Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

London, England.

Straight did he head for the headquarters of Complex, when Emmett got off the plane.

There is a time difference between London and City N, the former of which is eight hours ahead. It was just coming to an end of the day for the company, when employees were slowly leaving in droves.

The assistant in the secretary office replied his enquiries about William, suggesting that there would be half an hour before the adjournment of meeting.

Emmett nodded and came to William's office, waiting for him.

Half an hour later, William appeared in the office, followed by several senior executives, reporting their work.

Having Emmett in sight, William said something to the executives, who thus nodded and left.

William walked over to him, “What's the sudden arrival for?”

Hereupon, Emmett rose himself and stood up face-to-face with William, lips tucked, permeated silence for a while.

William frowned at his odd expression, “Is there something wrong with Stella?”

Emmett shook his head, handed him the kraft bag on the tea table, and spoke tardily, “You asked me before to check the origin of Channing Radomil. The previous findings suggesting that his birth record was one and a half years after Stella’s mom had been separated from you, and the paternity test with you, have both manifested that there is no blood relationship between you two.”

William checked the files handed over with his head down, composure worn on his face. “Why are you bringing this up abruptly?”

Emmett replied, “Because I have recently found out... the paternity test could have been a fake. In regard of the birth record, I also double-checked it with the doctor who delivered him, that the confirmed date of birth was seven months after Stella’s mother had parted with you. That is to say...”

“Channing, is your own flesh and blood.”

William raised up his head all of a sudden, his gaze fastened on him, and elevated himself in a rocketing way. Unconsciously did he turn up the voice, “What did you say?”

Taking a breath, Emmett continued, “I’ve asked the doctor. She said Chen was born full term, which means Stella’s mother was already pregnant with him before the separation from you. The birth record was mistaken insomuch as there had been a fire accident in the archives of the clinic, while the burned all became refilled. Maybe it was either the memory of staff that served poorly with a wrong time, or a deliberate action by Channing...”

“Someone has purportedly claimed for his roaming in the vicinity of the clinic during the time when it was on fire. Either in relieving the accident of that day, or in the subsequent reconstruction, he was actively involved. So he had a great chance to do this when the records were being back tracked.”

William clenched the file bag in his hand, swiftly ripped the string off and then drew out the paternity test.

It said, 99% matched.
