Chapter 1268 Whether to Believe or Not

Claude’s face went pale all at once as he explained with his head shaking repeatedly, “How can they be true?”

Claude’s knee-jerk reaction was to shake his head even when he was alone on the phone.

“Really? Dad, am I supposed to believe you or not?” Angela sounded terrified, like a startled vigilant fawn.

Although Claude felt sorry for his daughter, it was not the time for him to tell the truth. He added immediately, “Angela. Of course you should believe me. I am your biological father. Why would lie to you?”

Angela looked undetermined. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke up, NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Mrs. Philips told me that they were all real.”

Claude looked more flustered, but his voice remained calm. After hearing what Angela said, he fumed, “Nonsense!”

Angela took in a breath and did not air objections.

Claude wanted to explain himself. But a second thought had he asked, “What happened? What did she say about it?”

Angela pursed her lips and said, “She told me that I am one of the Philips now and should sever my ties with the Whites. She wanted me to stay out of this just in case I would put all our efforts into the toilet.”

Claude was stunned for a second. He held the phone and did not know what to say. He knew that by asking for his daughter’s help, he would only cause her more trouble.

“Mrs. Philips has always been an honest woman. Daddy, tell me the truth, did you cheat on mother?”

Claude replied without thinking, “Of course not.”

Under no circumstances could he admit it.

Before Angela could say anything, Claude said again, “Angela, you have to believe me. I have only one daughter. And that is you. I have only one wife. And that’s your mother. You and your mother are the world to me.”

Angela’s resolution wavered as she did not know who to believe.

Eva was not a liar but her father was so assertive.

Angela grabbed her hair as she was engaged in a silent mental struggle. Claude became nervous.

“My sweet girl, you don’t trust me, do you?”

Claude sounded sad and disappointed.

“I… I do.”

Angela had a particularly hard time saying those words.

But he was her biological father. No matter how unwilling she was to accept it, she chose to trust her father. She could not bear the consequence of believing otherwise.

After taking in a deep breath, Angela said somewhat helplessly,

“I want to help you with this, but Mrs. Philips won’t. She won’t let me get involved, saying that if I take down the trending topic, it will raise suspicion on me and all my effort made will be futile.”

Claude was not able to take down the headline with his current situation.

Angela felt torn about what to do.

Revenge and her future glory were all that mattered. As for the scandal…

“Er…” Claude didn’t know what to do either.

But if the scandal continued to ferment, the company has every right to fire him. He had brought the company disgrace with this scandal. There was no chance the company would keep him.

At the thought of this, Claude took a long breath and spoke up again.
