Lucius was so frightened that his face turned pale. "No, how could this be? How could it be like this? '
The police officer was very serious. "I have already figured out the general gist of the matter from what I heard! Your family did have a son. You had brought him back from another place, but you did not go through the adoption procedures, right? Not only did you not go through the adoption procedures, but you even did not love and care for the son that you had brought home. It seems that what your neighbors wanted to say is you were involved in child abuse, right? You actually abused and killed the son that you had brought back?"
Lucius continuously took a few straps
back. "No, it's not like that. Listen to me. Listen to me. It’s not like that. Our son is not dead. H-He is right in front of our eyes. Vireo, say something. You're our son. We've raised you since you were a baby, son." At that moment, Lucius desperately wanted to kneel before Vireo while Vireo was unexpectedly covered in tears.
It was time to say goodbye. From then on, h e truly had to bid farewell to the Payne family. The entire family was a bunch of leeches! They were leeches! Since childhood, Vireo had never felt any warmth from his family. The only feeling that was engraved on his heart was that the Payne family was all leeching off him! While they were leeching off them, they also oppressed him at the same time.
Vireo took a long breath, then said with a calm and a little miserable tone, "I'm sorry, Mister Payne. I know that you're missing
your son, but with great regrets, I have to tell you that I am not your son. I just look a little bit like your son. That's all.
"My father is Sean Ford. My brother is Sebastian Ford. They are the former and the current director of the Ford Group in South City. I indeed have a pair of adoptive parents, but they had died a long time ago. They are the Chief of Star Island. I have been living in a well-to-do family since childhood, and I had never lived in a small county before. The name that my adoptive parents gave me is Holden Payne. I am not your son, Vireo Payne. I am Holden Payne."
While he said that loudly, a voice suddenly echoed in his head. 'Good job. You're the best. Both of us co-exist together. You're truly my good brother.'
Vireo knew that that voice was the true Holden's voice. The entire Ford family, as well as the late Holden, were helping him. They were all doing their best to create a chance for him to have a new life. He wanted to break away from the Payne family. He had to break away from the Payne family!
Even though he felt heartbroken and also felt it was too cruel for a second, if Vireo was not cruel at that moment, then the Payne family would be even crueler when they leech off him. Not only would they be cruel, but if Vireo did not completely get rid of the Payne family at that moment, there would be a great possibility that the Payne family would come to South City to harass the Ford family in the future. Not only would they harass the Ford family, but they would even go around proclaiming that they are related to the Ford family and they are their relatives. By then, the Payne family's behavior of bullying others because they had powerful people to back them up may even become even more aggressive. By then, maybe even more people would be bullied by the Payne family. Therefore, since the opportunity had arisen at that moment, and since he had the chance to get rid of the Payne family for life, Vireo had to be decisive! He absolutely could not be merciful!
He looked at Lucius and his wife extremely calmly. Lucius' wife was already extremely ashen-faced. In fact, Vireo's adoptive mother was the only one in the entire Payne family who loved him just a little bit. However, she still was of one mind with his adoptive father and sisters, in the end, and harmed Vireo.
At that moment, Lucius's wife was regretting it immensely.
