Jana, who was staying not far away, smiled fearlessly. Check the surveillance? Who was he kidding? That was impossible.
After a while, the security guard rushed out and showed the screenshot taken from the surveillance footage to Shawn. "President Richard, we can’t see her face, we can only get a shot of her back. It is a woman."
He glanced at the screenshot with his cold eyes and frowned. How could it be her?
“Shawn, should we get out of here first?”
Vivian's eyes were slightly red, but she endured it, as she did not want to lose her composure. She wanted to tear off the faces of the onlookers around her, but she could not. So what if she could tear apart all of their faces, it would not be better than tearing apart that one person’s face.
Shawn turned his head to look at her, then he glanced at the surrounding staff. "Let’s take a taxi first."
The security guard hurriedly stopped a taxi. After the taxi drove for hundreds of meters, Vivian, who had been silent, said, "Sir, please stop the car."
The car quickly came to a halt. Shawn frowned irritably and lowered the window. He looked at the woman standing by the side of the road with some dissatisfaction. "What are you trying to do?"
“What am I doing? I live in humiliation almost every day, Dalton and I can’t do anything about that at all. Shawn, I can’t change the fact that I love you, just like how Dalton can’t change the fact that he is your son. However, I am still just a woman. I will get hurt too, hearing people calling me a mistress or a sl*t every day.”
Compared to her usual patient look, it seemed like Vivian still had anger to vent. She could not help but cry. "I thought that I just had to endure it and be with you, even if your heart and soul refuses me. But I suddenly found that I just can’t take it anymore today. Everyone thinks that Joye is Mrs. Richard, and I will be called a mistress for my whole life. I can never raise my head in front of any of them. And Dalton will also be called an illegitimate child."
"That’s enough."
The term illegitimate child made Shawn angry. No one could say that his son was an illegitimate child.
“It’s not enough! If my love can only bring you and Dalton harm, I would rather leave with Dalton. Shawn, I really can’t take it anymore.”
He looked at her slender and trembling body squatting on the side of the road, she had completely lost her image. Then, he felt a sense of guilt arise. He pushed the door open and got off the car, then strode with his long legs. His voice was low and intoxicating.
“You don’t have to leave with Dalton. I will handle this matter.”
"Really?" Vivian raised her head and looked at him with her red eyes. She didn't wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes until he gave a faint 'hmm' and reached out with his other hand.
His heart softened at her delicate look. He reached out and was about to pull her up, however, another face flashed in front of him. He did not hesitate, he immediately adjusted the direction of his hands and brushed past her soft palm, he only pulled on her arm.
"Come on, let’s pick Jasper up first."
He did not use much strength, but to her, it felt like her skin was pinched. Her fingers curled up slightly. She was disappointed and angry, but she did not show it on her face. “Okay.”
After around ten minutes, the taxi stopped at the entrance of an international kindergarten. Because of what had just happened, their arrival had been delayed. Dalton's classes had ended for some time already. Only the parents who arrived late rushed into the kindergarten in a hurry.
Seeing the trace of guilt in Shawn’s eyes, Vivian smiled and comforted him, “Jasper says that he likes to play with the children who leave late in the kindergarten.”
As soon as she said that, Dalton’s voice came from the kindergarten. There was a hint of anger in his voice.
"I am not an illegitimate child. I have a father."
"You are an illegitimate child. Your mother is not your father's wife at all, she is a mistress. She is a bad woman who has ruined other people's families. My mother said that the child of a mistress is illegitimate."
