Chapter 1644 Three Powerful Families

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

The result of the appraisal that Gavin had asked Arthur to do came out three days later, which showed that he was related to Thomas related.
Gavin couldn’t believe it at all when he looked at the identification report, so he called Archer over and told him what had happened.
Archer was also very surprised. “Was it a mistake?”
“I’m also worried about that. Should we do it again to be safe?”
Archer frowned and thought for a moment. “Thomas is Emily and Callum’s child. Since Callum can’t have anything to do with us, Emily is the only candidate left. She’s about the same age as my sister who was exchanged at birth, so could she be related to us? If so, let’s carry out a DNA test for Emily and Thomas with you at the same time to see the results.”
Gavin agreed and Archer asked him, “Dad, what are you going to do if the result proves that we’re related by blood?”
“Of course I’ll take her back into ur family.”
“Okay! Then let’s arrange it right away.”
Arthur tried to do it even quicker this time and the results came out after about ten hours. The samples of Emily and Gavin were a 99% match, so there was no doubt about the results.
Gavin was ecstatic. “My daughter is still alive! Fate must’ve been on my side to let my child survive!”
Archer was also very happy and he immediately called William to tell him about it. When William heard that Emily was Gavin’s daughter, he was so surprised that he didn’t know what to say.
Gavin was in a hurry to recognize his daughter. However, he asked William to talk to Callum about it first because he was afraid that Emily would object to it.
When William immediately went to look for Callum, the Floyd family was speechless when they found out that Emily was Gavin’s daughter as well.
This was good news, so Callum told Emily about it after he discussed it with Fandrey.
Emily was very surprised. “Are you kidding me?”
“It’s true and the Saunders family has confirmed it! My parents also said that you and Mrs. Saunders look alike when you were young. Emily, they would like to recognize you as their daughter. You see…”
Emily was silent for a while. “I knew that I didn’t have parents when I was ten and I was adopted from the streets. The Barrack family wasn’t kind to me and I have been living in fear of being driven out of their family. I didn’t have any hopes to find my parents and relatives, so I didn’t expect that I would be able to find my real family at all.”
“Does that mean you’re alright with meeting Gavin?”
“Why would I oppose it?” Emily shook her head. “I have lived for so long. After I experienced so much, I found my own family, lover, and I even have children. Fate has been really kind to me and I am very grateful for that. You can arrange the meeting! I have nothing against it.”
The meeting was arranged by the Saunders family. When Emily entered the room accompanied by Callum, Gavin suddenly stood up and burst into tears after he waited for them. “My child, I didn’t expect to find you again! You have suffered so much!”
Emily’s face was originally calm, but her eyes couldn’t help but tear up when Gavin held her and cried.
She was a kind and soft-hearted person. Gavin was also a victim after the servants of the Saunders family planned to get rid of Emily at birth, so she had no hatred for him.
They felt at ease after talking to each other. Since Emily had returned to the Saunders family, they would definitely not stand by without doing anything.
She had the right to own a share of the family’s inheritance since she was their daughter, so Gavin have all the shares that he had prepared for Raelyn to Emily.
Since the situation had changed so drastically, the Saunders family held a press conference again, which surprised everyone for quite some time.
Gavin’s daughter and Callum had two children while Archer’s daughter was married to William. It seemed as though the Floyd and the Howard family were firmly tied together.
These three families couldn’t be underestimated at all, and they were even more frightening when they joined forces.
Leonard was also very unhappy when he saw the news. However, he couldn’t turn it around since things had already become like this. Right now, his only bargaining chip was Abbie and he hoped that he could use her to win Richard’s favour.
Francis also sighed when he saw the news because it was a pity that he missed such a good opportunity.
Since the relationship between the Howard and the Floyd family had been established, he could only speed up his cooperation with the Davis family.
He had to discuss with Wayne on how to speed up Michael and Azalea’s marriage.
Wayne had been recuperating in the hospital after he suffered such a stressful incident that day. There was nothing wrong with his body, but he was in a foul mood.
Wayne used his recuperation as an excuse to keep tabs on what was happening in the outside world. He let out a heavy sigh when he heard about the Floyd family.
“The Floyd family is really lucky. I treated Fandrey as a joke two years ago and said that he has no descendants. No one knew who would inherit his huge family fortune, and I was sure that his business would fail within 50 years. I didn’t expect that he would have a promising grandson. In the end, I was the one that ended up in such a miserable situation.”
The butler could only console him. “Although Mr. Michael had given all his shares to the Gurney family, you’re still the biggest shareholder. The Davis Group will be fine.”
“It’s easy for you to say. Do you think Francis would spend so much effort just to become the second-largest shareholder? Even a fool would know what his true purpose is.”
When Wayne mentioned Francis, he became angry again and asked the housekeeper, “Did that jinx get kicked out yet?”
Wayne was referring to Meadow, so the housekeeper smiled and said, “I’ve already told her your warning and she promised to move out She’s looking for a house now, so she hopes that you’ll let her stay for a few more days.”
“What? Is she trying to buy some time to find a way to deal with it?” Wayne sneered. “What’s going on with Michael?”
“He didn’t have any opinions about Madam being chased out.”
“That b*stard begged me to help Meadow back then, but he’s indifferent now that I have driven her out. He’s getting more and more ruthless!”
“He probably doesn’t have time to deal with this. He’s been very busy recently after he took over one of Francis’ companies. I heard that Francis was unwilling to let go of the company and he had been making the handover process difficult for Michael. He eventually chose to let go after Mr. Michael gave him countless expensive gifts!”
“Haha! Does this mean that he has already taken over the Gurney family’s company? He doesn’t know much about handling a company, can he do it well?” Wayne asked suspiciously.
“Since Mr. Michael is so smart, he’ll get used to it once he has the will to do so. Besides, he has William to help him.”
Wayne sighed heavily. Just as he was about to speak, the bodyguard outside suddenly came in and reported, “Sir, Francis is here to see you!”
“What is he doing here? I don’t want to see him!” Michael refused directly.
The bodyguard was about to relay the message when Francis directly forced his way into the ward with Frederick.
