The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 507

The two Chase brothers stared at Vivica, their eyes narrowing in shock.

Before Sullivan could speak, Sean, the third Chase brother, lost his temper and pointed a finger at her. "Who the hell do you think you are? You just pop out of nowhere and claim to be a Chase? I think you're a fraud!"

Joseph's brow furrowed. Seeing the man's unmitigated audacity—insulting his wife right in front of him—his expression turned icy. He reached out, grabbed the outstretched hand, and twisted Sean's index finger sharply upward.

"Aargh!" Sean shrieked, his face contorting in pain. "It hurts! Let go! Let go!"

Joseph didn't release his grip. Instead, he said calmly, "I dare you to say that again."

Vivica was stunned. She never expected Joseph to get physical in public. As a lawyer, he knew the potential consequences better than anyone. If the Chase brothers called the police and accused him of assault, it would be difficult to clear his name.

"...Mr. Baird... I... I..." Sean's face turned a deep shade of crimson as he stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence.

Sullivan stepped forward to rescue his brother. "Mr. Baird, you've gone too far! You're breaking the law. Do you really think you're in Riverdale where you can do whatever you want?"

Sean was still blustering, "You're lying! Who's breaking the law? Do you have any proof, or are you just making baseless accusations?"

Joseph smirked again. He was tall, while Sean was short and stout. Now, contorted in pain, Sean looked even smaller. Joseph tilted his head, raising an eyebrow in a look of condescending amusement. "Of course I do. Would you like to see it?"

Sullivan was the smart one. He knew instantly that Joseph must have uncovered something new on them. The problem was, he'd done so many shady things over the years that he couldn't even guess what Joseph had found. But no matter what, he couldn't let the situation escalate.

"Mr. Baird, please don't take him seriously. He's all brawn and no brains, speaks without thinking. If Ms. Lynn is really Hayes's long-lost daughter, that's wonderful news! It's just... there ought to be some proof, shouldn't there?"
