Chapter 57 The Scandal
Hearing it, James raised his head and looked at Christian with stern eyes.
"What did you say?"
Lamia was also stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
"Christian, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Christian knew that the secret could not be kept anymore. A paternity test might not be important, but it
would make James suspicious.
Therefore, it would be a matter of time to find out the truth.
Christian looked up and said, "Dad, you haven't forgotten you still have another son, right? Charlie is
Donny's only child in this world."
This was why Christian wanted Charlie to return to the Patterson family.
James was startled, and his expression became solemn.
While hearing Donny's name, Lamia went up to beat Christian crazily.
"You bastard. Why did you bring back his child? He was given birth by that woman after divorcing
James. He is not James' son at all!
"Are you crazy? It has nothing to do with us whether he dies or not. How could you raise a child for
him? That's unbelievable!"
Lamia gritted her teeth angrily and couldn't calm down even when facing Christian.
Back then, James had an affair with Lamia before divorcing Lyra.
At that time, Lamia was a month pregnant, and Lyra resolutely divorced.
She went abroad after the divorce, but her friend caught her on the streets abroad with a big belly, and
she was four months pregnant, which was even earlier than Beatrice.
After James found out, he went abroad to find Lyra, but she refused to reconcile with him.
James was regretful and knew it was too late.
He came back, married Lamia, and gave birth to Christian, and his life slowly got back on track.
For Lamia, the existence of Donny and Lyra was a thorn in her heart.
It also witnessed her disgraceful past.
Over the years, she tried her best to cover up the past and make everyone know about her.
This matter had haunted Lamia for several years.
But now, Christian brought Lyra's grandson back. Lamia was about to lose her mind with anger.
Christian finally reached out to grab her hand when her scolding was about to attract people outside.
"Mom, that's enough. Do you want everyone to hear about our family's scandal?"
His words made Lamia become quiet in an instant. Her lips were trembling, and she felt a lump in her
throat.
It was really a scandal like Christian said.
As soon as Charlie's identity was exposed, everyone would know about it, and they would also find
Lamia was actually a mistress at first.
She looked at James in panic. James looked solemn. He was shrouded by gloom and didn't show any
emotions.
He raised his head and looked at Christian with cloudy eyes.
"Is he dead?"
Christian clenched his hands tightly and nodded with grief.
He met Donny when he was studying abroad.
At that time, under the strict education of the Patterson family, Christian was reserved and didn't talk
too much.
Donny was cheerful and lively. As they looked like each other, Donny felt it amazing and took the
initiative to get close to Christian.
And they became very good friends after that.
One day, Christian went to visit Donny's house and saw Lyra's photo. James also had the same photo
in his study, so Christian suddenly knew Donny's identity.
After knowing about it, Christian had mixed feelings and also felt guilty.
Donny only had one child in the world. How could Christian still remain indifferent?
James let out a sigh, trying to conceal the emotions in his heart.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
He stood up and looked down at Charlie, who was standing timidly beside Beatrice with ineffable
emotion.
"The guests are still waiting outside. Let's go out!"
His words made Beatrice see hope again.
But Lamia's face darkened, and she suddenly raised her head.
"I don't agree!"
