Chapter 8

Spending that night with Lilian had already hurt Winnie’s feelings, but she was kind–hearted and hadn’t pursued the matter further. She hadn’t brought it up again over the years. But if he were to tell her that on that night, Lilian had gotten pregnant with a child and given birth to a daughter, would Winnie be able to accept it?

She was so delicate.

After contemplating for a moment, he made a decision. “I won’t acknowledge her.”

His brothers instantly wore pleased expressions.

Jasper was practically jumping for joy. “Then I’ll go tell her, so she won’t have any illusions about us anymore! I can’t wait to see her reaction when she finds out about the results, ha–ha!”

With that, he turned and left.

Antonio remained silent for a moment before speaking. “I’ll go too.”

The other boys were taken aback, but they didn’t object and readily agreed.

In the orphanage, Laura finally finished the greeting card for Antonio..

Today marked the eighth day.

The gift she had prepared could finally be sent out today!

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside. “Laura! Your father is here to see you!”

Excitement surged through her as she jumped up from her chair and rushed to the door.

Parked at a distance was a familiar car and a person stood at the entrance of the orphanage.

It was Jasper.

He held the latest iPhone in his hand, impatiently scrolling through it. Looking up, he saw Laura running towards him, followed by a group of curious kids.

They were all wondering if Laura was going to have a father from now on.

He scowled in disgust.

They were like little trash having a meeting with him.

Laura saw him, and he seemed to shine radiantly in her eyes. She stopped in front of him and cautiously said, “Hello, Mister.”

Her large eyes blinked, filled with anticipation.

Jasper’s expression eased a bit upon seeing her.

He had to admit that among kids her age, she was quite good–looking.

He spoke in a deep voice. “The results are out.”

Laura nervously swallowed and nodded. “Yes.”

“You’re not my father’s daughter.” Jasper’s eyes darkened, and he said bluntly. “Don’t try to get involved with him anymore.”

His words hit like a blow, leaving Laura stunned.

All her hopes crumbled, leaving her uncertain as Laura asked, “I’m not Mr. Smith’s child?”

“Correct, you’re not.” Jasper coldly stared at her. “Don’t go around telling people you have a father from now on.”

The kids behind them burst into laughter, rolling on the ground exaggeratedly. “Ha–ha, Laura has no father! Laura has no father!”

“Laura’s bragging!”

“Bragging!”

“Your dad’s dead, Laural”

Jasper retorted angrily, “Your dad’s the one who’s dead!”

The kids were taken aback for a moment before making faces and running away. “Our dad was dead, to begin with!”

He was very disgusted..

What good kids could come from a place like this!

Laura was just one of these kids and nothing special!

Laura was still baffled, but one thought lingered in her mind. “Mister, wait for me. I’ll get the gift.”

She ran back with her short legs, Jasper watched for a moment with a furrowed brow, then turned and got into his car.

Inside the car, Antonio and the other two brothers remained silent, gazing at Jasper.

After a moment of hesitation, Jasper said, “Let’s go.”

Laura soon dashed to the entrance with the greeting card in hand, only to find that the black car had already left. She shouted, “Mister!”

There was no response.

She squeezed through the door and ran out, holding the card high, “Mister! Mister! Wait for me!”

The car sped toward the corner, with Laura following behind, crying and yelling, “Mister, don’t leave! Mister, don’t leave!”

Jasper’s expression darkened as, he inadvertently looked back, only to see Laura’s small figure running behind the car…

“Stop the car!”
