A Love Trap

"They were about the same age, at most four or five years' difference. We never paid any attention to that.

Who knew it would turn out like this."

They never expected that things would come to this.

"So you were clear that Angelina was not from the Gu family?"

Because of what had happened before, the Li family didn't have it in them to lie in front of Jeremy.

"Yes, exactly.

Ah, no. We just happened to know that a while ago.

Well, we stumbled across something when we cleaned up her room last time. Since none of us could decipher it, we took it to the hospital and asked a doctor to shed some light on this matter. We got the shock of our lives when we learned it was a paternity test."

"Where is it? I want to see it," Jeremy said.

"Yes, just go and get it," Jeremy's assistant urged. Jacob gestured Hannah to fetch the paternity test report.

Hannah went inside the bedroom and soon came out carrying it. Quickly, she handed the paper to Jeremy and said, "Here it is."

Jeremy opened it and his eyes ran over the paper.

It was indeed true.

In the corner, he noticed the time. It was done almost at the same time that he was at the hospital.

Handing the paper to his assistant, he said briefly, "Give it back to them."

With that, Jeremy left, barely looking back.

His footsteps wobbled.

Nobody knew what to make of his reaction.

"President Jeremy..."

The assistant looked at Jeremy with concern.

But Jeremy only quickened his pace and soon he was out of their sight.

The assistant took out a check for one million dollars and said, "Here is one million. I want all of you to keep this a secret. Even Angelina shouldn't know that we came here. Just treat her the way you treated her before."

"Fine, okay."
