Chapter 525 He Is A Coward


    Jack''s gaze was icy, while the tone of his voice was brutal. “I don''t want to know how pitiful he


    was. All I know is that he''s a coward, proven by how he left my mom. No matter what his


    circumstances were, what he did was wrong!”


    Armand removed the fragments of paper from his clothes and said in a low voice, “My father has


    always stood by Ms. Valentine, but he is still a member of the Faulkner family and the son that my


    grandpa put all his hopes on.


    “Even though Father wanted to elope with Ms. Valentine, they could not escape. Even if they managed


    to get out of Xedells, they wouldn''t have sessfully left Chanaea.


    “If Grandpa caught them, he would use Ms. Valentine''s life to threaten Father. Perhaps he would even


    take her life topel my father''s obedience.”


    Armand had grown up in the Faulkner family, and he knew everything about Ayden''s brutal methods.


    Ayden was obsessed with controlling his n and hispany. No one and nothing could get in his


    way. For the sake of his business, any of his children could be used as a bargaining chip.


    There was not a single person who would not want to be with the love of their life.


    Unfortunately, as children born in such a powerful n, their fates were not of their own choosing.


    When Armand was a child, he had once seen his outwardly stern, calm, andmanding father sit in


    his study while weeping bitterly with his hands covering his face.


    The thirty-year-old adult male was crying like a child.


    When his father noticed that he was watching, the man ced him on hisp and told him gently,


    “Armand, I hope that one day you will meet a girl, love her sincerely, and be willing to give up


    everything for her. Love is not something that should be sacrificed for profit but rather something


    beautiful worth pursuing.”


    As a child, what the older man said had not meant much to him, but now he understood that his father


    had wished the same thing would not happen to him.


    Hearing that, Jack sneered, “You are Cesar''s son. Of course you are on his side.”


    He then continued, “Armand, you grew up with the Faulkner family, and you were born with a silver


    spoon in your mouth. Do you know what my childhood was like?” He walked up to Armand and said


    slowly, “Let me tell you. I had a drug addict and alcoholic for a father. When he was drunk, he would


    abuse my mother by grabbing her by the hair and smashing her against the wall.


    There were localws. If a man abused a woman, she could get a divorce immediately without going to


    court, but my mother couldn''t since she was an illegal refugee in Dartan, without any ID card or


    money.”

    Jack only had to close his eyes, and the scenes of his mother suffering domestic abuse woulde


    back to him.


    Countless times, he cried as he went forward to push away that drunkard, but he was just a child and


    did not have the strength. The moment he came near enough, he would be kicked away.


    Jack red at Armand and spoke through gritted teeth. “Even an animal was better than that man. He


    wanted to be promoted to the position of bank manager, so he brought some high-ranking officers


    home... I could only watch helplessly as those meny on top of my mother.


    “Tell me, Armand. Don''t you think Cesar was a coward? He knew full well what type of family he was


    born into and that his marriage could not be with a partner of his own choosing. If that was the case,


    why did he woo my mother and tell her he loved her so much?”


    As Jack spoke, he punched Armand in the face.


    Armand did not dodge but received the full force of his punch.


    “This letter that he wrote and the so-called love he proims to have for her are disgusting to me!” Jack


    roared at him. “If he cared about my mother, he should have remained by her side and not sent her


    abroad!”


    Silently, Armand brushed away the blood from the corner of his lips.


    He had not the slightest idea what had happened between his father and Charice. All the while, he had


    thought that he was Isabe''s son.


    It was only muchter that he found out everything.


    Jackughed when he looked at the subdued Armand. “Aren''t you going to defend your father?”
