Chapter 224 Confrontations at the Villa
George glared at Jeffrey, his eyes seemed to scream, “If you spout nonsense again, watch your back.”
Jeffrey, unfazed, turned to Alice and said, “Madam Alice, shall we also head in?”
Thus, the four of them entered the living room of the Brooker’s Villa. David had meticulously prepared his speech before arriving.
However, as he stepped into the living room and saw who was inside, his pupils dilated, and his brain felt like it was zapped by electricity, going blank for a moment.
Why is Elaine here? Isn’t she sent abroad by Kenneth?
Panic surged through David. He had planned, once his family was settled abroad, to buy a gun and find a way to eliminate Elaine permanently.
But before he could leave the country, Elaine appeared alive and well right before him. Didn’t Kenneth swear that Elaine was confined to an estate, unable to escape?
David’s gaze flickered when he caught sight of Brendan Brielle; it clicked that the Gray family must have brought Elaine back from abroad.
At that moment, Brendan and Brielle were staring him down with eyes full of loathing.
David’s heart sank, realizing Elaine must have told the Grays something.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, and, feeling guilty, he quickly averted his eyes from the Gray family members.
However, when his gaze landed on Kate and Anna’s faces, he felt dizzy and confused. Why are these two old ladies here too?
He vividly remembered that they had been helping Lauren the day Elaine woke up. Initially, he thought they were just ordinary old ladies, but now it seemed the situation was far more complicated.
The one standing, dressed like Marilyn, was clearly a servant; the elegantly dressed old lady sitting on the sofa was likely Felix’s grandmother–Kate.
Realizing this, David felt a jolt of shock to his head. Unknowingly, he had offended Kate. He hoped this old lady didn’t remember him; otherwise, her interference would make releasing Willow even more complicated.

When his gaze finally rested on Lauren and Felix, his back was soaked with cold sweat.
That wretch Lauren was here too! And she was sitting next to Felix as if she belonged there. How had it come to this? Could it be because I had once planned for Lauren to marry Felix, and she had seduced him ahead of time? Yes, that must be it!
He always knew Lauren was no good, vain and materialistic at heart.
David’s mind raced, his face stiffened momentarily, but he quickly resumed his facade as if nothing had happened.
He put on a smile and said to Lauren, “Laurie’s here too? You’ve been away from home so long without a word, I was so worried.”
Lauren, worthless in his eyes, always craved family love.
He could use this, playing the emotional card to coax her into persuading Felix to release Willow.
With that thought, he forced a smile at Lauren, but her look was full of hatred.
If Lauren was furious looking at the information Gael had found, the moment she learned the truth from Elaine, she didn’t just want David dead; she wanted him to suffer.
Today seemed like a good day to let him know the entire truth. She was eager to see his face when he realized that the

“Yes, I’m your father!” David shamelessly emphasized.
The word “father” instantly drew scoffs from everyone present.
Finished
Brendan looked at David as if he were looking at a pile of excrement, “Planning a surgical birth to have a daughter, then using her for organ transplants for your illegitimate daughter, and you call yourself a father?“”
Brielle added, “Harvesting organs from your lawful daughter, do you even deserve to be called a father?”
Marilyn chimed in, “Donating your lawful daughter’s body to be used as a medical teaching aid, and you call yourself a father?”
They took turns detailing David’s crimes.
David felt as if he’d been hit by a ton of bricks, his face ashen.
