Chapter 328 Eric and Kelly Arrived
He asked, “Are you afraid that your mommy and I will split up?” For a second, the other end of the phone went silent but soon, the child’s cool and arrogant voice rang again. “What is there to be afraid of? You’re not the only guy in this world.”
Eugene refuted, “But they’re not your father!” North paused again and after some time, he said huffily, “But what can I do if you’re so useless?”
Eugene chuckled. Then, his voice suddenly became croaky while emotions surged in his heart. “Don’t worry, son. I won’t let anybody snatch your mommy away and you definitely won’t have any chances of calling someone else your daddy.”
North was delighted but he pretended to be scornful when he spoke, “Well, it won’t be certain if you don’t work harder.”
Quietly, Eugene lifted his lips into a smile. “Alright, I’ll work hard. Now, turn off the surveillance camera and go to sleep. You can leave the rest to me.”
Obediently, North agreed and hung up the phone.
When Eugene was walking back to the villa after the call ended, a car drove into the front yard. Curious as to who it would be, he didn’t resume his pace and just waited there.
The car drove all the way to the door before it stopped.
When Eugene walked up to the car, he saw the car plate number and found that it was Eric Jones, Aleena’s father.
When the car door opened, a man and a woman got out of the car. The man looked like he was in his 40s or 50s, was tall and had deep-set features.
On the other hand, the woman was gentle and beautiful just like a typical noble lady. She was none other than Kelly Hills, Aleena’s mother.
Eugene stepped forward and greeted them. “ Hello, Uncle Eric and Aunt Kelly!”
“Eugene, what’s going on?!” Eric said anxiously. “Lara didn’t explain the incident clearly over the phone just now and just told me to rush over. I’m still on duty!”
An icy smile appeared on Eugene’s face. They’re really good at scheming. Now that they have fallen out with the Smiths, they are trying to establish connections with the Jones.
“I’m not sure about the ins and outs either. Uncle Eric, please come in first.”
However, Eric was still anxious. “How is Aleena?”
Eugene seemed hesitant. “The house’s internet was hacked just now and some disgraceful video of her was played. I’m still investigating it now.”
Eric, who was walking forward, stopped his pace and asked Eugene in doubt, “What disgraceful video?”
“We should speak inside,” Eugene replied.
Eric then stopped asking questions and followed Eugene into the house.
Most of the guests had already left by this time and the remaining were some close friends.
However, everyone was gathered in front of one of the rooms.
Right at that moment, Lara threw a slap across Ben’s face. “What were you thinking? How could you do that to Aleena?”
Clutching his face, Ben explained in grievance, “It’s not my fault, Aunt Lara. It was Aleena who begged me. She said that she couldn’t take it anymore so—”
“How are you going to explain it to Uncle Eric later?”
In the midst of scolding Ben, Lara glanced at the door and pretended to just have noticed Eric and Kelly.
“Eric, Kelly, you’re finally here.” While saying, she walked up to them.
Edward walked over to them too and both parties greeted each other.
After that, Eric and Kelly exchanged a look and asked, “I didn’t get what you said on the phone just now. What happened to Aleena?”
Lara sighed helplessly. “I don’t even know where to start. Even I wish to kill my nephew. I’ll pass him to you and you can do whatever you want to him.”
After that, she dragged Ben to them. “Tell them yourself!”
Looking at Eric and Kelly, Ben kneeled down with a thump. “Uncle Eric, Aunt Kelly, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to take advantage of Aleena!”
Upon hearing that, Eric and Kelly’s expressions changed drastically. “What?! You took advantage of Aleena? Where is she now?”
