Chapter 675 Complete Rupture
Joe didn't know what was on Kaleb's mind, but he was furious and didn't bother to beat around the bush. He said directly, "Yes, Billy used your used cup for a paternity test! It's clearly written on it that you have no blood relationship."
Kaleb's tone noticeably sank. "When? Before you came to tell me the truth?"
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he woke up abruptly. "The last time you took us out to dinner was a deliberate plan? A deliberate conspiracy?"
The word "conspiracy" made Joe frown in displeasure.
"We didn't want you to be deceived! Over the years, how many people have pretended to be your child? In the past, you could handle it rationally, but this time, you seem utterly beguiled as if ensnared by Patricia, completely befuddled. Besides, we couldn't be sure. If we didn't confirm it, would we dare to tell you easily?"
As Kaleb listened, he suddenly laughed.
Just as Joe was puzzled, he suddenly grabbed Joe's collar and punched him in the face.
Caught off guard, Joe took the punch head-on.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Susan was stunned. After reacting, she immediately ran over and pushed Kaleb away forcefully.
"What are you doing? You've been friends for over twenty years. Is it worth fighting each other for a stranger? Kaleb, you know how Joe has treated you all these years! How can you bear to lay hands on him for a stranger?"
Seeing Joe's bleeding mouth, Susan felt extremely distressed and immediately pressed a tissue against it.
Kaleb's anger surged.
He was shaking with anger, wanting to vent by smashing things, but he held back. Veins popped on his forehead as he gritted his teeth. "For decades, you deliberately plotted against me? I've treated Billy like my own son all these years! Yet he deliberately sowed discord between me and Patricia."
Susan, not understanding the situation, laughed, "Patricia is your daughter? Are you confused? She's a fake, but you treat her like a treasure."
Kaleb, unable to bear it, angrily declared, "She is my biological daughter."
However, Susan found him too stubborn and laughed, "She's a fake! Margaret and your son are already dead."
Kaleb emphatically stated, "Listen carefully;She is my daughter, the offspring of Margaret and me! Linda is not Margaret! Billy deliberately falsified the DNA to sow discord between me and Patricia, and caused the death of Linda and her son. You know better than I do what he's been up to during this time."
Joe was dumbfounded. "What are you saying?"
Kaleb repeated, "Patricia is my daughter, my biological daughter! Billy took our things to test DNA, only to say she's not my daughter in the end! Ha..."
At this point, Kaleb sneered, "What was his intention? Don't you all know better than me? Remember what Billy said in the hospital that day? He admitted it himself! How come? Is it so soon that denial sets in?"
Joe, still in shock, stammered, "Patricia is your biological daughter?"
Kaleb nodded, approaching him. "From the DNA test, to taking you to see Linda and her son, to finally telling me the 'truth', everything was carefully planned by your son Billy! Even this staged fall into the water was part of his elaborate scheme. To use a fake death to escape punishment! As a Prime Minister, instead of seeking the truth, you're seeking personal revenge, trying to pervert justice! The Joe I know wouldn't be like this."
Joe stared at Kaleb, then suddenly pushed Kaleb back as if going crazy. "Get out, get out... From now on, I don't want to see you again..."
"Joe... Can't you be more rational about this? This matter..." Kaleb replied.
Everything was Billy's fault.
All done intentionally by him.
His daughter was innocent but framed.
Now she was going to jail.
How could he bear to leave?
Joe refused to listen, his voice rising in desperation and anger. "Get out... Billy is already dead unless you can make him stand in front of me alive and tell me himself. Otherwise... I will make sure Patricia pays the price... As the Prime Minister, I can't break the law! But I have many ways to ensure she has no resting place."
Kaleb looked sullen instantly, grabbing his collar, his eyes bloodshot. "You dare!"
Joe had already lost his reason, not listening to a word, pushing Kaleb away, shouting at the door, "Butler, escort the guest! No one from the Taylor family is allowed in anymore!"
Kaleb gritted his teeth. "Are you really going to break ties with me?"
Joe coldly looked at him. "Our relationship ended the moment Patricia pushed my son off the bridge. How you don't still think our families can be like before, do you?"
Kaleb stared into Joe's eyes, searching for a flicker of the man he once called a friend. But all he saw was indifference.
Their decades-long friendship was truly over.
No matter what he said, Joe would not spare Patricia.
The butler arrived at this moment.
Joe turned away, facing away from Kaleb, coldly saying, "Escort him away!"
The butler gestured to Kaleb. "Mr. Taylor, please don't make this difficult for me."
Kaleb, unwilling to give up, finally asked, "Are you really not going to spare Patricia?"
Joe didn't answer, nor did he look at him.
His silence meant consent.
Kaleb gave up completely, gritting his teeth, leaving the Hill family.
Martin and the other two had been waiting at the hotel, awaiting Kaleb's message.
Seeing his dejected expression, they knew the outcome without needing to ask, but Sebastian still wanted the details.
On his way back, Kaleb's anger had gradually subsided.
Now, recalling his impulsive actions, he regretted it and recounted the details to Sebastian.
"I shouldn't have lost my temper just now. I should have stayed calm!"
But when he learned that Billy had deliberately stirred up their father-daughter relationship, he couldn't help but lay hands on his good friend for the first time.
Sebastian patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry! Joe will definitely stand up for Billy. There hasn't been a single person who could sacrifice family for the greater good."
Kaleb, feeling desperate, asked, "What do we do now? Joe is determined to avenge Billy, and he's holding all the power. We can't do anything."
Sebastian fell into thought.
Martin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "If we can get Joe to see it with his own eyes, maybe there's a way to clear Patricia's name."
His words enlightened everyone.
Sebastian realized this and nodded in agreement. "Yes! Kaleb, can you lure him to the Neon Bridge? Let's stage a reenactment."
Kaleb hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly.
"Yes, I can..."
No matter what, he had to get Joe there.
