Chapter 235: I’m not your enemy
The man turned his head slightly and watched Nathan’s departing form. Once he was sure Nathan had turned the corner and vanished from sight, he stepped quickly and redialed Megan’s number.
"He has been here at the hospital," he said in a hushed tone. "Met with the doctor in the Genetic Testing Department."
On the other end of the call, Megan sat rigid in her office chair, her gut twisting as she heard the words. Of course, he’d go for the paternity test. But this soon?
She slammed her pen onto the desk and stood up in a sharp, agitated motion.
"Stay there. I’m on my way."
The call ended with a sharp beep.
Megan gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with rage and fear. "You think some test will give you a place in this family? Keep dreaming, Anne. I won’t let you set foot in the family."
Snatching her handbag, Megan stormed out of the office.
Inside Augustine’s office...
Augustine sat behind his desk, but his eyes weren’t on the documents in front of him. They were vacant, his thoughts a thousand miles away.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t concentrate. His mind kept circling back to the lunch meeting. He couldn’t shake the unsettling realization that someone within the Granet family didn’t want Anne. And once it was confirmed that she truly was the long-lost daughter, that person would likely make a move. That hidden adversary might try to harm Anne.
