Hearing this, Charles and Martha fell silent. Martha kept tugging at Charles’ sleeve and making eyes at him.
Charles thought for a moment and asked, “How did you find out?”
Philip replied, “Martin Johnston wanted to threaten me and Wynn with the Lovelace family’s incident to take over Beacon Group. I dealt with him and found out about this secret. At present, no one else knows except for them, you two, and me.”
Charles breathed a sigh of relief at this, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a nod, “Good, it’s good that she doesn’t know. If Wynnie finds out that we’re not her biological parents, then…”
Charles did not continue further. After all, they naturally had feelings for a daughter they had raised for more than 20 years.
Philip nodded in agreement, looked coldly at Martha who was hesitating to say something, and said, “Dad, I called you over just to tell you that this matter must not be made known to Wynn. Since you chose to keep such a secret, keep it till the end and bring it with you to the grave. I’ll deal with the rest.”

Her long brown hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing her extremely attractive figure with perfect S-shaped curves. She had delicate features. Under her long eyelashes, a pair of big eyes as bright and charming as jewels was filled with a look of surprise.
Beneath her high nose was a pair of fiery red lips. She gently said, “Okay, I understand. I’ll deal with it.”
With that said, the woman furrowed her shapely eyebrows, turned to the handsome man lying on the sofa next to her, and said, “Shane, something has happened to Wynn. She gave birth prematurely and is hemorrhaging now. She needs golden blood.”
Shane Lovelace stretched languidly and sat up on the sofa. He craned his neck a few times and pushed the Desert Eagle behind his waist. Then, he stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said calmly, “I’ll go…”
