Those words stunned Dennis in place.It would mean something else entirely if his mother weren't a replacement for Iris."Are you saying that the person your father dated all those years ago is my mother?"Warren shifted his sharp gaze to Dennis before he nodded calmly."For now, that is the most likely scenario I can come up with. Mrs. Potter is the one who dated my father, and she is the real Iris Lindt. The woman who married him and gave him a family is a fake."Zayn wanted to destroy the Larkin family, so he found a woman who looked like Iris. After that, he had the fake undergo plastic surgery and demanded that she learn and mimic Iris' every move."He sent that fake to my father, and that was how he achieved his goal of having a spy within the Larkin Corporation."That is why my father still can't recall who Mrs. Potter is. It's because the only woman he has ever dated is the one with Iris' face. There was no way he could have differentiated between the two."Iris' parent
Naturally, Evelyn figured out what was going on after she heard those words.She feigned ignorance and replied, "Oh, dear. Is it bad? Do you need to get some shots for it? Dr. Xavier, how can you be so careless? Why didn't you stop the dog from biting Jazzie?"Ethan gritted his teeth and replied, "I'm the dog she was talking about."Evelyn's big, round eyes bulged in surprise. She scolded, "Why did you bite her for no reason? Don't you know that our precious Jazzie has very sensitive skin? She can't handle your bites."After saying that, Evelyn said, "Come here, Jazzie. Let me check. Where did he bite you?"Ethan couldn't help laughing aloud before he replied, "They say that pregnancy brain slows your thinking down, and now I know it's true. How have you not guessed this? I love biting her, okay?""Do you love biting her? Or do you love her? Those are two different things. If you don't love her, then don't bite her recklessly. How will Jazzie find a husband if you break her?"On
That question came from the heart, and Ethan wanted to reply, "Why would I love her? She has a terrible temper."However, he sensed that something was off just before he uttered those words.He had been with Jazzie for some time, but he had never asked himself that question before.He always thought that they should be together if it felt right, and if it didn't, they could just part ways.Hence, he never truly asked himself what was it he truly wanted.The carefree and undisciplined Dr. Xavier had encountered the first question he couldn't easily answer.On the other side, Warren chuckled and replied, "Do you realize that I was the same way with Evie three years ago? At the time, I thought that I was compatible with Evie and enjoyed spending time with her. However, I never thought about making anything permanent."That was what resulted in a huge misunderstanding between the two of us. It was also what led to an uphill battle for me when I tried to court her again. Do you want
Evelyn spoke in a sweet and calming voice.She understood that Jazzie was naturally stubborn and a little too proud.As a clear-minded bystander, Evelyn thought that Jazzie had feelings toward Ethan.Jazzie wouldn't have repeatedly slept with Ethan if that weren't the case.Evelyn was convinced that Jazzie wasn't that loose.What Evelyn didn't understand was why Jazzie was being so stubborn about that.Hearing those words, Jazzie grinned and replied, "Come on, stop worrying about me. Let's focus on giving my godson the best care there is. You'll be giving birth in two months. Let me prepare the hospital bag for you."Warren didn't get Evelyn a nanny because he wanted to ensure her safety.Being a man, Simon wasn't aware of everything Evelyn would need.Hence, Jazzie would bring some essentials every time she visited Evelyn.The two friends hung out in the living room. One was reading the list off her phone while the other was packing everything into a bag.They worked well a
Warren frowned right away.His initial intention was to find his grandparents' belongings and then extract DNA from them to determine who the real Iris was.Unfortunately, the solution he had come up with had been rendered useless.Warren massaged his brows a little before he asked in a deep voice. "Is that information true?""Yes. Your grandmother gave birth to a stillborn all those years ago. She worried that your grandfather would kick her out of the house if he found out about it. Hence, she had the neighbor in question bring her a baby from the orphanage. Your grandfather never found out about this."Warren responded solemnly and said, "I'll figure out another way to get to the bottom of this."Chester sighed and said, "If there truly was a real and a fake Iris, how similar were the two? How did it get to the point where even I can't differentiate them?""My guess is that they spent a lot of time planning it. Since they were going to send a fake to you, it was only sensible
Jazzie smiled and replied, "What could be going on between Ethan and me? I'll never be in a relationship with him in this lifetime.""If he truly is in love, will you still not think about it?" asked Warren."When have you ever seen him taking anything seriously? He acts as though he doesn't care about anything. Anyone who ends up with him will be the unluckiest woman on Earth."Jazzie set up the dishes on the dining table and clapped her hands. After that, she said, "Alright, let's stop talking about that guy. The mere thought of him will make me lose my appetite. If that happens, the effort Mr. Jefferson put into cooking will be all for naught."Simon left the kitchen holding another plate. He smiled and said, "When it comes to love, we have to let things develop naturally. We can't force things. Come on, let's eat up."After lunch, Warren helped Evelyn get up the stairs so she could take a nap.He waited until she was asleep before he took the necklace and went to talk to Iris
Having come to that conclusion, Warren's heartbeat slowly returned to its natural pace.He glared at Iris and calmly asked, "Where is the copy of the design from all those years ago?"Iris grinned and answered, "In my mind.""You destroyed it?""What do you think?"Warren noticed how arrogant she was and knew that his enemies had long anticipated that move.That was why they had prepared in advance. Warren wouldn't be able to learn anything from that.After he left the prison, he took the necklace and went to Skyler.He got the same drawing from her that he got from Iris.Even the way they drew was identical.Warren was completely lost when he saw the two drawings in front of him.He felt that he must have missed something important. The only way the case could have a breakthrough was if he figured out what that was.Just then, Warren's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and immediately picked it up.Charlie spoke in an urgent tone from the other end of the line. He repo
Warren's voice was raspy. "Alright. Do your best to minimize the losses and shield the Sullivan and Miles families from this." Dennis glanced at him solemnly. "It's too late. The stocks of both Sullivan Corporation and Miles Group hit their bottom limit when the stock market opened this morning. "Your relationship with Evie has gone public online, and given the Sullivan and Miles families' connection with Evie, many netizens are targeting them. "Chet and Harry stepped in to defend Larkin Corporation, inadvertently dragging themselves in. Their other projects have been canceled, and the combined losses for both families exceed tens of billions of dollars." Warren pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, his voice deep as he questioned, "What can we do to keep them from being involved?" Dennis's expression darkened. "People are using your marriage with Evie to their advantage. Their goal is simple—they want to separate you two. "It's a strategic move. They know Evie is
