Jake was so frightened that he almost dropped his chopsticks. “I-I, my neighbor’s sister!”
Ulric placed the dish on the table and then sat down in front of him.
“Jake, it’s not good for children to lie.”
“I’m not…”
“You have another sister. Your mother gave birth to two children.” Ulric’s words were firm, not a question but a statement.
The point wasn’t this; the point was that after he spoke, he could see panic in Jake’s eyes.
This indicated that his words were true.
Although it was a little trick to get it out.
“I’m not eating!” Jake felt like nothing could be hidden from Ulric, so he decided to leave and put down his chopsticks.
Ulric grabbed his wrist first.
“Dinner must be eaten. You’re not allowed to leave.”
“You want to bully me! I’ll cry!”
Ulric shrugged. “You can cry. Anyway, there’s no one else around Easthaven Bay.”
“…” Of course, Jake knew this! Because on the first day he came here, he searched for nearby electronic devices and found very few! That proved the area was sparsely populated.
Ulric added some meat and vegetables to his plate. “Eat.”
Jake was actually hungry, especially after tasting a bite earlier, which had whetted his appetite.
But he still remained vigilant. “Then you can’t ask me anything else! I won’t say anything!”
Ulric smiled and suddenly asked, “Did your mother give birth to a sister after she remarried?”
“My mother did not remarry! Uh…” Jake realized too late that his mouth was faster than his brain! “I’m not eating anymore. I’m leaving!”
“Eat. I promise I won’t ask anything today.”
“Then why did you just say-”
“I didn’t promise earlier. You said it yourself! Now I’m promising I won’t ask anything today.”
Ulric knew this conversation couldn’t be rushed. There was plenty of time.
Today was quite a harvest; he learned that he might not only have a son but possibly a daughter too!
Since Jake’s mother did not remarry, and he blurted it out without lying, it meant that this sister Jake mentioned might be his biological daughter too!
Were they twins?
Otherwise, how could she have stolen his seed twice?
…
“What?! You want me to report to W Group?”
Rosalind received a call from HR and was stunned.
How could she receive a call from W Group’s HR out of the blue? Could it be that Ulric really suspected her?
“Yes, your current company Eastsun Corporation now belongs to W Group, and your labor contract has been transferred to W Group.”
“Impossible!” How could Lion sell the company to Ulric? “I need to verify this.”
“Okay, please check with them.”
After hanging up, Rosalind immediately dialed Lion’s number.
After a few rings, the call connected.
Lion’s voice was hoarse with urgency but still trying to sound calm.
“Rosalind, you called me.”
“What happened with the company? I just got a call from W Group asking me to report for work! They said Eastsun Corporation now belongs to W Group!”
“… Rosalind, listen to me. Don’t worry about that for now! I’m trying to get Eastsun Corporation back.”
Hearing this, Rosalind felt half of her heart turn cold.
“So it’s true that W Group acquired Eastsun Corporation!”
“Yes… But don’t worry. I’ll regain control of Eastsun Corporation as soon as possible! If financial resources aren’t enough, I’ll use public pressure to fight Ulric to the end!”
