Come on Daddy!

Chapter 130 Don't You Want to See Me at All

Cruz plucked up the courage to ask, but his heart trembled.

The Lee family lived up to its reputation. They were all powerful and just one glance was enough to crush an ordinary person.

"What do you mean?" Francis frowned.

"They have a great relationship." Hallie put her hand over Francis' hand to calm him down. "What are you trying to say?"

"We heard that CEO Bright is involved with a woman in City H and this woman has a five-year-old child," Cruz said, reaching his main point.

"What? What did you say?" Francis frowned as he listened. He couldn't believe his son would do such a thing.

He announced not long ago that he was married, yet now he had an affair. If news got out, how would people view the Lee family? The image of HY Group was bound to be affected, causing fluctuations in the stock price.

So this was why they didn't want to have a wedding? Because their relationship deteriorated a long time ago?

Although Francis couldn't control his second son entirely, he didn't want to believe that his son would be a bastard and do such a thing.

"Do you know what you are talking about? If you are not telling the truth, then it is slander. We can sue you for it!" Hallie's was no longer gentle and looked stern.

"Do you have evidence?" Francis raised his eyebrows slightly. Only evidence could convince him.

"There are photos here as proof." Cruz hurriedly took out an envelope from his inner pocket and presented it with both hands.

The butler who stood on the side took the envelope and gave it to Francis.

Francis glanced at Cruz before taking out the photos inside.

He looked at them one by one while his face looked calm and emotionless.

Hallie took the photos and glanced at them one by one. She also appeared calm, not giving anyone a chance to read her thought from her face.

Cruz didn't dare to breathe. He only dared to observe their expressions from the corner of his eye and contemplate, but they were emotionless so there was nothing he could guess.

Francis took the photo and threw it on the coffee table with a loud bang.

"Where did these photos of yours come from? Are they true?" Francis pointed to the photos on the coffee table. The first one was Bright and Rose. There were also photos of the two holding hands with Doris.

"I dare not deceive Mr. Francis. These are all true. CEO Bright goes to City H every weekend to spend time with this woman named Rose. That child is her five-year-old daughter named Doris. She is a single mother, and her husband passed away a long time ago. She met CEO Bright when she took over the HY Group's City J Theater project, and then…they got together." Cruz was frightened and hurriedly told the truth.

"I am a nobody. I dare not slander CEO Bright even with great courage. It's a big thing. I am a reporter, but I dare not publish this. After careful consideration, I finally had the courage to visit and inform you, Mr. Francis."

"You want money?" When Francis heard him mention that he was a reporter, Francis guessed that he wanted to use this information to get benefits.

These photos would be banned by Bright as soon as he published them, so he came here to get some benefits. The important thing was that Bright dare does not do anything to his father.

This was a really good move.

"I dare not." Cruz shook his head like a rattle.

His only goal was to stay alive, so he dared not ask for money.

Besides, the person who entrusted him to do this had already given him a lot of money, otherwise, there was no way he would such a thankless job.

"Damian, give him a tip," Hallie said to the housekeeper.

"Thank you, Mr. Francis and Ms. Hallie." Since they wanted to pay him, then he would accept it.

"You deserve it," Hallie said coldly. "You got what you deserve, so I don't need to remind you what you should do, right?"

"I understand," Cruz said very well. "I've never been to the Lee family's place, nor have I ever seen these photos. I don't know anything."

Hallie nodded and glanced at the butler, signaling him to lead Crux out.

"You come with me." The butler led him out.

After seeing Crux being led away, Francis became angry. He slammed the table a few times that the teacup moved.

"This bastard lied to us like this! He got together with a single mother, and the child is five years old?"

"We can't judge the situation from only his angle. We'll know once we get Bright and Rose to come back. You'll only hurt your body by being anxious." Hallie collected the photos on the coffee table. "Although he has photos as evidence, he is an outsider. We should trust our child."

"You always favour them." Francis sighed. "Call Bright and ask him to bring Rose back. I look forward to hearing what they will say."

Hallie had no choice but to pick up the landline and call Bright.

Bright was in a meeting and saw that the call was from the landline at home, so he had to pause the meeting for five minutes.

"Bright, I am auntie." Hallie first stated her identity.

"What do you need? I'm in a meeting." Bright leaned against the metal fence in the corridor, looking into the distance through the glass wall.

"Your dad asked you to bring Rose home." Hallie conveyed Francis' meaning.

"Is there a family dinner today? Or is there an important holiday?" Bright thought for a while but didn't think of anything special about today. "If there isn't anything else, I need to continue the meeting."

"Then I won't bother you anymore. But remember to bring Rose home after work. Your dad's health has been poor recently. You and Rose should go home and see him. Try to get along with him, okay?" Hallie spoke very politely and softly to Bright.

"I will try my best." Bright hung up the phone then raised his fist and tapped on his forehead a couple of times with the back of his hand.

Rose was now in City H, so he needed to buy her a plane ticket. He found one that would allow her to get to the Lees' house just in time for dinner.

Bright had to call Rose. "Are you busy?" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Recently, I'm busy with a project." Rose rubbed her sore neck. "What's up?"

"My dad wants to see you," Bright said without hesitating.

"Your dad wants to see me?" Rose had a hunch that there was nothing good about it. "Why does he suddenly want to see me? Just tell him that I'm very busy with work or that I'm on a business trip."

"My dad's health has been poor recently. As his son and daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be a little unreasonable if we don't go back to see him?" Bright reminded her to do her duties as a daughter-in- law of the Lee family. "Besides, we haven't seen each other for half a month, so you don't want to see me at all?"

"I..." Rose paused. What was he talking about? Why would she miss him?

But she didn't dare to say this to Bright – it might hurt his self-confidence.

"What's wrong with you? Do you miss me?" Bright began to ask her persistently.
