Chapter 912

"Dad, you're the one being stubborn here! Sydney's not like that, you've got it all wrong. While other people might marry troublemakers, I sure didn't. Just because others have made mistakes doesn't mean I have too."

Brandon just stood there, speechless.

Bennett, watching from the sidelines, almost felt like clapping for Rowan, amazed at how clueless he could be.

Rowan was as stubborn as a mule, refusing to listen to anything Brandon had to say.

Brandon tossed a folder at him. "Take a good look at this!"

Rowan opened it and couldn't believe his eyes.

But he quickly tried to keep his cool.

Brandon, with a commanding presence, pointed his cane at Rowan. "You fool! You've been duped for twenty years and you're still strutting around like you've got it all figured out. Do you even get what's going on?"

The folder Rowan held was a dossier on Sydney.

Josefina and Oliver had dug up the information, put it together, and handed it to Brandon.

Furious, Brandon had come to Rowan's place to see how long his son would keep up this charade.

"This can't be real! This is all fake, made up! How can you fall for this crap? It's gotta be Oliver, that backstabber, just trying to get me to kick Sydney out!"

Bennett had heard enough, his brow furrowed in frustration.

"Master Rowan, Master Oliver is not the kind of guy to make stuff up!"

"Is it your place to speak up? Why are you butting in?"

Brandon's cane came down hard on Rowan's leg.

"Bennett watched you grow up; he's like family. Rowan, if you dare to talk back to Bennett, what's next? Are you going to talk back to me?"

Rowan's left leg throbbed in pain, and just as he was about to speak, Brandon's stern look shut him up.

Brandon's icy stare almost made Rowan want to crawl into a hole.

"Dad, you're wrong about Sydney. She's not like that. Even when I

wasnt the CEO or chairman of the Baldwin family, she was still with me."

"That's because I handed the

company over to Oliver! She saw her hopes slipping away and decided to

take the long way around. She's Sticking with you, waiting for a chance to get rid of Oliver!"

Rowan just couldn't accept that this was the truth.

"If you're going to be this hardheaded, I might just pull a Patrick and cut you off."

Brandon, fuming, stood up, and Bennett quickly moved to help him.

"Bennett, let's get out of here."

Bennett helped Brandon as they headed for the door.

As they reached it, Brandon spotted Sydney coming in.

Sydney's face showed her discomfort at seeing Brandon, her expression turning uneasy.

"Dad, you're here."

Brandon didn't acknowledge her, turning instead to Bennett.

"Bennett, do you see anyone else here?"

Bennett shook his head. "Nope."

Brandon looked straight at Sydney, enunciating each word. "Who are you calling

dad? I don't see your dad around here."

Sydney didn't reply, her anger simmering.

Brandon had never acknowledged her role in the family.

Still, Sydney put on a brave face, smiling Dad, even if you won't acknowledge it, I'm married to son so that makes me your O daughter in law."

Brandon shot back, "You're dreaming too much. I'm going to disown Rowan."

With that, Brandon cast a cold glance at Sydney, his eyes icy.

"Bennett, let's go. Call the lawyer; I want to cut ties with Rowan."
