Mr. Sam’s rage did not affect John at all.
John glanced at Haylee slightly and said to Mr. Sam, “Dad, if you really don’t care, I don’t mind saying it.”
Mr. Sam frowned, but his heart leaped as he saw John’s determined look.
Domestic shame should not be made public. Although he was very satisfied with Haylee, Haylee had not married John yet.
After a little consideration, he felt impulsive about what he just said.
Mr. Sam looked at Haylee.
Haylee immediately understood. Before Mr. Sam said anything, she stood up and said, “Mr. Sam, you talk first. I will go outside to buy some drinks.”
Haylee behaved tactically and had decent manners. Although she had some childish temper before, it was understandable; after all, she was still young.
Mr. Sam was very satisfied with Haylee, so to speak.
Haylee went out and then Mr. Sam’s face clouded over.
He glanced at John and said, “Now speak, what’s the matter?”
“Did you ask anyone else to kidnap Vivi?” John came straight to the point after a short hesitation.
Mr. Sam frowned and said, “Am I to blame for your girlfriend’s accident? Am I still your dad?”
“Sure, you are my dad,” John said seriously, but his expression changed slightly when he thought of the news in the newspaper. He continued, “But I’m not sure whether you still consider me as your son.”
Mr. Sam was pissed off by this sentence. He thumped the table and shouted, “John!”
John looked down and said, “Dad, I just want to know the answer to this question.”
“The answer to this question? I’m not a pupil doing arithmetic.” Mr. Sam found it both funny and annoying, “Well, so what are you going to do if I really did it? Will you drag me to the side of Vivi to apologize for my mistake? Or are you going to take me to the police station?”
Mr. Sam just said angry words, which was nothing more than admission in John’s view.
John raised his head suddenly, with a look of pain.
Of course, he would neither take his dad to the police station nor drag him to make an apology to Vivi.
But that was what made him struggle.
When Mrs. Reina saw this, she frowned at Mr. Sam, holding his hand, and asked him to speak less. Then she immediately looked at John and said, “John, your dad just said angry words. Don’t take it seriously. What happened to Vivi? We really don’t know about it and your dad can’t do it.”
John raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Reina.
Mrs. Reina steadied her own mind and continued, “Your dad has been with me these days, you know, and he seldom goes to the company. He had neither the time nor the energy to do it in the past few days. You can’t be misled by anyone who has an ulterior motive. By the way, how is Miss. Vivian now?”
John didn’t speak, with his head down, as if he was judging the truth of Mrs. Reina’s words.
An idea suddenly came to Mrs. Reina’s mind. She slightly leaned back and looked weak, “You are the only one we can count on. Yes, I don’t like Vivian, but it is for your own good. Vivian isn’t worthy of you. Even if you find an ordinary woman, I can stand it. But Vivian has a child and she doesn’t show any respect to us. We can’t accept such a daughter-in-law.”
