232 Why Can’t I Suspect You

Peter froze as he heard Wayne questioning him and clenched the book he was holding.

Wayne then firmly said out loud, “Richard wouldn’t have done those evil things if you hadn’t put too much faith in him three years ago. That way, he wouldn’t have harmed Matthew either. When it first happened, you didn’t want to penalize Richard because he was

a part of our family. Well, I did nothing at the moment because it had already happened. I didn’t expect you’d let him run for president once more!”

After he was done, he looked disappointed in Peter.

Peter was a tough person who had a strong sense of right and wrong. Since Richard was a member of their family, Peter didn’t think he should be held accountable for that incident. However, Wayne thought that was improper.

Wayne had looked into who had harmed Matthew three years ago. In fact, he had almost known the truth. If Peter hadn’t stopped him from pursuing the probe back then, he would have sent Richard to prison.

“But Wayne, you didn’t have concrete evidence before. So, it wasn’t necessarily Richard who did that.” Peter stated while frowning and making an effort to control his anger.

“Huh? What do you mean by that? Honestly, I have the proof and have already shown it to you. You were the one who told me not to look any further and that you already knew the truth and who did it. So, why on earth did you say something like that in the first place! Don’t you remember that you said that belore? Is it because you’re too old?” Wayne

said. ”

With a heavy “bang”, Peter slammed the book in his hand on the table. He replied angrily, “Yes, it’s true that I’m old. But, it’s not like that I’m confused! Wayne, do you really want me to spill the beans? I am fully aware of who injured Matthew.”

Peter’s voice sounded husky, but it was very firm and powerful. Wayne frowned and asked, “What? What do you mean?”

Peter’s expression was grim, and his imposing aura seemed could take people’s breath away. He said, “You rejected me when I said I wish you could get married and start a family. And, you even let a surrogate give birth to Matthew just to annoy me. Do you actually consider yourself to be Matthew’s father? To be honest, there are many shady things about that incident. Richard wasn’t the only person who communicated with Matthew’s nanny back then.”
