Chapter 1350: Chapter 1350

Chapter 1350 Sheldon couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but his mood was steady and he was calm enough to reason with Yates, “Now, under Bernard’s leadership, Siren Organization doesn’t senselessly kill the innocent or seek personal revenge. At most, they’re just weeding out the bad apples in business world.

Aren’t we sometimes guilty of baiting these bad apples ourselves with an invite to a charity gala or something? Maybe we should let bygones be bygones?”

“No way!” Yates’ animosity toward Siren Organization was much more intense than Sheldon’s. He had witnessed first-hand what they were capable of. How could he let it go so easily?

“But...”

“If you try to talk me out of this again, don’t blame me for getting nasty.”

Sheldon held his tongue. It was an unwritten rule among the members of Area Opaca – never defend the members of Siren Organization, or you’d be shipped off to the bioweapon facility.

“Fine, I won’t argue for leniency anymore. I’ll try to advise you on something else.

Yates shot Sheldon a glance sharp as a switchblade. Sheldon swallowed back his words about telling Bernard that Eleanor was still alive.

He saw a murderous glint in Yates’ eyes. He was on his own here and stood no chance against Yates. It was wiser to keep his head down.

Besides, he’d been Yates’ right-hand man for years and saw him as a big brother He had no intention of causing a rift over Bernard, “I’ll take my leave then. Still got some loose ends to tie up.”

As Sheldon was about to leave, Yates stopped him.

“I’m taking Eleanor back to the Sharp family soon. Do me a favor and keep your mouth shut about Ace, and the brain surgery Bernard underwent.”

Sheldon understood. Eleanor had been to Area Opaca. If she found out that Yates was the founder and his treatment of Bernard, she’d think poorly of them, maybe even harbor resentment.

Besides, Sheldon wanted to remain Eleanor’s uncle. So he agreed to keep Yates secrets. “Alright, my lips are sealed. You guys do whatever you want.”

As he left the study, Yates watched Sheldon’s retreating figure.

With Kermit Hyde now. six feet under, should he consider promoting Sheldon to deputy leader and granting him administrative rights over Area Opaca?

Although Sheldon could be ruthless, he wasn’t ruthless enough, and Yates worried handing over control to him might backfire.

He decided to put the mess in Area Opaca on hold until his personal affairs were sorted out.

With that, Yates had Peterson show Sheldon out and then called him back into the study.

He instructed Peterson not to reveal his past with Pauline, and to simply say that it was Pauline who, out of spite, had sent the child away.

Peterson, oblivious to Yates’ conversation with Sheldon, agreed and then went to find Eleanor with the DNA test results.

By then, Cedric Laurence had taken Hailey home to rest, and Robin had gone to change his bandages, there was no one else in the hospital room.

Before entering the room, Peterson knocked on the door, “Ms. Shultz, the DNA test results are out. I’ve brought them for you to see.”

Seeing Peterson’s politeness, Eleanor nodded, “Please come in, Mr. Peterson.”

With her permission, Peterson walked in and handed Eleanor the test results. As my grandfather guessed, you are indeed a descendant of the Sharp family.”

Eleanor, having just received the report, understood its contents upon hearing Peterson’s words. “So, my mother was really Mr. Sharp’s child.”

She stared at the DNA test results, her heart heavy with a sigh. The Sharp family was a wealthy family, and yet, Vanya had starved and froze to death. She had helped Vanya find her family, but she didn’t feel any joy. Instead, she looked up at Peterson. “Can you tell me why your grandfather abandoned her?”

In Eleanor’s mind, abandonment was the only explanation for Vanya’s tragic life.

Peterson, following his grandfather’s instructions, replied, “It was Ma’am Pauline who, out of spite, secretly sent the child to the Pine family without telling him.”

Eleanor was taken aback, “Was your Ma’am Pauline really that hot-tempered?”

Peterson chuckled, “Yes, she had a fiery temper. Even my grandfather was afraid of her.”

Eleanor still didn’t understand. “So, because of a fit of anger, your Ma’am Pauline hid her child from your grandfather and sent her away? That doesn’t quite add up.”

What she meant was that the reason didn’t seem sufficient, but Peterson smiled. “I guess Ma’am Pauline wasn’t just acting out of spite. My grandfather wanted a business marriage, and she retaliated in this way.”

Eleanor tilted her head, questioning Peterson, “But a woman who is willing to have a child for a man must love him deeply. Why would she retaliate in such a way?”
