Even Fabian Holmes himself could hardly accept it, so how could Theodore Holmes possibly accept it? He immediately raised doubts, pointing out the loopholes in the story. "Since you are not familiar with those two people, how would you know they died a natural death?"
"Dad! Could you please not lie to me like you did when I was a kid? I’m an adult now, and I can tell the difference between good and bad news." He said a lot of things in succession, and towards the end, his emotions became agitated.
He suddenly turned sideways and sat down, facing the other two people head-on.
"From childhood to now, we have always told you the truth and never lied to you." The truth is too hurtful, and there’s no way Fabian Holmes could tell the truth. Since he had already started lying in childhood, he would continue to lie to him for a lifetime, choosing deception over hurting him.
Theodore Holmes did not express any opinion or viewpoint regarding Fabian Holmes’ remarks. His gaze shifted from Fabian to Amelia Linton. "Mom! Are all the things Dad said true? You all have never lied to me."
His eyes were fixed on her, leaving her no chance to evade.
"Your dad..."
Amelia instinctively looked towards Fabian Holmes, who at this moment was also turning his head to look at her. Their eyes met unexpectedly.
In his gaze, there was something only she could understand. They looked at each other for a while, and only after that did she slowly shift her gaze back to Theodore Holmes.
"What your dad said is true."
Amelia Linton really wanted to finally reveal the truth that had been held back for many years, but Fabian Holmes had just threatened her. If she dared to reveal the truth without any regard, their relationship would be finished.
She couldn’t accept such an outcome from her heart. Retrieving him from that cheap woman was not for him to run away again.
Upon hearing this, Fabian Holmes clearly breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting beside him, Theodore Holmes felt it keenly, but he didn’t say anything.
Theodore Holmes did not even glance at Fabian Holmes. His gaze remained fixed on Amelia Linton, and what he said next almost made her faint with anger, "Mom! Can you swear an oath? That if you all lied to me, my brother would die a terrible death."
When he said this, he didn’t even blink, still intently watching her sitting not far away.
"You..."
Amelia Linton was so angry that she didn’t know what to say. She raised her hand and pointed at Theodore Holmes, but after saying "you," she couldn’t manage another word.
Theodore Holmes chose to ignore Amelia Linton’s fury, once again urging her to swear an oath, forcing her to swear on her own son’s life, "I don’t want to be lied to anymore. Since you claim everything you said is the truth, then there’s no need to be afraid of swearing on my brother’s life."
"Dad! Am I right?"
This time, Theodore Holmes was not only pushing Amelia to swear but also didn’t spare Fabian Holmes sitting beside him. His words applied to both of them.
"Fabian Holmes! This mess is all your doing." It was then that Amelia Linton found her voice and thoughts, though now she was even angrier with Theodore Holmes. "I can’t control what you do, but don’t involve my son. If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive you."
After speaking, she suddenly stood up, gave both father and son a glare, and left the living room, leaving the father and son to resolve the problem themselves.
