The conversation between the two grew increasingly bizarre.
If the child was Reginald Bates's illegitimate son, then Mrs. Bates should be the child's grandmother, not displaying such a cold demeanor.
Moreover, what did she mean by "if this gets out, what will happen to our family's face?"
While thinking about this, Iris Thompson heard Mrs. Bates continue, "Don't forget who Barry Turner's father died for! He died heroically saving you, and you promised on his deathbed to raise Barry to adulthood, to treat him as your own son!! But now? If word gets out that your fiancée is bullying people like this, how will you face your colleagues at the police station? And everything I've done, who is it for?!"
Iris Thompson: ??
She suddenly realized the truth.
Barry Turner's father was Reginald's comrade, who had sacrificed himself for Reginald.
And Linda Grismer and Barry had become Reginald's responsibility and burden.
No wonder he hadn't denied that Barry was his son.
