Chapter 313: Met With The Son
"What are you doing here?" Xander questioned, already sensing the presence of that person.
"I came to see you," the person replied. "Is it wrong to see my son?"
"You’ve long disowned me as your son, so you shouldn’t call me that, Mr. Wallace," Xander countered.
His voice was devoid of any warmth or attachment, a hollow tone meant for a stranger, not a father. Behind him, his father watched with a faint smirk curling on his lips, as if amused by the distance between them.
"You shouldn’t speak to your father like that, Xander," Mr. Wallace said, stepping closer until he stood directly in front of him. He exchanged a knowing look with Bruce—a silent message that passed between them before he returned his gaze to Xander. "I came to commend you for your recent upload. She deserved every bit of it."
"I hope you’re not thinking I’m doing it because you requested I make Anastasia suffer. I’m doing it because I want to. I’m not following any of your orders." Xander tried to clear up any sort of imagination Mr. Wallace had built in his head, but the man looked unconvinced.
Although it was a slight hope, he believed Xander still wanted him to acknowledge him as his son.
"I asked you to have Anastasia kidnapped, and you did it," Mr Wallace revealed.
Xander leveled a cold glare at his father. "You really think I’d follow your orders? After everything that’s happened? You’re delusional." His voice was sharp, each word laced with a defiance that spoke volumes about the resentment simmering beneath.
