Chapter 98

Paternity test?

Anya was startled before feeling a slight chill running down her back.

It seemed that her guess was correct.

Since Evan was not a complete rookie and not to mention, he had been in the business for so long now. How could he possibly be fooled by such a baseless excuse?

Fortunately for Anya, she was prepared for this, she did not panic after she was asked that.

“Mr. Welton, I have no idea what you’re talking about? What does your paternity test have anything to do with me?” Anyal replied in a calm tone after calming herself down.

Evan glared at her beautiful yet arrogant little face like a hawk as his gaze dimmed a little before saying, “That night you spent with me a year ago, well, it’s been more than a year since. The child should be around a year old now, right?”

When Evan brought up that embarrassing night, Anya’s beautiful cheeks began to blush slightly as she bit her lips. She truly wished to clamp Evan’s mouth shut.

Did he not know that a lawyer was standing right beside him?

How could he talk about that night so casually though?

Anya bashfully bit her lips before saying, “You’re overthinking it, Mr. Welton. I’ve taken contraceptive pills then.” She felt that she was blushing heavier after she finished saying that.

‘How embarrassing.

The truth was, the lawyer that was standing beside him also felt slightly awkward.

He had always been working for Welton Group and to him, Evan was an extraordinary, disciplined and handsome man. He was absurdly strict when it came to romantic relationships and never had the habit of mingling with women.

However, he was actually called over that day to discuss matters about children’s rights and paternity tests.

His heart had been racing the entire time. It was not because that he was excited when it came to gossips, the truth was, it

was because that he was afraid and worried.

It would be bad for him to know too much private matters when it came to wealthy families like his. That was because this would involve the entire reputation of Welton Group.

If this scandal was to leak someday in the future, he might actually be dead. He would much rather not know anything about this.

However, Evan actually exposed what happened that night.

The lawyer’s heart was racing so fast, It actually hurt. He truly wished to not be there.

“Hah! you’ve taken your pills?” Evan scoffed. How could he not know about her excuse.

“Yeah. I have no idea how you managed to think that my cousin’s son has anything to do with you. How do you think my cousin–in–law would feel about this?” Anya stood her ground while holding back her shame.

“You have a cousin?” Evan’s gaze dimmed before immediately getting up from his chair and slowly striding over to Anya.

He towered over Anya and spoke in a deep voice, “Anya, I’ve looked into your family. Your mother had passed away a year ago and have lived with your aunt. Moreover, your aunt hasn’t even given birth yet, so how could you possibly have a

cousin?”

Anya ignored his menacing aura as she raised her beautiful little face and calmly replied him with a smile, “Of course I do. My aunt has never given birth to a child before but she has adopted a child once. The only thing is, not many people know about this. You wouldn’t look into that as well now, right, Mr. Welton?”

Evan had no idea she had quite the silver tongue. It seemed that she was able to come up with some excuse to explain whatever questions he threw at her. However, Evan was still a powerful man. If he was not, then how could he possibly support and manage Welton Group?

He immediately reached out and tightly pinched her chin before exclaiming in a cold deep voice, “It’ll do you no good to go against me, Anya,”

“I know you’re a powerful man but I truly wasn’t being stubborn.” Anya replied. Her chin was being gripped by Evan’s rough fingers and although it felt uncomfortable to her, it felt soft as well. This made Anya’s breathing slightly labored.

She held back all kinds of strange emotions as she wanted to break free and hide from his vice grip. She then said, “If you don’t believe me, then should I call my cousin?”
