Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 317 317: I know what I am doing

"You've been missing for a while, Stefan. What are you up to?" Gabriel inquired following a phone conversation with his pal.

Gabriel had not heard from Stefan since that night at the Retro bar, because the next day he fled somewhere without making his existence known.

It wasn't until yesterday that he overheard his mother and Aunt Nancy on the phone discussing how Stefan lied about going on a business trip solely to spend time with Ella.

It wasn't surprising given Stefan's capacity to do so, yet something inside him suggested otherwise.

Stefan, on the other hand, sighed and leaned on his chair. "So much happened that I am still trying to figure everything out," he said, causing Gabriel to crease on his remark.

"What do you mean?" he asked and heard Stefan take a deep breath.

"We went to Ella's hometown and there we learned that Jedrick is Ella's father." The revelation caught Gabriel off guard. This was something he never saw coming.

"Are you sure? Because, as far as I know, Eveline is also his daughter."

"..."

Stefan felt like someone had hit him in the face, leaving him buzzing with incomprehensible ideas.

"I wasn't prepared to hear this. H-how is that possible, and what about Uncle Jonathan? God, this is so confusing." Stefan was still processing Gabriel's words when he hesitantly asked.

"How did you find out? Was it the truth that he was hidden all the time?"

"Yes, and as far as I found, Jedrick told me the truth and I merely ran a DNA test between Eveline and Uncle Jonathan to confirm his words and the result were negative."

Stefan went silent upon hearing him.

"Then does that mean Eveline and Ella are-"

"Sisters," Gabriel concluded.

Silence fell between the two. The notion of Eveline and Ella sharing the same blood with the man they loathe made their stomachs twist.

"You know, Ella even offered that I find her father using DNA. She stated her blood type was rare, so they'd have an easier time finding a donor," Stefan blurted out, unaware that his remarks would surprise Gabriel.

"Rare blood type?"
