Chapter 362

"No way."

Sandy shook her head without a second thought.

Wesley was the one who reacted the most, his emotions getting the better of him. "How can that be?!" he exclaimed, his voice booming.

His outburst startled Sandy, and she nestled deeper into Charles's arms, seeking comfort.

Wesley, realizing he needed to dial it back, softened his tone. "Sandy, are you scared of your mom? Is that why you won't tell the truth?"

"Don't worry, I'm your real dad. I promise I'll protect you. Your mom won't get another chance to hurt you. Just be brave and tell the truth..."

He couldn't wrap his head around why she would deny the abuse unless she was genuinely terrified.

Sandy, hearing Wesley's words, clung even tighter to Charles, shaking her head like a little wind-up toy. "I'm telling the truth. Mom has always loved me, always cared for me. She never hit me."

Suddenly, her bravado broke, and she burst into tears.

"You're lying. You're not my dad. I already have a dad."

Rejecting Wesley, she wrapped her tiny arms around Charles's waist, crying out in fear, "Daddy-"

Charles's face turned ice-cold. He hadn't stopped Wesley in time from revealing his identity.

In one swift motion, he shielded Sandy, making sure she didn't see any of the chaos unfold.

With determination, he kicked Wesley away, signaling the bodyguards to keep him quiet, stopping any more nonsense from spilling out.

"Daddy, I'm your daughter, right?"

"Yes, Sandy, you're my daughter."

Charles didn't hesitate, holding Sandy close to reassure her.

Dahlia had never wanted Sandy to know the dark truth of her birth, fearing it would leave scars.

And Charles, planning to marry Dahlia, had stepped up as Sandy's dad.
