Proof? The proof of the DNA paternity test? That was the Payne family's shortcoming. Lucius was unable to produce that. He stuttered. "I...I..."
Sean sneered. "What's the matter? You can't produce it? Are you guys really a group of criminals?"
"No! I am unable to produce the proof of the DNA paternity test, but Vireo indeed is our son! Our neighbors, Vireo’s teachers, and classmates in school can testify to this!" Lucius said loudly.
"Great!" Sean calmly smiled. "You may invite your neighbors, your son’s classmates, and teachers out here to testify!
"Alright! I'll give them a call now." While saying that, Lucius started to take out his phone.
However, Lucius was still unable to forget Sean and Sebastian's power in South City. No matter what was the result that day, Lucius also knew that the Payne family could not afford to offend the Ford family from South City. Therefore, while he dialed a set of numbers on his phone, he also looked at Sean with a smile at the same time.
"Sir, we may have some misunderstandings between us. If everyone is able to testify for me after I've made the calls, don't be angry. We, the Payne family, absolutely have no intentions of offending you. It's a misunderstanding. It's certainly a misunderstanding! Even if all of the people from our county are able to testify for us that Vireo is indeed our son after I've made the phone calls, we don’t have any ulterior intentions as well. We simply want to tell the police that we are not criminals. As for whose son Vireo is, we understand if you would like to take Vireo as your godson. We can understand that. After all, you're already at such an old age, if you were to lose a son, it would be a huge blow to you. W e are willing to let our son be your godson. I t would also be appropriate for us to let Vireo care for you in the future. In the future, we’ll be like a family by bond."
At that moment, Lucius still did not forget t o fawn over Sean whenever he had the chance. It was only if the Payne family was able to be friends with the Ford family from South City that their time to be successful truly came. However, while he was talking about all that, the dial tone on his phone was already disconnected. Unexpectedly, nobody from the other end o f the phone picked up his call. Lucius was a little embarrassed. "Wh-what's going on? M y neighbor usually has a good relationship with us. Why isn't he picking up? He certainly must be busy at the moment. Please hold on. I will call again."
Lucius called his neighbor again. While repeatedly calling his neighbor's number, h e kept looking at Sean with a smile. He even glanced at his three daughters from time to time. His daughters immediately understood what he meant. Vireo was their brother.There was no doubt about that. The entire county also knew that the Payne family had an outstanding son, let alone their neighbors. Who would not have known? It could be said that their entire county was able to testify that Vireo was the Payne family's son. Even if they were not related by blood, Viero being Lucius’ adopted son was still a fact. While thinking of that, the Payne sisters felt more assured.
Chloe was the first to look at Sean with a smile. "Mister Ford Senior," she called endearingly. "It's like this. I generally could tell that you may have once lost a son. It so happened that your son and my brother looked very alike, so you, who missed your son so much, have taken my brother as your son, right? Don't worry, sir. Our brother is your son. He certainly will care for you in the future. Not only will my brother care for you, but my sisters and I will also care for you. You definitely won't b e lonely for the rest of your life."
