Billionaire's Regret: Losing Me And Our Son - Chapter 175: Chapter 175

"If you really care that I'm your family and your father, you shouldn't have told Quinn about our family matters. You wouldn't have gossiped with your mother without telling me back then!"
The more Ben spoke, the angrier he became. He slammed his hand on the desk. "You even learned how to secretly take photos and showed them to your mother. Do you really treat me as your father?"
Hearing this, I felt a chill in my heart.
"So, you've finally said what's on your mind, right? You refuse to help because you're holding a grudge over this," I said, recognizing the resentment in his tone and responding bluntly. "Ultimately, it's because I told Mom about your affair, and now you're taking revenge on me."
Ben grunted, his tone icy, "I am your father, and I have the right to teach you. Everyone makes mistakes, and I have corrected mine. But why won't you face your own errors? Instead, you argue vehemently and stand on a moral high ground to harshly judge me."
I was so angry that I almost laughed. "Am I judging you? You betrayed your marriage and my mother first. I only told her the truth."
I retorted sharply, "I had no proof, and Mom trusted you too much. I had hinted at your affair subtly, but she didn't believe it until she saw the video evidence. Did I force you to passionately kiss Bernie? Why are you still being so unreasonable?"
"Bastard, as a daughter, how can you say such things to your father?" Ben was so angry that he cursed and kicked the trash can beside the table.
The trash can that was kicked out rolled around and stopped at my feet.
At this moment, I finally understood how accurate Quinn's evaluation of Ben was. Ben was an extremely selfish person. He might have genuinely doted on me, his lost daughter, but the premise was that I would not affect his personal interests or anger him.
I was the one who personally took the evidence of his affair with Bernie. I was also the one who personally told Shirley about it. So he took the opportunity to humiliate me when I came to him for help.
"Natalia, if it weren't for the fact that you got lost when you were young, I wouldn't be here talking nonsense with you! Just because Mary's death is related to Quinn, I won't help you either." Ben's face was ashen as he said in a more serious tone, "Get out. I don't want to see you ever again. I don't have a traitorous daughter like you!"
"Good, very good!" I stormed out the door.
Just as I was struggling to calm down, I bumped into York. From his expression, it was obvious that he had heard my argument with Ben.
"Are you satisfied?" I raised an eyebrow at York.
York frowned and said to me in a low voice, "Natalia, he's your father after all. You shouldn't talk to him like this."
"I don't need you to tell me what to do!" I glared at York and straightened my back before leaving Maple Media.
On the way back, my anger gradually subsided. Ben's rejection had left me at a dead end. His selfishness was indeed infuriating.
When I drove back to the Madden Group, I realized that everyone was looking at me meaningfully.
"What happened?" I asked Raelynn when I arrived at the office.
Raelynn also looked at me with a complicated expression and turned on the iPad in her hand. "Ms. Hinton, I don't know who leaked the news of the suspension of the Dazzling Project.
"Look, someone posted in the financial circle at six o'clock this morning. Then the post was reposted crazily.
"Now, the Dazzling Project is in the top three trending topics."
I couldn't believe it, so I checked the iPad.
"Scandal exposed in the Dazzling Project", "Mrs. Madden embarrassed, and the Dazzling Project suspended amidst controversy", and "Shocking insider revelations, something's wrong with the Dazzle Group's construction materials" were the three most trending topics.
Besides trending on Twitter, the financial circles were also in an uproar. It seemed like overnight, this depth charge had stirred up a storm, overwhelming me from all directions.
