The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 458

Chapter 458 Benedict At Indigo Lab

"It was Benedict's idea to tag along, not mine," Saxon blurted instinctively, eager to clear himself of any blame.

But mid-sentence, he froze—something about Raven's expression made his gut twist. "Wait, what did you just say? He's my illegitimate son?!"

"You're still trying to deny it?" Raven looked like she was one second away from punching him. "No wonder he looked so familiar the first time I saw him! I thought maybe it was fate or something-turns he's your flesh and blood, My own nephew!"

"Raven, you've got one hell of an imagination," Saxon muttered, dragging a hand over his face. He was exhausted-and completely at a loss.

If he denied it, Raven would definitely keep pressing about why Benedict stuck so close to him, what their relationship really was. But if he admitted it outright? He'd get pummeled for sure.

And dammit, he wasn't about to take the fall for something like this.

"You're still trying to wriggle out of it?" Raven stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar. "Spit it out. Where's Benedict's mother? Don't tell me you dumped her for someone else."

"I would never," Saxon practically wailed.

And now, not only single, but accused by his own sister of being a heartless womanizer?
