Daddy! Mommy Is Pregnant Again novel Chapter 73

"Yes..." Eason admitted with a smile. At the same time, he gave Violet a look in secret.

Everyone knew that Mr. Ward loved his wife and children.

So Eason didn't want Mr. Ward to know about Phoebe's existence.

However, Violet pretended not to understand the look in Eason's eyes. She shook the red wine in her hand and said, "Dad, you must get it wrong! Mr. Murphy's fiancée is my sister."

The smile on Eason's face suddenly stiffened.

A dim light flashed in Mr. Ward's eyes, but it was fleeting, "Oh? Mr. Hunt has an eldest daughter? But why did I hear that Mr. Hunt has only one daughter, who was born to your original wife? Could it be..."

"Mr. Ward, you guessed it right. My elder sister was born outside. My Dad brought her back when he divorced my mother seven years ago." Violet said with a fake smile.

Eason glared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to kill her.

Violet was mocking inwardly.

She had always wondered that she and Phoebe were both his daughters, but why he was so biased?

He could make her apologize to Phoebe for no reason, and even just used her to cover up Phoebe’s identity as an illegitimate daughter. She was not a push-over. Why should she defend his hypocrisy!?

The confrontation between the father and daughter was seen by Mr. Ward.

Mr. Ward's eyes were cold, and even his tone became quite indifferent, "Mr. Hunt, sorry. I am afraid it is impossible for me to help you raise funds. You know I am more family-conscious. I have always been less interested in people who likes to have an affair. So you’d better look for someone else."

After that, he turned his gaze to Violet. The coldness in his eyes dissipated. He became gentle again, "Violet, I have to say hello to some friends. See you next time."

"Okay." Violet nodded with a smile.

After Mr. Ward left, Violet didn't want to stay here any longer. She planned to go back to the rest area.

Eason grabbed her arm and asked reproachfully, "Why did you say that just now?"

Violet blinked innocently, "Am I wrong? I just don't want to cheat Mr. Ward with you. Dad, do you really think that you can always cheat Mr. Ward? Even if you get Mr. Ward's financing now, once Mr. Ward knows that you lied to him, he wouldn't withdraw the funds?"

"This..." Eason’s face distorted, feeling speechless.

After a few seconds, he suddenly narrowed his old eyes and looked Violet up and down, "By the way, I don't seem to ask you yet how you knew Mr. Ward?"

"Does this have anything to do with you, Dad?" Violet pulled her arm back.

Eason suddenly smiled kindly, "I can see that the relationship between you and Mr. Ward is pretty good. Violet, or you can help me talk to Mr. Ward..."

"Impossible!" Before he could finish speaking, Violet refused directly.

Eason pulled a long face, "Violet, I'm your father! Dare you not listen to me?"

Violet smiled faintly, "Seven years ago, the moment you drove my mother and Steven out of the house, you were not my father from that day on."

Hearing this, Eason was shocked and panicked for a moment, as if he had lost something important. But before he had time to think about what it was, the feeling disappeared.

"Okay, since you don't recognize me as your Dad, I don't force it. But I have raised you for more than ten years. You have to pay back this favor!" Eason said gloomily.

Violet didn't expect him to be so shameless that he would threaten her.

Taking a deep breath, just as Violet was about to speak, a cold voice sounded from behind, "Mr. Hunt’s behavior really make me so shocked!"

"Mr. Murphy." Violet was overjoyed and turned back quickly.

Stanley gave a hmm. He walked over, and looked at Eason, "This is the first time I have seen the parents who threatened their children!"

Eason was a little embarrassed, "Stanley, you misheard me. I didn't threaten her. I just discussed with her..."

"Enough! I saw and heard everything. You don’t have to explain to me! Leave here right now!" Stanley raised his hand to drive Eason away.

Eason didn't dare to confront with Stanley, even if he was his nominal future son-in-law.

So after a fake smile, Eason walked away dingy.

"He treated you like this when you were in the Hunt family?" Stanley looked at Violet.

Violet smiled bitterly, "Almost, but better than now."

Before she and her mother hadn't known Talia and Phoebe, he was kind to them.

"Really?" Stanley lifted his chin, and then reminded, "Eason just likes to show off in front of others. As long as you know his secrets, he won't dare to hurt you."

Violet's heart warmed and she nodded seriously, "I see! Thank you, Mr. Murphy. You helped me out again. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I will have to argue with him for a long time."

"Never mind." Stanley took a sip of the wine in the glass, "Why are you here?"

"Director Murphy invited me." Violet didn't lie to him, showing him the invitation card in her handbag.

Stanley understood everything instantly. His face sank.

It turned out that she bought jewelry a few days ago just to attend tonight's banquet!

Thinking of this, Stanley pursed his thin lips tightly, and looked at Heart of the Fire on Violet's neck. Suddenly, he didn't feel it dazzling anymore. He just felt it was not pleasing to the eye. He even wanted to tear it off and take it away.

But in the end, he resisted the idea, put the wine glass in his hand on the tray of the passing waiter, turned and left with the coldness all over his body.

Violet was dumbfounded. She didn't understand why he left suddenly.

It seemed that he was very upset?

Did she say something wrong and provoke him?

Before Violet figured it out, the banquet began.

Ivan came down from the second floor wearing a white suit. After taking the microphone brought by the waiter, he stood on the high platform and gave a speech of thanks.

At the end of the speech, it was the dance party.

Ivan, as the birthday person tonight and the protagonist of the banquet, naturally danced the first dance.

Just when all the celebrities expected that he would invite one of them to dance, Ivan put down the microphone and walked towards Violet with a smile.

"This beautiful lady, can I invite you to dance?" Ivan made an inviting gesture to Violet.

Violet felt the envy and jealous eyes from all around her. She felt a lot of pressure.

She actually didn't want to dance with him. But today was his birthday and it was not good to refuse him so directly, so she agreed.

"My pleasure!" Violet made a princess posture and gently placed her hand on Ivan's palm.

Ivan squeezed her finger and led her to the open space in front.

When they walked to the center, the music rang and the two danced.

The crowd at the banquet automatically formed a circle to watch them dance.

Stanley and Phoebe were among them and they were still in the first row.

Phoebe held Stanley's arm with a look of amazement, "Stanley, brother invited Violet to come to the birthday party, and also invited her to dance the first dance. Do you think they are together? "

Stanley withdrew his arm expressionlessly, ignored her, stared at the dancing men and women, and narrowed his eyes darkly.

Ivan sensed Stanley’s gaze and looked at him while taking advantage of the spin gap.

Seeing the emotions in Stanley's eyes, Ivan provocatively gloated at Stanley and pushed Violet to himself, bringing Violet closer to himself.

This scene made Stanley's face change immediately. His eyes were full of anger.

Afterwards, he grabbed Phoebe's wrist and walked to the dancing venue.
