294. Let's Get The Plan Started!
Elena froze, shocked at her mother’s sudden outburst. Her chest heaved; she could barely catch her breath, desperate to break free from Rita’s tight grip.“What’s gotten into you, Mother?” Elena gasped, struggling against her mother’s hold.Rita’s eyes widened, her tone laced with drama. “What are you saying, Lena? Don’t you understand that walls have ears? What you just said… it could get you arrested—or worse. Especially now that Franco doesn’t love you anymore!”Elena recoiled, her voice trembling. “But what did I say wrong? I was only stating my own opinion—that Franco could be the father of the child. It’s nothing but my own line!”Rita tightened her grip briefly, her face pale with urgency. “And that opinion of yours can get you into serious trouble!” she said sharply. “Franco is a highly influential figure now. He can do anything, however he wants. Do you really think he’ll let something like this slide when you’re making such a huge allegation without any evidence?”Elena’s ha
293. Suspects Arising!
Of course, Franco didn’t know how to respond to Muna’s question.No matter how he felt about it, he had no choice but to do as she instructed.“OKAY! Tomorrow then!” he finally said, his voice firm, though his mind was still swirling with uncertainty.The car drove straight to the Scott mansion. As Franco sat silently, thinking about how to handle the upcoming meeting with Oscar and his mother, Alyana, Elena’s conscience gnawed at her relentlessly.Humiliation had struck her in its purest form that day, leaving a bitter taste she couldn’t ignore. Yet, there were more pressing matters she had to consider, matters her mother insisted she shouldn’t dwell on.Even so, Elena’s thoughts kept returning to that other part—the part her mother wanted her to ignore, the part that refused to stay buried.What really consumed them was the fact that they had been humiliated today.The moment they arrived home, Rita threw her bag onto the couch and ran her hands through her hair in frustration.“The
292. Be His Dad!
Immediately after Alyana left, Franco didn’t waste a second before turning to leave as well.As he walked out, Muna hurried after him while the crowd pressed forward, their voices rising in desperate pleas.“My blood! Bless me!”“Place your hands on me, My Lord!”“My Lord, please, lay your hand on me!”Some stretched their hands as far as they could, trying to touch even the edge of his clothes, believing their faith alone would bring them blessings or lengthen their lives. Ironically, the very people who had once mocked Franco were now the same ones struggling the hardest to reach him.Franco remained composed, his expression steady, though a quiet annoyance flickered beneath the surface.When he reached his car, he paused and waited for Muna to catch up before driving off. The moment she stepped inside, he reached out and gently held her hand.“I am sorry, Muna,” Franco said softly, his voice low with sincerity. “I am so sorry.”Muna blinked, clearly surprised. She let out a small s
291. No More Chance For You!
Alyana slowly squatted beside her son and held his shoulders gently.“Listen to me, my dear,” she said softly, brushing his hair back. “Your papa loves you, I know that. He only left us to go and start another family. But the new papa you keep asking to meet… he is not your papa. He can’t be your—”Before she could finish her sentence, Oscar suddenly pulled away from her and ran straight to Franco.He wrapped his small arms tightly around Franco’s waist.“Papa!” Oscar cried, clinging to him. “Please be my papa! I want you to be my papa!”A wave of shock swept through the hall.Everyone stood frozen, their eyes fixed on the scene. They were completely baffled.What was going to happen next? What would Franco do? And where had all this drama come from?Franco himself stood speechless, staring down at the boy holding onto him.At that moment, Muna’s grandmother stepped forward. Her face was far from friendly.The displeasure in her expression was obvious. She was clearly unhappy with eve
290. Not His Papa
Alyana’s words struck Franco like the deepest shock he had ever felt. The moment they left her mouth, his expression froze, and he stood there, stunned to his core. To begin with, Franco hadn’t invited Alyana to his welcome party. Even at this moment, the last thing he had expected to hear was that she was coming here — to his welcome party. If he wasn’t mistaken, Alyana had once told him she was pregnant with his child. Although he found it hard to believe at the time, he had still been deeply unsettled by the way she declared that she wouldn’t let him see his own child. And now, what was this he was hearing? That the little boy should meet his father? Franco let out a low chuckle. Before reacting further, he carefully examined the surroundings. From the looks on the guests’ faces, everyone was clearly surprised. Soft whispers had already begun to spread across the hall. “The Ruffian Lord has a son out of wedlock?” someone gasped. Another voice quickly followed, thick with dis
289. Meet Your Papa!
After hearing everything Elena said, Franco smirked.He already knew where the conversation was heading. Even a fool could tell that Elena was trying to draw sympathy from the crowd.The moment he noticed the cameras and phones pointed in their direction, it became even clearer. Everything happening was being broadcast live online. To Elena, this was the perfect stage — a chance to gain his attention while making herself look like the victim.And because the world was watching, people would naturally lean toward her side. If he turned and walked away without listening, the public would immediately paint him as the heartless one.Franco understood that much.That was why he stayed where he was.Protecting his reputation was reason enough to remain standing there, facing Elena, a faint smile resting on his lips as he prepared for whatever she would say next.“Alright then,” Franco said, his smirk deepening slightly. “You have my attention, Miss Froston. So, what is the second gift you w
