Chapter 177 How Competent Can Your Son Be

Meanwhile, Erin and Zachary once again stepped into the Lynch residence in Huxville, a wealthy neighborhood in the western part of Glenport City.

They could not help but sigh when they realized nothing much had changed over the years. The residence was still as impressive and majestic as ever.

For years, she had been dreaming of entering the building again. Finally, her dream had come true.

Erin gracefully sat on the couch in the living hall while the housekeeper served them tea. At that point, Erin was still a bundle of nerves and did not know what to do.

“Zachary, look at me. What do you think of my look?” Erin shot the man a concerned look while tidying up her hair and clothes.

Zachary took a sweeping glance at her and replied calmly, “You look fine.”

Erin took a deep breath. “Don’t upset your dad when you see him later. He finally took the initiative to invite us over for the first time in many years-”

Zachary kept mum. He would not have come to the Lynch residence if it were not for the Lenoir family.

For years, Desmond had left them in the lurch. Zachary could somehow figure out why Desmond called them home.

To Zachary, the so-called kinship meant nothing as it was bound by rules and restrictions.

Annoyance flashed across his eyes. He tilted his head and saw a wheelchair-bound figure from a stone’s throw away.

Zachary narrowed his eyes upon seeing that person.

The man in the wheelchair was his brother from another mother, Jacques Lynch.

Jacques got into a serious traffic accident a year ago, and the doctor had to amputate his legs to save his life. Zachary knew the Lynch family would not have accepted him if it were not for the accident.

Jacques, who stared at Zachary, slowly wheeled himself to the living hall.

When Erin turned toward the source of sound and noticed Jacques from a distance, she immediately stood up and walked in his direction.

“Are you Jacques? I couldn’t recognize you anymore since I’ve not seen you in years…” Erin put on an affable front when she approached Jacques.

Yet, Jacques’ attention was fixated on Zachary. There was an intense murderous glint in the former’s eyes.

“Oh, before I forget. I brought you some health supplements from overseas—”

“I don’t need them!” Jacques cut her off curtly. He looked up at her with a scowl. “I don’t deserve to use your things.”

Erin looked at him and frowned. She wanted to say something, but words caught in her throat. “Jacques, we didn’t come with a bad intention…”

Jacques snorted icily. A chilling glare flashed across his eyes as he sneered, “This was how you spoke to my mom, who eventually went mad and jumped off the building. Do you still remember?”

Erin instantly blanched at his words. “I know it was my fault, but I didn’t expect that to happen. Jacques, I know you won’t listen to anything I say, but I promise I’ll take good care of you once I return to the Lynch residence. I’ll treat you like my own—”

Jacques grimaced and glared at her. “Shut up! I don’t need you to take care of me! It looks like you’re still hopeful that you can return to the Lynch residence, huh? Over my dead body!” Jacque roared in anger.

“Jacques—”

“Don’t call my name! Who are you to call my name?”

“I know you wouldn’t want to listen to me, but I just want to atone for my sin. I want to make it up to you. Can’t you forgive me?”

“You want to atone for your sin? Fine. Go and kill yourself now. I’ll forgive you if you die before my eyes…” Jacques then gave Zachary a side-eye. “You should jump off the building like how my mother did. I’ll not only forgive you, but I’ll allow your son to return to the Lynch family. How about that? Does this deal sound good to you?”

Just then, Zachary went up to Jacques and stood in front of him. “Shut your mouth, Jacques…”

Jacques let out a mirthless laugh after seeing the expression on Zachary’s face. “What’s wrong? You wanna hit me? Go on. Hit me!”

“I’ll hit you if you keep testing my patience!”

“I know you’ll hit me. Your mom is a mistress, so how cultured can you be? You and your mom are used to barging into houses and bullying people anyway, right?” Jacques retorted with a grimace.
