Chapter 409: Suspecting their father
"What do you think?" Rex inquired and Brian paid rapt attention to what she had to say.
"Are your parents the only ones who have children and enemies? You don’t understand, do you?" seeing them nod, she continued, "apparently, this city is under the control of your parents, the satellite and communication network is in their control too. So tell me, what are they scared of that they’d hide your face from the public for so long? unless..."
She raised a taunting brow, then continued when she saw her analysis was sinking in. "...they see you as a disposable thing. After they are done grabbing the power they are both fighting for, they’ll toss you away. After all, nobody knows you to be their son. They can as well tell the public you died abroad."
Brian frowned, "I would agree if you are only referring to my foster mother. My Dad is different from her..."
"I’m sorry, he’s not!" Jeslyn said curtly. She and Brian started an intense stare-down. The guy disliked that and Jeslyn wasn’t apologetic for speaking ill of their father.
Seeing this, Rex got in between them, "You two, kill it off! We don’t have time for this right now!" he glanced at Jeslyn and asked softly after clearing his throat, "Are you sure about that?"
"I won’t accuse him wrongly," she added.
"I understand that you are angry because of everything that has been happening, but I won’t sit here and allow you devalue my father... our father."
Jeslyn chuckled, "He’ll have to prove me wrong first before you give him that title."
