Zachary blinked before answering calmly, "His woman was about to have surgery to terminate her pregnancy. When Dad tried to stop her, she told him it was because I told her my dad didn't want the baby. So, she acted on impulse and went to the hospital to have it terminated." The officers in the car fell silent, digesting his words. One of them finally broke the silence. "Wait, isn't this woman your mother?" "Of course not. Even before my mom divorced him, he was already secretly seeing her. She's his mistress." The officer asked, "Did you really contact her?" "Of course not. I'm focused on my studies right now. I don't have the tor interest to meddle in their affairs," Zachary said firmly, shaking his head.
The officer understood the situation. "So, you're saying your father blamed you unfairly?" Zachary replied with a slight frown, "You could put it that way. Could you helpget a medical examination later? When he hit me, he used a lot of force. I think my ear might not be working properly anymore." The officers exchanged concerned glances before saying, "All right. We'll make sure you get treatment while we're there." "Thank you," Zachary said obediently.

The recipient quickly responded, "What is it?" Zachary sent over the video of Steven hitting him earlier. Then, he added, "I suggest you don't release it just yet. I'm about to undergo a medical examination for my injuries.
"Once the results cout, if the injuries are serious, the police will definitely arrest Steven. You should arrange f for someone to wait outside his house. Then, record a video of him being escorted into a police car and upload it online." Zachary's gaze grew colder as he continued, "I'm sure his company's shares will plummet." The person hesitated before replying, "Aren't you his son? Why are you helping me?" "I wish I could still be his son, but he's already disowned me. Besides, he hitbecause of his mistress t This is just a minor act of payback-considering the circumstances, I'm being rather generous." The other party fell silent.
