Chapter 55

“B-Boss? W-W-Why?” Chris was completely taken aback this time. Due to the shock, he stuttered over

his words.

Caleb stared blankly at Ethan with a gaping mouth, but no words came out, for he was too shocked.

What? No way. Why? Why, though? It can’t be. Even if Mr. Knight did have a one-night-stand with Miss

Woland, it was seven years ago. But, the child isn’t even five years old yet. Why does he want to

arrange for a paternity test? What happened?

“Understood.” In the end, Caleb chose to not ask anything. Although he was still shocked, he would not

ask anything that would overstep his boundaries as he only needed to follow Ethan’s orders.

“Why, Boss? Why do you want to go through a paternity test?” Chris was extremely curious inside right

then.

Normally, he was quite an inquisitive person, especially when it concerned Ethan.

And now, there was a child involved!

Is Boss going to do a paternity test for the child?! Then, who does the child belong to? Whose is it? He

felt as if he might go insane if he did not know the truth. I think Boss had let slip some surprising news

just now!

Leaning against the chair, Ethan closed his eyes and bottled his emotions up, trying to regain his

calmness. Naturally, he could not answer Chris’ question.

In front of such juicy gossip, Chris did not back down even when facing danger.

“Is the child yours, Boss?” At that moment, Chris could only arrive at such a conclusion.

But, the child is Alice’s, so how could it be Boss’? Alice had always been engaged to Bruce, which

ended with the wedding they had yesterday, even though it fell through in the end. Then, what about

Boss with Alice? What is he considered as? Someone she had an affair with? No, that’s impossible!

But now, he’s about to do a paternity test with the child? The boss never wastes time on anything

unimportant, so I’m sure he’s not joking about such a serious problem.

The thing Chris did not understand was when they did it.

Boss with Alice? She isn’t worthy at all! Leaving aside the fact that Alice is now disfigured and ugly

beyond belief, even if she wasn’t, she isn’t even a hundred of what Boss is. Besides, she’s so stupid

and slow, it’s almost comical.

“Boss, this Alice character really is…” Just as Chris was about to criticize her, he thought about the

possibility of her being the mother of Ethan’s child.

So, he changed his wording mid-sentence. “She really is an unfathomable person. Boss, when did you

fall into the trap and get taken advantage of by her?”

Using his extremely vivid imagination, Chris thought that this was the only possibility. Of course, Ethan

did not answer him.

“Then, what are you planning to do, Boss? The child is easy to deal with since we can just take him

back to the Knight Residence. As for Alice, she can’t enter the family, but she’s the mother, after all.

This will be tricky to deal with… Still, it isn’t all that hard to settle, given the influence of the Knight

Family…”

It was then Ethan opened his eyes, which might be because he was vexed from all the yapping from

Chris. “Did you even take a close look at the child beforehand?”

“I didn’t. Why? Does the kid look like you?” Chris leaned toward Ethan, whose eyes suddenly opened

wide before scaring Chris. Of course, Chris’ attention was diverted by him.

Taking the dossier, Chris decided to take a closer look at the child’s photo. The kid looks very smart

and good-looking. Actually, he looks quite similar to Boss!

“He really does look like you, especially his eyes.” Chris observed closely with intent, so he soon found

the resemblance.

“Really? How much do they resemble each other?” Liam, who had followed Ethan for many years,

knew to not ask too much, but even he could not contain his curiosity anymore.

By then, Caleb had already closed in and took a good look, thinking that the child indeed looked similar

to Ethan the more he looked.

“This is uncanny, especially the eyes. Comparing them with Boss’ eyes…” Chris thought about it before

commenting with a very suitable adjective, “They look like they were casted from the same mold.”

This stunned Liam. Casted from the same mold? That is not just similar. That’s the same, isn’t it?!

“Boss, looks like this really is your kid. I can already predict the results of the paternity test.

Congratulations, Boss, it looks like you’re a father now.” Chris had a glint of excitement in his gaze.

Now, he finally understood that Ethan could not have wanted a paternity test done on the account of

the child resembling him. The boss must’ve had some kind of relationship with Alice. That’s why he

chose to do the test.

At this point, Chris was almost certain that the child was Ethan’s. Although Alice isn’t worthy of Boss,

the child is still his and a part of the Knights. So, the child will have to follow the family. As for Alice, we

can just come up with something to chase her away… Yup!!

It was then Ethan gazed at Chris with a strange look. Yet, Chris was right. The child really had eyes just

like his, which made Ethan’s straight lips upturn just that slightest.

I really hope the child is mine! No. The child must be mine. I knew it from the moment I saw him.

As for the matter about Ethan wanting to conduct a paternity test, Alice was completely oblivious to it.

She knew that the fingerprint test results must have been released by now, but Ethan did not find her,

proving that the handcuffs did not have her fingerprints on it.

If so, then Mr. Knight will not trouble me anymore. Phew!!

She then began to focus on her own matters. I have to say, Thomas sure is something. Even though

such a huge scandal erupted at the wedding, he only used two days to fully comfort Naomi and Bruce,

lessening the fall out of their family to the minimum.

As for the incident at Moonlight Bay, that won’t be so easy to solve. Even if Thomas does manage to

settle it, he’ll have to sacrifice quite a lot to do so. It’ll depend on whether their family can take it or not.

Although Bruce was in charge of Woland Group, he was still unfamiliar with the operation of the

company. Paired with his limited capabilities and the discovery of the illegitimate child at the wedding,

Bruce did not fully trust Thomas anymore, so he did not allow Thomas to interfere in anything

concerning Woland Group. But…
