His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock
The man said with a serious expression, "My apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. Miss Bates, I'm Niko's father, Timothy. I've come to plead for your forgiveness."
At the mention of Niko, Catherine's face darkened instantly.
Her expression turned icy as she snapped, "I don't want to talk to you." She tried to walk past him.
"Miss Bates!" Lamont quickly reached out to block her again.
Catherine's brows knit tightly, her glare sharp with exasperation.
"What do you want?"
Lamont looked like a mess, his anxiety having taken its toll on him.
He looked at Catherine, his voice trembling with desperation as he said, "Miss Bates, I mean no harm. Could you please just hear me out? I know my son messed up. That's on him, and on me for failing to raise him better. But... could you please let him off just this once, considering he's already paid a price for his actions?"
His voice broke, tears pooling in his eyes. "My son has been taken away by your brother for days. Isn't that enough, Miss Bates? Yes, he wanted to hurt you before, but in the end, you weren't harmed, right? Isn't what you're doing a bit too cruel?"

That was why he had come to Catherine today, hoping she might show some compassion and let his son off.

Chapter 1332:
Johnson was confused. "What do you mean?"
"It's just a hunch, so don't bombard me with questions yet." Belinda dodged further explanation, intentionally keeping her theory under wraps.
Johnson didn't push her.
After the meal, Lucas dropped Belinda off at the hospital before heading back to the office to tackle more work.
In the parking lot of Irondeer University, Catherine had finished her classes and was preparing to drive home.
As she neared her car, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed over. "Miss Bates! Miss Bates!" He planted himself directly in her path, stopping her.
"Who are you?" Catherine's brow furrowed as she eyed him.
The man said with a serious expression, "My apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. Miss Bates, I'm Niko's father, Timothy. I've come to plead for your forgiveness."
