When sunset came over the city again, the ne carrying Briannded on the runway.


    The work at the foreign branch had been handled smoothly, so the young deputy general director’s mood also lightened a bit.


    However, the moment he turned on his phone and saw the message from his doctor friend, his heart suddenly sank.


    As soon as he left the ne, he quickly walked to the parking lot. The doctor made an appointment for him to go to a small cafe on the main road to get the results of the DNA test.


    These past few days, his mind was only focused on work and meetings to find solutions and troubleshoot, so he forgot about this important matter.


    “Take a look.” The doctor gave him the results and said.


    Brian quickly took it and read it quickly with his eyes. And when he saw the analysis results and the conclusion confirming that he and that girl were rted by blood as brother and sister, he almost copsed.


    His hand unconsciously tightened, causing the thin stack of papers to be wrinkled. On the way here, he prayed that this wouldn’t happen, but the truth was too harsh.


    Many years passed, and he held that figure in his heart and secretly loved her the same way a man loves a woman. He even dreamed of entering the wedding hall with her, sharing the bed, and having children with her.


    “Brian, are you okay?” The doctor asked worriedly.


    “Huh? Ah, I’m fine. Thank you. I… I have to go, see you another day.”


    After saying that, he quickly left, his steps were unsteady, almost colliding with a child running around in the cafe.


    Compared to being rejected by Emily, realizing that she was his half-sister hurt him many times more.


    Why would his father betray his mother? How could he leave his child for someone else to raise? Why did he let him fall into this circle of injustice?


    He really couldn’t imagine what terrible things would have happened if she had agreed to love him that year.


    “Oh my god… how could this be… this isn’t true, right?” He put his head on the steering wheel and burst into tears.


    Leaving the cafe, Brian drove to the riverbank on the edge of the city. The darkness gradually falls, highlighting his lonely back in a white shirt.


    He just stood there, looking into the vast space, his mind nk. It was not until the high-pressure lights scattered along the riverbank were lit that he was able tofort himself and force himself to ept this painful reality.


    The phone in his pocket rang for a long time, but Brian had no intention of picking up the call.


    However, it seemed like the person on the other end of the phone was very patient, calling three times so he couldn’t just ignore it, so he took it out to see who was bothering him.


    “Dad, I’m listening.”


    “Why aren’t you home yet? Doesn’t the nend at half past five?” Kent’s voice slowly rang out.


    “Oh, I’m having dinner with friends. I’m almost done, I’ll be home soon.”


    Even though he said that, right now he doesn’t want to meet his father. If possible, he would like to escape to a deserted ind, to avoid meeting anyone, to avoid facing the truth.


    However, even if Kent did something wrong, he was still his father, and he still loved him. And as for Emily, she has no one left by her side and he is her brother, her rtive in this city full of traps.


    Now he has the answer to all his previous vague thoughts. No wonder he sometimes saw her image in Jennifer even though both of them were like water and fire.


    No wonder the love he has for her is so tolerant, not selfish or exclusive. No wonder his father’s attitude towards James was always harsh.


    Leaving the quiet river behind, he drove back into the city, straight to Emily’s house. Fortunately, when he was about to arrive, Kevin left after stopping by to check on her health.


    When Emily heard Daisy’s announcement, she immediately asked Daisy to take Brian up to her room. After all, Daisy was Kevin’s person, so the conversation between her and Brian couldn’t take ce in the living room.


    “Are you feeling much better?” Brian tried to suppress the mixed emotions in his heart and asked gently as soon as he saw her.


    “I’m fine.”


    “You hired a maid?”


    “Ah, yes, having someone in the house will make me feel more secure.”


    She couldn’t tell him that Daisy was Kevin’s eyes and ears, and she couldn’t tell him that Kevin forced her to get married.


    She had a secret to hide from him and so did he. He couldn’t tell her that the person who had confessed his love to her was her half-brother.


    “Can you do what you said yesterday? Your father and shareholders…”


    “I will make it. Believe me.”


    “Yes.”


    It wasn’t until eight o’clock at night that Brian returned home. Hearing the maid tell him that his mother had gone to the beach with her close friends, he also felt relieved.


    Whether he likes it or not, he still has to let his father know that he has a daughter and now that daughter is suffering great losses and worries to the point of exhaustion.


    Seeing light leaking through the gap in the study room, he pushed the door open and walked in front of the man who was intently looking at the documents.


    “Dad, have you finished thinking about buying the Winepany?”


    The pen on the page paused for a long time then continued moving,pleting a signature.


    Honestly, Kent is also hesitant because shareholders want GE Group to own the Winepany’s wine brand.


    The group’s cash resources are not enough to pay for this deal. If they proceed, they must mortgage all remaining real estate of GE Group, even his real estate.


    “I’m letting people listen to the situation and see what prices other ces offer.” Kent raised his head, rubbed his forehead, and said.


    “Dad, please decide to buy it. I will mortgage all real estate in my name to support this deal. We will offer a higher price than other bosses and buy it quickly.” Brian pulled out a chair and sat down opposite his father and showed an expressionless face.


    “What? What are you saying? Are you crazy? If you can’t buy it, that’s fine, why spend more?” Kent widened his eyes.


    “Must buy.”


    Brian took a deep breath, put the DNA test results down in front of his father, then turned his head to look away, hiding his gradually red eyes.


    Kent frowned, reached out, picked up the thin stack of papers, and read. Just like his son, the conclusion on the page made him lose hisposure, trembling and raising his head. At the same time, Brian also looked at him.


    “I saw a picture of her mother in that desk drawer. At first, it was just a little suspicion with no clear basis, but when I received this result, my heart waspletely broken.”


    “Brian…”


    “How could Dad betray Mom? How can you create a living being and pretend you don’t know? How can you watch your daughter suffer so much without even reaching out to help her? How could you ignore me and only say a few words of dissuasion when you know that I love Emily? Dad, have you ever thought about what consequences it would cause if we really got together?”


    Brian’s voice is quite small, only enough for people sitting at close range to hear. He didn’t scream, but the flowing tears were like a knife cutting deep into Kent’s seemingly hardened heart.


    Yes, he betrayed his wife in a moment of weakness but he did not know about this daughter’s existence.


    His marriage to his wife stemmed from family interests and the feelings he had for her were only conjugal, not male-female love.


    “I’m sorry, I didn’t know she was my daughter. I don’t know.”


    This was the first time Kent apologized to his son and also the first time he lost his majestic, solemn appearance in front of him.


    Memories from the past gradually appeared. The examination results on his hand helped him realize that he was the criminal in this story. Yet, for all these years, he always med the two of them.


    In a sad voice, Kent told his son about his past love story. That year, while in a rtionship with his wife, he fell in love with a young girl working at a pub, named Wendy.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    The rtionship in the dark was going extremely well until one day, the girl asked him to marry her.


    “I’m sorry because at that time I intended to divorce your mother to be with her. However, because I told her to wait a little longer, she immediately married James. It turned out… it turned out that she was pregnant. I don’t know, she never told me.” He lowered his head, avoiding Brian’s eyes.


    Because the person he loved suddenly became someone else’s wife and passed away after giving birth to her first child, he held a grudge against James for all those years.


    At parties, he still deliberately told his employees to send invitations to James, the purpose being to show off the position of GE Corporation and say a few insulting words about him.


    Now that he thinks back, he sees that he was truly a childish, terrible, evil, and stupid person.


    James witnessed his hical love affair and also had secret feelings for Wendy. He raised and loved Emily for all these years even though he knew that she was not his daughter.


    Kent knew clearly that James was not such an idiot that he wouldn’t realize that he was raising another person’s child.


    Perhaps he knew that so he quickly got married right after Wendy ended her rtionship with her first lover.


    “This deal… I leave it to you. Brian, we can’t let your mother know about this, I don’t want to lose her.”


    Kent slowly stood up and walked to the ss door, looking out at the city sparkling with electric lights outside.


    He couldn’t openly acknowledge Emily as his daughter, so he could onlypensate her in this way. He wanted to keep this warm and happy family intact.


    Furthermore, he knew Emily would never ept him. In her heart, James is her biological father. He didn’t want her to feel more pain and resentment.


    “Yes.”


    After a brief reply, Brian immediately left. He is a sessful businessman who has been honored by famous newspapers. He has never been stupid enough to do things that make the corporation disadvantaged. However, this time is an exception.


    “James, thank you, sorry.” The man’s choked voice spoke as the door of the room closed.
