Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1479

Oliver wasn’t willing to take over the family business. He was happiest when he worked as a doctor.

But because of Kenneth’s deteriorating health, Oliver was forced to work for the family. Bogged down by the overwhelming demands of business, Oliver no longer had the chance to pick up his beloved scalpel.

Although Oliver never spoke a word about it, Kenneth knew that his son wasn’t happy working for the company.

He couldn’t even be with Diana, the woman he loved. Thankfully, he fell in love with Fanny, who loved him with all her heart.

Kenneth was delighted to see that.

But…

His sins against the Smiths came back to haunt him like a nightmare.

He was worried Oliver might find out about his secret, and that might drive a wedge between them as father and son. Therefore, he decided to come clean. Whether Oliver would be upset or shocked wasn’t part of his consideration.

He was a father with a penchant for manipulating his son.

But right now, he regretted it deeply.

He was about to die.

Kenneth wanted to do something for his son before he passed away. The only bargaining chip he had was the truth of the past, the justice he owed the Smiths.

He was willing to pay back the debt he owed.

Fanny knew what he meant, but…

“You have no right to negotiate with me.”

“He loves you very much.”

“Seems like you don’t know your son very well,” Fanny said with a chuckle. Her fingers rested on his oxygen mask. “Your life is in my hands. If you don’t tell me the truth, I can send you on your way to see my parents.”

If she could discover the truth, it didn’t matter if Kenneth died. She could hunt down those who covered his crimes. She would deliver justice for her parents!

“I’m not scared,” Kenneth said.

He was a cunning old fox through and through—especially when he knew he had what Fanny wanted.

He went on calmly, “You can pull it out, but after doing that, you won’t find out anything about your biological parents.”
