That villain must've known about the secret of the paternity test already. Dummy might've stolen a blood sample from the Luther residence's infirmary, but he failed to hide it from his biological father. Hmph. That villain failed to flirt, and now he wants to ruin it for Daddy Eddy, too. What a petty man.

“Bay, I have something to tell you. Can we talk in private?”

Bailey narrowed her eyes. She looked hesitant, but she did not refuse. She tossed her sling bag that was hung on her shoulder to Zayron and walked toward the elevator. “Okay. Let's talk at the gazebo downstairs.”

However, Edmund stood rooted to the spot.

Seeing that, Zayron gave Edmund's arm a nudge, reminding him, “Hey, snap out of it. My mom's gone. Hurry up and follow her.”

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

Edmund and Bailey exited the condominium. They took a stroll around the pebbled path before sitting down in a gazebo.

“Edmund, you can just go straight to the point. There's no need to be so reserved.”

Edmund clenched his teeth. After pondering for some time, he finally asked with difficulty, “Bay, in which hotel you had sex with someone seven years ago?”

Bailey was stunned, and a conflicted look flashed past her eyes.

He's still bothered by it, eh? But the Edmund I know is not an old-fashioned person.

Edmund was instantly filled with regret when he saw the change in her expression.

I was too hasty. I totally forgot to consider her feelings.

“Bay, I'm not looking down on you. I... just want to know...”

“Golden Age Hotel. I had sex with the stranger at Golden Age Hotel.”

Edmund froze. His face turned pale, and all his facial features stiffened.

Golden Age Hotel...

Edmund knew Simon had been there that night because both of them had had a conversation on the phone.

Simon had wanted Edmund to get a gift for the latter's grandfather. He had also mentioned something about Golden Age Hotel during the short conversation.

Bailey noticed Edmund trembling with emotions and his face turning pale as if a thought had occurred to him. Hence, she quickly asked, “Have you found Zayron's biological father? Who's he? Who's that jerk?”

Edmund lowered his gaze and dismissed the conflicted look in his eyes, smiling. “Calm down. I've never looked into your past until now, so I have no idea who he is. I just wanted to ask you to get some fresh clues.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes and frowned. “Why do you want to look into him?”

“It's nothing, so I've decided to stop investigating him. No matter who he is, you'll be my wife once you get married to me. As for that jerk, we can forget about him.”

Bailey smiled and shook her head.

What on earth did Edmund discover? What's making him act so odd today?

“Yeah, stop wasting your time and energy on this. Come on. Let's get some ingredients and have dinner at my place tonight.”

“Okay.”

Meanwhile, a woman and a man were sitting by the window of the cafe at Luther Group's headquarters.

Victoria stirred the coffee in her cup and said, “Dwayne, we grew up in the same city and have the same social circle. I'm sure you have at least some knowledge about my past.”

With that, she raised her finger and pointed at her burgundy-colored short hair, her thick makeup, and her sexy outfit.

Her looks were the perfect representation of a city lady.

She could not help but sneer, “Do you see it now? The innocent girl who was always dressed in princess dresses is gone. She died when a fight broke out between the Gezmond family and the Saunders family. The woman sitting in front of you right now is someone whose edges and corners have been worn off over time. Do you think you can still find the shadow of my past in me?”

Dwayne's fingers that were wrapped around the glass cup froze. He, of course, was aware of the grudge between the two families.

On top of that, he knew Victoria had fallen in love with the eldest son of the Gezmond family. Unfortunately, the Gezmond family had lost and could only admit defeat.

At the same time, the reputation of the young man she loved so deeply had been destroyed, causing him to flee the country.

“The past is in the past. Why do you have to torture yourself by dwelling on it? Victoria, are you going to keep drowning yourself in guilt and self-blame for the rest of your life? Perhaps Lionel has a family and a business of his own now.”
