Chapter 285
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 285<\/p>\n
Lawrence handed the paternity test report to Jackson. “Do you know why I had Hannah moved out of the psychiatric hospital?”<\/p>\n
Jackson’s lips parted, but no sound came out. His hands shook uncontrollably as he flipped open the folder.<\/p>\n
“I installed a few recording devices in the sanitarium,” Lawrence said, his tone eerily calm. “I heard everything.”<\/p>\n
At first, Hannah had refused to speak to him. The audio files were filled with nothing but Jackson’s endless rambling.<\/p>\n
He talked about their childhood\u2014practicing dance together, performing on stage, winning their first award as a duo. He reminisced about the joy and glory of their past until his voice choked with emotion.<\/p>\n
But Hannah never gave him a single word in response.<\/p>\n
That was until Jasper visited. That night, Jackson asked her if she truly loved Lawrence so much that she would sacrifice her own life and child for him.<\/p>\n
He blamed himself, saying that if he hadn’t lost his mind that night, getting drunk and sleeping with her, things wouldn’t have ended up like this.<\/p>\n
That was when Hannah finally broke her silence. Her voice was raspy, hollowed out by disuse. She told him to shut up.<\/p>\n
In the past, Jackson would never have dared to bring up the secret she had ordered him to take to his grave. But seeing Jasper had shattered his psychological defenses.<\/p>\n
He was the boy’s biological father, a truth that should have been celebrated, yet he had hidden it for three agonizing years.<\/p>\n
But that was more than enough.<\/p>\n
Lawrence had listened to the audio loops repeatedly. His transition from blinding rage to absolute icy calm happened faster than he expected.<\/p>\n
His and Quentin’s suspicions had been dead on. Hannah was faking her current mental illness, weaponizing her diagnosis and her family’s love to manipulate them.<\/p>\n
He had already submitted the recordings to the police and his legal team. Even if unauthorized audio couldn’t be formally admitted in court, it was the critical breakthrough they needed.<\/p>\n
“So tell me,” Lawrence said, a cynical smirk tugging at his lips. “When exactly did she start putting on this act?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-953","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
