After all, the Lee family was second to none and was very famous in the country. They must be careful
in this aspect because they would become a joke if they couldn't even recognize their children.
Both Bright and Rose understood Francis' rigorousness. After all, it was a matter of the Lee family's
bloodline, so how could they get by easily?
Rose was very nervous. Doris was indeed Bright's child, a descendant of the Lee family, but she
couldn't admit that or let them know.
She was afraid that what happened five years ago would be exposed. What would Bright think of her
then?
She schemed against Bright to save a man who didn't trust her at all and even betrayed her. She was
quite brave.
Bright would definitely resent her, and Doris would know that she was not born as a result of the love
that her parents have for each, but as a tool to save someone. This would be traumatic for a child.
Bright squeezed Rose's already cold hand once again, as if giving her strength and warmth, "Dad, I
said that the child is mine, so she's mind. What more evidence is needed? I won't mistake someone
else for my child. Don't worry."
"Moreover, Rose is not the kind of woman you think she is. If she was like that, we wouldn't have met
after two years of separation and gotten married then."
Bright knew his father's worries. He was afraid that Rose would use the child as a bargaining chip to
become Mrs. Lee to covet their family's power.
"I know you will be unhappy if I say this, but I have to be cautious about the blood of the Lee family."
Francis was frank about it.
"What I need to see is evidence. Let's go to the hospital's testing center for a paternity test. If this child
is from the Lee family, then naturally she would return to the Lee family. We will do our best to
compensate you and your child. Rose, does this work for you?"
Although Rose didn't show any changes in her emotions, she was in a dilemma.
She obviously didn't want Bright and Doris to do a paternity test. As soon as they did it, all the years
and efforts she spent hiding the truth would be wasted.
On the day when the truth became clear, what Bright said just now would be nonsense. Not only would
she lose this marriage, but she would also lose Doris.
Francis already made it clear that they wouldn't let a member of the Lee family go unrecognized, and
all members return to the Lee family.
After Doris returned to the Lee family, she would be expelled from the Lee family.
Because of her scheme and deceit...no man could bear such humiliation.
She didn't want this to happen, but it happened after all.
What could she do to avoid it?
"Dad, why mention such a serious matter?" But Bright's mental perception was that Doris was not his
child, so there was no way he would do a paternity test.
The most trusted doctor in the hospital, which his father chose, wouldn't help him hide the truth.
Once the truth became revealed, his marriage with Rose would be over, let alone the child.
"It's important, so we must be rigorous." Francis frowned. "What? You don't want to?"
"Dad, the child is young now, so she won't understand why she needs to do the test. But once she's
older, she would understand that we did it because we were suspicious. It would only scar her and
make her resent us."
"It's not for you to take the child to the hospital. Rose will bring the child over, and we just need to get
one or two of her hair here. If we don't say anything, how would she be scarred!" Francis chuckled, as if
he had already understood something. "Are you reluctant because you feel guilty? That child is not
yours at all, so you dare not take her for a paternity test."
"Dad, no. I am thinking about my child, and I know my child. Why do I have to do a paternity test?
Would I mistake someone else's child for mine and bring her back to the Lee family?" Bright confronted
his father. "I have the right to decide whether to do it for my child!"
"You just don't want to do a paternity test, right?" Francis' fierce eyes swept across Bright and stopped
on Rose, who had been silent. "Your attitude gives me no choice but to suspect that the child does not
belong to the Lee family."
"Yes, the child is not from the Lee family—" Rose finally admitted after a dilemma but was interrupted
by Bright. "What are you talking about?"
Didn't he already hint that she left everything to him? She just needed to keep quiet and not speak.
At this time, she denied that the child was not his. Then would his father still accept her?
"Dad, don't listen to her nonsense. She is just angry." Bright found an excuse and explained.
"Bright, shut up! Let her speak!" Francis narrowed his eyes out of anger and stared at Rose's calm
face.
Hallie saw that Francis was on the verge of anger. The current situation was indeed very difficult.
"Dear, listen to what Rose says. Don't be angry."
"Something important like this can affect the Lee family's reputation. How can I not get angry?" Francis
didn't want to be become a grandpa without knowing the truth. It would be disrespectful to the Lee
family's ancestors.
"Dad, you are angry right now, so I'll take Rose back." Bright held Rose's hand and was about to lead
her out.
Francis also stood up, yelling to stop him, "Stop right there!"
Bright stopped in his tracks. "Dad, when you calm down, we can sit down and talk. Now I don't want to
make you angry, nor do I want to quarrel with you. How about I leave?"
He didn't want Rose to talk and say something wrong. He didn't want his father to look down on her
and didn't want her to be wronged at all.
He only needed to find a good time to talk to his father about this matter by himself. It didn't matter if his
father beat him and scolded him. He could bear with it.
And so, he insisted on leaving with Rose. Seeing the way Bright protected Rose and didn't respect him
or consider his feelings and the reputation the Lee family built up after generations, Francis' anger
flowed like a river that couldn't be stopped.
"Do you think this matter is over if you leave?" Francis stared at his back.
"It's better to let the children calm down." Hallie stepped forward to manage the conflict between the
father and the son.
"Don't protect them anymore. They are all thirty years old, so why treat them like children?" Francis
saw that Bright had no intention of repenting. He was so angry that when he glanced at the teacup on
the coffee table, he reached out picked it.
Hallie stepped forward and grabbed his arm to prevent Francis from throwing the teacup.
"Don't do this. This will hurt your relationship with your son the most. It also won't solve the problem.
You should still talk to him." Hallie didn't want their father and son conflict to escalate.
The teacup in Francis' hand was taken away by his wife. "Bright, go. If you walk out of this house today,
then don't return in the future!"
