Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 572

"Say that again, I dare you!" Patrick roared, standing up from his chair. He pointed a trembling finger at Ethan and shouted, "I'm your father! How dare you talk to me like that!"

Before coming here, Patrick had thought that Ethan was satisfied now that he had put Elissa in jail. Little did he know that Ethan was coming for him next.

Ignoring Patrick's shouts, Ethan took Janet's hand and together, they left.

When Seth and Patrick were alone in the private room, Seth stood up and poured his father a cup of tea. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Don't worry, Dad. Ethan's not thinking straight. He'll come around after he calms down."

Patrick, on the other hand, was still seething with rage. He hadn't been threatened like this in a long time. He was so angry that, when Seth handed him the cup of tea, he threw it against the wall, smashing it to smithereens. "He should never have been allowed into the Lester family!" Seth glanced at the shards of porcelain on the floor, and some of the tea even splashed onto his trousers. He plucked up a tissue, wiped the stains on his trousers, and sat back down calmly.

Today, he had seen Ethan's yet another side. He didn't expect him to be so bold.

Patrick had always been a strict father, and even Seth himself was a little afraid of him, but Ethan dared to challenge—and even threatened—

Patrick.

But what surprised Seth the most was the fact that Patrick had invited Ethan back into the Lester family.

This somehow made him want to compete with Ethan.

Ever since he was born, Seth had always been the most outstanding child in the Lester family. He had grown proud because of this. The fact that Patrick wanted to ask Ethan back to the Lester family upset him a little.

He had always been the excellent child, and now there was Ethan, founder of the Larson Group and respected by all in the business world. Ethan had exceeded him.

He had lost the lawsuit to Ethan, and now, Ethan had turned against the whole Lester family.

Narrowing his eyes, Seth took a sip of his tea without saying a word.

He would like to see the lengths Ethan would go to to bring the Lester family down.
