Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“Sir, these are all the contracts with Miss Yuliana,” Cole stepped into the office and placed a tall pile of documents in front of Shane.

He then glanced at Shane, whose expression hadn’t changed since his entrance, and asked cautiously, “Are you really going to terminate all partnerships with Miss Yuliana?”

After all, it was owing to the Fuller Group that Yuliana managed to rise to the top of the entertainment industry and keep her position as titlist for the fifth year in a row.

However, if the Fuller Group were to cut ties with her…

There was little to no doubt that Yuliana would plummet from her high pedestal. Most importantly, this was also an indirect representation of the end of her relationship with the president.

Shane briefly glanced up at Cole from where he was sitting on the sofa.

Cole immediately realized that he had let his thoughts slip and said things he shouldn’t have. Tactfully, he zipped his mouth shut.

Shane stared at the thick stack of documents and an inscrutable glow seemed to flicker within his eyes.

The only reason he helped her ascend the throne of the entertainment industry was to repay her for saving his life five years ago.

As such, this did not mean that she could allow herself to frolic around and overstep boundaries.

After a moment of silence, Shane slightly raised his head and said faintly, “Schedule a press conference.”

“Yes, sir.”

As Cole bowed his head in response, a ringtone started filling the air from one of his pockets. It was Shane’s business mobile.

The caller ID read, “Fullers’ Residence.”

Cole unwittingly took a quick glimpse at Shane and picked up the call.

The entire duration of the phone conversation was a mere few seconds.

Once he hung up the phone, Cole reported dutifully, “Sir, Madam called to have you return for dinner tonight.”

A tinge of unreadable emotion flashed across Shane’s jet black irises. “What for?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“She said you’ll find out when you arrive.”

…

At seven o’clock sharp, Shane pulled up at the Fullers’ residence on time.

The servant from earlier stood by the door and merrily announced in the direction of the house, “Madam, Young Master is back.”

“Aunt Ophelia,” greeted Shane politely.

With that, Aunt Ophelia grew even jollier and her face glowed with delight. She looked at Shane as though he was her own son and followed behind him as he entered.

Ophelia Miller was Raina’s personal maid. In fact, she had been by her side since she married into the Fullers.

Ophelia had watched Shane since he was a wee infant. She doted on him as if he were her own child.

“Young Master, you haven’t been back in a while. Today, Madam made sure to instruct the chefs to prepare your favourite sweet and sour pork ribs,” Ophelia told Shane excitedly.

Just then, Raina shot her a glare from where she was sitting on the couch. Ophelia immediately stopped herself and turned into the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

Shane walked directly toward Raina. It appeared he had no intention to sit down.

“Is there anything I can do for you?” he asked.

His tone contained not the slightest hint of warmth, nor did he address her properly.

Raina was shaken by her son’s attitude toward her, but she quickly regained her stance as the strong, independent woman she was.

“Now that you’re here, I’d like to ask if you’ve recently been enticed by a woman named Charlotte Emerson.”

“Is that all you summoned me back for?” Shane wasn’t quick to deny.

“So it’s true!” Raina grew furious. “Did you know that that woman has a child born out of wedlock?”

Shane stared deep into his mother’s wrathful eyes, his thin lips curled up into a smile that housed no warmth.

“Since when have you become so concerned about my affairs?”

“I am your…”

“If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave now,” interrupted Shane before she could finish.

Raina froze on the spot and a concoction of various emotions flurried within her eyes. Her next words tumbled at the tip of her tongue, but she eventually gulped them down.

Just as Shane turned around to leave, she sprung up to her feet abruptly.

Sternly, she ordered, “As president to the Fuller Group, you must always keep in mind the Fuller family’s reputation and exercise caution in your actions. Do not keep a woman with no self-respect by your side any longer.”

Shane’s gait faltered and he halted in his steps. He turned back to Rainer and replied unhurriedly, “You needn’t worry about such matters.” A slight grin seemed to hang upon his face, and the usual coolness resided in his eyes. “As for the family’s reputation, haven’t you been doing a great job at upholding it?”

The second he finished speaking, Shane spun around and left the residence without further ado.
