Chapter 268: There is an Illegitimate Daughter
Fiona's face turned pale with anger, and she was about to lose her temper when Alexander spoke again. "Let's find an elder to demonstrate, so that the younger generation, including us, can learn from it and avoid making mistakes, which would then become the subject of ridicule."
As soon as he had said that, the crowd immediately started discussing it.
"Alexander is asking the elders to take the lead. Isn't he and Ivy, Annabel's son and daughter-in-law?"
"Yes, but everyone knows that Annabel's son and daughter-in-law passed away."
"That's right, Annabel's twin sons, Jaxon and Evander, and daughter-in-law Calliope and Lyra all died in an accident on the same day."
"Not only them, even Evander's twin children also tragically died on the same day. They were only five or six years old at the time. It's really heartbreaking!"
"Really? Why have I never heard about this? What happened to them?"
"It was a car accident. Some say it was an accident, others say it was murder..."
"Murder? Who could be so cruel, not sparing such young children!"
Fiona didn't want to hear about such things. Foster, with a stern face, shouted, "Today is my grand madam’s birthday, why are you bringing all of these things up now? They are all my sad memories. By mentioning them, aren't you just rubbing salt in the wounds of an old man like me?"
Everyone fell silent.
However, Alexander continued, sighing deeply. "Ah, if only my father and second uncle were still alive, they would have set a great example for us. Unfortunately, they both passed away, and grandma doesn't have any other children or elders to lead us. How are we supposed to learn and avoid making mistakes?"
Alexander looked frustrated.
Someone whispered, "Is Alexander mentally challenged? How can he not even learn how to bow?"
"He's not mentally challenged, he has a psychological disorder. When he was eight years old, he witnessed the tragic deaths of his parents, uncle, aunt, and siblings. He had a breakdown at that time and refused to speak for a long time. It's a psychological disorder where he panics when faced with difficult situations..."
Who is this person? They explained Alexander's psychological state so accurately.
Alexander and Ivy couldn't help but look over.
Unexpectedly, the person speaking was Clint Parker, the chairman of the Parker Group.
When Clint Parker saw Ivy and Alexander, a warm smile appeared on his face.
The three Parker sisters, who were standing behind him, also smiled kindly.
Seeing the Parkers being so friendly, Ivy felt grateful from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she remembered that the Parkers had asked her to treat Clint Parker's paralyzed son.
Ivy had been busy with various matters, so she kept postponing it.
Thinking about this made her feel quite guilty. Thinking about herself and the three Parker sisters, Ivy, sent a message to Lily on WeChat.
"I'm sorry, I've been busy lately. After the birthday banquet, I will treat your father for you."
Lily quickly replied, "We know you're busy. We saw the video of you saving the children by killing the alligator."
Immediately after, another message was sent: "We brought Dad today, he is in the RV outside, taken care of by the caregiver."
Ivy: "Really? I will go treat him now."
Lily: "Ivy, you're so kind. I'll take you there now."
Ivy: "Alright."
Just as Ivy and Lily were about to leave, Fiona suddenly spoke up.
"Who says I don't have any other children? I have an illegitimate daughter, Hailey!"
The crowd started gossiping again.
"I always thought Annabel was a very virtuous woman, I didn't expect her to have an illegitimate daughter!"
"Hmph, she kept it a secret for so many years, and now she reveals her illegitimate daughter just because no one kowtowed to her on her birthday."
Regardless of how the crowd discussed this latest development, Fiona loudly said, "In this day and age, which man isn't unfaithful? Which woman remains chaste? Whose belly doesn't have a little dirty water? So, what if I have an illegitimate daughter? Thankfully, I have one, otherwise there wouldn't even be someone leading the birthday ceremony! Hailey, come here, kowtow and pay respects!"
