Chapter 1033 - 531: Extra Story: I Want to Be Married to You 4
"Robinson, don’t slander me and my brother; we’ve always been close since childhood and never had the kind of relationship you suggest.""Alice, are you afraid we’ll bring up your affair with Chester?" Miranda spoke up at this moment.
Alice gritted her teeth, "I don’t want to listen to your nonsense here... Aunt PA, show them out."
"Yes."
Aunt PA stepped forward.
Yet at this moment, Miranda stood up, "No need for you to escort us, we can leave by ourselves."
Robinson also stood up, maintaining a cold sneer, "Alice, we can’t be sure if Chester is truly a Robinson, but your daughter Rachel... she bears quite a resemblance to Chester, doesn’t she? You say you’ve pursued Howard Geoffrey endlessly to no avail, never having loved another man, then how come you suddenly have a daughter? The more I look, the more Rachel seems like Chester... tell me, could it be that your relationship with Chester changed, and that’s why Chester deserted you and Rachel, leaving you alone at Robinson’s?"
Alice’s face had already turned white; she struggled to remain calm, gritting her teeth and replied, "Robinson, do you know that defamation is a serious crime?"
Undaunted, Robinson said, "You know whether I’m defaming you or not... Alice, I just want to tell you that if you’re willing to surrender the Robinson family’s assets, I’ll preserve the family’s reputation. Whether Chester is a Robinson or not, your affair with Chester counts as scandal, and I don’t wish for the century-old reputation of the Robinson family to be ruined. I can even offer you ten percent of the Robinson family’s assets, but if you’re unwilling or believe there’s nothing to hide, then prepare for me to take this matter to the judges. The judge will inevitably demand a DNA test to verify Chester’s inheritance rights with my late brother... Imagine, Chester, a world-renowned doctor and reportedly the secret president of ’QCS’, if he truly is my brother’s son, your affair with Chester will become a worldwide scandal. But if he’s not my brother’s son, then you’ll be the joke... think carefully, will you guard this wealth or protect both yours and Chester’s precarious reputation?"
"What should we do?" Aunt PA paced around the villa, anxiously addressed Alice, "Miss, if Robinson exposes this, not only your and Mr. Chester’s reputation will be damaged, but Robinson may also take control of the family assets."
By the Robinson family’s tradition spanning centuries, the family estate is always passed to the eldest legitimate son; if Chester is not David Robinson’s biological son, then the estate should be entrusted to Robinson’s management, leaving Alice with only a small portion.
"Aunt PA, stop pacing, it’s making me more restless." Alice sat on the couch, supporting her forehead as she spoke.
Aunt PA nodded quickly, "Miss, I’m just worried for you."
"Don’t worry, I’ll find a solution." Alice reassured.
Aunt PA continued, "Miss, why don’t we inform Mr. Chester? Your uncle is targeting the family estate because Mr. Chester is not around... if Mr. Chester were here, he wouldn’t dare bully you, and Mr. Chester would certainly have a way to address the current issues."
Alice straightened her posture, calmly looked at Aunt PA, and said, "Aunt PA, I’ve told you, I can no longer rely on him, I’m no longer with him."
Aunt PA furrowed her brow, "Even if a lawyer Mr. Chester hired helps you win the lawsuit, if Robinson reveals Mr. Chester’s lineage and exaggerates your relationship with him, the lawsuit will ultimately lose, and your reputations damaged... this matter isn’t just yours alone, it’s also Mr. Chester’s concern, you should let him know."
"But I don’t want to call him..." Alice slowly lowered her head, "You don’t understand, he doesn’t want me to have any connection with him."
"That’s what you think..." Aunt PA promptly said, "I felt Mr. Chester’s eyes still showed care when he visited last time."
Alice shook her head, "Actually, the last time he came was for Rachel’s custody. He said he could help me win against my uncle if I gave up Rachel’s custody rights."
Aunt PA widened her eyes in shock, "Could it be that Mr. Chester agreed to help you win the lawsuit because you gave up Rachel’s custody..."
Before Aunt PA could finish, Alice interrupted, "No, I didn’t agree with him. I went to T City just to ask him to help me one last time."
