Jonas was after all more mature than Severo, his age and seniority were there, he quickly regained his expression and spoke with some hesitation, “Are you really … Ariela’s son?”
I had had contact with Severo before, but nothing like the mixed feelings I had today.
He had not expected Ariela to have given him a son, let alone that this remarkable young man would be the son of his Jonas.
When he thought of Enzo, who had been brilliant as a child but was now increasingly dishevelled, he looked at Severo with increasing affection, as if he were looking at his son.
Allyce looked at Severo.
It was not the time to talk.
Severo was indifferent to Jonas’s show of affection: “How did my mother die?
“What?” A flash of horror crossed Jonas’ face.
Severo’s face was very, with depression in his eyes, “How Ariela died at that charity dinner fifteen years ago!”
“I don’t know, it was all …” Jonah cringed and turned his head to look at Allyce. “It was Orlin … ”
Severo grimaced and continued, “I’ll ask you again, who did it when Allyce almost got hit by a van in L City a month ago?”
Allyce raised her head at the mention of L City.
He had almost forgotten about that incident, but he had not expected Severo to investigate it in the dark.
Allyce thought about having seen him meet with Lavina before. Was it because Lavina told her he was going to reopen the Orlin affair that Jonas tried to kill her?
But he must not have thought that Severo was really Ariela’s son.
He looked first at Severo and then at Jonas.
The once serene Jonas was now trembling slightly with fear.
“You don’t speak, do you?”
Severo scoffed and added: “The ecstasy you gave Allyce when you came over for coffee the other day, you bought it from Grizzi.
With every word Severo uttered, Jonas’ face hardened a few notches.
By the time he heard Severo’s last words, his face turned ugly: “What are you talking about? I don’t know anything about Grizzi.
This impatient denial was enough to prove that the drug he had given Allyce had indeed been bought from Grizzi.
Allyce saw that Severo’s hand, hanging at his side, had tightened its grip.
“Bang!”
Suddenly there was a loud bang outside, followed by Enzo’s voice: “Severo, what are you doing to my father? Let me in if you’re a man!”
Enzo’s voice was still coming from outside.
Severo ignored him and just stared at Jonas.
His gaze was brooding and biting, sending shivers down Jonah’s spine and cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.
Allyce was also a little afraid of Severo in this respect.
Suddenly, Severo raised his voice and said: “Let him in!
When the men outside heard Severo’s words, they released Enzo and automatically made way for him.
Another “bang” was heard and the door was opened by Enzo.
His eyes lit up slightly at the sight of Allyce, before quickly turning his attention to Jonas.
I hadn’t forgotten what I was here for.
Enzo rushed up to Jonas and asked him sharply: “Dad, are you OK?
Jonah looked at him with a cold face: “What are you doing here, go away!
“Dad!” Enzo shouted to him in disgust.
Then, turning his head to look at Severo, he said: “Do you still expect Severo to recognise you? People like him …”
Allyce frowned and said coldly, “What kind of man is he?”
“Allyce, he …”
“What kind of man my husband is, of course I know, I don’t need someone else to tell me.
Allyce spoke, rising slowly to her feet, an icy coldness prevailing in her eyes.
He turned his head to Jonas: “Don’t you feel guilty after all the years I’ve called you Uncle Aybar? You must be so proud that you had someone killed and let my father take the blame. And then you remain the president of your Aybar group while my innocent father gets spit on, even …”
killed by Jonas inside the prison.
The hatred in Allyce’s eyes was so deep that it was about to spill over: “Uncle Aybar, two lives! Did you think you were going to get away with this for the rest of your life?
Enzo turned to Allyce with a look of surprise, “Allyce, what did you say? What two lives!”
Allyce’s eyes kept looking at Jonah, “Uncle Aybar, your son is asking you what two lives are, explain it to him yourself”.
Jonah’s face was the image of a million thoughts.
Although he had had someone killed and falsely accused Orlin to avoid responsibility, his conscience was not completely dead in his bones and he did not want Enzo to know what he had done.
Enzo turned his head to look at him: “Dad, what two lives?
shouted Jonah with a cold face, “You’re talking nonsense, get out of here, you have no business being here!”
Severo, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up: “Your son is so curious and you don’t satisfy him? In that case, I will tell him.
“At a benefit dinner sixteen years ago, your father, Mr. Jonas, met his first love, Ariela, who was half drunk and tried to misbehave with her, and in the course of Ariela’s resistance, Jonas killed her!”
Severo said the last words with great force.
Allyce turned her head in shock to look at Severo.
Jonas stumbled over the words and looked at Severo with his jaw unhinged, “You …”.
Severo spoke with a grimace: “Do I need to go into more detail?
Allyce took his hand and whispered, “Severo …”.
Severus did not return her gaze, but was quick to take her hand in response.
He squeezed it so hard that it hurt Allyce a little, but she just held on and didn’t make a sound.
Enzo stood on the sidelines, already too shocked to speak.
“Dad, is it true what he said?
Jonas stepped back in dismay, he could see the hatred in Severo’s eyes, and realised that he could not fight Severo anyway, and that any further fight would be futile.
This son, who had appeared out of nowhere, had no feelings for him, nor would he have any pity.
He did not expect to be caught off guard like this after so many years.
And this man was his own son!
“So, Uncle Delahoz he … is innocent? It was you who joined forces with the Delahoz family to frame him? You forced me to marry that bitch Senona because they had something against you too?”
Enzo suddenly understood many things.
Was Jonas, who valued face so highly, being nice to Allyce also because he feared she might suspect him one day?
