Chapter 1053 - Chapter 1053 Chapter 1053 Daddy You Cant Just Acknowledge
Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: Daddy, You Can’t Just Acknowledge Anyone! Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: Daddy, You Can’t Just Acknowledge Anyone! Madam Hughes reacted immediately, tucking Zora Hughes behind her like a mother hen and bellowed, “Exactly! Our Zora never admitted it herself, it was you who stated that Mr. Swantz was here to cook for Cory’s granddaughter, so you cannot blame it on our Zora!”
Steve Price looked innocent, “I simply left a cliffhanger, saying that that person should call Sir Hughes grandfather. I never said it was his granddaughter. And doesn’t Sir Hughes still have a grandson?”
His retort made Cory Hughes’ face darken. Madam Hughes shouted back unwilling to concede, “You’re just talking nonsense! Those little brats from the Russell family have never called Cory ‘grandpa’, moreover, they are part of the Russell family, and Zora is the descendant of the Hughes family. You are intentionally leading us to misunderstandings!”
Steve Price did not rush to refute. The gaze of everyone present was on him.
Just as Madam Hughes thought Steve Price had nothing to say, he suddenly smiled and spoke, “Hold on here! I remember Sir Hughes only has two daughters and one son. If we’re talking about a granddaughter then, she should be Frederick Russell’s daughter. But as far as I can recall, Mr. Russell only has sons, no daughters!”
At his remarks, the expressions on Cory Hughes and Sebastian Legend’s faces turned totally stiff. Cory Hughes merely glared at him fiercely, but Sebastiane looked as if she was ready to blow.
But Steve had no intentions of letting them go; he continued in his innocent act, “I’m so sorry, it looks like I remembered it wrong. Apparently Miss Zora is actually Mr. Frederick Russell’s daughter! To be honest, I actually thought Miss Hughes was an offshoot of the Hughes family! It’s understandable now why she had the misunderstanding.”
“Since Miss Hughes is Mr. Frederick Russell’s younger sister, that’s my bad. I’ll send an apology gift later. I hope Miss Hughes doesn’t mind that!”
Listening to Steve Price’s words, Sebastiane was so infuriated that she was almost grinding her teeth. Clearly, this man did it on purpose!
At this point, Jonas Hughes spoke up, his face ashen, “Mr. Price, you are right that Zora is indeed my father’s granddaughter, but she is not Frederick’s daughter, she is my daughter!”
At his words, Steve looked surprised and asked, “And you are?”
Just as Jonas was about to retort, Steve pre-emptively asked, “I distinctly remember Sir Hughes only has a son, Frederick! Who are you? Look, a meal can be taken anywhere, but you can’t just claim anyone to be your father!”
Xaviera Evans couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Steve Price knew that Jonas was an illegitimate child, yet he was pretending to be clueless and intentionally embarrassing the Hughes family. As soon as he said this, the faces of the Hughes family looked like they had swallowed a fly. Sebastiane hated it the most when someone mentioned that Jonas was an illegitimate child. Now, outsiders only knew about the three children of Letitia Russell, they had no idea that she even had another child. Clearly, they didn’t consider her.
“Well, Mr. Price.” Jerome Russell slowly interrupted, “You may not know, but Jonas is also my grandfather’s son.”
Jerome had never called Cory Hughes ‘grandpa’. But to join in with Steve, he made the rare address.
Then he jokingly said, “Even though Jonas is just an illegitimate child, he is still the son of my grandfather.”
He deliberately emphasized the words ‘illegitimate child’, his words felt like a slap in the face to the Hughes family.
Steve Price nodded thoughtfully, and exclaimed aloud, “Ah, so it’s an illegitimate child! As an illegitimate child, you should keep a low profile. The issue at hand was Mark Hughes’ fault. Sir Hughes only has two grandsons, Julian and Jerome, and you’re just the daughter of an illegitimate child. In the past, you and your father had no right to be documented in the family genealogy, so why are you trying to cozy up to the two legitimate heirs? How could Mr. Swantz possibly cook for you?”
