Chapter 75 Checking Hansel’s Identity

At the Pattinson family’s home.

Since Kathleen Turner’s scandal, the Pattinson family had been cool and calm.

In regards to the scandal, they were at their wit’s end too.

Kathleen Turner’s scandal was a disgrace. Nonetheless, both Mark Pattinson and Eileen Dawson only had eyes on the Turner family’s power, not Kathleen Turner.

The happening of the incident would pass sooner or later. The Turner family would bounce back someday. As such, the Pattinson family could not comment much pertaining to the scandal as they were stuck in between. The better solution would be sitting on the fence and remaining silent.

Despite being disturbed by the reporters, the Pattinson family chased them off.

They should remain silent all the more at that very moment.

The one who experienced the most suspense and worry throughout the incident was none other than Eileen Dawson.

The incident of Kathleen Turner’s pregnancy with Mark Pattinson’s child had frustrated her for some time. However, the latest news had depicted otherwise, with rumors spreading the fact that Kathleen Turner’s child might not be Mark Pattinson’s… What should she do now?”

If the child was not Mark Pattinson’s, she would be much more relieved. On the other hand, what if the child was his?

Despite Kathleen Turner’s scandal, Mark Pattinson still wanted to marry her. Once the child was born, would Logan Pattinson be set aside?

It was Friday, Mark Pattinson returned home. During meals, Justin Pattinson looked very solemn.

Eventually, he could not hold himself anymore. “Regarding Kathleen’s scandal, is that true?” he asked.

Mark Pattinson was eating. How could he not be able to discern if the scandal was genuine or fake? Justin Pattinson had built up his empire from scratch and experienced various adversity, as well as hardships, thus, how could someone like him be deceived by the incident unveiled before him.

Obviously, he was playing dumb.

“Yes!” Mark Pattinson answered honestly, not because he feared him, but because he was not bothered about explaining it further.

Justin Pattinson’s expression changed slightly. “What do you plan to do then?”

As Mark Pattinson was eating, he paused. A cold smile arched across his lips. It must be Aron Turner who had called him, otherwise, he would not ask him this question.

“What do you think, Father?” Mark Pattinson asked. He threw the question back to him. He wanted to know how Justin Pattinson would reply to him.

Justin Pattinson frowned and he thought for a moment. “Regardless of whether the scandal is genuine or fake, since Kathleen is pregnant with your child… the Pattinson family’s child, we can’t just leave her like this…”

Hehe!

Mark Pattinson smirked to himself.

He could more or less understand his underlying meaning.

“Father, what do you think I should do?” Mark Pattinson asked.

Justin Pattinson fell silent for a while, then he opened his mouth and said, “No matter what, the child cannot be aborted!”

Mark Pattinson was quiet and looked at Justin Pattinson. In the end, he said, “Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has their own past. But eventually, it is the future that holds the key, am I correct? Kathleen treats you well and we all acknowledge that. More so, now she is pregnant with your child, you cannot abandon your own responsibility, otherwise, imagine how the outsiders will perceive us!”

“As such, you two should get married!”

Mark Pattinson was not surprised at all upon hearing these words.

It was as if he had known about it from a long time ago.

In the eyes of Justin Pattinson, the family's fortunes were his everything. As such, he could not feel that he had ever worried about his own “flesh and blood”. After all, since when did he care about these? All that mattered to him was the company’s future development and profits.

With all of this in his sight, nothing else mattered to him.

Besides, who was Mark Pattinson to him, Mark Pattinson was but an “illegitimate” child who was despised by him.

Mark Pattinson remained silent for quite some time. He did not speak a word.

Eileen Dawson watched him closely, she wanted to see through Mark Pattinson and to know what he would do.

After some time, Mark Pattinson opened his mouth and said, “All right. I got it!”

Eileen Dawson was speechless.

She had never thought that Mark Pattinson would reply so calmly.

His reply raised her suspicions.

Mark Pattinson was an egoistic person, why would he be willing to accept Kathleen Turner again. Despite Eileen Dawson not understanding him any better, at least she understood about men. No man could face such a scandalous woman again as if nothing had ever happened, especially someone like Mark Pattinson.

Despite her own suspicions, she did not say anything.

Justin Pattinson was caught by surprise too, as Mark Pattinson rarely listened to him.

Even he himself would find it hard to accept the fact, not to mention Mark Pattinson. That was why it was against his expectation that Mark Pattinson would reply to him so calmly.

Nevertheless, all the while Mark Pattinson did things according to his own plan, no one could ever see through his thoughts.

Justin Pattinson glanced at him several times, hoping to find some hints from his expression but to no avail. It was indeed rare to find Mark obedient toward him, this Justin Pattinson did not continue any further.

They continued to eat.

Logan Pattinson who was a fool knew nothing at all.

Upon listening to Justin Pattinson’s words, he could not help but laughed at him, “He’s right. Although Kathleen is a fallen woman, she matches you perfectly!”

His words attracted Mark Pattinson’s cold stare.

Logan Pattinson was shocked. Nevertheless, seeing Justin Pattinson and Eileen Dawson around, he had nothing to fear.

“What’s the matter? Am I wrong?”

“Foolish!” Mark Pattinson spat out the word and said no more.

Mark Pattinson felt that the more he talked to him, the more time he wasted his time on him. A fool would always be a fool and not change much about himself.

Justine Pattinson noticed this and blurted out immediately, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

“I’m telling the truth!”

“You know nothing. Shut up and eat your meal!” Justin Pattinson shouted at him.

Logan Pattinson was reprimanded innocently. But he dared not refute Justin Pattinson and thus, he grunted and continued to eat.
