Chapter 48: Do you like that man as your father?

"Changed? So you mean my father is now faithful and only likes my mother? Is he like you too?"

"What do you think?" Orland asked without answering the question.

Sean did not answer immediately. His eyes returned to Jesy and Jezy, who were lying weakly on the beds. He then turned toward Orland, but before a single word could leave his mouth, the door beside them was suddenly forced open from outside.

Crash!

Everyone in the room immediately turned toward it.

Two men with disheveled clothes and messy hair stood in front of the door. Sweat covered their faces as if they had just been running without stopping.

Dion Sexa and Hans Xin.

Both of them stared at Orland Hesh, who was sitting beside Sean.

"You really dared to leave us behind?" Dion Sexa asked.

He immediately grabbed Orland Hesh by the collar, forcing him to stand.

Orland only smiled at Dion with a meaningful look. Not a single word left his mouth.

"What are you doing?" Sean shouted.

Dion Sexa looked at his son with a frown.

"Let go of my father!" Sean shouted as he pushed Dion away with both of his small hands. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Dion unconsciously stepped back when Sean pushed him. He lowered his head, then stared at Sean in disbelief.

"Did I hear something wrong?"

Sean shook his head. He crossed his arms over his chest.

"I acknowledge him as my father now. Even though he isn’t my biological father, at least he’s more useful than you," Sean sneered.

Dion was still staring at Sean in disbelief.

Hans Xin, standing beside him, covered his stomach as he tried to hold back his laughter.

"Hey, Dion Sexa, look at your good son. You’ve only met him once, and he has already nearly destroyed your company. And now he’s even acknowledging your rival as his father. Hahaha!"

Hans finally burst out laughing as soon as the words left his mouth.

Orland Hesh placed a hand on Sean’s small shoulder while looking mockingly at Dion, just like Hans, who was still laughing at him.

"You!" Dion pointed at Orland’s nose. His other hand clenched into a fist, ready to throw a punch.

"If you dare hit him, I will never forgive you. I’ll tell Mom all the bad things you’ve done when you meet her later," Sean said.

"Hahaha! Dion, you deserve a son like that!" Hans laughed while hitting the wall beside him.

Dion’s face darkened at Hans’s words. He turned and glared at him.

"Hans Xin, have you forgotten about your good son?"

Hans quickly covered his mouth. The lips that had been laughing at Dion immediately snapped shut.

"You were nearly killed before you even met him. He uploaded an embarrassing photo of you on social media along with a bunch of curses. He even made you destroy your entire business empire with just a few words. And now... you still think your son is better than mine?" Dion asked.

"Am I wrong? At least my son doesn’t call another man his father."

Hans stepped closer and immediately grabbed Dion by the collar.

"What are you two doing?" Zahn exclaimed in dissatisfaction. "Do you think your faces, which already look bad enough, can somehow look even worse after you start fighting? Here?"

"Did you hear that? Your good son even said your face looks bad! Look at that huge nose of yours!" Hans said while pointing at Dion’s face.

Dion turned and looked at his son, ignoring Hans’s mockery.

"Zahn... don’t you realize that we look alike?" he asked.

Zahn frowned but did not answer. His hand unconsciously moved to feel his own face.

Kevin, standing beside Zahn, snorted.

"What are you doing here again? Causing trouble?" he asked. "I already told you, we don’t accept troublemakers here. Can’t you see our situation right now?"

Hans scratched his nose even though it wasn’t actually itchy, then looked at Kevin and Orland Hesh one after another before shaking his head.

Dion glanced at Kevin for a moment before sitting in the chair right beside Sean.

"Sit down. Dad wants to talk to you," he said as he pulled Sean’s arm, making him sit beside him. "Do you like that man as your father?"

"I don’t like him," Sean answered firmly. "But at least he’s more useful than you two."

"What has he given you? Hm? Did he give you shares in his company?"

Sean frowned at Dion’s question.

"You’re scaring him, Dion," Orland Hesh said. "Don’t you realize how dark—"

"Shut up!" Dion interrupted. He looked at Sean again. "I’ll ask you again. Do you like Orland Hesh as your father?"

Seeing Sean being cornered by Dion, Kevin stepped forward and walked toward him, followed by Zahn.

"What are you doing? How dare you shout at our brother?" Kevin said to Dion. "Sean alone almost managed to destroy your business overnight. Do you want to see what happens if the three of us work together to destroy your business this time?"

"Orland Hesh is at least better," Zahn added. "He’s far more useful than the two of you."

Hans Xin, who had almost sat down in his chair, stood up again. He pointed at his only son with Hana.

"What did you say? You said that rotten man is more useful than me?"

Zahn nodded without fear, even though Hans’s face had now turned red with anger.

Hans stepped forward, approaching Zahn and Orland.

"Zahn... has he brainwashed you? Hm? Do you know what horrible things he has been hiding all this time?"

He glared sharply at Orland.

"Do you know what he has been doing all this time? Do you know that he was also involved in that dirty incident seven years ago?"

Sean, Kevin, and Zahn looked at Hans with confusion.

"What do you mean?" Kevin asked. "I investigated all of you, and the cleanest person was Orland Hesh."

"The cleanest?" Hans sneered. "Orland, did you ask your aunt to cover everything up for you, even erase everything you did seven years ago?"

Orland frowned. His gaze immediately sharpened toward Hans Xin.

"Watch your mouth, Hans. I’m not like you and Dion Sexa, who act so ruthlessly just so the two of you can—"

"Tsk... if you hadn’t interfered back then and even made those parents—"

"HANS!!!"

Orland grabbed him by the collar.

BAM!

"Watch your mouth if you still want to live."
