square…”
“…but as someone in a more senior position, it’s bad enough that you tried to frame, torment, jinx, scheme and blame your daughter-in-law, you even tried to fl*p right from wrong. Even an animal wouldn’t turn around and bite it’s own child. Are the two of you worse than animals?” Father Roberts asked sternly.
“Don’t think that just because Eric is your son, he is expected to obey your every order. If that’s the case, does that mean I can also order the two of you to do whatever I want?”
“If so, I’ll order the two of you to immediately get a divorce and for Wren to immediately disappear from my sight. What do you think?”
Father Roberts looked at Elder Roberts in shock.
“I’m not lifting a hand today because I can’t be bothered to hit you. Neither of you have ever done anything good, yet you have the audacity to make a fuss.”
“Why should you be making a fuss? What right do you have to make a fuss?”
“Don’t you feel embarrassed after causing a scene in front of everyone?”
“I can’t believe you were shameless enough to invite me here to be a judge. If I was someone that couldn’t differentiate bet**en right and wrong, what would you have done to Emma?” Elder Roberts said as he approached the couple. “Neither of you have ever upheld the responsibility of a parent, yet you expect Eric to do what you ask of him. Who gave you the confidence to expect this?”
“Wren, stop causing trouble. From the moment that you changed your name and refused to acknowledge your ancestors, I already dismissed you as my daughter-in-law. I even wanted to dismiss my useless son as well. You are both ridiculous. Just because you did a bit of research on so-called ‘advanced technology’, you have no regard for anyone else. If not for your age, I would have slapped you both in the face a long time ago.”
Father Roberts and Wren’s face turned green and then pale. They were completely speechless.
“Who are you planning to kick out? This is Eric’s home. Even the luxurious villa that you are currently staying in was purchased by him. How dare you try and kick someone out?”
“Father…”
“Don’t call me father,” Elder Roberts warned. “From now on, Eric will no longer call you father. Since you are so arrogant as to look down on your son, daughter-in-law and father, you might as well follow Wren and change your surname to Hua. You’ve already been spellbound by this temptress for too many years.”
After hearing Elder Roberts’s words, both Father Roberts and Wren were stunned as they fell into a panic.
After all, Elder Roberts’s authority could not be challenged. Even someone like Wren, who was ruthless, still had to bow down in front of the old man.
Above all, Wren never imagined that Elder Roberts’s relationship with Emma was so strong and good.
“Emma, if these two come and make a scene again, don’t go easy on them. Let the bodyguards do what they need to do. Whether they get beaten to death or paralyzed, they deserve it. These are grandfather’s words. Whatever happens, I will take responsibilty.” Elder Roberts did not feel like he had stuck up for Emma enough, so he took things a step further.
“Don’t think that just because others are going easy on you, they are afraid of you.”
“Roberts Shayan, after we return home, you better give me a viable reason for why Wren created a fake report. If you can’t, then I want you to immediately get divorced. Non negotiable.”
Father Roberts came today with the intention to deal with Emma, but unexpectedly, he ended up being taught a lesson by Elder Roberts. In fact, he was taught a lesson in front of so many people and was left with no pride.
Wren was angry, but she was too afraid to say anything. Her eyes filled with tears but she could not make a sound because Elder Roberts was like a symbol of justice standing right opposite them.
“Father…what father in the world would force their son to get a divorce?”
“Then why are you here and what did you come here to do?”
Hearing this, Father Roberts did not say a word; he had completely slapped himself in the face.
“Father, you can say whatever you want, but I definitely didn’t tamper with the results,” Wren stuck to her guns. “If you don’t believe me, I can swear on my life.”
“Stop talking about life and death in front of me. You can’t scare me. If you were to die, it would merely be a case of suicide. It has nothing to do with anyone here. I’m sure you know better than all of us if it is worth it.”
Wren was furious, but she could not fight back, because Elder Roberts had completely dismissed the act she was trying to put on.
After all, he had acted for many years…
The trick that Wren was trying to play was a typical trick used by characters in films.
“If there’s nothing else, then get lost. The sight of both of you makes me angry.”
Father Roberts felt insulted, but there was nothing he could do. He could only glare at Emma as he helped Wren up and led her out of the villa.
Meanwhile, everyone else laughed inside as they watched them leave.
The couple had perfectly displayed what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot!
“Grandfather, you didn’t need to anger yourself over this,” Emma helped Elder Roberts over to the sofa after the couple left, “After all, I was also wrong.”
“Don’t lie, I’ve seen people like this on TV plenty of times. I refuse to acknowledge him as my son; it’s embarrassing,” Elder Roberts complained, “If these two come and cause trouble again, don’t hold back. If they get destroyed in the process, I’ll take responsibility.”
“Grandfather…”
“I am honestly angry,” Elder Roberts took a deep breath in disappointment. “When did that piece of trash stop recognizing what’s right and what’s wrong?”
“Grandfather…”
“If I didn’t do something, do you think Eric would have stayed in the study room and not shown himself?” Elder Roberts was well aware of how much Eric cared about Emma. Of course, as her grandfather-in-law, he also adored her very much.
Emma smiled without saying another word. She knew that Elder Roberts had always been firm and unyielding.
Meanwhile, during the entire incident, Lithika remained in a hidden position and did not make an appearance.
She even watched from her bedroom window as Father Roberts dragged Wren out of the villa while she struggled and cried, “I didn’t do it. The DNA results are real!”
“Old Roberts, trust me, I didn’t tamper with anything.”
This was the first time Lithika felt that Wren’s exp**ssion was sincere. It was hard for people not to trust the words that came from her mouth.
However, today was just a small test…
There were much more spectacular days ahead for Wren and Roberts Shayan.
…
Over in another part of town, Zephaniah received a final confirmation from the producers of ‘The Savage Wars’. A contract was directly sent to him and the result was apparent: Yadanar had secured the role.
That night, inside the apartment’s living room, Zephaniah sat down on the sofa as he looked at the two women. His exp**ssion was serious as he handed the contract to Yadanar.
“I told you. I have no influence towards the producers’ decision. They decided to pick Yadanar in the end, so Annie, you will just have to accept it.”
Although Annie was upset by the result, Zephaniah had already used the producers as a shield, so there was nothing she could say. She simply returned to her room, teary-eyed.
Yadanar picked up the contract and casually fl*pped through it. She didn’t actually care about the content too much.
“Happy?” Zephaniah had always favored Yadanar, but he couldn’t possibly let her know.
“All I can say is, I am much too capable,” Yadanar said proudly as she held onto the contract. “Haiz, by giving me the contract this time, isn’t your little sweetheart going to be furious?”
“You’ve already benefited, so why act nice now?”
“I’m simply worried about you,” Yadanar said before she placed a k**s on the contract and walked away with it.
However, not long after, Annie received a phone call from her cousin, “My little cousin, from what I heard, Director Matt had only sent Yadanar an offer from the start. They’ve never heard of your name before!”
“This can’t be possible. Mr. An told me that we have the same chances. How could Director Matt have not heard of my name? Ask him again,” Annie was flustered by the sudden shock. She had never imagined that Zephaniah would deceive her in secret.
“I’ve already asked in detail. He is certain that he has never heard of your name. That is the truth. By the way, I am busy, so I need to go.”
“Bro…look into it further for me. I really want to know what happened,” Annie held back her tears as she pleaded in seriousness.
Hearing her slightly sobbing voice, her cousin was put in a difficult position. So, he agreed in the end, “OK, OK, tell me everything that happened and I’ll look into it for you later tonight.”
