Chapter 394: Chapter 393: How far have you got with her?
Just then, a text message popped up on the cell phone: How’s it going? Has the test result come out yet?
It was sent by Samuel Richardson.
Phoebe Belmont moved her fingers slightly without replying and put the cell phone into her pocket.
She stood up, her legs shaking a bit due to nervousness.
She walked to the railing, her expression zoning out.
It just so happened that Joshua Thompson walked by, pausing as he noticed her, then glancing suspiciously at the obstetrics and gynecology sign nearby.
Phoebe continued to stare at the railing without noticing Joshua Thompson.
Joshua quickened his pace and walked past her, his face somewhat unpleasant.
Daniel Thompson wouldn’t be so clueless as to impregnate Phoebe Belmont, right?
At his age, it would be disgraceful to the company and the family if he still had a child.
Joshua had no mood to drive, so he caught a random taxi and headed to the Jenkins family’s.
He didn’t stop there and just called Daniel Thompson directly.
“Hey, Joshua …” Daniel was thrilled to receive a call from his third son.
Ever since Ivy returned, this son had barely interacted with him, treating him like an invisible man. So, receiving a call now made Daniel overjoyed.
He had many sons, but only a few were close to him.
These days, only Nicholas Thompson had visited him, and he came with Gabriel. He knew that it must have been Gabriel who said some good words about him.
Normally, his second son didn’t have a close relationship with him, but he listened to Gabriel the most. If Gabriel said to come and see him, he would definitely come.
Now that he received a call from Joshua, Daniel was in a good mood.
“Daniel Thompson, I’m asking you something, answer me honestly.”
Josua’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
Listening to this warning-laden remark, Daniel suppressed his anger: “You little brat, you can’t even call me Dad? Are you going to oppose me for a lifetime?”
Anger boiled just beneath Daniel’s words, but he dared not scold too harshly.
As he grew older, he feared being scorned by his children.
Even now, Joshua already despised him, but he still held back his anger.
Gabriel had advised him not to fall out with the family members. At least not until he got the company’s property again.
Daniel couldn’t deny that Gabriel was right in saying this.
No matter how old he got, he must hold onto the property in his own hands, only then would his descendants be close to him.
Thinking it over, his sons used to appear close to him, but ever since he handed over the company, even Zachary, who was normally filial, had left him unattended at the hotel.
If he wanted to get closer to his children, he must get the property back.
After all, his descendants would inherit everything after his death, and at that time, they would scramble among themselves. With a stretch of his leg and a close of his eyes, he would no longer have any control over them.
Daniel clearly calculated this in his heart and didn’t get angry at Joshua’s “rudeness”.
“Just ask what you want, I promise to answer you honestly and in detail.”
“Did you sleep with Phoebe Belmont?”
Daniel’s hand holding the phone trembled, an unnatural look crossing his face.
What kind of son asks this of his father?
“Why are you asking this?”
“Answer me!” Joshua roared in anger, “What’s your relationship with her? Did you or did you not sleep with her?!”
Daniel took a deep breath, his face both ugly and embarrassed.
“Daniel Thompson, if you don’t tell me, I’ll change my last name. You know I can do it.” Joshua’s tone was gloomy.
Daniel gasped for breath.
He was being threatened again.
Did this brat think he could just control him by changing his last name? He wasn’t some old man from the Jenkins family.
Would he not be his son if he changed his last name to Jackson?
Daniel laughed: “You just want to change your last name, right? Go ahead, I don’t mind if you all change your last names.”
“Fine, we’ll change our last name to Jackson from now on.”
Daniel Thompson: “…”
Joshua said casually: “Joshua Jackson, huh, sounds better than Joshua Thompson.”
Daniel clenched his chest and coughed violently.
Of all his many sons, this one was the most infuriating.
Out of all the last names, why did he have to choose that man’s? Was he trying to anger him to death because he had lived too long?
Daniel’s anger made his chest ache.
He was being manipulated again, but he had no other way, so he could only be controlled.
“Fine, you want to know what happened between her and me? I’ll tell you everything now…”
…
Phoebe got the results and walked towards the elevator in a daze.
Just then, Damian Thompson and Amanda Leaford were outside the door, explaining the situation to James Leaford, who had just arrived.
