Chapter 761 The Past
Shawn was wholly stumped. Jane, on the other hand, had gone as pale as a sheet, her face drained of all color.
Slowly turning to look at his wife, Shawn croaked, “Jane, tell me what exactly is going on here. What on earth is this all about?”
Verily, he couldn’t believe Callum’s words.
How could he possibly not be my son? Jane and I have always loved each other, never once getting into a row. Even after she lost her legs in a car crash, I have never once thought of abandoning her. I can’t believe that all the love I sincerely showered upon her would be repaid by her betrayal!
Jane burst into tears.
“Tell me! Tell me what is going on here!” Right then, Shawn’s eyes blazed scarlet, and he shook his wife’s shoulders vigorously as though he had lost his mind.
Usually, he would never treat her in such a manner. That very moment, however, he could no longer control himself.
Weeping bitterly, Jane admitted, “He’s right. He’s indeed not your biological son. I’ve wronged you and the Robinson family.”
When Shawn heard his wife confirming it, he finally snapped and collapsed onto the floor.
He felt his body going numb, his eyes brimming with disbelief. “Why? Just why? Why did you betray me when I’ve always treated you so well?”
He couldn’t understand why his wife betrayed him when he loved her wholeheartedly.
At the sight of her husband’s devastation, Jane sobbed all the more. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t betray you. It was your best friend, Calvin Sturgess, who forced himself on me. On that particular day, the two of you imbibed at home, and he seized the opportunity to take advantage of me. I resisted and cried for help, but you were so drunk that you were dead to the world. In the end, he overpowered me. I was afraid of losing you, so I didn’t dare tell you about it. Later, I discovered that I was pregnant. I wanted to abort the baby, but you found out about my pregnancy. Under the meticulous care of the entire family, I couldn’t find a chance to abort that child who shouldn’t have existed!”
Subsequently, she continued, “I’m sorry. I was wrong. It’s all on me. I should’ve told you about it at that time. Then, all this wouldn’t have happened today. I’m to blame!”
She kept apologizing and taking the blame upon herself.
Shawn continued sitting on the floor like a statue, entirely dumbfounded. At that moment, he finally understood why his wife had been adamant in opposing his idea of giving the Robinson family’s assets to Callum. It turned out that she knew that the latter wasn’t a descendant of the Robinson family.
“Uh…” All of a sudden, his eyes went wide, and he passed out.
“Darling!” Jane shouted upon seeing that, and she passed out too.
At the sight of it all, Spencer hurriedly rushed forward to check on them. Relief suffused him when he ascertained that they had only fainted from their emotional outburst.
Meanwhile, Jared heaved a sigh after hearing about the matters of the Robinson family. What a pity! A happy and loving family might be gone from here on out.
Contrarily, Callum wasn’t the least bit worried that his parents had passed out. Instead, he cackled maniacally and crowed, “Just die! You should all die! Only then will everything belonging to the Robinson family be mine!”
Falling prey to the madness that held him firmly in its grip, he then said to Curtis, “Curtis, kill everyone here! As long as I get my hands on the assets of the Robinson family, I’ll keep my word to you! The Robinson family has quite a number of priceless treasures from ancient tombs, and you can take anything you like!”
His eyes blazed with murder, and he wanted to finish off everyone there. With that, no one would know his true identity and stop him from inheriting the assets of the Robinson family.
“Sure!”
A bloodthirsty smile bloomed on Curtis’ face. He waved a hand, upon which the mansion door slammed shut with a bang.
At his confident expression, Jared chuckled lightly. “Are you sure you can kill us?”
