Despite the growing crowd, the engaged couple was nowhere to be seen. Susan watched as two more guests entered the venue. The moment she withdrew her gaze, the smile on her lips faded slightly. "Where's Alex? Yolanda has to stay inside to do her makeup and get dressed, so she can't come out to gre
The entire venue erupted into chaos. "This kid said he's from the Jefferson family? What does that even mean?""What else could it mean? It's so obvious. He barged in to stop Mr. Alex's engagement and claimed to be from the Jefferson family, so he's 100% Alex's illegitimate son.""That's impossible
Alex flipped straight to the last page of the report. "After examination, Sample A and Sample B…"The moment his eyes landed on that line, his barely composed expression shifted to utterly shocked. The next second, he lifted his head and looked in the direction of Paul and Miranda. Paul was stunne
Alex laughed in exasperation and asked, "Is it good?"Austin nodded. "It's okay. Not as sweet as the ones we grow in our estate.""Do you even have an estate?""Yeah. Why?"Alex was about to respond when the door opened from the outside. The next second, Felix and Susan stepped into the lounge. Yal
"But the problem now is that we are not sure, and we don't want to make a mistake," Felix said. "That's why we need further confirmation. Like you said, the fastest way is to do a paternity test, but that takes time. "If you have a DNA test report with you that can confirm your relationship with on
Alex was taken aback.For a moment, it felt like time had frozen in the lounge. No one moved. No one spoke. Felix was the first to react. He cleared his throat and said, "Invite her to come up." Then, after a brief pause, he added, "Be polite.""Yes, sir," the assistant replied before turning to le
Esme fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, she lifted her head and studied Alex's face. She took him in from his eyebrows, his eyes, and his nose. Then, she inspected his mouth, jawline, neck, and the slight movement of his Adam's apple.She scrutinized his features seriously and carefully, taking in
Esme was sincerely apologetic.Over the years, she had felt quite guilty toward that man. She had taken advantage of him. She was the irresponsible one. However, she had no choice back then… Either she died, or he lost his innocence. And as the saying went, better him than her. He just happened t
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
Mindy rolled her eyes at him. "You only ever care about your physics test papers and lesson materials. As for anything else… ugh forget it."Lionel chuckled. "So what do we do tomorrow? Are we going or not?""Of course we're going? They came all this way to invite us sincerely. We'll be the ones in
"Mrs. Jefferson, you're too kind," Mindy said.Susan had a pretty good impression of Mindy. It wasn't just because of the dress back then, but also because of Mindy's family background. She came from a truly prestigious and prominent lineage as a lady of the Garrison family. However, she met with m
"Felix? Susan?" Miranda exclaimed. She was momentarily stunned to see them standing at the front door with a suitcase. Her eyes widened in surprise. Paul turned to her and said helplessly, "Miranda… my parents are here."She quickly regained her composure and stepped forward with a smile. "Felix, S
Under Susan's gaze, Jenny felt a chill run down her spine. "You… Why are you acting so weird? Are you mute? You don't look like it from how you're dressed."She shot Susan a glare and muttered, "Crazy woman," before heading back into her apartment building. Susan stayed rooted to the spot. Her face
They made it back from the school to Harold's place just in time for dinner. After dinner, Lionel and his family said their goodbyes. Upon seeing this, Leonard's family made their exit right after. Jenny walked them to the door before collapsing onto the couch, clutching her lower back. "What a ti
Paul's genes ensured both good looks and a decent figure. On top of that, judging by how generous he was with his gifts, he clearly wasn't just an ordinary college professor. He probably came from an affluent family. Elite families like his often went back several generations, which meant his rela
