Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389 A Long-Held Wish Fulfilled

Hearing Alfred's outburst, the members of the Songo family rejoiced, believing Alfred would refuse to acknowledge Benson.

After all, it wasn't something to be proud of!

However, Alfred slowly stood up, gazing at Benson, and nodded, "Son, I'm glad you returned to me. Welcome home!"

The family members were dumbfounded. Did the old man just acknowledge his son?

"Old man, what nonsense are you spouting? Have you gone senile? What do you mean by 'son'?"

Carol was the first to protest, grabbing his arm in an attempt to make him take back his words.

"Dad, how could you take him in..."

Chris and his brothers were also confused. They thought their dad was insane. After all these years, why did Alfred suddenly acknowledge the long-lost son now?

Hearing the opposition, Alfred retorted angrily, "Enough! Can't I acknowledge my own son?"

Cecelia turned to Benson, "Benson, now that your father has acknowledged you, how about you say something?"

"Dad! I am Benson! I wish you a long and prosperous life."

Benson bowed deeply to the old man in front of all the guests.

Alfred walked forward, helping him up, "That's enough, Benson. I'm sorry for all these years."

Benson shook his head, his eyes misty. The father and son looked at each other, their gazes conveying a myriad of emotions.

Seeing this scene, Carol was furious, thinking that the old man had gone mad. He had promised her that he wouldn't acknowledge the illegitimate son in his lifetime. Why did he break his promise now?

Wasn't this equivalent to slapping her in the face?

Not just Carol, all of Alfred's sons and grandsons were unhappy. But with guests around, they couldn't make a scene.

Cecelia looked at their angry faces, smiling lightly, thinking that if they couldn't handle this, there were even more unbearable surprises for them to come.

As the banquet came to an end, Alfred, holding his son's arm, returned to the previous banquet hall. The guests gradually left.

Carol, with a sulky face, followed, along with the other family members. Mizey and the others were all angry at Cecelia.

Without her meddling, how could such a scandal come to light?

Alfred and Benson were chatting. When the Songo family members arrived, Alfred wanted to introduce them to Benson, "Benson, you've just returned and aren't familiar with everyone at home. Let me introduce them to you..."

The first person Alfred wanted to introduce was Carol. However, once Carol took her seat, she did not offer a friendly face, saying, "No need for your introduction! I'm not like you, taking in every random person!"

Her words were quite offensive, essentially showing no respect to Benson.

Benson stared at Carol, whose face was filled with disdain and contempt.

As Benson wanted to say something, the loud sound of drums and trumpets from outside distracted everyone.

"Grandpa, the performance has started! Let me help you outside to watch! My brother specifically hired a dance troupe to perform for you!"
