Chapter 35

Chapter 35 The Scandal That was also why Pierce let Luke come back to the Clement family.

Kamden was dumbfounded and looked grave.

When Ava heard the name, she went mad and smacked Pierce.

“Why did you bring Darion’s kid back? That woman gave birth to Darion after your father was divorced.

He was not a Clement!

“Are you insane? We have nothing to do with Darion, even if he was dead. Why did you want to raise his child? You ungrateful bastard…”

Ava gnashed her teeth in anger. She couldn’t calm down nor resist lambasting her own son.

Back then, Kamden cheated on his ex–wife, Gina Clement, with Ava.

When Ava was pregnant for a month, Gina divorced Kamden.

After that, Gina went aboard. Three months later, she was seen on the street with a big belly by a friend of Kamden’s. It turned out Gina was four months pregnant.

Gina got pregnant even earlier than Ava.

Kamden found out about this thing and was filled with remorse. He went abroad to fix his relationship with Gina, but Gina moved on.

It was too late for them to patch things up.

Kamden came back and married Ava. After Pierce was born, Kamden could get his life back on track.

15.170 For Ava, They were also the witnesses of Ava’s shameful past.

Gina named his son, “Darion Clement“, and Kamden named Ava’s son, “Pierce Clement“.

Their names showed that they were related.

Ava resented it for years.

But now, Pierce took Kamden’s ex–wife’s grandson back to find his roots. Ava was so angry that she almost lost her mind.

Before Ava’s shouts drew the other people’s attention, Pierce seized Ava’s hand and stopped her. His eyes were as black as ink.

“Mom, enough. Do you want everyone to know about our scandals?”

Ava immediately fell silent. Her lips trembled, and she couldn’t utter a word.

She didn’t want the scandal to be exposed.

She didn’t want everyone to know the Clement family’s shameful history and how she became a homewrecker.

In terror, Ava looked at Kamden. A shadow of indescribable emotion passed Kamden’s face.

Kamden slowly raised his head and stared solemnly at Pierce.

“Is he…dead?”

Pierce’s face darkened. His lips pressed into a straight line. His fists clenched. He endured the grief and nodded.

Pierce met Darion when he went aboard to study.

15:17 Chapter 35 The Scandal The Clements were always strict with their offspring. They weren’t allowed to feel things.

Darion was cheerful and easygoing, plus Pierce and Darion looked alike, so they hit it off the first time they met.

Later, they became close friends.

When Darion invited Pierce to his house, Pierce saw Gina’s photo. Kamden had the same one placed in his home office.

Suddenly, Pierce knew who Darion was.

Pierce felt guilty and had mixed feelings.

How could he ignore the fact that the Darion’s only son was still alive?

Kamden rubbed his forehead and heaved a long sigh, trying to conceal his feelings.

He stood up and glanced at the timid Luke beside Emelia.

“The guests are still waiting outside. Let’s go!”

What Kamden said had got Emelia’s hopes up.

Ava suddenly became sulky.

She raised her head and said, “Hold your horses. This woman is a slut. It can be any man’s child. End this banquet. We can’t let him take the shares!”

Kamden’s face darkened. He indifferently cast a look at her.

Just one look gave Aya the heebie–jeebies.

Everyone remained silent for a few seconds.

A **

Chapter 35 The Scandal Kamden walked over and patted Ava’s hand.

He said meaningfully and coldly, “Let’s go. You’re the hostess of the banquet. How can you not attend it?”

Then Kamden glanced at Emelia, who sat on the ground expectantly. His voice was lack of any warmth.

“Let the doctor take some tests, and we’ll know if he’s a Clement.”

Before Emelia could relax her mind, she was caught off guard again.

Kamden was still suspecting it.

Ava glared at Emelia before she left. She was eager to teach Emelia a lesson.

No one could plot against her.

After Kamden and Ava left, Emelia broke out in tears. She peered at Pierce, aggrieved, and snuffled.

“Pierce, your mother won’t let me and Luke off. What should I do?”

Pierce’s gaze fell on Emelia’s face for a brief moment.

“Don’t worry. My dad will protect you.”

If Luke was Darion’s son, Kamden would certainly take him in.

Emelia hung her head. Her shoulders trembled slightly.

She covered her face and sobbed, “This is so sudden. Did someone do it on purpose?

“Sophia? It must be Sophia! I saw her smile evilly. She must’ve planned this out. It must be her!”

Chapter 35 The Scandal Sophia must want to ruin Emelia’s life when Emelia could have everything.

When Luke’s father was changed from Pierce to Darion, the consequences would be different.

Pierce frowned. His eyes turned cold.

“Don’t make false accusations without any proof.”

He turned around and directly walked out of the room.

“Pierce…”

Emelia bit her lower lip, took a deep breath, and stood up.

It was aclosecall.

She didn’t lose the chance to live a rich life.

Emelia and Luke left the room.

In the banquet hall, Emelia found everyone whispering to each other.

Kamden had a serious look on his face. He looked down at the phone that the waiter passed over, and his face was dark like thunder.

Before Emelia could ask what happened, Kamden chucked the phone back and strode out of the room.

No one dared to make any noise.

Emelia quickly quickly walked over and took up the phone. When she saw the photos and headline, she was struck dumb, and her face turned pale.

avin Who “Wingley Arts clarified that Ms. Wilson was not a professional dancer but a janitor who worked got fired because she was having a do for three years. Sho with a Wingley Arts dancer and threatened 15:18 Chapter 35 The Scandal him with the child in her belly.‘

Wingley Arts responded to the incident that happened previously.

They even explained the reason why she got fired!

“Because she was having an affair with a dancer and threatened him with the child in her belly.”

Emelia’s heart skipped a beat. She started panicking.

She felt like she was standing on a rope above the ground. One mistake, and she would fall off.

Waves of chills were sent down her spine and spread across her body.

The whispers rang in her ears.

“I almost believed she was a Wingley Arts dancer! I wondered why I never watched her performance. It turns out she’s a janitor!”

“What a shameless homewrecker! She even hooked up with the Clements‘ son!”

“Is the boy n Pierce’s son? Will the Clement family take him in?”

“Of course, he’s not. Didn’t you hear she got fired after she was pregnant?”
