He spoke with heartache, "From childhood until now, I have always had a good relationship with my brother. I never competed or fought for anything my brother had. Jimmy and Adrian were the same—Jimmy never fought for anything for himself. Every arrangement was made according to your wishes, Dad!"
"But this time, it’s different! This time it concerns two lives! One of them is your own great-grandchild! In a few months, the flesh and blood of the Walyon Family could be born, and now suddenly it’s gone. Do you know how much pain and suffering I feel inside? This time, I can’t just let it go!"
"Although you, Dad, have always advocated for family harmony, I also know you actually like Summer as this granddaughter-in-law. However, concerning these two lives, I don’t want you, Dad, to let this matter go just because of personal feelings or favoritism towards Adrian."
"Adrian’s wife is a life, so is Jimmy’s wife and child not? Gina hasn’t even woken up yet, and we don’t know if she’ll pull through. Regarding this accident, Summer must take responsibility!"
His attitude was determined, especially when he mentioned favoritism.
Ryan and Adrian Walyon were only a few days apart in age and grew up together. Although, in the usual attitude of Old Master, there was no apparent difference between the two brothers. Everyone in the Walyon Family knew that Jimmy was the Old Master’s favorite.
But Bryce Walyon knew that, in reality, the balance in Old Master’s heart was always tilted.
Just speaking of the inheritance, Adrian is still so young, and Old Master’s health has always been good, yet he designated Adrian as the sole heir early on. For origınal chapters go to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
This favoritism is not only evident but also severe!
The Walyon Family’s Old Master closed his eyes heavily, remaining silent for a while before calling a servant and having them summon Summer Sutton to the room.
Summer Sutton entered the room, glanced at Bryce Walyon, and felt a sinking feeling.
She greeted the two of them according to etiquette.
The Walyon Family’s Old Master seemed particularly distressed, his expression very tense.
"Summer, I’ll ask you again, why did you push her?"
"Grandpa, I’ve said it wasn’t me! She herself fell! The child wasn’t Jimmy’s!" Summer lifted her face, still sticking to her story.
Bryce Walyon became angry upon hearing her words.
"You said that in the hospital with so many people present in the room, and nobody believed you. Now you have the nerve to say it again! A child not yet born, only three months old, without any identification made—how can you say the child wasn’t Jimmy’s? Are you guessing or relying on your assumptions?"
Summer Sutton was dumbfounded by his questioning.
She indeed had relied solely on speculation to assert that the child in Gina’s womb was not Ryan’s.
When it came to evidence, she had none.
Gina is already undergoing the uterine evacuation now, making a paternity test impossible.
After her words, Bryce Walyon’s glare became more piercing, as if he wished to tear her apart.
"I’ll ask you again, if the child wasn’t Jimmy’s, who do you think the father was? Since you know the child didn’t belong to the Walyon Family, you should also know this, right?"
Summer Sutton again found herself unable to answer.
She was unaware of the identity of the man Gina had been speaking to late at night in recent days.
Before she could investigate, last night’s incident had already occurred.
When all is said and done, whatever she says now, no one will believe her.
Without evidence, all her statements become excuses to be convicted.
