Chapter 754: Insinuation
"Welcome to the family, Jonathan."
The corner of Zoren’s mouth stretched into a smile until his eyes squinted. Those with him, however, were slightly taken aback by Zoren’s first remarks. William furrowed his brows, confused. Even Old Mrs. Pierson gave her grandson a conflicted look.
Did Zoren... just welcome Jonathan without question?
The lines between William’s brows deepened. ’Did I mention Jonathan’s name to anyone? How did he know? Perhaps I slipped in front of Butler Hubert?’
"Grandma told me that you came here, talking about my father’s child from another woman some time ago," Zoren casually explained, gesturing for William and Jonathan to sit. He looked surprisingly generous, smiling in satisfaction as the men sat down again.
"I also heard that she asked for a DNA test from the center our family has trusted for generations, considering all the women claiming that their children were a Pierson," he continued magnanimously. "Although I didn’t appreciate that you went straight to Grandma before coming to me, I understand your caution."
"I’m glad you understand, Zoren," William replied with a sarcastic smirk. "I was simply worried that something might happen. Of course, I’m not suggesting you’d stop the test or have someone tamper with it. I know you wouldn’t do that."
Zoren chuckled in amusement, reaching for the document in front of Old Mrs. Pierson. As he leaned over, he cast his grandmother a quick glance.
Old Mrs. Pierson just let out a shallow huff, staying silent and letting Zoren take the lead. She knew perfectly well that Zoren was helping her at the moment, but she was certain he’d have many questions for her later.
"Ninety-nine-point-nine percent... I didn’t know you still had some samples from Dad. I guess technology has truly advanced," Zoren mused, rocking his head as he hummed a long tune. When he fixed his gaze on the men across from him, he smiled subtly. "You’re... my brother?"
