Cordelia's tone turned icy. "Mr. Newhouse, you rushed here to see us today. Aren't you going to explain things?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Your son lost his life in this conspiracy. Haven't you thought about seeking justice for your son?"

Wilfred wiped his sweat, taking a deep breath. After some time, he sighed. "It's a family scandal... Mrs. Hamerton, please don't push this further. Regarding Harvey's funeral, I'll handle it out of respect for my wife. But right now, I need to resolve my daughter's matter."

Wilfred almost kneeled before them. "Please consider a compromise. Don't let Jojo go to jail! This is a family scandal, but still a family affair. I promise to handle it well and give the Hamertons an explanation!" "A family affair?!" Zephyr slammed the table, standing up and glaring at him. "This is your family's issue, not mine! Your daughter dared to harm my son. I won't let her off!"

"Mr. Hamerton, my son saved your son. Can't you consider this as compensation?"

"Wilfred, are you kidding?!" The meeting room door swung open, and a formidable woman entered. "Is Harvey a Newhouse? Hmph! Those are two different things. Don't confuse these matters!" Everyone was surprised, turning their attention to Whitney entering the room.

Whitney nodded in acknowledgment. "Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton, I didn't intend to come, but I'm concerned. There's something crucial I must announce in front of you."

She looked at Maisie with an affectionate gaze and offered her a smile. Then she turned to face Wilfred.

"Newhouse, even at this point, you persist in pleading for that little wretch, Jodie?"

"Whitney!" Wilfred's face flushed red. "She is my and Anya's daughter... Even if you disregard me, please respect Anya!"

"You have no right to mention Anya!" Whitney raised her voice. "You've pampered that little wretch for over 20 years while abandoning your own flesh and blood! You're the one who truly wronged Anya!" "What are you saying?" Wilfred was suddenly stunned.

Whitney grasped Maisie's hand and brought her before Wilfred.

Maisie's heart pounded, almost unable to breathe.

Wilfred seemed to hear something shattering in his ears, a deafening explosion. Her every move, every expression... Realization struck him!

A powerful force seemed to hit his heart. He felt a wrenching pain, so he clutched his chest, staggering back. He had to hold onto the table to steady himself.

"Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton, and the young Hamertons..." Whitney surveyed the room. Her words were clear. "What I am announcing today is about Maisie's parentage...

"She is the daughter of my student, Anya Campbell." Whitney pointed at Wilfred. "And also the biological daughter of this man!"

The conference room fell into stunned silence, as if plunged into a vacuum.

Maisie couldn't stand, feeling breathless. She stared at Wilfred, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.

Daniel embraced her, letting her lean against his shoulder.

Wilfred stumbled backward, falling to the floor and knocking over several chairs. His face turned pale, looking utterly distressed as if he had seen a ghost. He gasped for breath with his mouth wide open.
