?Chapter 697:


    “Ellie!” Demi suddenly called out. She then continued, “That day, the push to upload the video was someone else’s idea!”


    Ellie and Kaiden both turned to look at her at the same time. Demi revealed, “It was Carole!”


    At this moment, the name Carole meant nothing to Ellie anymore, except to stir up a little disgust.


    “What’s the matter?” Ellie noticed Kaiden had been quiet since they left the gate.


    “It’s nothing.”


    Kaiden drew her close, wrapping his arms around her tightly, and gently kissed her head. Ellie, puzzled by his silence, felt his tight embrace making it difficult for her to breathe. She twisted her head around to look at him, only to see the side view of his ear, slender, with a certain elegance, radiating a cool and sophisticated charm.


    “Kaiden, can you tell me what’s happening?”


    “I just felt like holding you close.”


    He expressed his regret for the troubles she had endured. Ellie being targeted by Carole was partly his fault, after all. Surprisingly, Demi was also entangled with Carole!


    After dinner, Ellie received a message from Katharine, informing her that Carole’s ne had already departed. Ellie sent her gratitude in response.


    Inside a private hospital, Baylee inquired, “Miss Lambert, are we going ahead with the DNA test?” She was holding a clear stic bag, inside it a single hair strand.


    “Let’s wait for Daniel,” Katharine replied. “We can’t proceed without his part of the sample.”


    Baylee was puzzled. Katharine, considering Baylee’s bond with Ellie, decided to be open about the situation.


    “In our family, there are three descendants in this generation. Glenn Lambert, the oldest, was myte uncle’s child. My real parents preferred sons, so I was taken in by the Lambert family. My adoptive parents treated me and Glenn as if we were their own. However, in our household, only Daniel and the lost Elsie are the biological children of my adoptive parents.”


    Your imagination thrives at  punt


    That was why they were eager to find the lost Elsie, to bring sce to their deceased parents, who had also been their benefactors.


    “I am here!” Daniel walked in, produced a hair strand, and handed it to the nurse who was waiting.


    Baylee handed over Ellie’s hair, which she had discreetly taken from the bed Ellie had used.


    “Where’s Susanna?”


    Katharine didn’t see an issue with Baylee being there and began talking with Daniel.


    “She shouldn’t be here today,” Daniel sighed. Given Susanna’s unpredictable mood, he wanted to avoid any disappointment. Katharine nodded, then began her lecture, asking, “Have you won her heart? You’re twenty-six now, Daniel.”


    Daniel rubbed his temples, exhaling in frustration. “Katharine, Susanna doesn’t have feelings for me.”
