CHAPTER 7: CHAPTER 7: THE MOST DISTINGUISHED MAN IN RAVENSWOOD

Leon Keane heard someone arguing in the lobby, and his noble gaze swept over, his pupils constricting fiercely when he saw Timmy Monroe.

His first reaction was that his son was being bullied!

He frowned—wasn’t Special Assistant Stern supposed to take Ian back to the old house? How did Ian end up here?

Leon decided to deal with those bullying his son first, then address Special Assistant Stern’s incompetency.

Ignoring the lobby manager, Leon strode over to Ivana Monroe and her son, and when he saw Timmy’s eyes were red, his expression turned colder.

"Leon... President Kane, what a surprise, I didn’t expect to run into you here." Zachary Heston had always wanted to collaborate with the Kane Group. His PR attempts to break through had failed, and even visiting in person couldn’t secure a meeting with Leon Keane.

What kind of wind brought Leon Keane right before him today?

Zachary Heston let go of Michelle Monroe, giving a brief introduction of himself, extending his hand to Leon Keane, hoping to shake hands.

Caleb Monroe’s eyes brightened, as if seeing a benefactor. With a smiling face uninvited, he cheerfully introduced himself to Leon Keane as Zachary Heston’s future father-in-law.

Michelle Monroe had heard of Leon Keane’s famous name, and upon seeing him in person, he was even more handsome than in the magazines.

Michelle Monroe held her breath, the contrast between Zachary Heston and Leon Keane was too evident when they stood together. Why hadn’t she met Leon Keane sooner?

If she’d met him earlier, how could she have considered Zachary Heston?

It was all Ivana’s fault, that little wench. Falling for Zachary Heston led her to like him too.

The family’s attention was entirely focused on Leon Keane, as if they had forgotten Ivana’s existence.

Even the outsider, the lobby manager, found this scene inappropriate and suspected whether this family had deliberately held the banquet here to hobnob with President Kane!

Leon Keane didn’t even glance at Zachary Heston’s outstretched hand. He bent down and said "thank you" to Ivana, taking Timmy out of her arms.

The guests around sucked in a breath; now that he was in Leon Keane’s arms, he truly was his biological son.

Those who offended Timmy Monroe were going to be unlucky.

Zachary Heston felt embarrassed by Leon Keane’s cold demeanor, and was further stunned seeing Leon Keane holding the illegitimate child born to Ivana Monroe.

It wasn’t just Zachary Heston.

Jean Shaw and Michelle Monroe were also dumbfounded—how could someone as distinguished as Leon Keane hold an illegitimate child?

Leon Keane held Timmy up, bringing their faces close, almost identical.

"Who was bullying my son? Calling me scum?" Leon Keane was very protective, his cold gaze slowly swept across Zachary Heston, Michelle Monroe, Caleb and his wife, every person’s face.

What?

The illegitimate child is Leon Keane’s son?

Zachary Heston frowned; beyond shock, he felt uncomfortable as he stiffened and withdrew his fingers.

"President Kane might be mistaken, this illegit..." Leon Keane gave a deadly stare, frightening Jean Shaw into changing her words: "What I mean is, he’s Ivana’s child born from her fooling around at night clubs, with someone. How could a person of President Kane’s stature sow seeds in such filthy places as night clubs?"

Jean Shaw didn’t believe Timmy Monroe was Leon Keane’s child.

Michelle Monroe also didn’t believe: "With technology being so advanced now, some might cruelly alter a child surgically to resemble President Kane as a child, trying to use the child to climb up the social ladder. President Kane, don’t fall for such scheming. It would be best to do a DNA test, the truth will be clear."
