Chapter 764 - 758: The Real Father Arrives (Part 1)
After speaking, she took out a paternity test between him and Meredith Ford, placed it on the coffee table, and let him see it clearly.
Without suspense, all their prior reasoning turned out to be correct.
This man, who seemed upright and dignified, was actually a hypocrite. He had cheated and had a child, and for this child, he did not hesitate to harm his biological daughter.
"Was it you who took Poppy away back then?"
Jonas Jarvis shook his head: "No."
Rouge Jarvis didn’t expect him to still shake his head despite the evidence being here, her anger rising: "You’re still lying?!"
Jonas looked directly into her eyes, speaking word by word: "I admit to the things I’ve done; I won’t admit to things I haven’t done."
Rouge’s voice was cold as she questioned: "The fact is, after Poppy was confirmed dead, I adopted Meredith Ford. Initially, wasn’t it your plan? How would there be any following events?"
Tiana Thorne’s fox-like eyes carefully scrutinized his facial expressions, not missing any trace of emotion.
He didn’t seem to be lying.
Or perhaps, he was already a master at lying, which is why he was so calm.
Jonas closed his eyes, a hint of pain covering his brow, seemingly reluctant memories invading, forcing him to think.
"Jonas, don’t think that by being silent, this matter can be settled. You cheated and have a bastard; Pearl will find out sooner or later. What kind of choice do you think she will make?"
His eyes had a hint of pain, he replied hoarsely: "...Cannot."
"Then speak clearly about what you and the woman behind you have done, Jonas, you should know me. If I decide to make Pearl hate you for life, you won’t be able to reverse it."
Jonas swallowed, his hands clenched into fists, knuckles pale, his gaze full of desolation.
"From the beginning of all this, I had thought that one day when the truth came out, I would willingly accept any punishment, only with one request, not to let Pearl know about this."
"Ha!"
Rouge laughed, raising her eyebrows as she coldly questioned: "Fair? To me, to Tiana, is it fair?"
Jonas was silent; he had always been a selfish person, before and now too. He knew this was not fair to the Ford family who suffered for twenty years, yet he still wanted to preserve the initial goodness with Pearl.
"I’m sorry."
Rouge’s icy voice seemed extremely unfeeling: "I don’t want to hear your nonsense."
Jonas still chose silence, not planning to speak.
Rouge knew he insisted on her promising not to tell Pearl about this matter, only then would he disclose everything over the years and what that woman did, or reveal that woman.
Even if Jonas didn’t propose this request, she would do it, not out of kindness to him, but to give her lifelong pitiful sister some tenderness.
But she was unwilling to be coerced.
"Jonas, you seem to have no choice."
Saying this, Rouge stood up, looking at the tightly closed study room door: "I will now go and tell Pearl that you betrayed her, let me guess, in front of her, will you disclose everything without reservation?"
Upon hearing this, Jonas’ face turned as pale as snow: "Sis..."
Rouge paused, clearly provoked by this address: "Shut up, ever since I found out that Meredith Ford was your daughter, I’m no longer your sister."
Another long silence.
Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded.
