Chapter 591\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next second, a slap cracked across Raymond\u2019s face. The sharp sound echoed through the room, and red marks bloomed at once on his clean-cut cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond frowned faintly. He licked the blood at the corner of his mouth and raised his eyes to the middle-aged man before him. He looked at him not as a father, but as a stranger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana froze for a moment, then seized Raymond\u2019s arm. When she saw the injury on his face, something shifted in her usually cold eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned sharply toward Theodore and said firmly, \u201cGrandfather never laid a single finger on Ray.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Growing up, none of them had escaped Albus\u2019s punishments. Yet no matter how often the old man complained that Raymond was unruly, Raymond remained, aside from Vivian, the one he favored most.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen did you learn to use the old man to pressure me?\u201d Theodore snapped. \u201cDid you not hear the vile things coming out of his mouth? Is that how he should speak to his own sister?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had assumed the siblings were merely making trouble over Megan\u2019s tampering with the paternity test.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSister?\u201d Raymond curled his lips into a cold, humorless smile. \u201cIf remember correctly, my mother gave birth to only one younger sister I recognize. Vee.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He tipped his head, openly dismissive. \u201cWhat kind of sister is Megan supposed to be? Your illegitimate daughter? We do not acknowledge that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat nonsense are you spouting?!\u201d Theodore roared, his hand lifting again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTheodore, touch Ray again and I will divorce you.\u201d Florence\u2019s voice rang out from the doorway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James stood behind her, his hands on the wheelchair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her gaze fixed on the injury on her youngest son\u2019s face, and a chill swept through her. \u201cIn your eyes, my children were never important anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Vivian had been taken away at the age of two due to Megan\u2019s actions, Theodore had made a great show of anger, then let the matter drop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Florence\u2019s resolve and indifference were unmistakable. Theodore poked at her, then at his three children, and realized they all wore the same expression. All except Megan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only then did he truly notice how badly swollen Raymond\u2019s face had become.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For once, unease crept into his expression. \u201cFlorence, you know I did not mean it that way. Meg has always been alone and helpless. Hearing what Ray said, I acted in the heat of the moment\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat recording,\u201d Diana cut in. \u201cDid you finish listening to it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At her words, disbelief flickered across Theodore\u2019s face. The recording clearly described how Megan had switched the test samples.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He did not answer Diana. Instead, he turned to Megan. \u201cTell me the truth. Did you tamper with the paternity test samples?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Megan stiffened. This had been traced back to her, and they clearly had proof.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a brief hesitation, her eyes reddened. She looked at Theodore her voice trembling. \u201cDad, I\u2019m sorry. I knew you and Mom were desperate to find Vee. I lost my head for a moment and thought letting Penelope stand in temporarily might ease Mom\u2019s longing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her talent for twisting facts came as no surprise to the Hutton siblings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James spoke next, calm and direct. \u201cThen where did you get the corect sample? If you already knew who Vee was, why did you not bring her back? Why go to the trouble of using a substitute?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was because\u2026\u201d Unaware that they had already identified Veel Megan continued with feigned sincerity. \u201cI had not found her yet. The test looked correct because I treated the hair roots with a solution. That solution can make the results basically\u00a0<\/p>\n
match.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond laughed. \u201cSince when does such a solution exist? I should call my former brother-in-law and ask whether he has ever heard of this miracle liquid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough.\u201d Theodore spoke before Megan could respond, his tone heavy. \u201cNo irreparable harm was done. Just kick Penelope out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Florence felt her heart turn cold. \u201cJust that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFlorence.\u201d Theodore softened his voice as he faced her. \u201cChildren make mistakes. Sometimes, you turn a blind eye and move on. As for Vee, I will arrange for people to continue searching for her by every means possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
