Early the following day, many individuals tapped away on their phones or computers while eating breakfast to keep up with current events, only to be stunned and speechless by a piece of breakthrough news. They practically spat the food out of their mouths from the news they had seen! Unbelievable!
Surprising photographs, videos, high-definition faces, headlines, and articles that immediately revealed the identities of those implicated in a controversy dominated the front pages of numerous forums and social media sites.
The affair sparked massive outrage in Emerald Coast County. After all, the people engaged in the controversy were well-known characters to many and not an ordinary identity.
"Wow! Oh my goodness! I wasn't expecting those two to be so filthy! "They even played with glass?!"
"Tsk, aren't those the playboys Alaric Voss and Brendan Reed?" Everyone recognizes them. They appeared like friendly individuals, but I wasn't expecting them to be so... horrible!"
"Are there lacking of girls nowadays? Why on earth do they do this with each other?!"
Countless people were debating the issue and viewing the Reed and Voss families from a different perspective.
When Thaddeus saw the news visuals and recordings, he shook uncontrollably and nearly vomited blood! Disappointment arises to his grandson.
Brendan... his grandson, whom he considered his successor, had done something so hideous and ridiculous that he became the laughingstock of the entire county! How can the Reeds will handle this?
At this point, the Reeds' butler went in and softly announced, "Mr. Reed, Mr. Brendan Reed has returned, but he doesn't seem too well..."
Thaddeus snapped before the butler could continue speaking. Tell him to get lost! Take him out of here! Thaddeus Reed will no longer associate with Brendan Reed!"
At that exact moment, the revered and authoritative patriarch of the prestigious Voss family was furious, slapping his hand violently on a table. "Bastard! Everyone in the county had seen and heard about your scandal! You idiot!"
Alaric Voss knelt before the older man, not daring to breathe. However, he attempted to clarify. "Grandpa, someone set me up! He beat me up, drugged me, and imprisoned me beside that loser Brendan Reed. He even purposefully taped and distributed such videos..."
"Who did it?" When the old guy heard this, he became even angrier. Anyone who would dare to do such to a Voss must be bored of life!
"It's Ethan Knight, that useless son-in-law of the Reeds!" Alaric gritted his teeth. When he awoke last night, he had already searched for Brendan and forced him to confess the identity of the offender.
It was embarrassing for him to be toyed with like this by the Reeds' live-in son-in-law!
"Hmph, a loser like him managed to get you into this situation. You are such a letdown! "If you can't resolve this issue, you don't deserve to be my grandson," Mr. Voss Senior remarked coldly.
Alaric lowered his head and tightened his jaw. "Do not worry. I'll exact revenge on him!"
An angry glint of light flashed from his eyes. Ethan Knight feels compelled to seek vengeance or risk losing his humanity.
Meanwhile, Ethan was now escorting Anastasia and Sophia to Emerald Coast County's largest amusement park. They boarded the Carousel, Bump Cars, Big wheel, the Viking boat and the Caterpillar
Sophia, dressed in a stunning princess gown, was beaming with joy.
She finally went to the amusement park with her parents, just like the other children!
She had been clutching Anastasia's hand with her left hand and Ethan's with her right, with genuine joy written all over her face.
Sophia abruptly paused and brought their hands together. "Daddy, Mommy, hold each other's hands."
When his palm made contact with Anastasia's little and gentle hand, Ethan's heart missed a beat, while Anastasia felt embarrassed.
She was about to retreat her hand when Sophia pressed their hands together forcefully. "My classmate Anika informed me that if Mommy and Daddy hold hands like this, they will soon have a baby. "Daddy, Mommy, hurry up and give me another little brother or sister so I am not an only child!"
Anastasia's face and ears suddenly became scarlet. She swiftly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrified.
"Children shouldn't be spouting nonsense!" Anastasia chastised Sophia.
"Huh? Is that wrong? So how do little siblings and sisters arrive? Can you tell me?" Sophia inquired, bending her head with inquiry.
Anastasia couldn't help but be drawn to her daughter's innocent, eager expression. She glared at Ethan angrily.
Ethan laughed, finding Anastasia's embarrassment-induced rage as endearing as Sophia's.
He couldn't handle the thought of Anastasia being ashamed any longer, so he grabbed Sophia and hurried ahead. "Quick, let's go watch the dolphin show!"
"Wow! Dolphins!" Sophia quickly forgot about the things she had been raving about when she heard they would see dolphins.
Anastasia breathed out a big sigh of relief. She couldn't help but smile as she saw the combination of father and daughter run in front of her, laughing happily.
After spending more than half the day at the amusement park, Ethan and Anastasia left, accompanied by Sophia, who was reluctant to leave.
Ethan took Anastasia and Sophia home in a black Jaguar.
After a day of fun, the three of them grew closer.
Sophia walked into the back seat and snuggled close to Anastasia, eagerly chatting about what she had observed today. Then she asked Anastasia, "Mommy, when are we going out to play with Daddy again?" "I am so happy today!"
Anastasia pinched Sophia's tiny nose. "We've already played for a full day. "Are you not tired yet?"
The two of them laughed and played in the back seat, and Ethan smiled as he observed them via the rearview mirror.
Ethan's eyes turned chilly. On the bridge, a Pajero was driving toward them diagonally from the lane opposite them, attempting to collide with the black Jaguar!
"Take care! "Hold on tightly!" Ethan exclaimed. He slammed the gas pedal while rotating the steering wheel, revving up the Jaguar, and raced away, missing the Pajero.
However, the Pajero could not brake quickly due to its vast momentum and crashed directly into the bridge railing and the river below.
"Are you guys alright?" When Ethan pulled over to the side of the road, he quickly turned back to check on Anastasia and Sophia.
Scared and soulless, Anastasia gripped Sophia closely and paled like a sheet from fear. Sophia had no idea they were in danger and was taken aback because she assumed Ethan had braked in an emergency.
Fortunately, both had their seat belts tightly attached and were not wounded.
Anastasia turned back, looked at the broken bridge railing, and murmured, "What's the matter with that car?"
Ethan shook his head, claiming to be relieved to have avoided a close call with death. "Have no idea. Perhaps the brakes broke. It was near to hitting our car."
Frightened, Anastasia looked at the big river and said, "I wonder how the driver is doing." They were on the bridge, unable to see what was happening in the river below.
"Someone over there has already contacted the cops. The police and rescue teams should arrive shortly. Ethan said, "We'd better go first, or the road will be closed later."
Anastasia nodded. She hugged her daughter firmly and felt fortunate. That's a close shove to an accident. Fortunately, Ethan was able to maneuver.
Ethan started the car again, but his eyes were icy this time.
