Chapter 1176 Revealing Identity
Chapter 1176 Revealing Identity
Miles looked at everyone and said, "The document you see was personally prepared by the gold medal lawyer Mr. Robertson in the city, and the evidence is conclusive! He can no longer deny it!"
Casper sneered when he heard this. He knew that Miles had been wandering around the company with a purpose. It turned out that he was collecting evidence of his illegal business operations. However, this was not important anymore. Casper sighed deeply and broke the silence after Miles finished speaking,
"Dad, why are you doing this? Where in the world does a father dig his son's grave? We are all businessmen. Making money is what matters most. As for those shady deals behind our interests, we can just turn a blind eye to them."
Casper hit home with these words. If these materials were not made public, no one would have come to investigate him without reason. Weighing pros and cons, some shareholders began to protect him and helped Casper persuade Miles,
"Mr. Wood, what he says is right. We are all here for profit-making purposes only. There's no need to bring up such small matters."
Someone else said, "Yes, we've been in business for many years now. Who doesn't play some tricks? You're his father after all. Why make things difficult for your own son... Besides, aren't you also an expert at maneuvering?" This person even seemed to be blaming Miles.
In reality, conscience weighed very little when compared with interests.
"Dad," Casper smiled at Miles again as he spoke up once more, "you see how everyone agrees with me?"
"You have no right to call me Dad!" Suddenly as he shouted out loud, Miles' eyes showed red threads of anger which had been suppressed inside him for too long! Turning around facing everyone else again, Miles continued speaking,
"The Casper before your eyes isn't my son at all!"
Casper rolled his eyes while mocking Miles' announcement inwardly as being insufficiently forceful enough - he thought it would create much more commotion than it did.
This kind of rendering power really disappointed him...
Lucia had been observing Casper's reaction all along. When she saw that despite Mile's shocking revelation, Casper remained unmoved, and even seemed somewhat expected. Lucia immediately turned her head towards the host behind him and four senior executives. Others may not have noticed, but as someone from a martial arts background, she could tell at first glance that those five people were already preparing themselves, and they even put their hands on their backs where weapons were obviously concealed.
Could it be that Casper was already prepared?!
Lucia was surprised by this turn of events. When did Casper figure out their plan? And how was he going to respond? Thinking it over, Lucia decided to wait and see.
"Don't speculate any further. Please turn to the last page of your documents. There's an explanation there," Miles said sternly, ignoring everyone's protests.
Hearing this, the shareholders who had just recovered from their shock quickly flipped through their papers until they reached the last page. To their surprise, it was a paternity test result that had nothing to do with the meeting content. Everyone was confused. What was going on? The first person who finished reading the entire document couldn't even close his mouth because it clearly stated that Casper and Miles were not related by blood!
"Mr. Wood, what is going on?" everyone exclaimed in shock.
"Dad, you really came prepared! I didn't even notice when you slipped the test result into our meeting documents," Casper joked nonchalantly without paying attention to anyone's questioning looks. "Shut up!" Miles erupted in anger and pointed at him as he shouted, "You are not my son! The paternity test clearly shows that we have no blood relationship! You have no right to sit in that position!" At this point, Casper's gentle demeanor cracked open like a fault line as he slowly stood up with his hands supporting himself and said tearfully towards Miles,
"Dad... we've been father and son for so many years. I never knew about my true identity. I thought Mom and you loved each other very much, but my respect for you has always been genuine. What you did today in front of all these shareholders really hurt me."
Casper shifted blame onto Libby, implying she betrayed her marriage vows. Miles could only prove he wasn't related by blood but couldn't prove whether or not he was Jacob, right?
Everyone understood what Casper meant by his words; they whispered among themselves trying hard to comprehend such a bizarre truth while struggling with how cleverly Casper managed to pull off such a deceitful scheme.
Miles' rage burned away any semblance of rationality. He slammed his hand on the table, causing everyone present fell silent immediately and staring at this father-son duo incredulously. "Jacob Taylor! Are you still trying to deny it?! Casper is my biological son but you are not him! You're Jacob! My real son died because of you!"
As soon as the name Jacob was mentioned, the expressions of everyone present became incredibly animated. It was like a cloud of uncertainty that changed constantly. Today's shareholders' meeting had already revealed too much information, and they hadn't fully processed it yet. And now another bombshell had been dropped, involving none other than the infamous villain Athegate - Jacob! After the shock, everyone looked at Lucia in unison.
Who didn't know about the conflict between Lucia and Jacob? If what Miles said was true, how will Lucia react?
Lucia still sat firmly in her chair, with seemingly no expression on her face. However, her eyes were tightly locked onto Casper's, never looking away for even a moment.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Casper didn't try to argue this time. He slowly shifted his gaze away from Miles and onto Lucia's face. After a moment of eye contact between them, he simply smiled carelessly.
Lucia's brow furrowed as she stood up when Casper smiled. She had just made a move when, before anyone could react, two executives behind Casper rushed forward and grabbed Lucia from either side. Faced with such a sudden situation, everyone was caught off guard and stunned. However, some people had already taken action. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of pushing doors from both sides of the conference room. Four tall foreign men rushed in quickly and gathered around Lucia. The leader of the group shouted loudly,
"Jacob! Let go of Lucia!"
Casper smirked and reached for a handgun tucked at his back, pointing it directly at Lucia's head. He spoke coldly, "Make any move, and I'll shoot."
As soon as Casper finished speaking, the man who was about to take the next rescue action stopped in his tracks and looked at the gun in his hand with great caution.
