How could Jeffrey not know? Itâs as clear as day â a done deal.
If Langston wasnât Everettâs child, it would be a cold day in hell!
Butâ¦
âHave you considered how to look into the childâs mother?
The Lopez family couldnât just take in a child with an unknown origin! Besides, the appearance of this
child would stir up many things; it wasnât just about the child.
Everett, of course wasnât going to let it slide. He intended to investigate but didnât want to rush into it.
âThis kid seems to have some hostility towards me. I think instead of prying, itâs better to let him tell me
straightâ
Jeffrey pointed at Langston, âHa? He doesnât know anything. What could he tell you?â
âDo you actually believe that he doesnât know anything?â
Of course not.
Jeffrey even suspected that the childâs IQ might be higher than his own! Not knowing anything was just
an excuse for not wanting to speak.
After taking Langston back, Jeffrey escorted them to their house in Bay Residence before reluctantly
parting ways.
Of course, Langston didnât forget about the computer and promptly provided Jefferey with the promised
number.
Once back at the Lopez Corporation, Jefferey intended to handle company affairs first, but his mind
wasnât on his work. He pushed his keyboard aside and wrote down the number on a piece of paper!
This number was new to him..
Jeffrey had input it into his phone, but there was no match.
As soon as he received the number, he immediately compared it to Heatherâs. Upon realizing it wasnât
her number, he breathed a sigh of
relief.
He hoped it wasnât Heather, he didnât want to admit that he had once been infatuated with such a
ruthless woman.
âKnock knockâ¦.â
Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door.
Jeffrey looked up to see one of the people he had sent out to find Langston.
âMr. Turner, should we continue the search?â
âNo need, the kidâs been found.â Jeffrey paused, then handed the number to him, âLook into this
number for me to find out whoâs using
âUnderstood, Mr. Tumer.â
With a new task, the man got up and was ready to left.
Jeffrey leaned back in his chair, looking at the number. Suddenly, he had an idea!
He called his assistant in, âLend me your personal phone.â
Jeffrey used that phone to dial the number, and to his surprise, the call went through!
After a few rings with no answer, it hung up automatically.
This was within Jeffreyâs expectations, so he didnât think much of it. However, soon after, a text
message come from the other side.
âIs this your new number?â
an
Jeffrey was surprised to see a reply! He quickly responded, âYes, I have something to tell you, answer
your phone.â
After sending the message, before he could dial again, the call came in.
As soon as Jeffrey answered, a familiar voice came through.
âAny updates?â
It was unmistakably Heatherâs voice.
It was her!
Jeffrey couldnât be mistaken!
âWhat kind of update are you expecting?â
Heather was startled as soon as Jeffereyâs voice rang out.
âItâs you! How did you get this number?!â
âDoes it matter? Heather, you lied to me again!â
He had thought⦠he had thought that this time Heather was really being wronged! He thought Heather
wouldnât stoop so low as to harm a child!
