Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 683

Rufus’ POV:

Edwin picked up the report and read it quietly. Then he smiled and said, “So you know I faked the report.”

I raised my eyebrows and remained silent. I wanted to hear what he had to say for himself.

The truth was, when Sylvia had broken the news to me that Edwin was her father, I was dubious.

He had been a morally upright man all his life. Since he was young, he always strictly adhered to his principles in all his dealings. And he always proclaimed that a man’s actions should be appropriate for his age.

He didn’t seem like a man who would abandon a daughter of his.

Edwin exhaled f0rcefully and finally admitted frankly, “Yes, I was the one who hired someone to meddle with the paternity test report. I fudged the results.”

“So, you had already figured Sylvia’s intentions out. When you parted, you purposely let Sylvia obtain your b***d for the test. You also secretly changed the b***d sample and faked the test result.”

Pursing his lips, he nodded reluctantly. “You’re correct. I knew Sylvia’s intentions long ago. From the way she watched me and talked to me, I guessed that she had doubts I was her father.”

I scoffed. Every man who worked for the cunning fox Leonard was shrewd. “You almost fooled Sylvia and me.”

Edwin’s lips curled up into a bitter smile as he said, “But you still got to the bottom of it, didn’t you? Maybe it’s destiny.”

“So, you are not Sylvia’s biological father, but you have access to his b***d. I guess that means you know who her real father is. Maybe you two are even close.” I stud*ied him calmly.

He didn’t utter a word. His shoulders sagged in frustration.

“Edwin, I’m not here to blame you. I just want to replace out who Sylvia’s biological father is. I don’t think the reason for all your subterfuge is that simple. What are you trying to hide here?” I continued, placing the glassI held on a table.

“I… I did this for your own good…” Edwin colored with embarrassment, his eyebrows furrowing deeply.

“I don’t care what complications you are facing. Think carefully about how you want to answer my question.” I felt a little stifled, so I loosened my tie. Then I stood up and opened a window to let in some fresh air.

With a long sigh, Edwin drummed his fingers on his glass, visibly hesitating. “Prince Rufus, I was hoping you wouldn’t discover this information.”

I looked at him quietly and said in a composed tone, “If you don’t want me to know, you need to give me a good reason.”

Edwin remained silent for a long moment. Then he swiped his hand over his face, extracted a cigarette from the cigarette box, and lit it. “Sylvia has been fatherless since childhood. Maintaining this status quo is beneficial for everyone.” 

Bang! I kicked the chair beside me, sending it crashing into a wall.

Edwin’s words made me lose my temper completely. I grabbed him by his collar and said in a tight voice, “How can you say that? You have no idea about the kind of life Sylvia has had to lead in the past, nor do you know how eagerly she wants to meet her father. Who are you to make such decisions for her?”

Edwin stumbled. The cigarette he just lit slipped from between his lips and singed the back of my hand.

I snorted, picked up the cigarette, and stuffed it back between his lips. “I don’t care if you don’t tell me. I have plenty of ways to reach the truth. I can even talk to Leonard about it. Perhaps I can ask him for help. After all, from what I know, Sylvia’s biological father belongs to your pack, and he is of high status.”

To my surprise, Edwin’s expression changed dramatically. He grasped my hand tightly and pleaded, “You can’t tell Leonard about this. If you do, it will not end well. No one will be happy.”

I scowled, sensing that something was wrong. “Why?”

Edwin stuttered, his face looking pale and drawn. He didn’t know how to answer me.

My heart sank. As my mind flashed back to everything that had taken place before, all the dots were now connected in my head. An incredible thought entered my mind.

“Is Leonard Sylvia’s biological father?”
