Chapter 755 It Doesn't Matter Where You Live
"It's true," Victoria said, her face flushed with embarrassment. "But at the time, I didn't feel comfortable telling anyone. After all, Jaxon, your son, was my classmate in elementary school. I was afraid it would tarnish your reputation. All these years, I endured silently, all for your sake…"
"All for me? You've truly been wronged," Beckett said expressionlessly.
"But what's a little sacrifice for your reputation?" Victoria wanted to get closer to Beckett but was hesitant.
Beckett waved his hand coldly and said, "Come, sit next to me."
"Okay!" Victoria sat down cautiously.
Beckett placed his hand directly on Victoria's chest.
The scene left all the reporters dumbfounded.
Victoria didn't understand the meaning behind Beckett's action. She thought about resisting but felt it was unnecessary. After all, she came here today to confirm her parentage. Since Beckett had been claiming to be her daughter's father, why bother dwelling on the details?
So she straightened up and coquettishly called out, "Beckett..."
"Shut up!" Beckett grabbed a disinfectant wet tissue from the coffee table and carefully wiped his hand.
Looking around, he noticed all the live cameras pointing at him, with Isadora pointing at Victoria and asking, "Whose child is your daughter?"
"Yours... she's yours!" Victoria forced herself to say, toughening up.
"You dare to lie?" Beckett's face turned cold. "If you don't confess honestly, I will make you regret it!"
"It... it's really yours..." Victoria insisted with her words, but her confidence wavered inside.
Beckett narrowed his eyes. He had intended to immediately reveal Victoria's secret, but seeing the multitude of live cameras, he thought it wouldn't hurt to delay it a bit.
Let everyone enjoy the drama a little longer. It wouldn't be a bad thing.
Isadora coquettishly pleaded, "Daddy, please don't make things difficult for Mommy. She has suffered a lot for me over the years. If you and Grandma Annabel, oh no, Aunt Annabel didn't break up, Mommy would never have brought me to the Ashford family to seek our roots. Now, Aunt Annabel has remarried, and you are single again, which is why Mommy brought me here to recognize you..."
Annabel, who had just reached the stairway, heard this and wanted to step forward to declare that she hadn't remarried and was still Beckett's wife, thus putting a stop to Victoria and Isadora's attempt to recognize their lineage.
But when she glanced back at Richard, she ultimately stopped herself.
With so many reporters present, once she took that step...
It's like completely breaking up with Richard.
Richard was also worried that Annabel would leave him, so he immediately reached out and firmly held onto Annabel, his eyes filled with love and reluctance.
Annabel sighed helplessly towards Beckett and then linked arms with Richard, returning to their room.
Beckett saw the scene at the staircase and felt a sharp pain in his heart. It seemed that there was no going back between him and Annabel.
"Dad, just accept us. Seeing you all alone now breaks my heart. Let mom and I live here with you," Isadora said in a sweet voice.
"Do you really want to be with me?" Beckett chuckled. "Do you want to be with me, or do you just want to live here?"
"Of course, we want to be with you," Victoria said. "After all, you are the child's father. As long as you're willing to accept us, it doesn't matter where we live."
Isadora quickly nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we don't mind where we live. Even if not in this mansion, living in the Ashford family estate would be the same."
"The Ashford family estate!" Beckett couldn't believe it. These mother and daughter hadn't even entered the Ashford family, yet they were already eyeing the Ashford family estate.
Deliberately making it difficult, he said, "The estate... I already gave it to Annabel and Richard as a wedding gift, and now I have nothing."
