Chapter 649 Brady Kicks the Door
The more Brady thought about it, the angrier he got. He slammed the car door shut and stormed inside.
Meanwhile, Ethan and Violet were greeted by the club's manager, who, after learning the reason for their visit, immediately informed his boss.
As luck would have it, the boss was still there.
He had been working at this nightclub for over 20 years.
Even when the place was renovated, he stayed on.
Whether it was out of sentimentality or something else, he just never left.
When the manager told him that Evelyn's daughter was here, he didn't hesitate to have them brought upstairs.
The two followed the manager to the top floor of the club.
Philip Hernandez, now in his forties, saw Violet, who looked so much like Evelyn, and was instantly flooded with memories of his youth. His eyes reddened.
Evelyn had been the beauty queen of their high school.
Unfortunately, she had married into the Devereux family, which turned out to be a disaster.
She suffered for years and met a tragic end.
Her classmates often talked about her in their group chat, lamenting her fate. She was so smart and beautiful, she could have had a much better life, but...
Philip couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
However, it seemed Evelyn's daughter was doing well, having married into the wealthy Hall family.
That was some consolation, at least.
"Mr. Hernandez, hello. I'm Ethan Lawson, James Lawson's son. I'm here to learn about my father's relationship with Ms. Evelyn Patton." Philip was still lost in thought when Ethan spoke up.
Philip snapped back to reality and looked Ethan up and down. "You're James's son?"
Ethan nodded.
Philip shook his head with a wry smile. "What a coincidence. You two know each other?"
Ethan nodded again, assuming Philip was asking if he knew Evelyn.
He didn't realize Philip knew that Violet was Evelyn's daughter.
"Alright, if you want to know, I'll tell you." Since the people involved didn't seem to mind, Philip figured he might as well share what he knew.
Philip took a sip of his coffee and began, "Your father, James, came to Crestoria with some business partners. They liked the women here, so he brought them to my club. But back then, hardly anyone spoke English, so the girls couldn't really communicate with them. They weren't having much fun, so I came up with a solution. I brought in Evelyn to translate, and that's how your father met her."
As Philip spoke, he felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't asked her to translate, would her fate have been different?
"Mr. Hernandez, are you saying my father had a relationship with her?" Ethan asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.
So, his father and Evelyn did have a relationship.
Philip smiled ruefully. "Yes, your father pursued her for a long time. Eventually, they got together. Not many people knew about it—just me and Gerry."
"Later on, she got pregnant. I don't know the details, but your father wanted to take her back home. She refused and married Gerry instead. Your father left in a rage and never came back." Philip finished slowly.
Ethan and Violet were stunned.
So, the man in the photo was her biological father?
And Ethan was her brother?
Violet's mind was a tangled mess. She felt weak, her legs giving out beneath her. She started to collapse.
Ethan quickly caught her.
Just then, the office door burst open with a loud bang.
Brady, his face dark with anger, kicked the door open and stormed in.
