Chapter 729


    Amelia asserted, “The decision regarding my son’s stay does not rest with you.” She grasped her


    son’s hand, intending to depart and soothe his distress.


    Considering the presence of numerous parents in the vicinity, she was reluctant to allow the


    disagreement to further embarrass Aiden.


    In an abrupt outburst, that same parent eximed, “Why must our children share a kindergarten


    with a child whose parent has a criminal history? I believe a criminal’s child is predisposed to


    criminality. It might even be gic!”


    She voiced her opinion loudly, clearly intending for everyone nearby to hear. In an instant, the gaze


    of all parents shifted toward Amelia and her son.


    Amelia came to a standstill, turned, and leveled a cold, angry stare at the offending parent. “I cannot


    recall any past grievances that justify such venomous words from you. Moreover, your remarks,


    spoken in the presence of children, are utterly inappropriate. I insist on an apology for my son. He


    has never engaged in any uwful behavior, and you are not entitled to maliciously specte about


    his future in this manner!”


    The parent, momentarily taken aback by Amelia’s assertiveness, retorted with a shrewd re, “You


    expect me to apologize? Who do you think you are, demanding such a thing? Just because you


    were incarcerated before, do believe you have that right?”


    you


    “You!” Amelia red at her. The memory of her time in jail was the deepest pain in her heart and the


    origin of all her suffering.


    Despite this, she refused to let her son be ridiculed that day, no matter the cost. Allowing such an


    incident to transpire could scar him for life.


    She gripped her son’s hand tightly and fixed her angry gaze on the woman before her. “If you refuse


    to apologize, I will take legal action against you. Regardless of the time and energy it requires, I am


    determined to ensure you make amends to my son!”


    With unwavering resolve, she vowed to see this through before herst breath. Perhaps, it was one


    of the few acts she could perform for Aiden.


    “Haha, considering legal action, are you? I find it utterly amusing that someone with a criminal


    record dares to threaten others withwsuits!” that woman remarked with a sneer, and she


    dismissed Amelia’s intentions without a second thought.


    Just then, a deep male voice resonated through the air. “If you refuse to apologize, prepare yourself


    for a court summons. What lies ahead won’t merely be a demand for an apology when the time


    comes. I promise you, I will pursue damages that could financially ruin you and leave you with no


    support


    whatsoever!”


    10:54


    The icy tone and fierce demeanor of the speaker silenced the arrogant woman abruptly, leaving her


    to gaze at the person before her in shock.


    This woman also had Amelia’s history on the Inte. Naturally, she hade across those online


    images of Warren and was well aware of his appearance. Initially, she had assumed that Warren


    would harbor disdain for a child with disabilities.


    However, Warren was standing before her now, and it was evident that he intended to defend


    Amelia.


    Besides, Warren’s background had long been explicitly detailed on the Inte. Although there


    were whispers and jokes about Warren being “The Magnanimous. Cuckold” due to the incident with


    Irene, no one dared utter such words in his

    presence.


    Furthermore, in recent news, Warren had personally reported a series of crimes. within the Fletcher


    family, including fraud. He had even provided meticulous evidence, leading to the detention of three


    members of the Fletcher family by the police.


    Consequently, Warren had also earned the moniker of a ruthless individual on the Inte.


    Given his ruthlessness toward someone who was once his fiancée, there was no doubt that he


    could disy the same cruelty to a stranger.


    The woman’s expression contorted into a hideous grimace, fear flickering across her face.


    After all, she hailed from an ordinary family. Although her family was rtively well-off, and her


    husband held a high-ranking position in the department, inparison to Warren, they were


    significantly less influential.


    If Warren indeed pursued legal action against her, her family would find themselves in a precarious


    situation.


    Initially, she had intentionally sought to draw the attention of the other parents around her, hoping to


    put Amelia in a miserable position. However, the tables had turned, and now all eyes were fixed


    upon her, leaving her the one feeling


    thoroughly embarrassed.


    Overwhelmed with shame, fear, and anxiety, the woman stammered in frustration, “I-I apologize for


    my senseless words earlier. Mr. York, please overlook my thoughtless remarks!”


    “Do not apologize to me, but to my son. And…” He paused, hesitating briefly before adding, “To my


    son’s mother as well!”


    At that moment, he found himself at a loss for words, uncertain how to define the rtionship


    between him and Amelia.


    The woman’s face flushed with embarrassment and awkwardness. Eager to escape the situation,


    she hastily turned to Amelia and Aiden. “I’m truly sorry. I spoke


    10-541


    thoughtlessly earlier. I-I apologize to both of you. I promise I will never utter such words again.


    Please forgive me!”


    After uttering her apologies, the woman swiftly grabbed her son and hurriedly made her exit.


    Amelia lowered her head and said to Aiden, “Let’s head back. Granny is waiting for us at home.”


    “Mommy, what does ‘illegitimate child’ mean?” the young boy suddenly inquired.


    Amelia froze, and Warren, standing beside them, tensed visibly. A fleeting pang of pain flickered in


    his eyes.


    Before Amelia could respond, Warren spoke up. “Aiden, I’m sorry. It’s my fault, but I can assure you


    that you are not an illegitimate child. You are the only child in my life.”


    Aiden, however, pursed his lips and red at Warren. Clearly, he still remembered what Warren had


    said in the parkst time.


    Observing his son’s hostile stance, Warren couldn’t help but take a couple of forward. “Aiden.”


    steps


    “Mommy, let’s go home,” the little boy said, turning his head away from Warren. It was evident he


    didn’t want to talk to his father.


    Aiden had resolved not to like his father anymore. His decision stemmed from his dad’s disdain for


    him and scolding toward his mother, leading to her sadness.


    For Aiden, having just himself, his mom, and granny at home was sufficient. There was no need for


    his dad in their lives.


    Observing his son’s demeanor, disappointment flickered in Warren’s eyes. However, Warren


    acknowledged that he had brought this upon himself, and he had no right toin about it.


    Seeing that Amelia was about to leave with Aiden, Warren rushed forward and said urgently,


    “Amelia, I will help you clear your name. I’ll gather all the necessary evidence. I won’t let you carry


    the burden of a criminal any longer, and no one will dare to speak of you like this in the future!”


    Everything that urred that day inflicted unparalleled pain upon him, sparking deep regret for his


    past actions.


    The wrongful case back then was driven purely by revenge for him. At that time, he believed she


    would only have to endure a three-and-a-half-year prison


    sentence.


    He even considered the Haab family’s daughter to be inadequately punished.


    But now, he realized that her punishment extended far beyond three and a half years. He


    understood that beingbeled a prisoner had a profound impact on her life and on their children’s


    lives as well.
