Chapter 680

Melody was hesitating, and lan spoke again, “I’ll count to three. If you don’t kneel, I’ll slit her throat!”

Melody gritted her teeth and finally gave up on her gamble. She was dealing with a human life. She could not take the slightest risk.

“Kneel!” Zane urged.

A tear fell from Nana’s eye. “Melody…”

Nana blamed herself for being weak. She felt useless. But her worst guilt was dragging Melody down. If she had listened to David Marrow just now and stayed in the car obediently, Melody would not have been in a dilemma. ‘Idiot! I’m such an idiot! Why was I thinking I could help her?’ Not only was she unable to help, she made the situation worse!

“You’ll be fine, Nana.” Melody looked firmly at Nana. Then, she looked into lan’s eyes and added, “Put down the hairpin and I’ll kneel for you.”

“Heh!” lan sneered. “You’re making the right choice. But what if you rush over when I put down the hairpin? Cover your head and kneel first, and I’ll put down the hairpin.”

“But…”

“This isn’t the time and place for negotiation!” lan interrupted.

Melody gritted her teeth and knelt before lan and Zane. However, before Melody’s knees touched the ground, two well-trained bodyguards suddenly appeared by the roadside.

Noticing their arrival, Melody immediately stood up again. She thought Ian had a backup and braced herself for another battle. But she did not expect the bodyguards to walk straight towards Ian and Zane.

Ian froze. “Who are you?”

The men stood about two meters from lan. Then, she noticed a middle-aged man standing beside a car, full of anger. It was Dennis.

Melody raised her eyebrows. ‘He comes quicker than I thought…

Ian and Zane did not expect Dennis to be there. Their eyes widened at the same time. Zane was the first to speak. “Dad? Why are you here?”

Ian also put away her hairpin guiltily. “Honey, why are you…”

“Shut up, all of you!” Dennis walked forward aggressively. Before lan could say anything, he raised his hand and slapped her. The slap made a crisp sound. Ian’s head was turned to the side, and her cheek started to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye.face.

lan covered her face in disbelief, but she was scared to ask any questions. A terrifying guess appeared in her mind. ‘Could it be that he already knew the secret?’

Nana was also in disbelief. She knew Dennis cherished his mistress. ‘Why is he slapping her?’

“Dad!” When Zane saw this scene, he quickly questioned, “Why did you hit Mom so suddenly? Could you at least ask something first?”

“Dad?” Dennis sneered and asked, “Who’s your father?”

Zane was stunned. “Dad? What are you talking about? Of course, you’re my…” Before Zane could finish speaking, Dennis kicked him in the stomach.

Dennis’s kick was filled with unwillingness, anger, and hatred. He didn’t hold back. The kick was so painful that Zane immediately curled up in pain. Although he was in pain, his mind was still unwilling to believe that his father, who loved him so much, would kick him.

lan could not care less about herself. She squatted beside Zane with a pained expression. “Zane, are you hurt? You’re scaring me…”

Upon seeing Zane’s face turned pale, lan looked at Dennis helplessly and said, “Dennis, it’s fine if you hit me, but how can you kick your son?”

“Son?” Dennis’s eyes were filled with rage. “Is he my son?”

lan’s face turned paler than Zane’s. However, she still braced herself and said, “If he’s not your son, whose son can he be? Don’t be deceived by someone with ulterior motives and sow discord between us!”

Dennis grabbed lan’s neck. “I’m not f*cking stupid! I’ve already gotten the forensics to verify the paternity test report and your cheating video. They’re all f*cking true! lan, you b*tch, how dare you cheat on me and lie to me for so many years? I hope you die!” As he scolded, he tightened his grip.

lan could not even speak. Her face turned pale. Seeing that she was about to suffocate, Melody walked up and grabbed Dennis’s hand to remind him. “That’s enough. If you keep this up, you’ll kill her.”

“Her death is not worth pitying!” He could tolerate the hatred of being cuckolded, but he could not stand the humiliation of raising a son out of a love affair.

When Melody saw this, she quickly raised her voice and said, “She deserves to die, but are you sure you want to sacrifice your entire life for someone like her?”

Dennis seemed to have returned to his senses. He slowly let go of his grip on Ian’s neck. At the same time, Zane had recovered from the pain. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his abdomen. With great effort, he stood before Ian. “Dad, I don’t know what kind of influence Nana gave you, but I can guarantee that Mom has always been loyal to you. I’ve never seen her get too close to any men.”

Zane’s words made Dennis sneer. He looked coldly at Adam, curling up on the ground, and said, “What do you mean? Is he not a man?”

Zane glanced at Adam and quickly explained, “Dad, you’ve misunderstood! Uncle Adam is my mother’s cousin. There can’t be anything between them. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

Zane turned around and said to Adam, “Uncle Adam, can you speak now?”

Adam’s eyes darted around in panic, not daring to reply. His reaction made Zane feel something was wrong. He also remembered what Melody had said. ‘Could it be that he’s my father? That’s impossible!’ He immediately rejected the idea.

Seeing that Zane was still in denial, Melody used her phone to pull up the video of the affair and stuffed the phone into Zane’s hand.

“If you don’t believe me, look at this clip of your mother and your so- called ‘Uncle, Zane.”

“No!” Ian quickly tried to stop her, but Zane had already opened the video. The video was crystal clear. He saw Uncle Adam kissing his mother passionately in the video. A sick feeling made his stomach flip.

“Urgh!” Zane vomited.

Nana cringed in disgust and walked behind Melody. “Zane, do you believe I’m not lying to you? Your biological father is Uncle Adam.”

“No. That’s impossible!” He turned around and grabbed his mother’s collar. “Answer me, that’s not true, right? My father can’t be a gangster!”
