Chapter 449 Shift The Blame

Finished

On the other side, Joanna suddenly blew up and turned to Eric. "If you don't trust me, I might as well die with the child."

Then, she prepared to jump into the pool next to her.

This was sheer madness. As though crying and causing a scene wasn't enough, she was now resorting to even more drastic measures.

Unfortunately for her, Eric could no longer be bothered. Instead, it was the guests who instinctively stepped in to intervene, fearing that Joanna might actually die.

Then, the woman stopped in her tracks and broke down. "Since you don't believe me, what use is this child to me? I-"

"Is that so? Why don't you ask the child's father?" Eric suddenly spoke up.

Before long, two bodyguards escorted a middle-aged man in from outside.

In an instant, Joanna was left dumbstruck.

"Dad! Save me!" James cried out. "Cecilia's lost her mind! She spilled everything!"

Cecilia huffed coldly. She no longer felt any affection for this man she called her father.

Perhaps initially, she was ignorant. She thought that her father's willingness to take her with him after divorcing her mother was a sign of his genuine affection for her as his daughter.

As she grew older, she gradually came to understand. Her father, a habitual gambler, hadn't taken her away for any noble reasons. He merely saw her as a valuable commodity he could use when he was out of money. He couldn't bear to part with his precious son, but selling his daughter didn't seem to be a problem for him.

It just so happened that he later reconnected with an old flame, causing Cecilia's purpose to change.

The man was visibly flustered, his gaze darting between his daughter and detained son. Finally, his eyes landed on a manic-looking Joanna, and his legs began to tremble.

He was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. Someone had forcibly broken into his house and dragged him out, yet he still didn't dare to confront the so-called wealthy family head-on Not to mention, he had slept with Eric's wife and was even planning to make Eric father his son.

Before Joanna could utter another word, the man turned his gaze toward Eric, who was slowly approaching him. Seeing the latter's menacing aura, the unnamed became terrified.
