Chapter 343
Ethan took a sip of the water and set it aside. He didn’t set the gla*s down properly, causing it to fall on the floor. The gla*s fell on the carpet, but it didn’t break. The carpet absorbed the water from the gla*s.
Brent looked at the wet carpet, finding it weird that Ethan would make such a careless mistake.
Ethan stood up immediately, his face filled with urgency.
Brent wondered what Kelvin could have brought back to cause Ethan to be so agitated.
Kelvin came in through the rain. Several raindrops had fallen on the paper bag he was holding in his arms. He quickly handed the paper bag to Ethan with his rain-soaked arms.
He was running when he came in. Water was dripping from his head, and he was still panting.
“Mr. Miller, I was with the sample all the way, from the extraction of the sample to the testing and the generation of the results. I had my eyes on it the whole time.
“Don’t worry, no one else got their hands on it. The results this time are completely authentic.”
Ethan took the paper bag in his hands. He was so anxious, but he suddenly dared not open the bag.
Brent saw the hesitation in his eyes. “Mr. Miller, why don’t I look at it for you?”
Ethan opened his eyes and took a deep breath. His gaze became determined.
“No need.”
His fingers held the white string on the paper bag and unraveled it.
Brent could see Ethan’s hands trembling. The trembling was very severe.
The paper bag was opened, and Ethan took the report out.
His expression became complicated when he saw the report. There was excitement, happiness,
and sorrow.
One moment, he was smiling. The next moment, he sat on the couch, clutching his head with guilt.
Brent’s curiosity was piqued. He glanced at the report and saw the results. The DNA samples were highly mismatched, and there wasn’t a biological link.
“This…” Brent said softly.
Even Kelvin understood what was coinm su WT I

sea two years ago wasn’t Ms. Miller’s.”

Brent denied it firmly. “That’s impossible. We did a test to verify it. How could it go wrong? Mr. Miller doesn’t have any other family members.”
“Brent, this paternity report was done with the DNA from that same b*dy. As you can see, they aren’t related by blood. That report back then was forged.”
Brent was stunned. “Who did that b*dy belong to if not Ms. Miller’s?”
“She was Jodie. That was all she ever was. But we hadn’t seen Ms. Miller for so long, and we mistook her for Ms. Miller. Her face somewhat resembled Ms. Miller’s face as a child, and coupled with the forged DNA report, we were misled to think she was Ms. Miller.”
Kelvin thought for a while and added, “Maybe her face was even altered beforehand so we would find it believable.”
Brent was deeply shaken, and his heart kept beating heavily.
Kelvin looked at the despondent Ethan. “There is good and bad news. The good news is that Ms. Miller is alive and has been taking care of Mr. Miller by his side all these years.
“The bad news is that Mr. Miller thought she was dead and took out his anger on Mrs. Miller and the Fordhams.”
Ethan finally understood that Leia was the one behind everything. He became emotionally unstable after learning of her death. The forged evidence was enough for him to pin everything on Jeff.
It was like he was in a trance back then. Whenever he saw Olivia’s lively and joyful smile, he thought of his dead sister and would have the urge to hurt her.
He realized that the things he had done to Olivia were unforgivable. He had hurt the woman he loved the most with his own hands.
He had the answers to everything now. There was only one question.
“Why would Ms. Miller do all those things to Mrs. Miller? Did they have any grudges? Why would she spend so many resources to create such a ma*sive deception?
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
