Chapter 6: Chapter Six: A Half-Sister from the Same Father

Meanwhile, Lambert Vaughan was looking at the information and comments online. His assistant, with a tense expression, was busy deleting comments, but the original post couldn't be removed no matter what they tried, as if it were the work of a hacker.

Lambert Vaughan stared at the photo on the computer. The scene looked like one from his trip abroad a while ago, but the image had been edited so skillfully that most people wouldn't notice any signs of manipulation. The reason it caused such a stir was that the little boy in the photo looked too much like Lambert Vaughan, even more so than Samuel Vaughan. Moreover, the person who posted the photo also included a picture of Samuel Vaughan taken in China at the same time.

The fact that Lambert Vaughan and Gloria Vaughan got married because she was pregnant was not a secret, so now, with the appearance of an alleged illegitimate child, many speculated whether Lambert Vaughan would divorce Gloria Vaughan. This incident also brought some negative impact to the Vaughan Group and the Song family's business, causing their stock prices to drop.

"Mr. Vaughan, we found the surveillance footage from that day, but it has been tampered with. We are currently working on restoring it."

"I don't care what methods you use, you must find the original surveillance footage for me, or you won't need to stay here anymore."

"Yes, Mr. Vaughan."

Lambert Vaughan looked at the photo of the boy who resembled him. Although he knew it was fake, he felt something different in his heart.

After an afternoon of hard work, the assistant and the team finally managed to retrieve the complete surveillance footage.

Upon learning that they had obtained the footage, Maria Conrad laughed sinisterly, "Young Master, now it's time for you and me to put on a show."

"Okay, be careful, Dad."

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

After confirming the video, Lambert Vaughan immediately instructed his assistant to hold a press conference the next day to expose the scam.

When it was announced that Lambert Vaughan would personally clarify the issue about the alleged illegitimate child, the press conference was packed with people. Maria Conrad looked at Samuel Vaughan and said, "Are you ready?"

"Relax." Samuel Vaughan smiled at Maria Conrad, and for a moment, Maria Conrad thought she saw Lambert Vaughan. Indeed, the young master is the young master!

At the Vaughan Group's press conference:

"Regarding the recent rumors about my alleged illegitimate child, I will provide a unified response here," Lambert Vaughan stood on the stage, exuding charm with every gesture. "My team has confirmed that the photos were manipulated. I will now show you the surveillance footage from my trip abroad. Regardless of whether this was a prank or something else, I will not let it go easily. For the inconvenience and confusion this has caused, I apologize on behalf of the Vaughan Group."

Although Lambert Vaughan was smiling throughout his speech, the journalists below felt a chill down their spines. The president of the Vaughan Group was not someone to be trifled with.

Shortly after the video was played, the screen suddenly went black, and a childish voice came out, "Hello everyone, my name is Samuel Vaughan, and this is my half-sister."

As soon as the voice finished, two adorable children holding hands appeared on the screen. Both had watermelon haircuts and wore identical pajamas. The journalists below couldn't help but exclaim; the two really did look alike.

A sister? It wasn't an illegitimate son, but an illegitimate daughter!!!

The news exploded like a bomb in front of Lambert Vaughan. At that moment, his face darkened to the point where no one dared to approach. The assistant immediately ordered the screen to be turned off, but the voice and the photo had already appeared.

"Good, very good. Samuel Vaughan, you truly are my good son!" Lambert Vaughan, who never expected to be betrayed by his own son, adjusted his emotions and addressed the chaotic crowd of journalists, "I will give you a satisfactory answer." With that, he turned and left.

The assistant quickly dispatched people to calm the journalists and forcibly suppressed the situation, ensuring no information leaked out.

Sitting in the car, the air around Lambert Vaughan was thick with tension.

"Mr. Vaughan, we have found out. The child who appeared with the young master, actually a girl who looks like a boy, is Phoebe Conrad's son, Maria Conrad. Back then, Phoebe Conrad slept with a boss for money. Based on the timeline, Maria Conrad should be that boss's child. As for why Maria Conrad and the young master look so similar, it's probably because Phoebe Conrad and Gloria Vaughan are cousins," the assistant informed Lambert Vaughan.

"Find out who slept with Phoebe Conrad back then and arrange a paternity test between him and Maria Conrad. If they are indeed father and daughter, release the results. If not, then..." Lambert Vaughan opened his eyes, a glint flashing in them, "then publish it under my name."

"Understood, Mr. Vaughan. I'll get right on it." The assistant immediately took out his phone and started making calls.

Gloria Vaughan found Phoebe Conrad's residence and, after confirming that Phoebe Conrad was not home, drove over, intending to take Samuel Vaughan away.

At that moment, the two children were each drinking a bottle of yogurt.

"Shuang, did you expose yourself? Phoebe doesn't like that," Samuel Vaughan asked tentatively.

"Young Master, you don't understand. Unlike you, I've never met my dad since birth, and Phoebe seems to avoid mentioning it. I tried to investigate what happened back then, but it's been too long, and some things can't be solved with just hacking skills, so..."

"Oh... Dad will help you!"

"Indeed, the Young Master is the Young Master, very sharp! But I'm surprised you're willing to help me, considering it's slapping your parents' faces!" Maria Conrad took a big sip of yogurt and poured the rest into Chou Chou's bowl.

"Money-grubber, I... don't have a mom." Mentioning Gloria Vaughan, Samuel Vaughan's face darkened.

"Alright, let's not talk about her." Maria Conrad, though a money-grubber, could read the room. "What's a mom anyway? From now on, we're siblings, and Phoebe is your godmother."

"Really?" Samuel Vaughan's eyes lit up. He had wanted Phoebe Conrad to be his mother the first time he saw her.

"Of course..."

Just then, the door to the apartment was pounded on.

"Anzhi, it's Mom, open the door!" Gloria Vaughan was banging on the door frantically. Hearing her voice, Samuel Vaughan's face turned grim.

"It's fine, keep drinking your yogurt. I'll go with Chou Chou. Chou Chou, come on." Maria Conrad led Chou Chou to the door.

Hearing the sound of the doorknob turning, Gloria Vaughan, with a furious expression, was about to rush in when she was startled by a large Tibetan Mastiff, screaming in terror.
