Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 378 378: I can still slow him down

[At the Breakfast Table]

"No wonder you were so quick to confirm it. But how did you get your hands on this, Dad?" Eveline asked, her eyes darting between the old blood report in her hands and Jonathan. The report clearly matched Gerald's and Jedrick's DNA, confirming that Jedrick was indeed Gerald's son.

Jonathan leaned back slightly, his expression unreadable. "Dad had a habit of getting us checked every year, and I was sure he did the same even when Jedrick was brought into the family. Fortunately, I managed to get my hands on the record and it helped clear my doubts."

Eveline was highly impressed by how quickly Jonathan had pieced everything together. His ability to articulate the situation and uncover the truth was remarkable. But despite this revelation, there was still no record of the woman who had given birth to Jedrick.

"But we still have no clue about the woman," Gabriel said, his voice carrying a hint of concern. He shared a meaningful glance with Eveline.

That small exchange of looks was all the confirmation she needed that he had her back. A warmth spread through her chest, filling her heart with immense love for him.

"That's the biggest mystery now," Jonathan said thoughtfully. "If we can find her, we might get a clearer idea of whether Jedrick knows the truth or not."

"And what if he does?" Erna suddenly spoke up, her voice laced with worry. "What if that's exactly why he's so determined to bring us down?"

The room fell into a heavy silence.

Every assumption they had made about Jedrick had been proven wrong. What they had once dismissed as mere resentment, his supposed revenge for Gerald's indifference, had turned out to be part of a much deeper scheme.

They had believed his obsession was with Erna, thinking he despised Gerald for accepting her relationship with Jonathan. But now, as they delved deeper into his life, a chilling realization settled over them.
