Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy

Chapter 210: What Happened Back Then

Andrew King wasn’t annoyed; he just stood behind her with a smile.

His throat felt a bit itchy, and he pressed his fist to his lips, coughing lightly a few times.

Vinny Hawke opened the door and was about to close it when she noticed Andrew’s somewhat pale face and hesitated slightly.

Andrew kept his eyes on Vinny.

Seeing her hesitation, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.

He held the door open and said gently, "Mandy, my throat feels a bit itchy. Can I come in for a glass of water and sit for a while?"

She was a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted woman.

He always knew.

Vinny glared at the man in front of her, annoyed, "Don’t you have water at your own house? Why are you coming over here in the middle of the night?"

This old man, with his poor health, running around recklessly, why hasn’t he coughed himself to death yet!

Vinny cursed at him, but she didn’t close the door, instead turning back into the house in a huff.

Andrew smiled warmly and followed her inside.

Vinny ignored him and went to the wine cabinet, taking out a bottle of red wine.

The smile on Andrew’s face faded slightly as he walked over slowly.

Watching Vinny pour herself a glass of wine and down it in one go, Andrew gently said, "Mandy, drink slowly. Your stomach isn’t good."

"Mind your own business?"

Vinny snapped.

Andrew sighed lightly in his heart and asked again, "Have you eaten?"

"Is that any of your concern?"

Vinny poured herself another glass.

Andrew coughed a couple of times, shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the kitchen.

Vinny glared at his back, knowing he was going to make dinner for her, and her nose felt a little sore.

That incident from years ago had cost her everything.

She should hate this man, hate him to the point of wanting to kill him.

But over the years, he had endured her coldness, unwavering.

He never fought back or talked back, atoning for his sins in his own way.

All hearts are made of flesh.

Her inner wounds had long been soothed by his tenderness.

It’s just that she was probably accustomed to treating him harshly.

He was like her punching bag!

...

The quiet villa area.

Cole Hawke entered the house.

"Arthur’s back? Have you eaten?"

Cole Hawke’s mother was talking to Jason Hawke. Cole greeted them and patted his stomach.

"Not yet, Mom. I want to eat the dishes you made yourself."

He had something to discuss with his father.

He didn’t want his mother involved.

After all, the matter he wanted to discuss with his father concerned the Hawke Family’s reputation. The fewer people who knew, the better.

"Alright, I’ll make it for you."

Mrs. Hawthorne smiled and went into the kitchen.

Cole sent away all the servants, squatted down in front of Jason Hawke.

"Dad, there’s something I need to ask you."

"What is it?"

Jason Hawke noticed his son’s seriousness and asked.

"Why hasn’t my aunt ever gotten married?"

Hearing this, Jason’s eyes flashed with surprise.

"Why are you suddenly asking about your aunt’s matters?"

"Well, I’ve discovered something." Cole replied.

Jason looked at him, reminiscing, "Your aunt was a proud princess since childhood, with an outgoing personality, always the apple of your grandparents’ eye. Until her second year of college, something happened, and her personality changed, becoming unpredictable."

Something happened?

Cole’s eyes showed curiosity, and he asked, "What happened to Aunt?"

"She was kidnapped. After your grandparents rescued her, they sent her abroad."

Jason said.

Aunt had been kidnapped!

Cole was shocked, "Why have we never known about this?"

"It wasn’t something good. At that time, your grandfather gave a strict order not to discuss it."

Jason replied calmly.

Seeing Cole deep in thought, he asked curiously, "Arthur, you haven’t said why you are interested in your aunt’s matters?"

Cole refocused and said, "Dad, let me sort out my thoughts."

He needed to understand the relationship between Vinny and Andrew King.

Cole paused and continued asking, "Dad, what is the background of Andrew King from the previous Netherworld Organization?"

Hearing this, Jason’s brow furrowed, and he looked at his son inquisitively.

Why is his son inquiring about Andrew King again?

"Andrew King grew up in an orphanage, with no family background. In his reckless youth, he did some shipping with friends but was deceived into losing everything, even to the point of sleeping under bridges. Later, somehow, he made a fortune and founded the Netherworld Organization, expanding it significantly within a few years."

Jason shared everything he knew.

Cole frowned, pondering.

It seemed there was no obvious connection between the two.

But when Damon Hawke approached Elara Don under another identity, he used the alias Thomas King.

He didn’t use any other surname, but chose King.

Does that mean there is a deep connection between him and Andrew King?

"Dad, did you know that Aunt knows Andrew King?" Cole asked.

Jason was taken aback, "I’m not your aunt’s biological sibling, so I haven’t paid much attention to her affairs."

Cole was silent for a moment, "Dad, I suspect Aunt and Andrew King had a relationship."

Jason: "..."

Is that even possible?

"I’m not only suspecting they had a relationship, but I’m also suspecting that Damon Hawke is Aunt and Andrew King’s son."

Jason: "!!!"

That’s quite the shocking theory!

"Arthur, you can’t speak recklessly without evidence; it could ruin your aunt’s reputation."

Although he wasn’t Vinny’s biological brother, they had no conflicting interests.

Their relationship since childhood was reasonably good.

He didn’t want anyone slandering her and affecting the Hawke Family’s reputation.

"Dad, I’m not speaking without evidence, because today I personally overheard Aunt talking with Grandmother. She clearly said that she is not Damon’s sister but his biological mother."

Cole shared everything he heard with Jason.

Jason was left dumbfounded, unable to react for a while.

He tried to piece everything together, remembering the year Vinny was sent abroad, and then, Madam Hawke suddenly announced her own pregnancy, staying abroad for delivery.

At the time, it didn’t feel odd, after all, in prestigious families, having many children was normal.

Besides, the two elders of the Hawke Family had a good relationship when they were young.

Even when Madam Hawke was pregnant in her forties, no one would have suspected her of lying.

And now...

Jason’s eyes flashed with excitement.

Based on Cole’s suspicion, after Vinny was kidnapped, she must have had her purity destroyed.

That’s why they hurriedly sent her abroad.

She then became pregnant, and to preserve her honor, as well as the Hawke Family’s reputation, Madam Hawke pretended to be pregnant to cover up Vinny’s out-of-wedlock pregnancy scandal.

After all, over twenty years ago, for Vinny to be kidnapped and defiled was an enormous scandal for a prestigious family.

The two Hawke elders would have vigorously suppressed such a scandal without a doubt.

And the one who made Vinny pregnant was Andrew King!

Afterwards, Andrew King used the hush money from the Hawke elders to establish the Netherworld Organization.

It all fits together!
