The Payne family, who were already trembling in fear, turned their heads around together to look behind them, and they saw an old man getting out of the car that Mister Ford had come out of earlier. This old man looked slightly younger than the old man from earlier. He should be around Lucius' age, and he seemed like he was in his seventies. However, that old man's mightiness and solemnity were something that Lucius would never be able to be compared to. Lucius absolutely was not even worthy to be nobody in the face of the old man.
The old man with a cold expression came t o Lucius and his wife, as well as the Payne sister, and looked at them with a gaze as sharp as a knife. "I, Sean Ford, have lived more than seventy years old, and I unexpectedly am able to witness such a strange thing at this very moment. He clearly is my biological son! Why are there suddenly so many lunatics going to the hospital to make trouble and snatch my son? What is your purpose in snatching my son away from me? Could it be that all of you belong to a criminal gang? Are you deliberately accusing others to cover up your own true identity?"
After saying that, Sean looked at a few police. "I would like you, members of the law enforcement, to investigate this properly."
"Don't worry, Mister Ford. As long as they are criminals, we will not let any of them g o," the police immediately said.
"Good!”
Sean looked at Lucius and his wife, as well as the Payne sisters, again. "Tell me, why are you targeting my son and not letting them go? Do you think that my youngest son is easy to bully?" Sean asked loudly.
The Payne family was all dumbfounded. They did not even dare to cry. What the hell was going on? Why did their own adopted son suddenly become the biological son of the most powerful and richest family in South City? How could that be possible? Lucius absolutely could not believe it. Vireo was the child of the Payne family. Just an hour and a half ago, when Vireo came out o f the operating room, he even called them," Dad, Mom." That was absolutely true!
"Vireo, you . my son, we are your parents. W e are not criminals. Vireo, clarify this with Mister Ford and Mister Ford Senior.
Otherwise, your parents and your sisters would be treated as criminals and captured. At that moment, Lucius already did not care about glory, wealth, and whatnot anymore. He was simply thinking that it was already not bad if the Payne family were able to walk away from this situation unharmed. Even if he were any stupider or any more ignorant, Lucius was also vaguely able to sense that his entire family seemed to be going to fail this time. They were going to be failing badly. That kind of panic and fear were eroding his entire body little by little. Within a short span of two minutes, the seventy-year-old man's head unexpectedly was beaded with sweat. When he turned around to look at his wife, his wife was already so frightened that her legs turned to jelly. If the Payne sisters had not been holding onto their mother, the old lady probably would have collapsed on the ground.
"Vireo, we're your sisters." Chloe no longer was as arrogant as earlier on, and she looked at Vireo in tears.
Ashah immediately called out. "Vireo, I am your second sister. When you were still a child, I often carried you on my back."
"Me as well, Vireo. I am your third sister. You and I are the closest in age. We grew u p together as children, Vireo. Whenever I had anything delicious, I would save everything for you. Do you still remember? Vireo, we are all your family." Abigail looked at Vireo eagerly.
However, at that moment, Vireo did not even look at the Payne family at all. He only looked at Sean with surprise. Vireo had no intention of having anything to do with Sean in this life and also visiting him. Even if it was the day that Sean died, Vireo was not going to go see him as well. The words he said to Sean that day when Vireo found his mother and brought her back home from the mountains were very cruel.
