Chapter 592 My Father Is Not a Villain
A series of words shocked Evella.
It turned out that this was how she was born!
She was indeed the daughter of a rapist!
For a moment, she didn't know how to evaluate Zack.
Evella tried to digest this fact, taking a deep breath.
She asked, "Why didn't he come to see me earlier? Is it because of his identity as a rapist that he didn't dare to show up?"
After all, kidnapping and rape were crimes. Once Zack showed up, he would definitely be arrested.
"He didn't come to see you because he wasn't sure if you were his child," Richard spoke with difficulty, "Your mother was not only violated by Zack, so he wasn't sure if you were his child."
Upon hearing this, Evella clenched her fingers, her eyes filled with anger and sympathy for her mother. She said, "So, those despicable bastards were not punished later; they just got away with it like that, right?"
Richard said, "Later, the Remington family reported to the police. Things got big, but those thugs had all escaped before the police arrived, and your dad had also escaped."
Evella's chest heaved, she said, "So those despicable bastards were never caught by the police."
At these words, a cold arc formed at the corner of Richard's lips.
He said, "They were indeed not caught by the police, but they are all dead."
Evella was stunned, asking, "How did they die?"
Richard said, "Zack killed them."
What!
A hint of shock flashed in Evella's eyes.
Just then, Richard said, "Although Zack was a thug, he never bullied the weak, but those thugs used despicable means to make him carry the blame of a rapist. Naturally, Zack couldn't let them go like that."
"And your dad had known Elizabeth before, and they had some interaction. He killed those thugs who violated Elizabeth, which can be considered as avenging her."
Upon hearing this, Evella was stunned again and asked, "What interaction did my dad and my mom have?"
"After Elizabeth graduated from high school, she went to a bar with a few classmates. Zack saw her, and he helped her when a drunkard harassed her," Richard said and sighed, "During Zack's youthful period, he fell in love with Elizabeth at first sight. But he knew he wasn't worthy of Elizabeth, so he buried that admiration deep in his heart. However, Zack never expected that those thugs would target her and violate her!"
Listening to this, Zack seemed to be a man with love and righteousness.
It was just fate playing tricks.
Evella fell silent for a moment and then asked, "Why did you suddenly come to find me for him?"
Richard said, "Zack told me before he passed away that after he succeeded in his career, he had always been paying attention to the Remington family. He secretly visited Elizabeth in the nursing home."
"Later, when Zack found out that the Remington family had found their lost daughter, he had someone investigate your background. After seeing your photo, he felt that you resembled him."
"He had always wanted to come back to the country to see you in secret and have a DNA test with you, but the unexpected accident thwarted his plans."
"He didn't want to have any regrets, so he asked me to come back and do a DNA test with you. If you are really Zack's daughter, he wanted me to take good care of you and Elizabeth."
Thinking of Zack's request before he died, Richard's eyes slightly reddened.
Evella felt equally uncomfortable in her heart, her eyes also slightly red, and she did not know what to say for a moment.
Although she had never met Zack, they were connected by blood.
Originally, she hated him. But now, knowing the mistakes Zack had made, which were also forced upon him, Evella felt a sense of relief.
If others mentioned Zack again, she wouldn't feel ashamed or angry because Zack was not a villain!
Richard calmed his emotions a bit and handed Evella a tissue, saying, "Don't be sad, Evella; from now on, you are my niece and my goddaughter."
Evella was stunned, saying, "Goddaughter?"
"Sorry, we can't acknowledge each other in front of others yet, because Zack didn't want others to know about your existence," Richard explained.
He added, "Firstly, although Zack is dead, the Bilian Group still exists. Once the world knows about the mistakes he made, it will affect Bilian Group's reputation."
"Secondly, the business world is treacherous. Zack offended many people during his lifetime, and now that he's gone, he doesn't want those people to target you."
Evella understood.
Since Zack had passed away, whether or not they acknowledged each other didn't matter to her.
"Evella, your dad has a lot of real estate under his name, as well as shares in Bilian Group, which are all under my name now. Besides the shares of the group, the other assets will be transferred to your name in a couple of days," Richard said.
Upon hearing this, Evella refused without hesitation and said, "I don't want it."
Richard said with a smile, "Evella, if you don't want what's yours, I can't take it with me either."
Evella remained silent, feeling like she was in a dream.
She suddenly found out who her biological father was and then suddenly received a huge inheritance.
Would her luck suddenly turn bad in the future?
At that moment, the waiter started serving the dishes.
"Let's eat," Richard said.
Evella responded, "Richard."
"You can call me godfather," Richard said.
Evella was stunned, saying, "Even when no one's around?"
Richard smiled. "Practice a bit first so you won't feel awkward in front of others later."
Evella bit her lip, saying, "You're too young; I can't say it."
Calling Richard uncle was fine, but calling him godfather felt a bit awkward.
"Actually, Zack and I have a six-year age difference," Richard said.
"No, Richard. You look like you're only twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Calling you brother would be more appropriate," Evella said.
Richard raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then why not just call me brother?"
Evella laughed and said, "But it would be strange to call my uncle brother."
Richard's gaze softened as he affectionately patted her head. "Alright, let's eat."
"Okay." Evella obediently agreed and started eating.
As Richard watched Evella's gentle and quiet profile while eating, he thought about the events of the day, his expression becoming slightly more serious.
He asked, "Evella, are you dating Howard? Have the relationships between the Hamilton family and the Remington family been settled?"
Swallowing the food, Evella considered it for a moment and decided to be honest with Richard.
She answered, "I'm not really dating Howard; we're just pretending to be a couple."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Richard's eyes. He asked, "Why pretend to be a couple?"
Evella's face fell, and she said, "It's all becasue of my grandmother She's been trying to set me up on blind dates, and it's been really frustrating. Then Howard mentioned that the Hamilton family was also pressuring him to get married, so he suggested that we pretend to be a couple to deceive our families."
So, that was the reason!
Richard narrowed his eyes and said, "So, Howard doesn't really like you."
