Chapter 70 Another Illegitimate Child
Benjamin chucked his phone into his pocket after the meeting. He made his way back to his office,
where Kingsley had already been waiting for him inside.
With a grim look on his face, an unmistakable aura of tension emanated bleakly off Benjamin. When
Kingsley noticed that, he tensed up with anxiety.
“Listen to me, Boss. Let me exin!” uttered Kingsley.
With his dark, brooding gaze, Benjamin cast a piercing side-eye at him that shot shivers right down
Kingsley’s spine.
Without haste, Kingsley cleared his throat and exined, “Boss, how can you still take it lying down
after your precious Sweetheart was mistreated? Even if you can take it under your stride, I can’t hold
back any longer!” Even though he was agitated, Kingsley did not expose Gavin and the reason he was
here, which was to see if Benjamin’s paternal love would surmount feelings over an old me.
“Who gave you the picture?” asked Benjamin, ring from the corners of his eyes. The answer to that
was obvious, but he wanted to hear it from Kingsley.
“Well, I saw it on Gavin’s phone!” replied Kingsley.
As Benjamin’s somber face remained emotionless, Kingsley could not fathom what was on his mind.
Meanwhile, Danna was still trying to get Benjamin on the phone. With his gaze darkened, Benjamin felt
the wrath of fury rage through him as he retrieved his phone.
Kingsley sensed that and extended his head out with a nce. “Hah! To think she has the cheek to call
you up now. I’m sure she is going to plead for her innocence. Don’t forget how she threatened me
earlier on.”
“She threatened you?” Benjamin rolled his eyes up in a curious gaze at Kingsley.
Kingsley handed over a recording and said, “I think you already know about it. Danna is still adamant
that she didn’t do it. She sure is cruel. How can she bear to do that to her own child, especially
when Gavin is so adorable?”
Continuing on, Kingsley said, “She thought you would marry her because of Gavin. When you refused,
she vented her anger on the poor kid. How inhumane! Are you aware that Danna had mistreated Gavin
in the past?”
Benjamin’s dashing face turned sullenly grim after he heard that.
In a split second, Kingsley shot a forceful nce at him. “You are his father. I’m asking you if you are
aware!”
“If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have let her mistreat my son,” fumed Benjamin as he red back
at Kingsley vehemently.
Kingsley pursed his lips in reaction to Benjamin’s response. In fact, it relieved him to know that
Benjamin was livid, as this meant Gavin mattered to him after all.
“Stay far away from a vicious woman like that. Nothing good cane out of a woman who mistreats
her own child,” advised Kingsley.
With a glint in his eyes, Benjamin wondered if Shaun had the DNA test results ready over at the
hospital. Without further ado, he called Shaun personally. “Hey, are the test results out yet?”
“Not yet. It’s going to take a while,” replied Shaun as he nuzzled his nose. As it turned out, the test
machine stalled after he dozed off the night before. He fixed the test machine in a frenzy after he woke
up from his slumber. Hence, that inevitably resulted in a dy with the test results.
“You are waning in inefficiency these days, Shaun. It’s getting from bad to worse!” grumbled Benjamin.
Faced with Benjamin’s criticism, Shaun tried tough it off awkwardly. “Well, you can’t me me for the
broken machine. What’s the hurry, anyway? By the way, whose DNA test is this? Please don’t tell me
you have another illegitimate child somewhere out there again?”
With a dour look written all over his face, Benjamin hung up the phone without another word.
Kingsley, who listened on to the conversation, peered momentarily at Benjamin. Treading on thin ice,
he asked Benjamin cautiously, “Is it true that you have an illegitimate child?” Good gracious, this guy is
something indeed. He looks like he’s disinterested in women, yet he has an illegitimate child on the
side. I can’t even catch up with his moves at the rate he’s going. Since he already has Gavin, I really
wonder whose child it is.
Benjamin caught sight of Kingsley’s inquisitive face. Even though he knew what went on in thetter’s
mind, he couldn’t be bothered to exin himself.
Notwithstanding his curiosity, Kingsley pressed on, “So, whose child is it?”
Benjamin glowered at him without answering his question. “Next time, give me a heads up before
releasing any news publicly!”
With his eyebrows raised, Kingsley was miffed. Hey, it wasn’t me.

“Are you feeling sorry for that woman? My heart aches for Gavin the Sweetheart. What tough luck for
him to be borne to a callous pair of parents. No one loves him in this world!” Kingsleymented
sarcastically.
With his upturned eyes narrowed, cold-blooded hostility crept up all over Benjamin when he heard that.
Kingsley quivered slightly and stopped short, biting his tongue in apprehension when he noticed that.
With an awkward chuckle, he muttered, “Tell me the truth. Doesn’t it break your heart to see Gavin like
this? What are you going to do about it?”
“Since you unearthed the news, handle the aftermath yourself! Just stop the excessive exposure of
Gavin from now,” warned Benjamin coldly. He did not want the current events to do more harm than
good to Gavin in his formative years.
“Then, let me get the inte ghostwriters to divert public attention by changing the tides,” cajoled
Kingsley carefully.
Theizens were torn between two opposing camps for now. While one camp gravitated toward
sympathy for Gavin, the other camp were mainly inte ghostwriters hired by Danna to back her up.
Hence, it was necessary to shift the focus away from Gavin in order for the public to redirect their
attention to Danna.
