“Aren’t you missing the point? This woman already has a son and is still doing such indecent thingps, the clearly has in sense of prosperitillin bad role model for the child.”
“Poor kid, having to grow up in such a lanily_”
While the crowd was still possiping, Adrian finally recovered from his initial shock.
His face darkened, and be glaredadaggers at Murphy.
He was practically shalding with rage as he snapped, “Where did this bastard come from? Janelle, do you leave no shamed You actually pave birth to bastard from back then?”
As soon as Murphy heard this, the joy from seeing Janelle instantly vanished.
“Who are you calling a bastard?”
Adrian hadn’t expected Murphy to talk back and immediately steered at him. “Of course I’m talking about you. You’re just a kid without a father. What else would you be it not a bastard?”
Janelle’s expression instantly turned cold. “Adrian, you asked for it!”
She cracked her lunickles, ready to teach him a lesson, but before she could take a step toward him, a weak force tugged at the corner of her shirt,
Janelle looked down in confusion.
Murphy gave a faint smile. “Mommy, l’in big now. I can handle this,”
With that, he stepped around lanelle, standing tall and firm in front of her. “Who said I don’t have a daddy? I do!”
Adrian stared at Murphy’s absurdly handsome face and felt a strange sense of familiarity. He couldn’t quite place it, but that didn’t matter.
Back then, he and Catherine had chosen the man for Janelle themselves. He was an ugly and dirty homeless pay. If he himself had no idea who the man was, how could a child possibly know?
Adrian sneered, his face full of contempt. “Hey, little bastard, has your mom never told you that blutting is even more shameful?”
Upon hearing that, Murphy gave him a once–over before replying in a frosty tone, “Those who look down on others like you are the real shameful and pathetic ones! Not only do I have a daddy, but he’s also a million times more handsome than you!
“How could someone like you have the nerve to pine after my mommy? You’re completely delusional and unworthy!”
Loolang at Murphy’s firm and frosty demeanor, Adrian sneered at Janelle. “You really raised a good one, Janelle. That lie rolled off his tongue like it was nothing!”
Janelle rolled her eyes internally.
Hsure was blind. Her Tiffany might like dressing like a boy, but she was a proper little lady!
The fiercely protective Janelle was just about to deal with this jerk who insulted her daughter when Murphy tagged on her shirt again, looking at her as if saying he got this.
Murphy calmly stared Adrian down, his eyes filled with composure. “I’m not lying. Whether it’s money, power, or looks, my daddy beats you in every way. Mommy came to Velmont Hotel today because he invited her!”
Though Jenelle had said she was here to meet someone, Murphy had indeed arranged everything under Benedict’s name. So technically, it wasn’t a lie.
Adrian scoffed in contempt. “Your dad invited her? Yeah, right! Do you even know what kind of place this is? This is the most prestigious hotel under Fletcher Group!
“With your nobody of a father, even if his ancestors started working from the Stone Age, he still wouldn’t be able to afford coming to this place! I’m the one who invited your manm here today. If you’re going to lie, at least come up with something believable!”
The crowd looked at each other in silence and silently agreed,

Even a single night’s stay
Though Adrian was harsh, what he said wasn’t wrong Velmont Hotel in Valoria was practically would cost a fortune, Being able to slay there had become a symbol of status.
Despite Adrian’s words, Murphy remained unfazed, “I wouldn’t waste a lle on someone like you. My daddy didn’t just invite Mommy. He even had the Micillin star chef Roger Schmitt personally prepare a welcome feast to welcome her!”
At that, some of the bystanders couldn’t hold back anymore

“That’s right, little one. We know you want to protect your mom, but lying is wrong! Saying something like getting Roger Schmitt to serve your mom is going too far.”
Seeing the tide of opinion shifting to his side, Adrian puffed up with confidence. He chuckled coldly to himself.
Murphy was trying to humiliate him publicly? As if that was going to happen!
Determined to expose Murphy’s lie, Adrian cleared his throat and looked down at him with serves Mr. Fetcher these days. So, why don’t you tell us who exactly is your so–called all–powerful dad? Let’s hear it!”

Hearing that statement, everyone was stunned.
The entire room fell silent.
