NovelXXXChapter 315 Just as Citrine had guessed, a few days later, Dick posted a statement online denying the fraud allegations. He even pushed forward one of his employees to take the bland confess to the crime.
With that, Dick neatly sidestepped any prison time.
When Sawyer heard about the Glenwood family's latest , he rushed straight to their estate to find Jeanette.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut the Glenwood family lived in a gated neighborhood, and Sawyer couldn't get past security. So he simply waited outside, hoping to catch her. Evening had already set in when he finally spotted Jeanette returning home. She was walking arm-in-arm between Dick and Aline, the three of them laughing together as if they were the perfect little family.
Sawyer stood frozen, watching as his ex-wife, Aline, rose up on tiptoe and planted a kiss on Dick's cheek.
His daughter, Jeanette, looked from Dick to Aline, her face flushed with embarrassment as she pressed her hands to her cheeks. "Con, Dad, Mom, get a room! That's so embarrassing." Dad? Jeanette just called Dick "Dad." A sharp pain stabbed through Sawyer's chest. His expression darkened as he strode over and, without warning, punched Dick square in the jaw.
"You sick bastard!" Sawyer's eyes were red with fury. "She's my daughter, and you let her call you 'Dad'? What the hell is wrong with you?" He barely cared about Aline anymore, but Jeanette was his flesh and blood. Even if she'd chosen to live with Aline, she still carried the Iverson name-there was no way Sawyer would give up on his own daughter.
Face grim, Sawyer grabbed Jeanette and pulled her to his side.
"Jeanette, you're coming hwith me. Dick's a deranged con-man—if you stay here, he'll ruin you." Dick rubbed his sore jaw, his face twisted with anger. "What are you talking about? Who are you calling a con- man? Everything online has already been cleared up." Sawyer let out a bitter laugh. "Cleared up? Do you think I'm an idiot? You really think finding sscapegoat to take the fall fixes everything?" Dick just shrugged, a smug smile on his lips. "So what if I did? Listen, Jeanette is my daughter now. Forget about taking her away." With that, he reached out, trying to pull Jeanette back from Sawyer.
Sawyer's laugh was cold and hollow. "I'm her real father. What right do you have to fightfor her?" "Fight?" Dick's mouth curled into a mocking grin. He turned to Jeanette. "Well, Jeanette, what do you say? Do you want to go with him?" Sawyer opened his mouth to speak, but before he could get a word out, Jeanette yanked her hand free from his grip.
He stared at her in disbelief. "Jeanette, I'm your father." But Jeanette darted behind Dick, looking at Sawyer with a cold, almost unfamiliar gaze. "Mr. Iverson, Dick is my real dad now. You're just my ex-father." Sawyer had only been her dad for a little while, after all. It was never by blood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeanette had wanted to tell Sawyer the truth many times, but Aline had always warned her not to-saying it would only make trouble.
"Mr. Iverson? Ex-father?" Sawyer's whole body shook.
He looked at Jeanette, a storm raging behind his eyes. "How can you be so heartless? After everything I've done for you all these years?"
Jeanette didn't flinch. "You were good to me, I guess. But I'm tired of being poor want to be rich, and that's that." She shot him a look of utter contempt. She practically shouted, "My dad he can giveeverything. With him, I can be the kind of girl who doesn't have to worry about money ever again."
"But you, Sawyer, what do you have? What can you give me? Should end up like Clifford-working part-tjobs everywhere, embarrassing myself just to make ends meet?"
Dick ruffled Jeanette's hair affectionately, then threw Sawyer a taunting look. "You bean that, O M e Sawyer? You're nothing but a loser now-you can't give Jeanette anything. How dare you want her to follow you and suffer?"
