Chapter 162 Revealing the Truth

A cold sense of betrayal washed over Teresa.

She fixed Wilson with a sharp glare as she spoke.

No matter how fiercely she and Stanley had clashed in the past, he had never stooped to something this deceitful.

But ever since Tanner’s passing, when Stanley took Wilson in as his adopted son, she had found herself under constant scrutiny–every move questioned, every intention doubted.

“You’re free to indulge Xavier all you want,” Stanley said, his tone shifting into something almost placating. “But with something this significant… why didn’t you bring it to me first?” r

Teresa’s reply was icy. “I haven’t verified the facts yet.”

“Is that so?” Stanley offered a faint, humorless smile. “And have you verified them now?”

Teresa remained silent.

Stanley didn’t press angrily. Instead, he continued in that same measured, calm voice. “Is there anything you’d like to tell me, then?”

“It’s just a photograph. There’s no way to confirm it’s authentic. Besides, Isabella is with Xavier every single day. If you’re so concerned about whether she has a child, why not ask Xavier directly?”

Teresa sidestepped his question entirely.

Stanley’s smile vanished. His gaze turned cold and predatory–like a hawk eyeing its prey.

“Then why did you visit Sander today?”

It was Wilson who spoke up this time.

He brought over another cup of coffee and placed it carefully into Stanley’s calloused bands.

“Sander is my son. I don’t need anyone’s permission to see him.”

“You and Sander have never been close,” Wilson countered calmly, taking the empty cup from Stanley once he’d finished. “The woman in that photo is Isabella, and the man is clearly Sander. If this were just some innocent picture, you wouldn’t have rushed over to confront him in such a panic.”

He didn’t wait for Teresa’s reply before turning back to the coffee tray to prepare another brew.

“Still not willing to tell the truth?” Stanley’s hand tightened around the cane beside him, his fingers tracing its length slowly.

“Is the child Isabella and Sander’s?”

Even if it is the two of them in the photo, that doesn’t automatically mean the child is

Teresa’s attempt to deflect was cut short as a bodyguard hurried into the room and leaned in to whisper something into Stanley’s ear.

Stanley listened, then looked back at Teresa, his expression shifting into one of grim amusement.

“Well, well. So it turns out Xavier does have a five year old staying at his place. And from what I hear… she calls Isabella Mommy?”

That afternoon, after leaving Skyler with the nanny to play, Isabella retreated to her room to review materials with Barry.

Sander had forwarded all the latest project proposals from the Whitman family portfolio.

Even though she’d repeatedly told him he had full authority over the Whitman business decisions, he still insisted on running everything by her first.

The family’s largest project had been put on indefinite hold because of Xavier’s interference, but Sander’s business instincts had proven sharper than Isabella anticipated. The new ventures he’d developed independently were showing real promise.

Barry, too, had praised Sander’s proposals highly. If these smaller projects took off, they wouldn’t just help the Whitmans evade the Moore Group’s attacks–they could potentially double Isabella’s initial investment within five years.

After their three–way conference wrapped up, Sander had Barry relay a question to Isabella. If he could return her initial investment by year’s end, would she be willing to commit more?

Isabella hadn’t expected Sander to aim that high. She asked for clarification–how much more was he thinking? Sander didn’t hesitate. He said he wanted the full cooperation and protection of the entire Carter family network.

Isabella was stunned into silence.

Full cooperation from the Carters? Was Sander actually trying to position the Whitmans to dominate the domestic business landscape?

She wasn’t sure she’d ever dare to propose such an alliance herself…

And even if she could broker the deal…

If the Whitmans rose above Moore Group, what would become of Xavier?

She was so used to Xavier being the one in power, the one who overwhelmed others. She couldn’t even picture the roles reversed.

When she didn’t respond, Barry smoothly steered the conversation to a close. For now, the priority was solidifying the Whitman family’s foundation and ensuring Isabella’s investment was secure

After shutting down her computer, Isabella noticed a new message from Sander on her phone.

“You free? If you can, give me a call”
