Chapter 731: Chapter 728: You’re Not Worthy of Being a Father, Either

After speaking, Evan Shelby turned to storm away, but caught a glimpse of Seth Quinn’s face from the corner of his eye.

Seth Quinn paid them no mind, saying to River Sterling who had come up behind him, "River, call the police. Report Autumn Shelby for attempted murder. Also, starting today, use all our resources to crush the Shelby Group. Don’t stop until it’s bankrupt."

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a bone-chilling coldness that made Evan Shelby stop dead in his tracks.

’Crush the Shelby Group with all his resources? Seth Quinn could topple the Shelby Group without even breaking a sweat, let alone using his full power!’

It was as if Evan Shelby could already see the Shelby Group’s dismal future.

River Sterling glanced at Evan Shelby before nodding to Seth Quinn. "Okay."

With that, he took out his phone to call the police.

Evan Shelby took a large step to stand before Seth Quinn, pleading in a deferential tone, "Seth, please spare the Shelby Group. You heard me just now. I’ve already disowned Autumn Shelby. She’s no longer a member of the Shelby Family.

So, she alone is responsible for whatever she’s done. It has nothing to do with the Shelby Family! You can’t take your anger out on our family because of her mistakes."

Yvette Zimmerman, who had been weeping softly in sorrow, snapped her head around at his heartless words, her gaze filled with bitter resentment and hatred.

Evan Shelby, however, refused to look at her. He just kept his eyes fixed on Seth Quinn, waiting for a response.

But Seth Quinn didn’t speak. Instead, a voice from behind Evan, cold and laden with deep disappointment, said, "So, you’ve never been a good father."

Evan Shelby froze for a moment before turning around. He saw Sarah Shelby standing behind him, holding a child and watching him with a cold stare.

"I always thought you didn’t truly love me because I was just your illegitimate daughter, not your proper, legitimate one. I always thought you forced me to marry a man I didn’t love because I wasn’t born in wedlock.

"Even though you also forced Autumn to marry President Quinn, I figured that was different because she at least loved him. I thought that if she hadn’t, maybe you wouldn’t have forced her. After all, she is your legitimate daughter, and you are her legitimate father.

"I hated you for forcing me into that marriage, but I still held on to some small hope for you. But what did I just hear? You’re disowning Autumn just to save the Shelby Family!

"Autumn isn’t a good person, and I won’t waste any sympathy on her. But you’re not disowning her because her actions crossed legal and moral lines, or because you disapprove of what she did. No, you’re doing it to save the Shelby Family, to save the Shelby Group, to save your own wealth and prestige!

"Autumn may deserve whatever she gets, but you... you don’t deserve to be a father!"

Seeing the disappointment on Sarah’s face, Evan Shelby began to panic. ’I can’t form an alliance with the Quinn Family anymore, but I can still use the Stratton Family to get backing from the Linden Family.’

’But if Sarah refuses to help me, then I and the Shelby Family are truly done for!’

"Sarah, listen to your father. The reason I decided to disown Autumn is because I realized how ruthless she is. I..."

But Sarah had no desire to hear any more from him. She glanced down at the baby in her arms, then said, "With the baby’s father’s fate uncertain, I originally thought it would be best for him to be with his maternal grandparents. But now, I see that keeping him far away from you is what’s truly best for him."

With that, she turned to leave, only to see Ewan Stratton standing behind her. She had no idea when he had arrived.

Sarah felt a sudden wave of awkwardness, wondering how long he had been there and how much of her speech he had overheard.
