Chapter 35
That was why Anthony insisted on having Samson back to the Hoffman family.
Presley was stunned completely, and his expression turned solemn in an instant.
When Quincey, who was at the side, heard the name, she went forward to hit him as though she had lost her mind.
“You’re such a rebellious son! How dare you bring back that man’s child? He’s that woman’s son, and he was born after she divorced your dad! He isn’t a part of the Hoffman family! Are you out of your mind? It’s none of our business whether he’s dead or not. I can’t believe that you’re even raising his child for him. You’re so ungrateful!” Quincey exclaimed.
Quincey gritted her teeth in fury. She could not calm down even when she was facing her own son.
Back then, Presley had an affair with Quincey before he divorced his ex–wife, Linda,
Quincey was pregnant for one month, and she pressured Linda to give up her position as Presley’s wife. Hence, Linda divorced him without hesitation.
Then Linda had gone abroad after the divorce. In the third month after the divorce, her friends saw her on the street with a baby bump, and she was already pregnant for four months.
She was pregnant before Quincey.
After knowing that, Presley regretted it and went abroad to look for her. However, Linda refused to go back, and Presley was regretful.
It was too late, though.
He came back and married Quincey, and the latter gave birth to Anthony. Only then did their lives slowly get back on track.
For Quincey, the existence of Austin and Linda was a thorn in her heart.
It was also proof of Quincey’s disgraceful past.
Linda named her son Austin, and Presley named Quincey’s son Anthony.
The relationship between them was more than just an unspoken blood relation.
Quincey had been upset by this for years.
was so angry
But now, her own son had brought the grandson of Presley’s ex–wife back to reunite with their family. Quincey was so
that she almost lost her mind.
Before the sound of her scoldings attracted the attention of the people outside, Anthony finally reached out to grab her hand to keep her under control, his eyes deep.
“Mom that’e annunk. Da unui want quaninna to hear the Hoffman family’e erandal? Anthony questioned.
Chapter 35
With just one sentence, Quincey fell silent instantly. Her lips trembled, and she could not utter a word.
It was a disgraceful scandal, indeed.
If Samson’s identity was exposed, everyone would know the dirty laundry of the Hoffman family in the past, and people would know that Quincey was actually a homewrecker.
She looked at Presley with a terrified look in her eyes. Presley wore a serious expression, and there was a shadow looming over him. No one could tell his emotions.
Presley slowly raised his head and looked at Anthony with his murky eyes. “He’s… dead?”
Anthony’s face darkened. His thin lips pressed into a straight line. Clenching his fists and enduring the grief, he nodded.
Anthony met Austin when he was studying abroad.
At that time, due to the Hoffman family’s high standards and stringent requirements, Anthony was not allowed to express any unnecessary emotions.
Austin was bright and lively. They looked similar, so Austin felt they were fated to meet each other. As such, he was exceptionally close to Anthony.
Then, they became very good friends.
Until Anthony went to Austin’s house and saw a photo of Linda. The same photo was also in Presley’s study.
All of a sudden, he found out Austin’s identity.
Anthony had mixed feelings, but he felt guilty, too.
Now, Austin’s only child was still alive. He just could not bring himself to ignore him.
Holding his head which seemed to be full of signs of aging, Presley let out a sigh as he hid his emotions deep down.
He stood up and looked down at Samson, who was standing timidly beside Rosalie. There was a complicated look in his
gaze.
“The guests are still waiting outside. Let’s go out!” he said.
His words made Rosalle feel hopeful.
Quincey’s expression changed, and she looked up abruptly.
‘I disagree. This woman is promiscuous. No one knows whose child he is. I think we can end this banquet. We can’t just le him have the shares so easily!” exclaimed Quincey.
Presley’s expression was grim as he cast his apathetic gaze upon her.
With only one glance, Quincey fell into a panic.

She went silent for a few seconds.
Presley walked over and patted Quincey’s hand. His voice was full of profound implication and a hint of coldness as he said, “Let’s go out. You’re the lady of the household. How can you not show up?”
He glanced at Rosalie, who was on the ground and looking hopeful. Without a trace of warmth, he said, “Have the doctor come here later, and we’ll know if he’s a child of the Hoffman family.”
Before Rosalie could relax, she froze.
Presley was still skeptical.
Quincey glared at Rosalie fiercely before she left. She wished she could rip this bitch into pieces.
‘She even dared to get me involved in her scheme? Quincey thought.
As soon as they left, Rosalie could not stop crying. She looked at Anthony with a pitiful look and sobbed, “Anthony, Mrs. Hoffman won’t let me and Samson go. What should I do now?”
Anthony’s deep gaze fell upon her face for a few seconds. “Don’t worry. Dad will protect you.”
If that child was indeed Austin’s son, Presley would not just sit still and do nothing.
Rosalie lowered her head sadly, and her shoulders trembling slightly. Covering her face weakly, she sobbed.
“What happened today was so sudden. Did someone do it on purpose? It’s Genevieve. It must be Genevieve. I saw her smiling maliciously. She must have come for something else. It must be her!” said Rosalle.
She thought, ‘Genevieve wants to ruin my life when I’m at my best.
It meant a different thing when Samson’s father changed from Anthony to Austin.
Anthony frowned, and a glint of coldness flitted across his eyes.
“Don’t speak nonsense without evidence,” said Anthony.
His tone was frigid. Then he turned around and walked out indifferently.
“Anthony…” Rosalie bit her lower lip unwillingly and took a deep breath as she stood up.
Finally, her plan worked out without mishap.
She managed to keep her glory and wealth.
Just as she took Samson out, she found that everyone was talking to each other in a low voice and whispering something.
Presley’s face was grim. He was looking down at the phone handed over by the server, and his face grew grimmer.

Chapter 35
There was a dead silence.
She walked over unconsciously, picked up the phone, and saw the photos and titles posted on the internet. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her face turned as white as a sheet.
The title wrote: [Arden Dance Group hereby clarifies that Ms. Stewart isn’t a professional dancer from our dance troupe. She had been a janitor for three years and was dismissed for destroying our dancer’s family and threatening the dancer with her pregnancy.]
Arden Dance Group had made an official response to the previous event.
Besides, they even stated the reason of her dismissal.
She was dismissed because she had destroyed the family of the dance troupe’s dancer and even threatened the dancer with her pregnancy.
Rosalie, who was relieved initially, suddenly hit rock bottom emotionally. She felt uneasy in an instant.
It felt as though she was walking on a tightrope and almost falling to the ground. Every corner was full of danger.
A chill traveled up her spine as if it would spread to every part of her body.
It seemed that someone around her was whispering, “I thought she was a dancer from Arden Dance Group. I was wondering why I hadn’t seen her performance before. It turned out that she was merely a janitor!”
“She’s so shameless. So, she has always been a mistress. Now, she even has something to do with the Hoffman family!” someone added.
“Is this child Anthony’s son then? Is the Hoffman family taking him in?” someone questioned.
“That child is certainly not a Hoffman, Can’t you read that she was dismissed after being a mistress and getting pregnant?” another person chimed in,
