His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 257

"What a great bigger picture," Miles chuckled lightly, sliding his phone back into his pocket. "Since you gave up on me back then, what are you doing here now? You saw I made something of myself, so you decided it's time to play family?"

He saw right through them. If he weren't a massively famous singer with over twenty million fans, they wouldn't have come looking for him even if they knew he was alive!

Seeing he wasn't budging, Eleanor grew anxious. "We were truly forced into a corner back then! What parent would willingly abandon their own flesh and blood?"

"Oh, I'm looking right at them."

Struck in a sore spot and seeing that reasoning was useless, Richard flew into a humiliated rage.

He pointed a finger directly in Miles's face. "Stop acting like you're the victim! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even exist! If you dare disown us, your mother and I will go straight to the media and ruin you!"

"Let the whole world see how a superstar with twenty million fans abandons his own parents! Let's see if you can still keep your career after that!"

With that, Richard took a step forward, raising a hand to strike his son in a display of ultimate authority.

Just then, the half-open door was pushed wider.

"Which media outlet did you plan to visit, Mr. Sutton?"

A deep, icy voice sounded behind them, carrying a terrifying pressure that made their hearts drop.

Archer strode in, his long legs eating up the distance. He didn't spare the Suttons a single glance.

He wore a pristine, impeccably tailored white shirt. Though he wasn't wearing a tie, the collar was buttoned flawlessly to the top.

His sleeves were rolled up slightly, and the prayer beads on his right wrist swayed gently with his movements. An overpowering aura of absolute dominance radiated from him.

Richard froze instantly, swallowing hard as his arrogant fire was extinguished in a second.

Richard and Eleanor's faces turned ashen.

The Sutton family business had been failing in recent years. When they learned that Miles was actually their "dead" son, they had planned to use blood ties to reel him back in.

They thought they could use his superstar status to pull the family out of the mud.

But now... that final sliver of hope had been ruthlessly crushed by Archer in just a few quiet words.

Unwilling to concede, Eleanor grabbed Richard's arm and shrieked, "He is Wesley! He admitted it online himself! He's my flesh and blood! How can a piece of paper say we have no relationship?!"

She whipped her head toward Archer, emboldened by desperation. "Mr. Vanderbilt, you might have the world in the palm of your hand, but you can't just bend the truth! We'll get a DNA test! Once the DNA is verified, I'll see who dares deny it!"

Archer's gaze darkened. He lifted his eyes to meet Eleanor's, but there was not a trace of warmth in his black pupils.
