Chapter 206 Illegitimate Son
Charles nodded.
“Who is this third person?” Caleb asked with great concern.
Charles replied slowly, “I promised him that I would never reveal his identity.”
Caleb knitted his brows. “Why?”
“Because he’s my friend, but…” Charles trailed off.
“Why do you still want to hide it after what happened to Vivian?” Caleb questioned.
“Caleb, I’m even sadder than you after Vivian becomes like this. When I left, she reminded me to go back and attend her wedding!” Charles said in a deep voice.
Caleb was stumped.
Kathleen asked, “Charles, who exactly is that man?”
“Felix Morris has an illegitimate son,” Charles revealed coldly.
Kathleen was shocked that Felix actually had an illegitimate son.
“His name is Finn.” After a pause, Charles went on, “He’s the man Vivian is in love with.”
“There’s no need to delete all the information even though he’s the illegitimate son of Felix, isn’t it?” Kathleen pointed out, stunned.
“Finn’s mother is Lindsay Turner, a world-famous celebrity thirty years ago. She later married into the royal family.” Charles paused for a moment and continued, “But she was already pregnant when she got married.”
Kathleen was astounded.
Charles went on, “After Finn was born, he was rejected by the rest of the royal family. For the sake of his future, Lindsay sent him to Pollerton to study. That was how we knew each other.”
“Then what?” Caleb asked coldly.
“Then, Vivian, the belle in the community of international students, was the crush of many men, including Finn and I. However, she likes Finn, so I didn’t pester her and just silently watched over her. It wasn’t until my adoptive parents asked me to come back that I left Pollerton. We haven’t been in touch since then,” explained Charles.
“Where’s the proof?” demanded Caleb.
Charles threw him a flash drive. “There’s a recording of them seeing me off back then, which can prove that I’ve left Pollerton upon graduating from the university. At that time, Vivian was still doing fine. In addition, you can go look up my itinerary over the years. Other than the last time I went to Pollerton with Kate, I’ve never been there ever.”
Grabbing the flash drive, Caleb asked expressionlessly, “Why did Finn do this?”
Charles shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Kathleen surmised, “Could it be that he felt that Vivian was a stumbling block to his future? For example, he needed to accept a blind date or a marriage arranged by the royal family in order to gain their approval, but Vivian got pregnant at the time, so he—”
Caleb cut her off with a gloomy face, “If that was the case, I’ll definitely not let him off!”
Charles said calmly, “Finn will be in Jadeborough tomorrow.”
“Why is he here for?” Kathleen asked, surprised.
“To attend a meeting the day after tomorrow,” explained Charles.
A meeting?
“Is it the press conference of Macari Group’s Flobury?” Kathleen asked slowly.
“I’m not sure about that,” Charles answered.
It must be!
Kathleen was certain about it.
There would be no major events in Jadeborough two days later, except the press conference for Flobury.
She even overheard a discussion about it earlier on the set that day.
It was no wonder the Stewart family would secretly do something about it.
The thought filled Kathleen with anger.
“Does that mean that I’m about to see him soon?” Caleb clenched his fists.
The rage in him seemed to be out of his control.
“Charles, did Finn tell you anything?” asked Kathleen curiously.
Charles shook his head. “He hasn’t contacted me since our last call, but since he’s here, it won’t be that easy for him to leave.”
“I’ll go there that day,” Caleb declared in a deep voice.
Charles shot him an indifferent look. “Anyway, what happened to Vivian has nothing to do with me. I hope you’ll stop pestering Kathleen because of this. If you dare to continue pestering her, I will definitely not let you off!”
Kathleen was his Achilles’ heel.
Caleb gave Kathleen a solemn look. “So you already knew what I wanted to do, didn’t you?”
Kathleen nodded.
Caleb sneered at himself. “I really didn’t expect it.”
“So don’t look down on women,” Kathleen stated indifferently.
Caleb smiled meaningfully. “I didn’t. In fact, I admire you even more now.”
Kathleen looked at him blandly.
“You are indeed different from the rest. I have something to tell you too, Kathleen. I’m serious about you. Regardless of what my motive was in the beginning, my feelings for you are real.”
Kathleen was stunned.
“I won’t give up,” Caleb declared.
Kathleen had a cold look in her eyes.
Caleb rose to his feet. “Mr. Johnson, thank you for telling the truth. I’ll get to the bottom of it. As for Kathleen and I, I’ve expressed myself clearly. My pursuit of her has nothing to do with revenge. I will continue to pursue her.”
Charles narrowed his eyes.
“Goodbye then.” Caleb turned to leave.
Kathleen and Charles exchanged looks.
“Don’t believe the words of such a man. He has other motives from the very beginning and is so fickle-minded. You shouldn’t go out with this kind of man.”
Kathleen replied awkwardly, “What are you talking about? I don’t like him. No matter how fickle he is, it has nothing to do with me.”
Charles furrowed his brows. “You’re still young. Although you become popular right after your debut, you still have to maintain it.”
“Don’t worry. I know what I want better than anyone,” Kathleen assured.
Charles nodded.
“I’ll go check on Samuel again,” Kathleen said, worried.
“Aren’t you going to eat?” Charles frowned.
“I will after that.” Kathleen turned to go upstairs.
Charles muttered to himself, “I kind of know why she doesn’t like Caleb now.”
That man had a place in her heart all the time.
She is still into him!
When Kathleen was upstairs, he heard Samuel’s phone ringing.
She answered it. “Hello.”
“Ms. Johnson, how’s Mr. Macari?” asked Tyson.
“He’s still unconscious. Why? Is there something wrong?”
“The reclamation project has attracted the attention of many people. Many have come to Jadeborough, waiting to participate in the launching of Flobury and get in touch with those people above. If Mr. Macari isn’t present, I’m afraid that those people will be ahead of the game.”
“Calm down. I’m still here, remember?” said Kathleen.
Tyson stiffened.
“Tyson, have you forgotten that I am the biggest shareholder of Macari Group?” Kathleen reminded.
Tyson was stunned at once.
Only then did he remember that Samuel had transferred all his shares to Kathleen when they divorced.
In other words, Kathleen was the boss.
“What they care about is that there will be chaos if something happens to Samuel, who has no heir, don’t they? Now that I’m here, what else would they dare to say?”
