Chapter 945

"Sure, I'll text you Chris's number," Ashton promised, his voice full of resolve. "Once I've got the paternity test, I'll head straight to you." "Right, let's do that. I'll go and buy some time with the old man."

After agreeing on their plan, Whitney dashed outside the church, only to see the old man angrily driving off in a sleek black Bentley. Instead of heading towards the city center, the car veered off towards Sea Bay in Banyan City.

However, halfway to Sea Bay, Whitney's phone rang. It was Ashton, "Things aren't looking good. Something happened to Chris. I called him, and he just stopped responding mid-conversation!

I can't delay releasing Cherry now. I'm heading to Chris's last known location with her in tow. He mentioned being on the highway near the airport. Could it be an accident?"

"An accident?" Whitney frowned, squinting as a thought struck her, "That can't be a coincidence. Ashton, get there as fast as you can. We need that signed paternity test, no matter what!"

After a moment, Ashton's frustration boiled over, "Could Endora be behind this? Damn it, isn't she supposed to be at the police station? Check it out."

"I'll call the police station to get the scoop while using Ludwik's influence to press them."

Whitney said, "Ashton, make sure Chris is safe. Get that..."

"I'll get the damn test," Ashton snapped before hanging up.
