MainNovelChapter 1397:
Ernst said to the security guards stationed at the entrance, “Keep watch on them. If they cause trouble, you
know how to handle it.”
The guards responded promptly, “Understood!”
Brenna settled next to her mother. “Mom, it's not a big deal. Don’t worry. My brother and | will take care of
everything.”
Giselle, still shaken, couldn't stop wondering how Shepard planned to address the situation. “Where is your
father? Don’t tellhe’s still clueless about this,” she said.
Ernst took a seat, his eyes steady on Giselle. “Mom, he’s at my place. He found out about the matter this
morning and cback right away. We discussed it, and he askedto take care of it. Besides, he is certain
that girl isn’t his. Back then, he made sure Keira took emergency contraception to prevent any possibility of a
child.”
Giselle scoffed, her disapproval clear. “Dodging responsibility, hiding the moment trouble shows up—does he
think that’s enough? He made this mess years ago, leftto deal with the fallout, and now expects you to clean
it up. Utterly shameless.”
She vented her frustrations to her children, then pulled out her phone to call Shepard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe hadn’t had a chance to confront him earlier. Her mind raced with questions about how he intended to handle
it and whether he would acknowledge the girl as his daughter.
If the girl was indeed Shepard's daughter, she would divorce him. She would tell Shepard that.
Shepard was at Ernst’s house, casually eating pasta prepared by Lilith. To Lilith, the situation seemed urgent, but
Shepard appeared unperturbed, calmly taking his wife's call while eating with relaxed confidence. To him, it was
a minor issue.
“Hey, honey, how's everything going?”
Giselle’s furious voice erupted through the phone, berating him sharply. Shepard listened patiently to her tirade
before responding, “If she’s my daughter, I'll accept her, but | highly doubt it. Honey, trust me. After all these
years together, have | ever let you down?”

Giselle snapped, “Don’t act like I'm unaware of what you've been up to on your so-called business trips. I'm not
an idiot, Shepard. You can mess around, but don’t bring trouble into this house!”
Her words were harsh; she didn’t mind that Ernst and Brenna were listening nearby.
Ernst and Brenna exchanged surprised glances. Ernst believed his mother was airing long-held grudges, while
Brenna felt a pang of disappointment in their father’s actions.
