After all, they were still his daughters, so Lucius came to Vireo while trembling. "Vireo, you…at least say something, my son. They are your sisters. That's an undeniable fact. You are friends with Mister Ford. Plead with Mister Ford for them. Your sisters did not mean it. It was because they were worried about your situation that they had taken Mister Ford's wife as a criminal. Besides, perhaps Mister Ford's wife was also tricked, and maybe those people were all criminals? Then, we would also be considered to have saved Mister Ford's wife in time this way."The older man was indeed the wiser man. At the critical moment, Lucius did not panic, and he also spoke in an orderly manner.Sabrina, who was behind him, smiled. "Sir, you are right. When the situation is unclear, it is possible that I have also been tricked. Thank you for your attentiveness and concern."Lucius immediately smiled. "Missus Ford, you're such a forgiving person—""However!" Sabrina immediately cut Lucius off and
The Payne family, who were already trembling in fear, turned their heads around together to look behind them, and they saw an old man getting out of the car that Mister Ford had come out of earlier. This old man looked slightly younger than the old man from earlier. He should be around Lucius' age, and he seemed like he was in his seventies. However, that old man's mightiness and solemnity were something that Lucius would never be able to be compared to. Lucius absolutely was not even worthy to be nobody in the face of the old man.The old man with a cold expression came to Lucius and his wife, as well as the Payne sister, and looked at them with a gaze as sharp as a knife. "I, Sean Ford, have lived more than seventy years old, and I unexpectedly am able to witness such a strange thing at this very moment. He clearly is my biological son! Why are there suddenly so many lunatics going to the hospital to make trouble and snatch my son? What is your purpose in snatching my son away from
However, he never expected that Sean would step up and help him deal with the Payne family at that moment. Sean was also the only one that was the most convincing. After all, they were indeed a pair of biological father and son. At that moment, Sean already slowly came to Vireo and he raised his head to look at Vireo. This son of Sean's was half a head taller than him and he had inherited all of the Ford family's good qualities. Like his brothers, he was tall and handsome. However, he was the kindest person among all of Sean's sons. He had never been involved in business and had poured all of his heart and soul into his career in medicine. Even if this son never were to acknowledge Sean for life, it was also what Sean deserved. Sean did not blame his son. He only wanted to save him from the hot waters."Son." Sean was covered in tears as he raised his hand to touch his son's cheeks. "It's my fault. Your mother and I were too busy back then, so we had left you with the Payne family on
Proof? The proof of the DNA paternity test? That was the Payne family's shortcoming. Lucius was unable to produce that. He stuttered. "I…I…"Sean sneered. "What's the matter? You can't produce it? Are you guys really a group of criminals?""No! I am unable to produce the proof of the DNA paternity test, but Vireo indeed is our son! Our neighbors, Vireo's teachers, and classmates in school can testify to this!" Lucius said loudly."Great!" Sean calmly smiled. "You may invite your neighbors, your son's classmates, and teachers out here to testify!""Alright! I'll give them a call now." While saying that, Lucius started to take out his phone.However, Lucius was still unable to forget Sean and Sebastian's power in South City. No matter what was the result that day, Lucius also knew that the Payne family could not afford to offend the Ford family from South City. Therefore, while he dialed a set of numbers on his phone, he also looked at Sean with a smile at the same time."Sir, we m
"That's right, Mister Ford Senior. Don't worry. We don't have any bad intentions at all. We only want to prove that we are not criminals," Ashnah said at once.Abigail was the timidest. She trembled. "Mister Ford Senior, i-in the future, we'll be your relatives. Hahaha. Relatives…"Seeing the Payne family embarrassing themselves like that, Sean was even more disdainful. No matter how he was in bad shape and how his sons disliked him, he still had the ability to crush the Payne family's imposing manners. Even if he did not get angry, his calm expression was enough to frighten the Payne sisters so much that they did not dare to make a sound. The Payne sisters smiled awkwardly.It was indeed too awkward, so the eldest sister, Chloe, then looked at her father. "Dad, why isn't…your calls going through? If you can't get through to Mister Lewis, who lived next door, then first give Vireo's teacher in middle school, Mister Wayne, a call. Aren't you quite close with Mister Wayne?"Lucius wa
Lucius was so frightened that his face turned pale. "No, how could this be? How could it be like this?"The police officer was very serious. "I have already figured out the general gist of the matter from what I heard! Your family did have a son. You had brought him back from another place, but you did not go through the adoption procedures, right? Not only did you not go through the adoption procedures, but you even did not love and care for the son that you had brought home. It seems that what your neighbors wanted to say is you were involved in child abuse, right? You actually abused and killed the son that you had brought back?"Lucius continuously took a few straps back. "No, it's not like that. Listen to me. Listen to me. It's not like that. Our son is not dead. H-He is right in front of our eyes. Vireo, say something. You're our son. We've raised you since you were a baby, son." At that moment, Lucius desperately wanted to kneel before Vireo while Vireo was unexpectedly covere
Why did she not be nicer to her adopted son? He was such a good child. Since childhood, he had been smart, studious, and never let others be worried about him. Also, he cared for his parents and had never competed and fought for the family's properties. How great he was! Why did the Payne family repeatedly harm their adopted son? They have shot themselves in the foot at that moment! They deserved it! It served them right!Vireo's adoptive mother never resisted anymore. The Payne sisters had also turned to jelly like soft and rotten tomatoes, and they were not even able to stand up anymore. At that moment, Lucius was the one who still had a little bit of courage and was able to hold himself up. However, no matter how courageous he was, it was also of no help. The police would never let them go. "Mister Lucius Payne, right? Please come with us to the police station together with your entire family."Lucius continuously retreated. "No, no, no. I'm already so old. I can't go to prison. I
The Payne family were not the only ones who were shocked. The onlookers who had gathered around were also shocked. Why were there so many people coming over one after another? It was very clear that this was set up. The Payne family, however, clearly was already set up by others, yet they still acted in such an arrogant and domineering manner. Even if they died, they really would not even have known how they died.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Elsa came in front of Lucius. She had a thin face, and she looked very calm. She was so calm as if she had nothing to do with this world at all, but not, at the same time. Elsa's face had that kind of calmness from being disillusioned with the world, or perhaps she was a person who had once lost all hope. Of course, that was exactly the case!After she had given birth to her son back then when she was twenty years old, the only loved ones she had were her son and her grandmother. Her grandmother passed away, and her son was taken away an
