Chapter ooz Let me Take you There

Jonathan’s face darkened. How on earth did this guy get ahold of the invitation I had sent?

He had the audacity to take advantage of him and now, he had no choice but to play along with

him.

“Daddy, you’re right about everything,” he said.

At that moment, the three of them stood together, looking like a picture–perfect family.

Ernest watched the beautiful scene unfold before him. The sight was so touching that it almost brought tears to his eyes.

Outwardly, he remained composed. “Apologies, Mr. Sinclair, for the poor hospitality.”

Upon hearing those words, Zachary turned to him and narrowed his eyes. His gaze was as hard as steel and as cold as ice.

He spoke slowly, “It’s not just about the poor hospitality. You’ve also insulted my wife and son. How are we going to settle this? You’re a lawyer, right? Do you have the confidence to win your own lawsuit?”

For the Sinclair family, snuffing out Ernest’s life would be inconsequential.

Ernest knew where he stood. “I’m sorry. I owe you all an apology here.”

Zachary refused to accept his apology. Instead, he turned to Vivian, Jonathan, and Cecilia and said, “Let’s head back. There’s no need for us to attend this wedding.”

The crowd watched as they departed.

Ernest’s handsome features were tense.

After that, Zachary’s wealthy acquaintances did not dare to be present at the wedding. They found excuses to leave.

Greta stopped them at the door and asked, “You haven’t even eaten yet! Why are you leaving so soon?”

One of them grumbled, “You’ve offended the Sinclair family. Who would dare to dine at your banquet now?”

Greta understood now that she had deeply offended someone that she should not have.

On their way from the hotel, Zachary and Vivian exchanged quiet words as they walked.

“You claimed that Jon isn’t my son. Tell me, did you tamper with the paternity test when I

got

it

done?”

Zachary recalled that, during the time when the paternity test was being conducted, Vivian had

came to see Jonathan. He could not guarantee that the procedure had gone smoothly.

That boy is so clever. What if he had switched the hair used for the test?

Just a moment ago, Vivian had been feeling incredibly grateful to Zachary for helping her out of a tight spot, but now, she felt like she needed to chew him out.

“I already told you that I did no such thing.” she insisted.

“Is he really Ernest’s son then?” Zachary did not think they resembled each other at all.

Ernest had fine, delicate features, while Jonathan had a sharp and angular face. As he grew up, he would definitely begin to exude a masculine aura that could not be further from Ernest’s pretty boy looks.

After what happened at the wedding. Vivian simply did not want to keep deceiving herself and others anymore.

“Of course not.”

“So, you’re still being stubborn then?” A smirk played at the corners of Zachary’s mouth.

Vivian kept her lips pressed tightly together.

Following closely behind the two of them, Cecilia was feeling utterly bewildered. She was still unable to process the events that had happened earlier.

When did Zachary become such a nice guy? He’s even helped Vivian out of a tight spot back there!

She was completely oblivious to Jonathan who was walking beside her and glaring at Zachary with a silent resentment.

It’s just unbelievable! Why was Zachary the one who showed up?

Finally, they made it outside to where an extra–long Lincoln was parked, flanked by two black cars bearing bodyguards on either side.

After reading the note from Jonathan, Zachary understood that his role for the day was to play the supportive part.

Although he was known for his arrogant nature, it was rare for him to behave as ostentatiously as he did that day. Every inch of him had reeked money, power, and control.

“Get in the car,” Zachary said to Vivian.

Then, he turned back to Cecilia, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“Where are you going? Let me take you there.” He felt a deep sense of guilt toward Cecilia. He avoided her eyes.

Cecilia knew that he was trying to engage her in a conversation, but she dismissed him coldly

Zachary choked on his reply.

He wanted to say something more, but Vivian had already taken Jonathan’s hand.

“We’ll leave together. There’s no need to trouble you. Goodbye.”
