Chapter Nineteen: Not The Biological Father

Nathan had not been able to focus on a single thing all day.

He had snapped at his everyone, He moved through three meetings without retaining anything that was said in any of them. His responses had been adequate, the correct words assembled in the correct order, but there was nothing behind them. He was operating entirely on the surface of the day while something underneath kept pulling at him and refusing to be named or set aside.

He knew what it

    IT'S JANEEmma's face turned pale the moment the judge finished speaking.For several seconds, she simply sat there staring at him, her fingers gripping her handbag so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The confidence she had walked into the courtroom was disappearing little by little, replaced by a growing sense of panic she could no longer control."I..." she began, only for her voice to catch in her throat.The entire courtroom was watching her.The reporters sitting in the back had completely forgotten about taking notes. Every pair of eyes was fixed on Emma as they waited for her answer.Beside her, Jane's expression wasn't looking much better. The older woman kept glancing between the judge and the documents on the table as though hoping someone would suddenly announce that there had been a mistake.Unfortunately, nobody did.The judge remained patient for a few moments before repeating the question."Miss Emma, can you explain how this authorization letter came into your p

    IN THE COURTROOM "We will now begin the hearing regarding the plagiarism case against Miss Sarah Irish."The judge's voice echoed through the courtroom and everyone became silent.Emma sat confidently beside Jane, her expression calm and composed. She glanced toward Sarah, waiting to see the fear she expected to find.But Sarah only sat there quietly and that irritated Emma more than she wanted to admit.How could she still remain so calm? She thought to herself, clenching her jaw.The judge looked toward the plaintiff's side."The plaintiff may present their evidence."Emma's lawyer stood immediately. "Your Honor, my client is not the original creator of the design. However, she has received authorization from the original designer to pursue legal action against Miss Sarah Irish."The lawyer opened the file in front of him. "We have submitted the ownership records, the original design documents, and the authorization letter proving that the original creator has given permission for

    THE COURTROOM The courthouse had never been so crowded.Long before the hearing was scheduled to begin, reporters, bloggers, and curious onlookers had already gathered outside the building. Cameras flashed constantly as people pushed forward, eager to secure the best position.After all, the plagiarism scandal that had dominated the internet for days was finally reaching its conclusion.Everyone wanted to witness Sarah Irish's downfall.Inside a black luxury sedan parked across the street, Emma stared at the crowd through the window and smiled."They came." Jane sat beside her, equally pleased. "Of course they would. By this afternoon, Sarah's reputation will be completely destroyed."Emma's smile widened.For the first time in days, she felt relaxed, the forged authorization letter was ready, the lawsuit had been accepted.The public was already on her side. Everything was proceeding exactly as planned. Even if Sarah somehow managed to prove she hadn't copied the design, the damage

    NATHANEventually, Nathan glanced at his watch again and silently cursed the meetings that had been waiting for him since morning. If not for work, he wasn't sure he would even be thinking about leaving. The realization alone made him frown slightly. Since when has he become so comfortable sitting in someone else's house and listening to children's voices? He pushed the strange thought aside and stood up, causing Sarah to look up from her tea."Leaving already?" she asked with a faint smile.Nathan nodded and reached for his coat. "I've delayed enough meetings."Sarah smiled helplessly. "Mr. Reed, thank you for bringing Alex over. You don't have to pick him up today. The kids have been asking for him since yesterday, and I think they'll refuse to let him go now."Nathan's eyes instinctively drifted upstairs where the sound of laughter occasionally reached them. Alex had never laughed so much in the Reed mansion. In fact, the boy hardly spoke there. Yet after meeting Sarah and her chil

    The dining room, which was usually quiet, had somehow become unusually lively.Aria and Alex sat side by side, arguing passionately over who had received the bigger pancake, while Adin sat between them with a helpless expression on his little face, trying his best to act like the mature one among the three."Mummy, Brother Alex stole mine!" Aria complained with puffed cheeks, pointing accusingly at the culprit beside her.Alex immediately widened his eyes in disbelief."No, I didn't! Grandma Cassy gave me this one!""You're lying!""I'm not!"Seeing another war about to break out over breakfast, Sarah shook her head helplessly and was about to intervene when a deep voice cut through the noise."Eat properly."Nathan's tone wasn't loud, yet the effect was immediate.Alex obediently lowered his head and resumed eating, while even Aria blinked her large eyes and quietly picked up her fork again as though nothing had happened.Adin stared at Nathan with admiration written all over his lit

    Sarah froze.Standing outside her villa, one big and one small, were Nathan and Alex.Before she could even react, Alex broke free from his father's side and threw himself into her arms happily."Mummy!"Sarah almost lost her balance before she steadied herself and hugged the little boy."Alex." She smiled helplessly and pinched his cheek lightly. "Didn't I tell you not to call me that?""But you're Mummy." Alex blinked innocently. "Aria and Adin call you Mummy too."Sarah could only laugh helplessly.Only then did she lift her eyes and meet Nathan's gaze.Nathan stood quietly beside them, dressed in a black suit. His face was as expressionless as ever, but the moment he heard his son call Sarah "Mummy," the corners of his lips twitched slightly.No matter how many times he heard it, he still found it absurd. Yet strangely, he no longer felt the urge to correct him.Instead, his eyes unconsciously fell on Sarah's tired face. Her eyes looked sleepy, and there were faint dark circles be

This little brat had really

    Chapter Two: Five Years LaterThe flight landed smoothly and Sarah gently shook her children awake. They had been sleeping through the entire journey, and now they stirred slowly, blinking against the light with drowsy, rumpled faces."Mummy, why do we have to come here?" Adin asked, rubbing his e
