Chapter 150
The moment I asked this question, my heart skipped a beat again. Because I had always believed that Grandpaâs death was related to Jessica, but there had been no evidence.
Fortunately, Albert immediately replied, âYes, although the fingerprint was small, after comparison, it is indeed hers.â
âSo it really was herâ¦â
Upon receiving this answer, I felt no joy, only more sorrow for Grandpa. If⦠if Grandpa hadnât met Jessica that day, would he still be waving kindly to me now, calling me âCharlotteâ?
Albert was also furious. âAlthough the Mr. William never fully accepted her, he never mistreated her either. Yet she actually resorted to such methods.â
âYeah.â I pondered over it, âAlbert, thereâs one thing I still canât figure out. When Grandpa hit Ryan that day, he didnât get so angry as to fall ill. What did she say to Grandpa to make him so furious?â
First she angered Grandpa, causing him to fall ill, then she prevented him from taking his lifeâsaving medication.
It was exactly the same as today, first provoking me into taking action against her, then setting me up with false accusations.
Albert was also puzzled. âI have no idea eitherâ¦â
âDo you thinkâ¦â I hesitated for a moment. âCould she possibly be the biological daughter of my fatherâinâlaw and Lauren?â
This was the only reason I could think of why Jessica could provoke Grandpa like
that.
Grandpa was already dissatisfied with my fatherâinâlawâs insistence on marrying Lauren. If he knew that my fatherâinâlaw had been cheating on his wife for a long time, he might have been furious and fallen ill.
Albert denied the possibility. âImpossible. Your concern was already investigated by the Mr. William before Lauren entered the Frost family. There was also a paternity test done. Jessica was definitely not related to the Frost family.â
âThatâs strange.â I frowned, a fleeting thought passing through my mind. When I tried

to grasp it again, it slipped away.
Maybe that thought was too absurd.

Albert asked, âWhat are your plans now? Just having fingerprints on pills might not be persuasive enough. Even if you tell Ryan directly, he may not believeâ¦â
âWe still have to try.â I interrupted directly, unwilling to let Grandpaâs death remain unexplained for another day, âAlbert, have someone deliver the fingerprint identification report to me at the Lake Garden. As for the rest, Iâll let Ryan investigate himself.â
I was only responsible for handing this over to him.
If he trusted me even a little, he would personally investigate this matter thoroughly. With his abilities, it would be much easier for him to find the truth than me and Albert.
âOkay.â
Albert probably checked the time, then said, âIt will take about 20 minutes to deliver it to the Lake Garden. Shall I bring it up to you, orâ¦â
âIâll come down to get it.â
Once I had the identification report, I would go directly to the hospital and hand it to Ryan.
He would believe it, right?
Even if he didnât fully believe it, he would investigate things himself and surely find some clues.
With that thought in mind, I sighed.
Perhaps Ryan could still find a reason to be lenient towards Jessica for my childâs sake. But what about Grandpa?
âRyan⦠this time, you surely wonât disappoint your Grandpa, right?â
After a quick tidyâup and change of clothes, I went downstairs. Despite being in the underground car park, the early winter chill seeped through the seams of my clothes.
Winter came early this year.
My phone rang in my coat pocket. Feeling cold, I answered with my wireless earphones.

Jackâs voice sounded on the other end of the line. He seemed to sound quite happy.â Charlotte, have you considered coming to work for the MS Group?
