Mandy was standing at the door of the Willow Family Courtyard in white clothes and a black skirt, her ruffled skirt swaying slightly in the autumn wind, holding an apricot-colored portfolio in her hand.
Seeing Ashburn walking out of the door, she smiled sweetly.
"Miss Summer, I'm troubling you this time."
"No problem, just think of it as my repayment for your bravery last time." Mandy pushed the portfolio before him, "Here, this is what you want."
"Okay, see you later."
Mandy nodded slightly and got into the waiting taxi.
Ashburn put his hands behind his back and stepped into the gate of Willow’s courtyard again.
Lucas was trying his utmost to taunt Ashburn in front of Gina. When he glanced at the door, he saw Ashburn coming back.
"Hey, I thought you felt embarrassed and escaped. I didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned, and would come back again."
"I'm going to fetch a parcel. Today is your special day, and I always feel embarrassed to come empty-handed. I have to give you a gift anyway."
Lucas was stunned and said with a smile, "Ashburn, you suddenly became so nice, I'm not used to it!"
Hebe frowned and cursed in a low voice, "What a shame, is he planning to flatter them? Live on us without gratitude, and he even forgets he is the live-in son-in-law of our family!" She and Hyman had given the congratulatory gifts a long time ago. Not to mention how frustrating it was, now he wants to give it away again. Did he have no dignity?
"Ashburn, what’s the gift? Take it out!" Lucas stared at him and said proudly, "I can fully understand and I don't expect you to prepare anything good as you are a live-in son-in-law. But it is still a small token of your appreciation, right? And I will try to be pleased, Hahaha!”
"As you said, it's just a small gift, please accept it." Ashburn handed over the portfolio.
Lucas held the portfolio with a confused look on his face and pinched it. There seemed to be something thin in it. He said teasingly, "Ashburn, don’t tell me this is your medical record! Haha! Let me see if there's a cure for this. If you are sterile, Gina will probably have to change her husband. You don’t have the heart to let my uncle’s posterity be cut off, right? Haha!”
Over at the main table, Trocy was still doing his best to flatter the old lady. Taking advantage of the joy of having a baby, now was the chance to take over the Willow company.
When the two brothers separated, Hyman took over the greenery, and Trocy managed the municipal governing. However, the municipal governing and the greenery were originally the same company. If they could be merged, the profit would be immeasurable.
Trocy mentioned it to Mrs. Willow many times, but unfortunately, according to family tradition, the eldest son always inherits the family business, so Trocy also encountered many obstacles along the way.
Fortunately, Lucas lived up to his expectations. Although he was not the eldest son, Lucas was the eldest grandson. Now that he had added a great-grandson, Mrs. Willow's balance was naturally tilted towards their family.
Coupled with the insinuations of the Dunn family's parents, Mrs. Willow seemed to be somewhat persuaded.
Suddenly, everyone raised their heads when they heard a thunderous roar.
Lucas was seen rushing towards Ashburn like crazy.
Ashburn made a clever move in Tai Chi and spun his body. When Lucas rushed towards him, Lucas seemed to be wrapped in an invisible air current. The force of his attack suddenly changed, and he crashed into Roxanne’s mother.
Roxanne’s mother was knocked down from her seat and was in a state of panic.
"Lucas, what are you doing?" Trocy glared. It doesn't matter how much nonsense Lucas did in private, but now that there were so many guests, the Willow family's reputation couldn’t be ruined. It was extremely inappropriate to do this!
Roxanne heard the noise, ran out from the back room, and hurriedly helped her mother.
"Oh sweet, why did you come out?" Mrs. Dunn said worriedly, "I’m fine, protect yourself from the cold. You are still weak during confinement in childbirth "
"What are you holding in your hand?" Trocy casually snatched what Lucas was holding.
It was a paternity test report!
Lucas had already taken out the report from the portfolio just now and took action against Ashburn in anger.
Now, his eyes were bloodshot, like a ferocious beast.
"Where did this come from?" Trocy was furious, and his body had begun to tremble.
Everyone was confused and didn't know what happened.
"You are a coward. You are sterile and cannot give birth to a son. Now you dare to slander that the child born isn’t mine. If I don’t kill you today, I will take your last name!" Lucas rushed towards Ashburn again with his fist.
Snapped!
With a slap in the face, Lucas fell back again.
Half of the cheek suddenly swelled up.
Mrs. Dunn was furious, "Are you that good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law of Hebe and Hyman? For the sake of the Willow family, I won't argue with you. But you hit Lucas, I want you to kneel and apologize! You uneducated trash!”
Ashburn smiled calmly, "What a great prestige! Your Dunn family is indeed well-educated. The daughter you raised cheated, and now you even dare to bring an illegitimate child home to raise. You all indeed have a very good education!"
"Our family is also reputable in Narada. How dare you insult the Dunn family's reputation?"
"The paternity test is right there. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself."
When Mrs. Dunn heard about the paternity test, she was shocked. She knew her daughter better than everyone, and she had heard about her daughter's usual behavior.
She was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything.
Everyone also raised their heads and focused their eyes on the main table.
Everyone loved gossip, especially such a big one.
Sabrina snatched the report from Trocy's hand and took a look at it, her face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but glance at Roxanne who looked pale.
"Rose, is this true?"
"No, it's not true..." Roxanne's voice was trembling.
"Hyman, you are too despicable. Even if you are jealous of Trocy, there is no need to forge a paternity test and make things like this. Isn't it a joke of our Willow family?"
Hebe stood up suddenly and said, "Sabrina, we don't know about this matter. It's all Ashburn's fault!"
There was a ball of anger in Hyman’s heart. Although he also wanted his brother to make a fool of himself, he couldn't act recklessly. If the fake paternity test was exposed, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
It will also leave a bad impression on Ma, thinking that as the eldest brother, he had no sense, and would never hand over the group to him in the future.
Young people were so imprudent in what they did!
"Ashburn, apologize to your uncle!" Hyman scolded.
"I helped my Trocy by catching a disloyal slut, and they didn't thank me, they want me to apologize instead?"
Ashburn smiled teasingly and walked to Roxanne, "Don't you think so, Rose?"
"You...you slandered me..." Roxanne was shocked and angry and then looked around helplessly as if she was looking for someone.
"I guess you're looking for Sidney?" Ashburn whispered in her ear.
Roxanne was shocked and looked at Ashburn in disbelief.
Ashburn stood proudly and said with a smile, "The paternity test is here. Even if you suspect it is fake, you can retest it! Rose, I even know who your adulterer is, do you think it is necessary to hide it?"
With such a commotion, even if Lucas believed Roxanne now, he would definitely become suspicious in the future. He could completely re-identify, and Roxanne still wouldn't be able to escape.
What's more, Ashburn even mentioned Sidney, apparently, he knew everything about it.
