Chapter 1534 My Father Is Not Like That
As he watched his father silently thinking hard, Juan made some suggestions. “Daddy, try to think of some places, like hotels, motels, private dining rooms, and so on…”
Evan lifted his gaze to Juan. “These places that you mentioned are quite the special locations, aren’t they?”
Special locations…
Well, special relationships usually take place at special locations like these.
With some effort, Juan put on a smile. “Daddy, can you recall anything at all? Do tell us even if they’re just some fragments of scenes or images…”
Evan shook his head.
“No. She seems familiar, but I don’t have a lasting impression of her! Who on earth is she?”
Juan was about to casually cook up a name when Kyle took a step forward and looked at Evan solemnly. “Daddy, this is Ruby, Sally’s mother and Steven’s wife.”
Steven’s wife?
Suddenly, Evan remembered something.
He had indeed seen her before at a commercial auction. At that time, she was by Steven’s side. Due to her exceptional beauty, she attracted the attention of the crowd. Steven was very proud of this, and so, he would introduce the trophy on his arm from time to time.
Evan had noticed her, not for her beauty, but rather because she and Steven were the center of attention at that auction.
It was obvious that Steven was besotted with her.
Each time he made a bid, he first discussed it with her. The woman was observant and gave excellent advice. She kept Steven’s impulsiveness under control, and as a helpmate, she was more than adequate.
Later, the Maupay family gradually gained recognition, and pictures of her together with Steven were constantly in the popular searches on the internet.
These were the only reasons why Evan thought she looked familiar.
However, he was totally in the dark about how the rumors concerning his affair with her came about.
As a matter of fact, he had never even spoken to her before.
“How did you two get her photo? Is there any reason why you want me to look at her picture?”
“Yes, Daddy, we have a reason. Years ago, there were rumors about you having an affair with her. You must have been aware of that?”
Juan was taken by surprise when Kyle said this. Is Kyle going to discuss this openly with Daddy? Isn’t he afraid of offending Daddy?
Evan’s countenance sank. Back then, there were indeed rumors that he had oppressed the Maupay family and even fancied Steven’s wife.
Nevertheless, he had not been bothered by those ridiculous rumors. During that time, he had been fully occupied taking care of the Seet family business and had no time for that type of nonsense.
“Those were just rumors that need not be taken seriously.”
“Daddy, were those truly just rumors?” Kyle continued his questioning.
Evan looked at him coldly. “Kyle, what is it you’re trying to say?
Recalling Sally’s confident words, Kyle queried his father persistently because he, too, wanted to know the truth.
“Daddy, did you ever lose your self-control after being intoxicated and inadvertently defiled someone else’s wife?”
At these words, Juan glanced at Kyle and then at Evan. He could feel the tension of the atmosphere in the room.
Daddy’s expression shows he’s furious. Kyle, why did you have to ask in such a straightforward manner? Couldn’t you have been more subtle about it?
“Daddy, Kyle was upset on your behalf when he heard this because we know that you wouldn’t do such a thing. We trust you.”
Evan did not seem to hear Juan’s words. He gazed at Kyle with eyes that seemed full of suppressed emotions as he replied with his own question.
“Kyle, do you think your daddy is capable of such a despicable act? You grew up with me. Do you think I would do such a thing?”
Kyle felt that his father would never do that.
He had always believed that Evan was not that type of man.
Yet, Sally’s mother, the victim, had pointed him out herself.
“Daddy, I know that you love only Mom. When I was a kid, so many women tried to get your attention, but you never gave them a chance. There were even rumors that you weren’t attracted to other women. I can never believe that you would defile someone else’s wife.”
