Chapter <b>238 </b>


    Cyrus was livid. “How dare you me me? You raised such a worthless son who can’t even manage one mistress properly!”


    “Shut up!” Cindy retorted, her chest heaving with anger. “If you hadn’t been out of the house all the time with your string of mistresses, rk wouldn’t have turned out like this. He learned it all from you!”


    Cyrus sneered. “I’m not going to argue about old grievances. It’s pointless now. You’d better not make things worse. If you really anger the old man, rk might never get back into the Sumner Group.”


    After all, the Sumners had more than one heir.


    As Cyrus was about to leave, Cindy tried to stop him but was shoved aside, nearly falling. When she managed to steady herself and looked around, Cyrus had already disappeared.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    rk had been kneeling at the Sumner residence entrance all night. When it started pouring rain in the middle of the night, he stayed put, enduring the downpour until he copsed.


    The next morning, a maid found him unconscious at the door.


    Marie quickly called the family doctor and had rk carried back to his room.


    After a hectic morning, rk finally woke up.


    Seeing the familiar bedroom, he managed a faint smile. His n had worked–the strategy of using his suffering had paid off. The rain hade just in time. Otherwise, he might still be outside the mansion. When rk saw that the IV drip was almost empty, he pulled it out and went downstairs.


    Seeing Richard and Marie sitting in the living room, he walked up to them and knelt.


    “Grandpa, Grandma, I know I’ve disappointed you greatly. I hope you can eventually forgive me, but more than anything, I hope you don’t let this affect your health,” he said.


    Richard maintained a stern expression, well aware that rk’s suffering was a calcted move. With years of business experience, he was not easily fooled by such tactics.


    Marie sighed and said, “You’re still ill. Get up for now.”


    rk shook his head. “Grandma, I’ve made mistakes, so I should kneel.”


    “Now you realize you were wrong? What do you n to do about it?” Richard asked.


    rk straightened up and said, “This incident was orchestrated by N, but I’m also at fault. I don’t me her. I’ll face all the consequences alone.”


    Richard’s face darkened with anger. “What will you use to take responsibility? The Sumner Group has lost billions because of this scandal. It has grown sorge that even if we rify things now, no one will


    believe it.”


    rk paused as if finally making up his mind. “Grandpa, I will send Jordyn abroad and ensure she doesn’t appear in Saintornia again.<b>” </b>


    Richard looked at him coldly, clearly disappointed. He hadn’t expected rk toe up with such a half- baked solution after days of contemtion.


    “And what about the child she’s carrying?” Richard asked.


    “She’s in poor health, and an abortion could be life–threatening. Besides, it’s my child, so I n to let her have it,” rk replied.


    “Foolish!” Richard’s eyes zed with anger. “If you do this, don’t ever call me Grandpa again!”


    Marie’s expression was also grim as she looked at rk. “rk, you’ve been married to N for three years without getting her pregnant. Now you’re bringing a child from a mistress into the mix. Are you trying to ruin the Sumners‘ reputationpletely?”


    “Grandma, the reason we haven’t had a child in three years is that she can’t conceive. No matter how hard we try, it won’t work.” rk threw N under the bus.


    “What?!” Marie looked at him in shock. “Are you sure it’s her problem?”
