Chapter 26 The Two Fathers
1/6
Back in their teenage years, Alistair and Richard had clashed over their incompatible worldviews, and an unexpected incident had turned them into adversaries. Later, for two million dollars, Alistair had no choice but to bow his head in front of Rebecca. Every time Richard returned to the country, Rebecca would usually shoo Alistair away like a stray dog.
Even sitting alone in a park on a freezing, wind-swept night had been a rare moment of peace for him.
But on a few occasions, Rebecca had been unusually kind and let him stay.
The three of them-Richard, Rebecca, and Daniel-would laugh and chat happily around the dining table, while Alistair silently bustled between the kitchen and dining room, ensuring their happiness ran smoothly.
Unlike Rebecca's domineering attitude and Daniel's loud, disrespectful demands, Richard was always polite to Alistair, even occasionally inviting him to sit and eat with them.
But Alistair could hear the undisguised mockery and disdain in Richard's tone. Now, meeting again, Richard still treated Alistair like the same pathetic loser he could ridicule at will. But Alistair was no longer the same man.

He met Richard's gaze squarely. "If you've got time to wonder why I'm here, maybe you should focus on keeping your wife in check. Do you even know she's been harassing me repeatedly? If you knew and still let her bother me, then I can only admire. your generosity. Not only were you fine with letting your woman marry me, but you even let your son call me 'Dad.""
Seeing Richard's expression darken, Alistair added calmly, "If it were me, I couldn't stomach it."
Richard snorted, "Alistair, are you delusional? Would Rebecca chase after you? I should be thanking the heavens if you aren't clinging to her. Life must be tough without the Whitfields' support, huh?"
His eyes lingered on Alistair's custom-tailored suit, and his jaw tightened.
Why would Rebecca buy him such expensive clothes? He doesn't deserve them.
He looks well-must've gotten a hefty settlement from Rebecca.
Richard's mood soured further.
Even if you cover mud in gold, it's still mud.
"You have no degree, no relevant work experience-your only skill is serving others. The money Rebecca gave you won't last forever. But I'm a man of principle. I could offer you a job, one that perfectly suits your... expertise. How about it?"
