Chapter 897

Seeing him asleep, Ashton let out a quiet sigh. He had been considering calling Whitney to probe into what was really going on with Tiana. It seemed like there was a huge misunderstanding between Parker and Tiana. But then, the thought of Whitney's overprotective, harsh demeanor made Ashton reconsider.

From what Felix mentioned, Whitney seemed to be organizing some work for the Sheldon Group and planned to visit Banyan City soon.

Apparently, there was some investigation into whether Barclay and Cherry were biologically related...

What was she up to?

The first time Ashton saw Cherry, he was taken aback by how much she resembled Parker, especially the distinctive shape of her nose and eyes. It was rare for a baby to have such defined features.

But since Parker himself didn't believe Cherry could be his daughter, Ashton dropped the suspicion.

It wasn't unheard of for nieces to resemble their uncles.

In the middle of the night, Ashton moved Parker to his own apartment, leaving the reeking man behind to take a shower.

Around 3 AM, a phone call suddenly exploded in the room.

Parker woke up, his head throbbing painfully. Irritated, he tore at his black shirt and yanked the ringing phone from his pocket, intending to smash it.

But the phone survived, its ringtone continuing to pierce his ears.

Opening his bloodshot eyes, filled with cold fury, Parker eventually rolled off the bed, picked up the damned phone, glanced at the caller ID, and sobered up a bit.

It was from the Doonan family estate in Banyan City!

His family, especially his grandfather, respected his privacy, so this call must be important.
