Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Giving Children a Healthy Family
Henry Thompson’s words were quite explicit in his refusal; but he had forgotten that just like him, Justin Battleson was a man who once turned tides in the business world.
How could such a man easily give in?
Within seconds, Justin Battleson crossed his legs and lightly tapped his right index finger on his leg, rotating it intermittently. He chuckled before saying, "Henry Thompson, it’s not over yet, remember, I am Justin Battleson."
"Charlotte Thompson is your family’s heiress, and I am the CEO of the Battleson Group. Over the years, the power of Battle Group has been on par with that of the Thompson Family, an obvious fact for all to see, so what I’m trying to say is..."
"I am a match for her".
He paused, before Henry could speak, he continued, "If the Thompson family insists on obstructing, I won’t mind going all out until the bitter end."
His tone was still unabashedly aggressive, almost arrogantly inconceivable.
Henry Thompson furrowed his brows deeply, analyzing the pros and cons in his mind.
Indeed, the Battleson Group and Thompson family were evenly matched but if they were to really clash, it would be a Pyrrhic victory for both. Obviously, that’s not something either party would want to see.
Moreover, Henry Thompson was certain without a doubt that Justin Battleson wouldn’t just spout empty words.
A man as decisive and resolute as him always followed through with what he said.
Henry Thompson leaned back in his chair, the tea cup in his hand still emanating faint warmth. A wisp of steam rose from the tea, he shook his head in resignation and said softly to Justin Battleson, "Whether the Thompson family supports or not is dependent on Charlotte’s feelings for you. Since she has no interest in you, even if you eventually get to that point, I can only tell you that a forced relationship won’t be sweet."
Upon hearing this, Justin Battleson shrugged, his eyes flashed with determination to win, but his tone was nonchalant, "Henry, but you also know that when Charlotte first arrived to Ashton, she had had triplets and raised them alone till now, I am the biological father of the children, and after having been absent for their first five years, I don’t want to miss out on their entire lifetime."
He looked up at Henry and said calmly, "Brother Henry, if Charlotte and I were together, we could provide the children with a complete family. I believe this is what you hope for as well, so why not?"
Henry hadn’t thought about the children, but now that Justin had brought it up, his breath hitched and he was caught in a dilemma.
The fact that Justin Battleson is the biological father of the children is something Charlotte did not hide from him. When the truth resurfaced the most shocked person, besides Charlotte, was probably him.
He had privately investigated the incident that occurred five years ago, but due to the break in various clues at the time, he eventually had to let it go. He made what he thought was the best decision and took the pregnant Charlotte to Ashton
He once thought that the incident would gradually fade away with their departure and eventually be buried and forgotten in their memories. Time would heal all the wounds Charlotte had suffered. Even if she was alone, having her own children meant she had nothing to fear, she was invincible.
But who was to know that the past was to finally come to light.
Justin Battleson is the biological father of the children, that’s an irrefutable fact.
The air in the room suddenly fell silent, no one spoke for a moment. Henry Thompson rubbed his temple, caught between a rock and a hard place.
