Theodore Vale rushed to the hospital room, and as soon as he entered, Old Vale kicked him to the ground.
Before he could react while kneeling, Old Vale’s fists were already raining down on him:
“Beast! How dare you touch your own sister–in–law! How can you face Ronan?!”
“It’s bad enough that you idle around all day, but now you dare do such immoral things!”
Theodore Vale looked up to see his mother on the hospital bed, her face full of disappointment, and Irene wiping away tears with her head down.
He suddenly laughed:
“Ronan’s a vegetable now. What’s wrong with Irene and me being together willingly?”
“Our child is the true Vale family bloodline! Ronan is just an adopted son – why do you favor him?!”
–
Old Vale trembled with rage, needing to lean against the wall to keep from falling.
Irene suddenly shook her head in panic:
“Theodore, don’t talk nonsense! You clearly forced me. You even threatened me with Ronan, saying if I wasn’t
willing, you’d cut off his medical expenses…”
“Shut up!” Theodore Vale roared, his eyes full of disbelief.
“Who was the one crying and calling me in the middle of the night begging me to come over these past two years? Who was wearing silk nightgowns and throwing herself into my arms?”
“Irene, you were the one being shameless and throwing yourself at me! You were the one desperately seducing me!”
Irene suddenly stopped crying and picked up the fruit knife from the bedside table, pressing it against her wrist:
“Mom, Dad, please give me justice! I can’t argue with him. I deserve to die – I’m a sinner! Let me and the child die to accompany Ronan!”
“Nonsense!”
Old Vale snatched away the knife, wearily rubbing his temples:
“Irene, go to France first to rest during your pregnancy. When the child is born, we’ll say it’s adopted.”
“We’ll all pretend this never happened. Ronan must never know, understand?”

Old Vale turned to Theodore Vale again, his voice low and stern:
“I don’t care what your motives were for forcing your sister–in–law, but you must abandon those filthy thoughts
now!”
“You don’t need to manage company affairs anymore. Marry Clara Ellison immediately, and after the wedding, go to Florida to manage your mother’s vineyard. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to return!”
Theodore Vale sneered inwardly.
This was his good father – willing to send away his biological son for an adopted one.
It didn’t matter. After tomorrow, the company would be his.
He lowered his eyes, hiding the calculation in them: “Yes, Dad.”
His mother breathed a sigh of relief and added softly:
“Theodore, there’s the Blackwell family wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. Remember to take Clara Ellison to meet people – it’ll be our Vale family’s formal acceptance of her.”
Theodore Vale paused in his steps.
The Blackwell family wedding banquet? He had to attend.
After taking over the company, he’d inevitably need to cooperate with the Blackwell family.
Since he no longer had to deal with Irene, it was time to give Clara Ellison some status.
He’d get the marriage certificate tomorrow first.
The wedding could be planned slowly – after all, he might be too busy with company matters to spare time.
With this thought, he immediately turned around to go home.
Passing by Clara Ellison’s favorite dessert shop, he even bought her favorite blueberry cake.
But the moment he opened the door, his smile froze on his face.
She dared to stay out all night!
Theodore Vale frantically dialed her number, only to discover all his contact methods had been blocked.
A wave of panic suddenly surged through him.
Yesterday had he gone too far?
Just then, Irene called crying:

“Theodore, what I said earlier was to protect our child…”
Theodore Vale decisively hung up.
This kind of woman who was good at changing faces – where was there a single truthful word?
