Chapter 289
At four-thirty in the afternoon, in an office in prison, Trevon sat in front of the table with an oppressive aura.
Harry sat on the other side in a prison uniform, looking old. Without the suits he always wore, Harry looked nothing like his usual self. In just a few hours, Harry had lost his vitality.
Harry looked down. Harry was afraid of Trevon. Harry clasped his hands. nervously. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. Harry looked at the hands on his legs with trembling hands.
For a long time, neither of them spoke. The office was so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing.
It was as if Trevon was here to sit. Trevon was calm, unhurried, and played with the ring on his finger.
The longer the time passed, the more nervous and uneasy Harry became. Finally, Harry couldn’t help but speak, his voice trembling. “Mr…. Mr. Wilson, why… are you looking for me?”
Hearing this, Trevon still did not speak immediately. Trevon remained silent and kept touching the ring on his finger repeatedly. Trevon was very careful, and his movements were abnormally gentle, not wanting to tarnish it. After a long time, Trevon said, “Do you know why you came in?”
Harry took a deep breath and nodded. “I know. Drugs.”
Trevon smirked sarcastically. “Don’t you know what you’ve done? Let me remind you, you can’t get out.”
Harry’s eyes widened. He was caught because he was taking drugs. Why couldn’t he get out? If he quit drugs, could he not leave?
Harry panicked, terrified, and stuttered, “W-why?”
Trevon was calm. In contrast to Harry, Trevon said unhurriedly, “Don’t you know what you’ve done? Or do you not want to remember?”
Hearing this, Harry’s face turned extremely pale. Harry looked at Trevon in disbelief and a hint of fear. “You…”
Trevon cut Harry off and exposed him. “You should know very well how Natalie’s grandparents died, right? You really vividly portrayed the words
‘people die for money. You would do anything to get the Lopez family’s assets. You’re much more ruthless than me in this aspect. I still have to learn from you.”
There was no doubt that Trevon now knew about the secret many years. ago. Harry panicked. His face was white, and his hands kept shaking.
Never in his wildest dreams did Harry expect that the secret would be uncovered. How many years ago had it been? At that time, the surveillance coverage was not that wide. The place Harry chose was also a road that had no surveillance cameras. The car which crashed into the two elderly Lopez had also fallen off the cliff. It could be said that there. was no evidence. How could it be uncovered now?
Harry couldn’t understand. It had been so many years. Other than Elena, no one else knew about this. They had always kept this matter to themselves.
Last time, it was because Elena knew the truth that Harry had to transfer the villa and shares to his son. They even signed an agreement that Elena. would keep the secret.
Harry recalled that, many years ago, Daisy suddenly jumped off a building and died. At first, Harry did not intend to do anything, but he couldn’t withstand Elena’s persistent persuasion.
At that time, Elena had said, “Harry, Daisy is the only daughter of the Lopez family. She is dead now. The two elderly Lopez are getting old. The company and money will end up in someone else’s hands if they’re scammed by someone with ulterior motives. We can still help manage it in our hands. Why don’t you go to the two elderly Lopez tomorrow and get them to transfer the company to your name? After all, you’re the Lopez family’s son-in-law.
“I’ll be okay. As long as I’m by your side, it’s fine, even if I don’t have a status. It is too bad for Emily since she’ll suffer. They will call her illegitimate even though Emily is yours. Natalie is not biologically related to you, but she is the oldest daughter of the Foster family.”
Harry comforted her. “When Daisy’s funeral is over, I’ll come for both of you. I won’t let you suffer outside with Emily. How can the child of mine wander the streets?”
The next day, Harry returned dejectedly, Harry was furious and cursed, “Those two old bastards. I told them to transfer the company to my name so I can help manage it, but the two of them actually wanted to
bury their daughter in the cemetery of the Lopez family. I painstakingly raised their granddaughter for so many years. Not only did they not thank me, but they also told me not to dream about it. When did I treat Daisy badly? I didn’t even touch her when she went to see that man.”
Elena was very happy with Harry’s performance. Elena instigated, “Since the two elderly Lopez can’t figure it out, we can only…”
Harry understood and had a plan in mind.
The next day, the Lopez family sent people to transport Daisy’s body. back to the Lopez family for cremation. After the cremation, Daisy was buried in the Lopez family’s cemetery.
The Lopez family’s cemetery was a little remote and surrounded by mountains. There were not many cars passing by. On the way back after the two elderly Lopez buried Daisy, they got into a car accident, and their vehicle fell off the cliff.
By the time the police found them, the two elderly Lopez were both dead. Since there was no eyewitness on this road, the police could only conclude that it was an accident. After all, the car that had collided with the two elderly Lopez had also fallen off the cliff.
After the two elderly Lopez passed away, Harry took out a fake agreement. It was the transfer agreement for Daisy’s shares. Harry had taken Daisy’s thumbprint when Daisy was asleep. Since Harry was the son-in-law, Harry inherited the Lopez family’s company. After obtaining it, it merged with the Foster family’s company and was collectively called the Foster Group.
After a long recollection, Trevon’s cold voice pulled Harry back to reality. “So, you do remember how you had committed murder. You haven’t. forgotten it. You deliberately refuse to admit to it.”
Without waiting for Harry to speak, Trevon spoke first. Trevon did not show any respect for Harry. “I’m quite curious. Why don’t you love Natalie when she is your daughter?”
Harry smiled and mocked himself. “Daughter? Natalie is the bastard child of Emma and her lover. I’ve helped Daisy raise Natalie for so many years. What’s wrong with me taking something in return?”
Harry said this indignantly with grievance and anger.
This was the resentment and deep hatred after a deep love.
After a moment of silence, Trevon narrowed his beautiful eyes. Trevon’s eyes were filled with coldness as he asked, “Who told you Natalie wasn’t your daughter?”
Harry said without hesitation, “I’ve tested it twice.”
Trevon threw a file on the table upon Harry’s words, and it landed with a loud sound. “Open your eyes and take a good look. Is Natalie your daughter?”
This paternity test was recently done by Trevon. It was done on Harry and Natalie. Trevon had his doubts when Trevon saw Harry’s reaction. after Natalie was drugged two years ago. Why did Harry Foster hate Natalie so much if Natalie was Harry’s biological daughter? The only explanation was that Natalie was not Harry’s biological daughter.
Trevon sent a bodyguard to the casino to secretly take Harry’s hair and send it to the hospital.
Harry looked at Trevon, who was facing him, in confusion. Harry opened the file with shaking hands and read the information. Harry’s lips were trembling as he looked up and said in shock, “This is impossible. How can Natalie be mine? I clearly checked it twice.”
Harry continued to mutter to himself, and Trevon did not interrupt him. Trevon was trying to locate the problem through Harry’s speech.
“I was afraid that the test would be wrong. I even went to two hospitals. How did this happen?”
“Impossible. It must be wrong. Something has gone wrong. Yes, there must be something wrong.”
Harry had always thought that Natalie was not his daughter. Harry treated Natalie like an enemy and thought of Daisy as a woman who had an affair. Now that the circumstances had changed, how could Harry accept his mistake?
If Daisy were innocent of having an affair, it would mean Harry had been wrong all along.
Trevon Wilson’s cold and deep voice sounded in the office. “I can vouch for this appraisal with my life. It’s the truth. It’s useless even if you don’t want to admit it. You’re just deceiving yourself.
Harry met Trevon’s gaze, which was certain and irrefutable. Harry panicked so much that his face turned green. In the next second, Harry
thought of the reason. “It’s that bitch Elena. It must be that bitch. It must be.”
The corners of Trevon’s lips twitched as Trevon glared at Harry. “You pushed your own daughter away and made her suffer. Have you ever thought about how Natalie lived all these years? Do you know that Natalie was bullied in school? Do you know that Natalie was often humiliated? If you weren’t Natalie’s biological father, I would have personally ended you. I wouldn’t have given you a chance to reflect on yourself in jail.”
