Chapter 1503 Summer And Atticus Realize The Truth

Mark gently sighed in relief when he was satisfied with what he had just heard. Alejandro took a puff on his cigarette before continuing. “Actually, besides being an ambitious man, Seaton has his eyes on Tremont Estate because of his wife’s intention to divorce him. However, this is as far as my understanding goes. Seaton’s been dragging on with his divorce despite the amount of time that has passed. On the other hand, Seaton’s wife owns a portion of his company’s shares and he would most definitely be in a lot of trouble the moment they divorced and his wife gained another portion of his shares, hence why he’s got his eyes fixed on Tremont Enterprise. He wouldn’t have to worry about going bankrupt if he manages to acquire your company. Seaton’s company was affected when he was in trouble; his wife even sold us her shares without hesitation when we acquired the company. Women are said to be very vengeful beings the moment they’ve been thoroughly hurt. Judging by Seaton’s inhumanity, I’d say he deserves what he’s going through today, since he was even foolish enough to allow his woman to be involved in his business. What an idiot.” Mark glared at Alejandro, his intentions clear despite his silence. Alejandro realized what had happened and said, “I wasn’t saying that you’re an idiot. Although your company may be owned by Arianne, it’s not a big issue, since she’s been with you for so many years; there shouldn’t be any mishaps. I haven’t got the slightest intention to comment about your matters.” Alejandro had slightly paled as he explained himself. Mark turned around and walked into the house with a darkened face, ignoring Alejandro altogether. … Despite his greatest efforts, Summer and Atticus still found out about the truth. Tiffany was partly to be blamed, thanks to her inability to act—she could not maintain her composure in front of Summer. In addition to Jackson’s absence, Tiffany could not help but reveal everything the moment Summer had asked her. Summer and Atticus rushed to the hospital the moment they found out about Jackson’s whereabouts. On the other hand, Jackson seemed to have healed and would be able to be discharged very soon. He felt helpless when he saw his parents, with Tiffany holding up both her hands as she stood behind them to indicate that she had no choice. Instead of being mopey and sad, which Jackson had anticipated, Summer actually said, “What kind of self defense have you been learning all this time? How could you be knocked out so easily? Tiffany hasn’t been eating well because of how much you’ve fed her with your cooking.” Jackson was confused. He slowly put a suspicious look on his face and, after a moment, asked, “Tell me the truth, mom. Am I adopted, or am I actually your flesh and blood?” Summer raised an eyebrow and said, “Of course, you’re my own flesh and blood. I carried you for 10 months, so there’s no doubt about that.” Jackson’s lips twitched. Why did he still find it hard to believe? Atticus remained silent and walked out of the ward after no more than two minutes. Jackson noticed his actions and muttered, “What’s he doing here? Was he merely passing by to visit a sick patient?” Summer raised her hand and tidied up Jackson’s messy hair. “He’s probably afraid that you’d despise him and grew nervous, so he chose not to be a hindrance to you. He’s your dad anyhow; you should treat him better. However, he really shouldn’t be keeping silent, without even saying a word. Why is it that he still has to be so careful with his choice of words in front of his own son…” Jackson did not reply. Tiffany realized that the situation was turning awkward and hurriedly asked, “Have you had your breakfast, Jackson?” Jackson looked at the time on his wristwatch. “It’s almost 10AM, what do you think? I’ll be fine here, but you guys should do what you have to do instead of standing here. Although I’ll be out of here soon, I could take the opportunity and get some rest during this time.”
