Xavier went back at night. Arya stayed with Ryan at the hospital all night, so she didn't sleep much. She didn't look well when she woke up in the morning.
Thinking that she had to go to the airport to see Jasper off, Arya rubbed her temples and took out her phone to call Nanny Joy to come and look after Ryan.
Arya then received a call from an unknown number. She answered it and knew it was Estella.
Arya was about to hang up, but before she did it, Estella said, "Do you want to know who your son's father is? Do you want to know who took away your virginity?"
Arya's hand trembled involuntarily, and soon she regained her composure. "I know it, so I don't need you to tell me. You'll get your retribution."
"I heard that your son is sick. You really don't want to know who his father is?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I've found a way to save my son." After that, Arya immediately hung up the phone.
When Estella said that she knew who Ryan's father was, her heart fluttered. She wanted to figure it out, for herself and Ryan.
However, she knew that Estella would not be so kind.
She did not know what plot Estella was holding in mind to harm her.
Now, she didn't want to die. She had to live and take good care of Ryan.
She couldn't die.
Hearing the phone hung up over there, Estella angrily broke her phone.
"Why are you crazy again?" Richard was furious. Ever since the changes happened in the Harrison Family, Richard had aged a lot and his eyes were listless.
After he saw Estella break the phone, his anger arose.
Now he had lost his company. His son was in jail and his daughter's engagement had been broken off. He was now the object of everyone's ridicule.
He rarely went out because he felt embarrassed.
Estella turned her head away from Richard's eyes because she was guilty.
A few days ago, she had an affair with a man. She didn't know why she had sex with that man.
During the process, she was in a daze, but the discomfort and residue from her lower body reminded her that it was true.
She didn't dare to tell anyone about this since she was not young anymore, and this thing was shameful.
She just regretted not killing Arya.
"Where's Harriet? She is always out all day!" Richard was so angry and cursed, "She is so useless that she can't even retain Xavier's favor!"
Estella was unhappy. "Why did you scold Harriet? If it hadn't been for your bitchy daughter, how could we be so ashamed?"
Richard slapped her in a fit of rage. "Don't say that!"
Estella covered her face in disbelief. He had never slapped her since they got married.
Estella pointed at Richard. "Besides taking advantage of women, what else can you do? You used to marry a woman who was pregnant before marriage for fame and fortune, and now you slap me. I've been with you for more than 20 years, and I gave you a son. Richard, you're a bastard!"
Richard hated this past. He didn't want to admit that Danielle was pregnant when he married her.
He really liked Danielle, but he couldn't accept that shame.
He suffered humiliation to get the company.
That was why he had an affair with Estella after they got married.
Richard was so angry that he threw a cane at Estella. "She's my daughter!"
Estella was much younger than Richard. Thus, she wouldn't stand still to let Richard hit her. She grabbed the cane and said, "Is what I said wrong? You had been cuckolded before you got married. Even if you don't want it to be mentioned, it's still the truth. If you didn't hate her, why were you so heartless to her?"
"Estella…" Richard pointed at Estella and trembled with anger. "How dare you say…"
