Abigail looks at her stepmom as her therapist teaches her and also teaches her to speak properly.
“Dad, do you think Mom’s speech will return to normal?”
Louie doesn’t listen to Abigail because she’s focused on an article.
There was a news story that someone wrote informing that Gilbert Tan was not Robin’s real father but Robert Uy. It doesn’t say who wrote that article, but it caught his attention.
“Hey, dad! Are you listening to me?”
“Ha?! Ah, sorry. I focused on this issue. Did you know it says that Gilbert is not Robin’s real father?”
“What?! Please look at the article.” Abigail inspected the article an anonymous writer wrote then.
“What is the reaction of Mr. Tan? When he sees this news, I’m sure he’ll be furious.” Said Louie.
“So that’s it! Unfortunately for Robin, he is the illegitimate son of Mr. Tan.” Abigail was sympathetic.

“Boss, have you read what was said in the newspaper?” said Amer to Roel as they ate together.
“Why is that in the newspaper?”
“Look at you. It was stated there that he was not the real son of Mr. Tan is Robin.” Said Amer.
“Yeah right?! Does that mean Neva has been fooling him for a long time? And to make matters worse, his rival company held by Mr. Uy.” Roel replied.
“So that’s it! Seriously, the duration Mrs. Tan hid about her son. And she probably had no intention of admitting to Gilbert if she hadn’t been beaten up.”
“You’re right there Amer. The karma that happened to him is slowly coming back to Gilbert.” Said Roel.
“Why sir Roel? What are the things that Mr. Tan did? So why are you so angry with him?”
“You’ll also know Amer at the right time.”
“You are the very mysterious boss. Whatever it is, I will respect it.”
“Dad! What are you and Amer talking about?” Gio asked.
“Look at what the article says.” Gio read that and was shocked when he read that Gilbert Tan was not Robin Tan’s father.
“Is this true, dad?! Meaning Robin’s father is different, and it says that Mr. Robert Uy. Ha! Seriously, I can’t believe it. Maybe many have already read it. What will Mr. Tan do when he finds out that someone has spread this issue?” Said Gio.
“Of course, his anger is sky high because he knows his company will be affected.” Her dad answered.
The issue about Robin’s family is widespread. It has also reached the province.
Franco hurriedly told his niece Lira about the Tan family.
“Lira, Lira… Come read this in the newspaper.” Lira was in a hurry to see what had happened. She read it and she was depressed.
“Is this true, uncle? Or maybe someone just wants to live with Robin’s family.” Said, Lira.
“What will he gain by writing a lie if it’s true that it’s not fake news?” Franco asked.
“You know, there’s a lot of anger in Robin’s family.”
“Oh! Why do you look like that to me? It looks like you’re making a sound,” Franco replied.
“I said nothing, uncle. Is it bad to look at you?”
“I thought I was the one you doubted. I know nothing about your boyfriend’s life.” Franco’s defense.
“I’m not saying anything like that. I’m worried about Robin’s reaction when he finds out that the issue about their family is widespread.” Said, Lira.

“Mom, please, I want to know the truth right from your mouth. Is it true that dad Gilbert is not the real father? Instead, Robert is my father?”
Neva couldn’t speak, she was just an idiot. She didn’t know what else to say.
“What Neva, speak up. Answer your child’s question.” Gilbert shouted.
Neva’s tears suddenly flowed. She had no other alibi to think of.
“Robin, I’m sorry. I know if I made the wrong decision, I know if for a few years I have been lying to you.” Said Neva.
“What do you mean, mom? Meaning everything he says to me is true. Is it true that dad is not my father?”
“Yes, son! I’m sorry to all of you. Huhu!” Robin was surprised when he tasted Gilbert’s slap on Neva.
“You are an animal! Admit it too, ha! How long have you been fooling me!” Gilbert shouted at Neva because he was so angry.
“Dad! That’s enough,” Gilbert said.
Gilbert did not listen to Robin. Instead, he dragged Neva up to their room to pack her things. He wants Neva to leave his home.
“Please Gilbert, don’t do this to me. I know how much I have sinned against you, but let me be with Robin. I’ve changed a long time since Gilbert. I’ve forgotten about Robert and me.” Neva’s plea.
“Shut up! Yes! Will you obey my command, or will you taste me again?” Gilbert’s voice was loud because he was so angry with Neva.
Gilbert’s brother Ramon arrived with Aurora and Dominic.
“Robin, what happened to your parents? Where are they?” Aurora asked.
“They are upstairs, auntie fighting. They will take care of their lives.” Robin replied.
“Oh, no! What is happening to your parents? We heard what was written in the newspaper.” Aurora said again.
“Yes cousin, we read what was said in the article. Serious cousin, the issue with your family is widespread throughout the Philippines.” Said Dominic.
“Why?! What’s in the newspaper? ”
“This is Robin, read it.” His uncle Ramon handed him the newspaper. He was shocked by what he read.
“Who wrote it and put it in the newspaper?” Robin asked.
“We didn’t know, so we came here to ask you,” Aurora replied.
They saw Neva coming down carrying the suitcase, followed by Gilbert.
“Gilbert, please, let’s talk about the problem with Robin.”
“Why Neva?! You’re going to make a story again! Don’t make fun of me because I have come to the truth.” Gilbert shouted.
Neva knelt in front of Gilbert. She touched Gilbert’s pants, and she was all begging.
“I’m just Gilbert. Just don’t hurt my son. Just don’t send him away from the house.”
“You don’t have the right to decide because this is my house. You are a gold digger. Have you been planning this for a long time? You’re embarrassing Neva, Robert is right because you’re luxurious and it looks like money you cheated on me and left him. You are very smart, but they say that the secret will not last long. Even if you bury it in the ground, it will still evaporate.” Gilbert said angrily.
They were all stunned by what Gilbert said to Neva. None of them could speak. A few minutes later, Gilbert dared to interrupt.
“Bro, that’s enough! Whatever you do to Neva, woman, she is still, you still have nothing against. Remember, there is now a law to protect women and youth.” Ramon said calmly.
“Ramon, don’t interfere with our family problems. I know what I’m doing.”
“Brother, listen to Ramon. We don’t want you to be ruined by what you are doing.” Said Aurora.
“Dad, please, let mom go first,” Robin said.
“Don’t interfere with what you are showing, as if you are conceding to Neva. And why are you here? How did you find out about our family problem?
Ramon approached, and he handed over the newspaper. He read the article, and he got even angrier. While Dominic saw on the internet about that article. Many criticized the Tan family.
“Look at Neva, the shame you brought to our family. You ruined my reputation.” Gilbert shouted.
“Forgive me Gilbert, I didn’t know this would be the consequence of what I secretly did,” Neva replied, crying.
“Shut up and leave this house right now. Leave!”
But Neva doesn’t want to leave, so Gilbert drags Neva to the door to let her out. Dominic and Robin stopped him.
“Dad! Please, that’s enough.”
“Uncle! Don’t hurt auntie anymore. Just talk about your problem.”
“What else can we talk about, Dominic? He has ruined our family before. Even my company, she put to shame. So she has no space in this house.” Gilbert shouted.
“Bro, maybe that’s not the right thing to do to Neva. Talk about your problem.” Said Ramon.
“Don’t interfere with our family, brother, otherwise I might not stop you and your family will also know your secret,” Roel replied.
“Friend, have you seen the Tan family on the internet?”
“Why Kyla? What about them?
“There you read what was posted.” Naneth was surprised by what she read. She did not know the matter.
“Are you sure about this? Isn’t this fake news? Maybe Mr. Tan has an opponent. That’s why the opponent brought up a big issue.” Naneth said, confused.
“I do not know! But guess who Robin’s real father is? Robert Uy is Althea’s dad.”
“Oh! Are you serious there, Kyla?! Meaning Althea and Robin are siblings to the father?”
“Exactly! That is what it says here that he is the father. Views, shares, and comments on internet friends are great. The Tan family has been very embarrassed.” Said Kyla.
“Pity my nephew and cousin when they found out about this news.”
“Oh! How are you?! You care about other people more than yourself!”
“Lira and her son do not differ from me. They are also my family, Kyla.”
“I know Naneth! But in your current situation, did you get to worry about them? I’m impressed with you.” Kyla replied.
“Ouch!” Kyla was confused why Naneth was crying.
“Friend, are you okay?! What happened to you?"
"I don't know, the baby is kicking hard!"
“Ay! He may have heard what we were talking about. Your son is smart when he comes out.”
"Sure and brave like her mommy!"
“I hope so! Just don't tell his father who he is because he is an irresponsible person.”
Kyla and Naneth didn't know that Gio was listening to their conversation.
~~~~~
“Bro! What did you say? Ramon has a secret?”
"Aurora, don't listen to brother Gilbert because he's just angry."
"No, I heard a brother say that you have a secret." Aurora was angry.
“Mom, Dad! What are you? This is not our house where you will fight? Don't pay any attention to what uncle said, mom.” Dominic sighed.
“Come on Aurora, let’s let them go. This is a family fight, so let’s not interfere.”
“So! Now we will leave after hearing what my brother said. Ramon wants to know what brother means.” Disgusted, Aurora said.
Ramon dragged Aurora out. Ramon just apologized to his brother and his family. Because of the busy schedule, they shouldn’t have gone there if it wasn’t for Aurora.
On the way, Aurora and Ramon were still arguing, Aurora forcibly holding the steering wheel until their car staggered into the driveway. They did not realize that they had encountered a ten-wheeler vehicle. Ramon could not escape because they were about to drive. Their car collided with a large ten-wheeler, and the two of them were buried in the wreckage of their car.
The ambulance responded quickly because the driver of the ten-wheeler immediately called the hospital. Investigators arrived and took a statement from the driver of the ten-wheeler. Fortunately, there was a CCTV nearby on the road where they collided.
Dominic did not know what happened to his parents because he did not follow them when he first went to the office after they had a meeting.
A secretary knocked on their door while they were all in a meeting. The secretary reached for the phone and spoke to Dominic. He almost dropped the phone.
"Dominic, what's wrong?" Amer asked. Dominic could not speak.
“Hey! Dominic, are you okay? Why are you stunned? What news did you receive?” Gio asked.
Dominic no longer spoke. He immediately left without letting them know. Amer called the secretary, who handed him the phone.
"Miss, what's that name for Dominic?"
“Sir Amer, that was from the hospital. Sir Dominic's parents seem to have had an accident.”
"What?!" they answered almost simultaneously. They never ended the meeting, and they went straight to the hospital.
Will Dominic's parents be saved? What will be his reaction to what happened?
