Chapter 482 Megan and Hector were stunned.
Seeing that his father's face was stiff, Hector hurriedly went forward and said, "Heh, well, Mr. Anthony, my father admires you very much, and so do I. How about..." As he spoke, he extended his hand.
Hector only wanted to save Stanton, but when he said that, Anthony's eyes lit up. He said happily, "Really? Mr.
Barker admires me, haha..." He shook Stanton's hand again.
Hector was speechless.
At this moment, someone cover and bent an arm around Hector’s shoulder. That person chuckled and said, "Haha, you admire my father too? What's so good about him? | think we hit it off very well. Let's have a chat?" Hector thought to himself, "Who the hell is this? Hit it off with you? He turned around and saw a young man with red hair and green eyes looking at him with a smile.
Looking at the red hair on his head and then at his green eyes, Hector slowly realized that this man was Anthony's son.
Arvid smiled warmly and looked at Hector expectantly, as if he really wanted to have a good chat.
Hector's expression was strange. His eyes shifted between Arvid and then Anthony as he wondered if there was something wrong with them.
Their behaviors dumbfounded everyone present. It was too unexpected. Old Mr. Page's expression turned visibly sullen. [x] Denver was also a little anxious and could not help but look at Joseph.
Joseph's eyes flashed as he gave the butler a look.
The butler took his hint and turned to leave.

Not long after, the butler cout with a young woman.
With her baby bump slightly visible, she should be more than four months pregnant.
The woman's arrival caused a commotion in the hall because she was too attractive.
It wasn't that she was stunning or something, but she had a cold temperament. She was cold and charming. Her delicate facial features made her extremely appealing.
Seeing the woman's appearance, Edric, who had been quietly following Michael, could not remain calm. He strode out.
Michael grabbed him, and he struggled hard.
"Your sister?" Michael asked.
| Edric's eyes turned red as he stared in the woman's direction. "Yes." Michael said, "Don't go over yet.’ Edric gritted his teeth and stood there motionlessly with his eyes fixed on the woman's direction.
Anthony let go of Stanton's hand and was about to say something enthusiastically when a woman's clear and pleasant voice sounded, 'Mr. Barker." The voice was so beautiful that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Megan and Hector's countenances changed.
Arvid, who was hugging Hector and trying to cotton up with him, also looked over. His eyes widened in surprise.
Hector looked at him with disdain and quietly distanced himself from him.
He thought there was something wrong with the Rutherford family.
Arvid, however, did not feel that he was being despised at all with his eyes glued on the woman who suddenly appeared. He sighed to himself... Other than Miraculous Doctor, all the women in Lucsia were so beautiful! He really wanted to stay in Lucsia and never go back! He even thought about begging Miraculous Doctor to take him in for a while. It wasn't too much for him to feast his eyes on beauties, right? Arvid thought in a daze.
However, no one paid attention to him. At this moment, everyone's attention was on that woman.
The moment the woman's voice sounded, Stanton was gooseflesh all over.
This voice was so recognizable that it simply beca nightmare that he found difficult to explain.
He immediately looked at Megan in panic.
Megan was looking at the woman.
A trace of pride flashed across Joseph's eyes. He feigned a troubled look and said, "Stanton, well, this..." Stanton looked at him coldly.
This woman disappeared after she made a scene in the Barker family. It turned out that she was hiding in the Page family.
It was indeed the Page family who wanted to make his life hard! Stanton sneered. "Mr. Page, | have never offended you.' Joseph looked wronged and said, "Stanton, what makes you say that? I only took her in because | thought she was pitiful. She was pregnant and had nowhere to go. Later, | asked and found out that she was actually pregnant with your child..." As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Stanton with searching eyes.
Everyone in Maestria’s upper-class society knew that the Barker family had a strict upbringing. Many people were envious of Stanton and Megan's relationship.

Unexpectedly, it was only so-so...
Stanton had a mistress and a child...
The woman looked at Stanton with teary eyes. She looked like she wanted to say something but paused, as though she did not quite know how to begin.
Joseph sighed and said, "Stanton, you've made her pregnant, so you have to take responsibility. We're all businessmen. You can't do things against your conscience!" "Joseph, don't talk nonsense. Stanton doesn't know this woman at all!" Megan rebuked angrily.
Joseph looked at Megan and said, Mrs. Barker, | know how you feel, but this woman is really poor. The child she's carrying is also innocent. The Barker family can't just hound her to death for your reputation.
"If I hadn't bumped into her at that time, she would have..." Everyone looked at Stanton in shock.
Stanton's eyes were cold as he cast a stern glance at Joseph. He looked at the woman and asked, Tell me, whose child is it? Why did you frme?* The woman's body trembled. She didn't dare to look into Stanton's eyes, but she said firmly," Mr. Barker, | won't disturb your family, and | don't want a single penny from you. | just want to beg you to letgive birth to this child. The child is innocent. | will leave Maestria with the child and never appear in front of you again..." Stanton's face turned green with anger.
The woman then looked at Megan and knelt down. "Mrs. Barker, | beg you, please giveand the child a way out..." There was a deathly hush in the hall.
A moment later, a series of gasps sounded. This was really a shocking scandal.
This time, the Barker family's good reputation that they had accumulated for a few generations was probably ruined.
If word got out, who would believe the Barker family's credibility? Who would dare to work with them without any grudges like before? So it turned out that such a scandal was hidden in the family under such a beautiful reputation.
Everyone stole glances at Anthony and his son. They assumed that Floyd would probably see the Barker family differently. Their enthusiasm toward the Barker family would be replaced by anger.
