The little boy blinked and his crying gradually stopped.
I carried the child and turned to look at Maddox and Rebecca. I said calmly, "Grandma, there are so many people today. Why don't we talk in the room inside? Don't let outsiders see us as a joke."
Rebecca glared at Maddox and nodded. "Let's talk inside!"
Everyone moved to the lounge at the side. The moment the door closed, the atmosphere became even more oppressive and solemn.
As soon as Maddox entered, his expression darkened. The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, and his hands subconsciously clenched and unclenched.
The woman sat opposite him and looked at him with a hint of fear in her eyes. However, it disappeared in an instant and was replaced by deep resentment and stubbornness.
The little boy was nestled in my arms, his eyes curiously looking at the adults around him. With teary eyes, he was holding a piece of cake and stuffing it into his mouth. His cheeks were puffed up, and his mouth was covered in cream.
Rebecca sat on the main seat and sized up the woman. Her gaze was like two sharp blades, as if she wanted to see through her.
She took a deep breath and looked at Maddox. She knocked her walking stick on the ground and said, "Maddox, tell me everything now. If you dare to lie, I won't let you off!"
Maddox raised his head and glanced at the woman. He slowly said, "Mom, I was young and impetuous back then and made a mistake. She and I... had a relationship. I really didn't know that she was pregnant."
When the woman heard this, she suddenly stood up. Her body trembled slightly as she said with tears in her eyes, "You're talking nonsense! You clearly know that I'm pregnant. You were the one who asked me to abort the child. You were the one who abandoned us!"
As she spoke, tears burst out of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks, wetting the front of her clothes.
Maddox frowned slightly and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. However, a moment later, his lips curled into a smile. He looked at Melody, who was sitting quietly at the side. His smile was probing and cold.
Melody's expression was a little strange as he slowly asked, "Joy, you didn't undergo surgery at all back then?"
Her eyes locked onto Joy Collins, as if she wanted to find the answer to all her questions from her face.
Joy was stunned for a moment before a look of realization appeared on her face. She turned to look at Maddox. "So, you really didn't know about this?"
Maddox didn't answer Joy's question. He just looked at her in confusion with a frown.
Joy sneered and suppressed the anger in her heart. Her body trembled slightly as she said, "Back then, I sent you a message to tell you that I was pregnant. However, you sent me a message to abort the child. Later, you sent someone to my house and gave me a cheque. They forcefully brought me to the hospital. Don't you know all this?"
She paused for a moment and did not seem to ask Maddox for an answer. She turned around and looked at Melody. "You were the one who replied to the message. You were the one who sent those people, right?"
At this moment, her eyes seemed to be spewing fire as she looked straight at Melody.
Maddox still did not explain, but his cold gaze landed on Melody. The coldness in his gaze seemed to lower the surrounding temperature.
"That's right, but I didn't expect you to lie to me after taking the money." Melody frowned slightly and looked at the little boy in my arms.
Even though she did not want to admit that this child was Maddox's son, the little boy's facial features were very similar to Maddox's, especially his eyes.
Rebecca must have known the moment she saw the child, so she did not chase him out and questioned Maddox instead.
Rebecca arranged for someone to bring Joy and Zachary Collins out of the banquet hall and promised to make proper arrangements for them.
She knew very well that at this point, she had to give an explanation. She could not let the situation worsen and ruin the Parks family's reputation.
To be able to appear with an illegitimate child at Rebecca's birthday party, Joy was going all out.
Even though Rebecca was a little dissatisfied, she was actually happy that she suddenly had a grandson. After all, this concerned the inheritance of the Parks family.
"Is that child really your father's illegitimate child?" Austin quickly asked when he saw Kailyn walking out.
He stood at the side, looking a little uneasy. As a candidate for the Parks family's son-in-law, this farce left him at a loss.
Even though Austin was engaged to Kailyn, he was still an outsider to the Parks family. At this moment, he was anxious to understand the situation so that he could gain a foothold.
"How did that woman have the guts to appear here?" Austin frowned slightly, his eyes filled with confusion and surprise.
When I passed by the two of them, Kailyn suddenly grabbed my hand and stared at me with sharp eyes.
Her grip was so strong that her nails almost dug into my flesh. "You did this, didn't you?"
She hissed through gritted teeth, the fury in her eyes threatening to engulf me.
I pulled my lips and smiled at her. I pretended to be innocent. "Kailyn, what are you talking about?"
My heart raced slightly, but my face remained calm.
Kailyn snorted coldly and leaned close to my ear. She said fiercely, "I know what you're thinking. Do you want revenge? It's not that easy!" With that, she shook off my hand and left angrily.
I watched her go and sighed softly. Indeed, I had arranged all this.
Back then, in order to get to the top, Melody resorted to unscrupulous means and caused my family to be separated.
Now, I spent so much effort to find Joy and her son because I wanted to make the Parks family fall into chaos on this most important occasion and expose their scandal to everyone.
When we returned to the banquet hall, everyone was still whispering and glancing in the direction of the lounge from time to time.
Maddox walked out with a livid expression. He glanced around before his gaze landed on me. I met his gaze without fear.
Actually, I wanted to know if he knew that my mother was pregnant back then. He probably didn't know. If he had known, I wouldn't have had the chance to appear here.
Melody could not tolerate an illegitimate child. He could never tolerate the daughter of his ex-wife.
"You take care of Zachary." Maddox walked up to me and spoke slowly.
A surprise flashed across my eyes as I looked straight at him.
Maddox sighed softly. "I'll give you money."
My lips curved into a smile. "Okay."
Everything was within my expectations. It seemed that Maddox was afraid that this illegitimate son would be silenced.
The party ended in an awkward and dreary atmosphere. The guests tacitly took their leave, their faces filled with unconcealable curiosity and gloating.
However, the Parks family was destined to become their topic of conversation in the future.
I carried the child and turned to look at Maddox and Rebecca. I said calmly, "Grandma, there are so many people today. Why don't we talk in the room inside? Don't let outsiders see us as a joke."
